COMPANY ORDERS TIE-UP
OF TOLEDO STREET CARS
Labor Boards Award to Employees,
Including Right to Wear Union
Button, Protested.

TOLEDO; Ohio. May 30.-Street car
service was at standstill here this
morning. Company and labor officials
went into conference shortly after
midnight and it was announced early
today that 1t was deemed impossible
to reach an early agreement. I; 4
When the day crews. wearing the
union button, reported for work they
were informed that the cars were not
to be operated.
The tie-up started at midnight when
crews wearing the labor insignia, were
ordered to take their cars into the
barns.
The War Labor Board two. days ago
awarded the conductors and motor
men a wage increase which included
the principal points in, the street car
controversy which resulted in a lock-
out three years ago last April.
The attitude Of the company is a
surprise to officials of organised labor.
T Tnank R. ,, Coates, president preside Of the
declared today that he has not re-
ceived the official text of the labor
boards award and until it arrived
his company stood where it did three
years ago when the cars were idle
three weeks from the same cause.
THE figures awarded the men, if
they are correct as published in the
newspapers, are very high and will
necessitate an increase in fare"
Coates said after reading an unoffi-
cial account of the award.
The men are to receive from 43 to
46 cents an hour under the award.
They asked 50 to 60 cents, but agreed
to abide by the decision of the board.
Two interurban lines also are af-
fected by the tie-up.

District Eager to Welcome
Its 312th Conquerors, But
Boys Want Only "Home''

Plans for the welcome home of the
100 Washingtonians of the 3l2th Ma
chine Gun Battalion, which fell
through on account of the War De-
partment's error regarding the date
and place of their arrival, have not
yet been revised. A reception. equal
to that of the men of the 10th Field
Artillery is assured, according to mem
bers Of the committee, but details
have not been formulated
officials state that unless arrange
ments are made before the early part
of next week the men will be mustered
out of the service.
Funds for the reception of these
men have been contributed by family
members. Ample money is on hand,
according to Isaac Cans, chairman of
the citizens committee on welcome
home activities.
Although there is sentiment among
the men Of the 312th opposed to any
| "blow out" friends of the battalion in
this city believe that the boys would
feel sighted If just as warm a recep-
ton as the others received were not
accorded them.
1T is pointed out that the 312th is
| the Washington detachment which
has seen real lighting in the war
being officially designated as the unit
which took Montfaucon.

PARIS, May 30.-Not a grave of any
American who fell in the great war
was overlooked in today's observance
of Memorial day in France. Some OF
the services were held in the vicinity
of the battle line along which the
troops fought and sacrificed their
lives-in the cemetery where they
were laid to rest. Others took place
near the hospital centers further
back, where those whose wounds
finally caused their death have been
buried.
The two most notable events OF the
day were at Surgenes. near Paris. and
at Romagne, near the Argonne. Presi-
dent Wilson left the labors of the
peace conference to go to the former
cemetery there.
BY the time President Wilson ar
rived at the Surgenes cemetery a
great throng had gathered to attend
the exercises. 1t included numerous
distinguished members of allied Off
cialdom, who had come to hear the
Presidents address and pay tribute
to the American dead.

dress at Suresnes. The private coun-

longer determine the destinies of ma
lions.
An earnest defense of the league of
nations was a prominent note of the
Presidents address. He said he look
ed for the time when a man who fail

ashamed as the man who opposed the
union of the states after the civil war.
