Industrial Peace Depends
Upon Results Of Govern
ment's Campaign.
GOMPERS IN CHARGE
Directcr-Gencral Hines Takes Dras-
tic Measures-Tells Men if They
Strike Jobs Will be Filled.

That industrial peace in the Uni
ted States will depend upon the re-
suits the government shows in the
next 90 days in its campaign to re
ducc the high cost of living, was ap-
parent from developments in the
railroad strike situation yesterday.
Director General Hines last night
seved notice on "public officers,
railroad officers and employees and
citizens generally in California, Ar
iona AMI Nevada" that the Rail
oal Administration would under
take to restore full railroad sevice
in these St:tes on and after Z
o'clock tomorrow morning, and that
all striking employees who do not re-
turn to work by that time will find
their places filled.
Anyone who -inttrfercs with or
impedes the use of railroad prop
erty, Mr.. Hines said, would be dealt
wit, for having committed an Of
fensc against the United States.
This at..ion, coming after the an
nounccmcnt by the four brother
hood chiefs that the brotherhood
would assist the Railroad Admins
tration in operating the lines If the
Illegal strike was not terminated
IS the most drastic ever taken by
the Government in a labor contro-
vcrsy.
Mr.. Hines in addition sent tcle-
grams to the Governors Of Calltor-
MIA. Nevada and Arizona and to the
Mayors of principal cities in those
States asking cooperation in main
tanning traffic and in preventing in
terfer.nce with the movement OF
trains.

ment as to what course would be
pursued in dealing with the many
problems pressing for attention. In
the case of the steel workers, their
committee after conferr.ng with Mr.
Gompers, made public a letter to

Red Gross Sewing
Finished Wednesday

With the completion of about
10 600 pieces of work since last
October, the local Red Cross
organization has finished a glorious
work, with the exception of some
knitting. The sewing and gauze
rooms are closed.
Idaho Springs chapter made a
record unique in the state. Not
a garment was returned because of
poor work. This was due to
excellent workmanship, and to
constant supervision.
The local organization has at all
times been sound financially, thanks
to the spirit of the community and
to those in charge of that part of
the work.
Infinite patience, exacting work
sincere loyalty and intense patriot
ism have combined to make the
work of the Clear Creek chapter
of the Red Cross a part of the
war activity of which the communi-
ty is Justly proud.

been vice president of the First
National and also liquidating agent
for the Merchants and Miners Ma

IAuthentic Account OF
Ralph wilkins Death

story of the death of Ralph Will
kins while in service in France,
comes to his mother, Mrs Jennie
Wilkins through the efforts of the
local Red Cross and the Paris Of
fee of that organization and is
the word of an eye witness
The Red Cross notified Mrs.
Wilkins of theirinformation March
II, and the young man who had
furnished it wrote her April 3,
and parts of the letter are as fol-
lows:
"We were stationed on Hill 264
to the right of Crezancy, France,
about two miles south of the
Marne river, with the one pound
gun section.
''On the morning of July l9
most of the boys made up their
bed rolls and put them with the
boxes of ammunition. | did not
roll up mine for some reason, but
left it in the dugont I slept in the
night before. We were working
on a new dugout. About FIVE
O'Clock in the evening the sergeant
got his roll and carried it to the
new dugout About FIVE minutes
later four men-Ralph, his bunkie
Bevins and two others-went after
their packs
Just as they got there a shell
landed in among the ammunition,
exploding several boxes of it.
Ralph was hit on the left side
just below the heart, and was kill
led almost instantly. His bunkie,
though wounded by the same she'll.
caught Ralph when he fell and
carried him to a first aid station
about thirty feet away. One of
the others was wounded and the
fourth went insane from shell
shock.
Il was about fifty feet away
when i, happened. ! was going
to the old dugout for my pack.
Il hope to meet you some day.
Ralph was a fine lad and an excel
lent soldier. He was buried in a
cemetery at st. Eugene, France.
Clarence l.. Williams,
Fremont, Ohio"
Ralph Wilkins was indeed fine
young man with brilliant future
awaiting him, had he returned.
He was a favorite among his
school friends here, at Boulder
and ut the Rolla (Missouri) School
of Mines. He was we'll liked by
the men with whom he had al
ready come in contact in the assay
office of Guy Arkills.
But. glorious as might have
been his career had he lived, there
can be nothing grander said of a
man than "He fell at the second
battle of the Marne."
Ralph had been in France about
three months, and as he was last
heard from shortly after the
Fourth of July, it is not yet known
how long he had been at the front.
Through the Graves Registration
bureau, Mrs. Wilkins has had the
body recovered from its temporary
resting place. identified, and buried
in the American cemetery at Con-
nigis Aisne, France.
