CHICAGO, April 22. Federal
Judge 'George T, Page today up
held the Pennsylvania railroad In
Its suit to test the power of the
United States railroad labor board
by refusing to dismiss the tem
porary injunction recently grant
ed by Judge Landis, restraining
the board from censuring the road
for violation of the board's - de
orees. Judge Page, while refusing to
dismiss the temporary injunction,
ordered a conference of attorneys
for both sides and the case prob
ably will come iUp again later. The
board ordered the road to hold
new elections among its shoo
craft employes some time? ago
and the road refused to do , so.
The board then prepared to issue
a decree censuring the carrier and
the Pennsylvania obtained the In
junction to teat the board's pow

at the board, announced ha would

history ot labor disputes and In
dustrial legislation in this noun
try," Judge Barton said. i
The court's decision, after re
viewing the history of the trans.
portation act, federal Control and

constitutionality . of the. transpor

ON FUTURE RATES
Specific Proposals for
Better Service to Farm
ers Set Forth.
WASHINGTON', ""April 2:'.
Transportation rates on products
ot agriculture, as on many other
commodities, now "bear a dispro
portionate relation to th pT)ioe .f
uch commodities." and shoiHH be
Immediately reduced, according to
findings of the Joint congressional
commission of agricultural InquliX
announced today by Chairman An
derson. Not only should these
freight charges come down, the re
port declared, but In the future
rate making bodies and rate traffic
officers should give "greatei con
sideration to the relative value of
commodities In the making of
rates," and let existing charges on
high priced finished products stand
if necessary to remove cost bur
dens from basic materials.
Exhaustive review of the trans
portation system has convinced the
commission, Chairman Anderson
said, that "pyramided per cent ad
vances" of freight rates during
war and following years," caused
dislocation of long standing rela
tionships between rates on argicui
tural and Industrial products, and
between competitive enterprises
and competitive territories," which
dislocation should now be re
moved. The object of rate making
bodies should be, he said, in pre
senting commission views, "to re
adjust rates so far as practicable
to relationship existing prior
to 1918."
Effects ot freight rates sre em
phasized, it was said, because on
perishables, "they amount norm
ally to one-third of the selling
price, and frequently two-thirds,
and purchasers and farmers ure
dependent In a marked degree up
on transportation charges," in
prices. The general result of In
creased , railroad rates and de
pressed commoauy prices was to
bring railroad rates on farm pro
ducts in October,. 1912, to an in
dex average ot 169,, or roughly 69
per cent above pre-war levels,
while farm products stood at 102,
or barely 2 per cent above pre
war. . Outside ot Its general conclu
sions, the commission advanced
three speeHle proposals to better
transportation service for farmers,
the first being the enlargement of
"competitive avenues of distribu
tion through which the largest
number of consumer can reason
ably be reached;" the second was
the extension of through rates on
grain ."to. points of consumption
through two or more competitive
primary markets;" and the third
the extension of the prlcnlple that
coarse grains, such as corn, should
take lower charges than bread
stuffs. ' Adequate car s equipment
should also be maintained, it was
added. . '; " 1 . l:
On' dairy pro4uxlf l and on cot

ment ! Beaverdam valley have
hwen abandoned by officials of
Lakoview Incorporated, jt was an
nounced M'Bterdsy by Fred L.
Bile, secretary of the corporation.
It is dtrlaredV. however, that it is
the una;.!rnous opinion of the
stockholders that development
wjrk eruuld ho begun at once in
putting the property, construct
ing stri'Otn, sewerage systems,
electric' tight systems and other
improvements, all without regard

The plans for development will

and expert landscape architect,
and thi residential development
will be one of the most attractive

When interviewed! by a repre

French Delegate Quits
Experts' Meeting.
GENOA, April !2. (By the As.
sociated Press.) The criels In th
econolmc conference, raised today
by the Frenoh objection to Ger
niany's reply to the ten power not
suggesting that the German dele
gation refrain from discussions re
latlng to Uussian affairs, had not
passed satisfactorily up to a late
hour this evening. ',
At k meeting of representative
or the ten entente powers late till
afternoon it was agreed that an
other note be sent to the German
stating It was assumed that they
meant, in their reply transmitted
yeaterday. to refrain from all Rus
sian discussions In the political
commission of the conference.
In fact, the British and tnnot
other interested delegations so In
terpreted the German rsply, but
the French erprensed fear that th.
German note left a loop hole,
through which the German might
enter into the discussions of Rus
sian questions not treated In thai
Russo-German treaty signed at
Itapallo last h'unday.
The ten power delegates are)
meeting tomorrow to draft thi
supplementary note to the Oar"',
man, but It waa not certain to
night whether the French would
to mis action, they ar
entremely auaptcloua ot the Ger
man document, and apparently tl
French delegation at Genoa Is be
ing driven hard by Pari to hs,v It
revised.' . .
The French also raised objection
to the voluminous bolaheMki docu
ment Which becam publln yester
day. in which Russian ma.de a long
reply to the London expert report
cn the reetoratlon of Russia. -
M. JJarthou ald -the French
could not sit with the Russian com
mission again until this document
wa discussed. Th soviet expert
explained that thi document coin
prised merely their own argument
and wa superseded by M. Chft
chwln' note sotting forth their po-1
sltion accurately.
IJoyil George Appear to Be
Annoyed Over Quibble .'
Iremler Lloyd Georg appeared
much annoyed over th French!
"auibble," He declared he had!
only read three line of the doouJ
ment, which had never ben offlclJ
a.lly presented to th conferenoeS
and was patently part of the nori
mal bolshevik propaganda. He al
announced that h wa getblna
tired of crisis, which wer beinj
foisted upon the conference, to thj
great detriment of work nd wUrti-s
ed to say on behalf of th delega.
tlon of th British empir that ill
these crisis and delay continue
he -would be forced to explain whl
wa responsible for thm.
The British delegation has mod
received a yet the prott which
the French government 1 report
to have sent out from Pari to that
power lgnatory to th Vensallle
treaty, and which Frano 1 said td
maintain that the Ruaso-Gwrmanl
treaty I In violation ot th VerJ
Bailie treaty. !
When the expert met today ti
discuss the Russian juetlon thi
French repreentotlT xipllnd
that he could not remain, so Ions
a the misunderstanding created
by the Ruralan memorandum was
not cleared up. Thi memoran
dum. he aanerted, was )n ataouti
contradiction to the soviet' anawol
to the allie accepting the allien1
condition. The French delegat
then withdrew from th meeting;
and th Japanese did llkewia and
th meeting brok up. It 1 tn
smooth out thi matUr that th
sub commission that th Ruaalaq

delegates will attend this mMtlngr,
