Six HNladmsd Million Dollars Added to
Pay Envelopes, Instead of One
Billion, the IncreaseAsked.
Chicago.-Six hundrd million dol-lars was added to the pay envelopesof the nation's 2,000.0400 railroad work-ers in the first award handed down bythe new United States railway labort oard.
Rejecting the demands of th" organ-ized railroad unions for increases to-taling approximately one billion dol-lars the board decided approximately60 per cent of that pum would be alust increase to meet present livingconditions.
Railroad officials have declared thatany pay increas3 awarded the menmust *be fol'owed by 4 correspondingincrease in rates, and they plan, it issaid, to file new tariffs with the in-terstate commerce commission as soonas they can be prepared.
An 13 plr cent tncrease in freightrates will be necessary to meet thewage awards granted railroad em-ployes, E. T. Whiter, representativeof the railroads in the hearings beforethe railway labor board announced.
Acceptance under protest of theUnited States railway labor board'sdecision was decided upon at an ex-ecutive conference here by all of the16 recognized railroad unions, exceptone, it was announced, following the
Smeeting by Timothy Shea, grand chiefof the Brotherhood of RailwayTrainmen.
The one exception was the Brother-hood of Railway Telegraphers. whichreferred the award to its membershiptogether with a strike proposition.The fifteen other organizations decided they would renew their case before the labor board.
The organizations which accept :1the award expressed dissalisfactio:iwith the amount of increases granted,but decided upon acceptance in order.they stated, to receive the back paydue them under the award. Leaderssaid they would present a new re-quest for further increases in wagerto meet what they considered a "fairwage."
The telegra.phers in a statement de-clared that they 'apparently had beenunjustly discriminated against by.theboard without any explanation forthis discrimination. They receiveda smaller amount than any other or-ganization, and the representativeswho were ;a this city have referredthe award without a recommendationco the membership with a strike voteadded, for such action as they shalldecide upon.

MUST SIGN OR QUITEUROPE FOREVER
ALLIED REPLY TO TURKISH OB.JECTIONS DELIVERED TO SUL-
TAN'S PEACE DELEGATION.
THE ULTIMATUM DELIVERED
"Time Has Come to Put E'nd, Onoe
and for All, to Empire of Turks
Over Other Nations,"Says Note.
Versailles.-A threat to drive theTurks from Europe "once and for all"was contained in the allied reply tothe Turkish objections to the peacetreaty delivered to the Turkish peacedelegation here. Such action mightfollow Turkey's refusal to sign thetreaty or her failure to give it effect,the rep!y states.
The Turks were informed in the re-ply that they must make known theirdecision within 10 days. If by July27, they were told, they had not signi*fled their willingness to sign the peacetreaty, "the allied powers will takesuch action as they may consider nec-essary."
The allies made some minor modifi-cations in the treaty after the Turkehad presented their protests, but it isunderstood these modifications do notmaterially affect the original draft.
The allied reply is couched in thebluntest language, and says:
"If the Turkish government refusesto sign the peace treaty, still more ifit finds itself unable to re-establish itsauthority in Anatolia or give effect tothe treaty, the allies, in accordancewith the terms of the treaty, may bedriven to reconsider this arrangementby ejecting the Turks from Europeonce and for all.
"The allies are clear that the timehas come when it is necessary to putan end once and for all to the empireof Turks over othr nations."
The reply says t e Turkish govern-ment would appear to think its re-sponsibility in war is less than thatof its allies and that Turkey there-fore is entitled to lenient treatment,but the allies cannot accept that plea.Thb note main:tains "Turkey enteredthe war without a shadow of excuseor provocation," and by closing thestraits in the face of the allies "Tur-key certainly pro'onzed the war bynot less than two years and causedloss to the allies of thousands oflives and thousands 'of millions ofpounds."
