OHICAGO, Feb. 10.—The United States Railroad Labor Board to-day rejected the appeal of the Associa- tien of Raihway Executives for im- mediate abrogation of all working agreements, and also refused to au- thorize a cut in wages of raéiroad inberere. “It is obvious that the board cannot assume without evidence of the just- | ness and reasonableness of the agree- | ments, rules and working conditions in | effect on each railroad as of Dec. 31, 1917, that. such agreements, rules and working conditions would constitute just and reasonable rules and working conditions to-day on the railroads par- ties to the present dispute,” the board | announced. | “To make such a decision without evidence and careful conskleration | would be an abdication of the func- tions of this board and would frus- trate the purposes of the Transporta- ton Act. : “The board must also deny the re- | quest that the prevailing rate of wages in unskilled labor be applied to railroad laborers.” | “The board is now endeavoring to determine whether any of the rules in the national agreements are unjyst, | and will be better able to succeed in doing so if it is mot further inter- rupted by the introduction of unwar- ranted demands by ejther party," it is stated. ‘The board announced it would con- tinue its hearing on the national agreement and would hear the em- ployees’ side of the case. Labor Attorney Frank P.

Mr. Lloyd George to-day informed he Locomotive Engineers’ and Firemen’s Union that its implied | threat to bring on a general strike in Great Britain over the shooting of railwaymen at Mallow, Ireland, would not influence the Government in considering the union’s demand for an investigation. The intimation of the union in a resolution adopted by its Executive was that unless the Government granted an inquiry into the Mallow affair by Fob, 15 and gave guarantees for the safety of the members of the union, a gen- eral strike would be called. Mr. ,Lioyd George announced to Secretary Bromley of the union that it was the Government's intention to send the Leeds resolution to Ireland for informative purposes. ‘The Premier said ihe wished. it stated at once that no threat of a national strike could be “permitted to influence the action of the Goy- ernment on @ matter of the adminis- tration of the law. ‘The Government wil consider the question purely on its merits, without reference to these improper threats.” ‘The Mallow shooting occurred Jan, 81, District Inspector King wae wounded and his wife shot dead by vome unidentified persons, and the qolice, hearing the shots, rushed to the Matlow Railway Station.

ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 10.—Despite persistent reports that officers of certain State detachments had been directed to hold their com- mands in readiness for prompt move- ment to Albany or Troy, the iseu- ance of such orders was denied both militia at the Adjutant General's headquar- ters and at the office of Gov. Miller, An additional squad of State troan- ers arrived here to«<kay, most of them coming from the Westchester district. The operation of cars in Albany began early, when three cars left the North AYbany barns to Waterviiet Avenue, a distance of about four miles. The cars were greeted by a Jeering mob, but there was no disorder, no throwing of bricks. In Troy, fearing disorders if at tempts t® operate cars with atrike- breakers are made will reach propor- tions where they cannot be handled by the local police, Mayor Fleming to-day appealed to Gov. Miller for State troopers. Fifty will be sent ana are expected to be in Troy by night- fall One lone car in Troy was stopped soon after it left the barns asa result of running into a section where cut wires had crippled the overhead power system. ‘The throwing of a single brick as the car came to a stop was the only sign of any disorder, ‘The car was guarded by thirty patrolmen and a half dozen private guards, But one car had been sent out of the barns up to 11 o'clock this morn- ing.

There Ate Now 35 All From Italian Ports—Close Watch on Ocean Liners, Twenty cases of typhus were found to-day on the steamship San Giusto of the Comtlish Line when ehe ar rived from Trieste, Naples and Pal- ermo. Dr. Leland 8. Caofer, health officer af the port, who supervised the inspection, said H was the langest number of typhus cases be had ever found on one ship. There were three deathe on board, tested es caused by “cardiac exhaus- tion,” but Dr. Cofer says he believes the cause wus typhus. , There were 1,375 passengers on board, 1,135 af them tn the steerage. Ail of them will be beld until elabor- ate medical tests can be’ made, for De. Cofer said go chances would be taken, On Hoffman's Island, where the typhus cases are to be treated, there are allready fifteen cases, afl but one of which were found a week ago on the Presidente Wilson. These with additional twenty will tax the equip- ment on the island to the Nmit, Of the twenty cases found on ar- rival, one was a child, the rest aduite, mostly women, Ail the cases came from Trieste, which was also true of the typhus cases brought in by the Presidénte Wilsdn. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, ‘New York Health Commissioner, when told of the typhus cases aboard the San Giusto, declared the veusel would not be allowed to dock in this port for at least thres weeks, He said that steps must be taken immediately to stop immigration from Furopean na- tions where typhua has been preva- lent “L believe that President Wilson should declare an embargo upon im- migrants from certain parts of Eu- rope,” Dr, Copeland said. “It is my understanding that under Section VII, of the Quarantine Law passed in 1893 the President has power to declare such an embargo. It is about time the United States woke up to the danger it ts facing from these immigrants.” The State and Federal health au- | thorities are co-operating and tak- ing every precaution to guard the Port of New York against typhus, smallpox or cholera victims being lunded from liners coming from plague-infected European ports, Dr, Cofer sald “there ts no nocd (Continued on Second Page.)
