Not Radical Move.

Washington, April 16.-Attorney General Palmer's conclusions that the "outlaw" railway strike was traceable to activities of radicals and revolutionists was sharply challeng- ed tonight in statement issued by Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor. An Independent investigation of the strike caused by the railway exec utives, the statement said, reversed "just a plain, ordinary strike for more pay"
 of there were enough revolution ary power in the United States to create such an outbreak as this," MT. Morrison said, "the condition would be serious indeed. But there is no such power. The absolute failure of the attorney general to grasp the true situation is amazing"
 The department of justice had no additional announcements to make tonight to support it's conclusions The only development of the day affecting the governments connec- ton with the strike situation was the organization meeting of the railway labor board, which met with seven of it's members present, elected off. cers and determined to take up, be- ginning tomorrow, the whole question of railway wages at the point where the bipartisan discussion betweer men and employers dropped it some days ago, unable to reach a conclu' l Sicn.
 While tactics of the rail strikers were wrong and disavowed by or ganized labor, MT. Morrison's state ment said that should not proven an "honest understanding of thu facts" His own viewpoint as tt causes of the strike, he added, wa based on reports gathered by em ployers' representatives not in sym pathy with the strikers.
 "I point to these reports and th' evidence they contain as an evidenc of governmental stupidity in dealini with the situation," MT. Morrison continued. "While the government :. through the attorney general, is con templating repression and punish ment treating the strike as crime the real employers know that tn ! strike is an outbreak against econo mic conditions" New York and New England inves tigators reported they had foun strike sentiment strongest anon the intelligent and conservativ men" MT. Morrison said, Many l the strikers have served for Ion
