Although executive heads of the railroad employees bolted from the wage hearing Friday at which outside organizations were allowed to present evidence on behalf of the public, it failed to stop the presentation of the industrial side of the dispute, in which the National Industrial Traffic league asked the United States railroad labor board to throw out all controversy and revert the matter back to the employees and the corporations. The railroad men refused to sit in the hearing when J. H. Libby attempted to introduce the shippers views. Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the employees, presented a protest to the labor board, in which he said the employees are not going to be placed in the position of being drawn into another hearing. , The employees also presented a brleT to the board, in which they protested the bringing in of outside parties not interested in the dispute. The whole controversy at the meeting hinged around whether the board had the right to bring in outside witnesses. In ruling that the outsiders had a right to inervene, not as a party to the dispute, but as an outsider, Ben G. Hooper, chairman of the board, said: The board holds that these parties cannot intervene here as par. ties to the dispute, because the statute does not authorize it, but the board has the power to hear such evidence, if it so desires, without' obli- a ethei hcai featlayttsolf ings. The board has in this instance not gone out of its way and asked these men to appear here. B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad shop crafts unions; E. F. Manion, head of the telegraphers; D. w! Holt of the signalmen; Timothy Healy of the firemen and oilers ; T. C. Cash in of the switchmen; J. C. Smook of the maintenance of way, and J. G. Luhrsen of the train dispatchers, formed a procession that got up and walked out, with tho board still in session. After the exodus Mr. Burchmore presented his statement. Mr. Burchmore said that railroad labor has been a preferred class, receiving wages out of harmony to those paid to comparative employment in comercial industries. Mr. Burchmore also said the labor board should set aside all wage orders and decisions now in force and discontinue the present hearings. If disputes have arisen, he said, institute hearings properly conducted. The case now before the board grew from the request of carriers for authority to reduce wages of railroad labor approximately 10 per cent and to include maintenance of way men, shop crafts, dining-ca- r employees, signalmen, dispatchers and telegraphers in the cut. It is common knowledge, Mr. Burchmore said, that railroad labor in many instances has been a preferred class, receiving wages out of harmony to those paid to comparative employment in commercial industries, and it is neither right nor to the public interest. Washington. ing get system for the current fiscal year Is disclosed in a report by Budget Director Dawes, which President Harding Monday transmitted to Chairman Madden of the house apropriatlons committee Monday. On the whole, the president's letter reads, I believe congress will find the operation of the newly adopted methods to be highly gratifying, not only in having brought about reductions in expenditures in accord with the manifest wishes of congress in reduced appropriations, but in revealing the possibilities of savings through more efficient methods in the future, thus conveying to the people the demonstrations of those in authority to operate the government effectively at the least possible cost, to make the governments full ways of peace and ultimately lifting the excessive burden of taxation. The chief points brought out in the Teport of Mr. Dawes are the following : First, that the expenditures of government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, which, after executive pressure, plan and policy had been imposed upon the business organization, were given in the December budget estimate as $3,967,922,366, will be at least $45,550,336 less than this estimate, or approximately the - sum of $3,922,372,030, 'a reduction of over $1,600,000,000 from the actual expen- - that after eliminating from the estimates, the confusing figures Second, incident to operations in capital funds, the public debt and other similar BRITISH AND ITALIAN PREMIER8 ADDRE8S STRONG APPEAL Tq GENOA CONFERENCE FICIAL 8PEAK8 estimate V.

Third, that the saving against current appropriations of $112,000,000 set up by the departments and establishments in August, 1921, in response to executive request has been increased, notwithstanding reappropriations of congress of over $7,000,000 of this reserve for other purposes, to the approximate sum of $136,000,000, at which it now stands. Only such part of these reductions as are real savings and not postponed expenditures have been included in the general estimate of savings given. Fourth, that the present estimated expenditures for 1922 for the operation of the routine business of government generally subject to executive control, after eliminating certain expenditures amounting to $7,500,000 authorized by congrress after the submission of the budget Yor representation of the United States at the Brazil exposition, seed loans, and fulfillment of the treaty with Colombia, as compared with the December budget estimates show an excess of only Fishing Piers Are Planned on a total of $1,758,375,672, or Los Angeles, Cal.

SALT LAKE ROAD Branch Line to Be Built Into Millard County and Will Tap Rich , Agricultural Section of State; Application Filed Salt Lake. Copies of the application of the Los Angeles & Salt TaEc railroad to the 'Interstate commerce commission for a permit to construct a branch line of the railroad in Millard county have been received by the public utilities commission and by Governor Charles R. Mabey. No application, it is held by local counsel of tbernadjtaiaecesakry"ttobtalned from the state public utilities commission. The petition filed in Washington reads in part, as follows : That permission is desired to retain the excess earnings derived from such new line. That the reasons why the present and future convenience and necessity require or will require the proposed construction are as follows: The territory traversed by the proposed new line is not now served by a railroad. Formerly a grazing country, it is becoming an important agricultural section, due to the land being brought under irrigation. A considerable portion of the lands which will be served by the proposed line are at present under cultivation and a great many additional acres will soon be placed under Irrigation by means of projects now in course of development and construction. The territory, therefore. will require railroad transportation service for the marketing of its products." The filing is made pursuant to a decision of the board of directors on April 2. The route and terminal of the new branch are described as follows in the application: From the town of Delta to the town of Fillmorr, a distance of apmiles. proximately thirty-fiv- e It will not pass through any incorporated towns or villages between the termini The application is signed by C. R. Gray, as president of the company. The blue print of the route accompanying the application indicates that after leaving the Delta station in an extended S curve the line will run straight as an arrow to a point near North Chalk creek, two miles directly north of the northern boundaries of Fillmore, when the line runs directly south to a point one mile south of the. same boundary line. ' The state law, as passed in October, 1919, at the special session of the legislature, provides that railroad corporations within the control of the commission that is, doing an intrastate business shall apply for a certificate of convenience and necessity from the state commission also provided that this section shall not be construed to require any such corporation to secure such certificate for an extension within any cityt or town within which it shall have heretofore lawfully commenced operations, or for an extension into territory within or without a city or town contiguous to its railroad and not heretofore served by a public utility of like character, or for an extension within or to territory already served by it, necessary in the ordinary course of business. The present branch line is probably the first to come under this section since the law was passed, although the main line of the Salt Lake & Denver Railroad company obtained a certificate under the same section. -- UTAH I Salt take City.

Activities of the school children went far to make the ro--' cent clean-up- , paint-u- p and beautification campaign of the Commercial club a success. Report of what was accomplished by the students has been prepared by J. Leo Fairbanks, supervisor of art in the school system. Students planted 5,430 trees, 19,215 shrubs and 9,486 lawns and flower beds, according to statistics collected from the various schools. They cleaned 9,532 yards and 3,023 alleys. Their contribution included the planting of 4,959 vegetable gardens, the removal of 4,865 dead trees or stumps, the painting or repairing of 2,386 gates or fences, the painting and repairing of 2,623 homes, 1,165 outbuildings and 1,443 roofs, and the removal of 256 advertising placards from trees and fences.
