RAILROAD BOARD HASTENS UNDER
 UNION THREAT
President Urges Action to Placatc the 1 eeders of
 the Yardnlen
(AsseeiGfed Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, June 24. - Assur- ance that the railroad labor board would expedite its award in the rail road wage controversy was received today by President Wilson. The boards message to the president was in reply to an inquiry by the executive as to the possibility of hastening the award or of announcing a tentative or partial settlement. The reply of the board had not been made public at the White House tonight. It was understood to- set forth that some de- lay must occur in a matter in which there are so many conflicting claims, so many classes of workers to be con- sidered and so much evidence, written and oral, to be reviewed.
 While hopeful that the text of the
 boards reply would be made public eventually, representatives here of the railroad unions said that the mere as surance that an early award could be expected would exerclse a beneficial effect at least in preventing the spread of incipient strikes. Wilson Urges Haste The president in his message to the board said:
 Reports placed before me show transportation situation growing hour l ly more dangerous and 1 am wonder ing if it would not be possible for your board to announce a decision in regard to the pending wage matter. At least would it not be possible for i your board, if it has reached no final ] conclusions relative to these vital matters, tentatively to agree upon a settlement or even partial settle

 SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-
 Members of the national commit
 tee, which meets tomorrow after
 noon to complete the temporary
 roll of delegates to the Democratic
 convention, anticipate a lively
 time if Senator James A. Reed of
 Missouri appears and tries to
 have himself placed on the list.
 The Missouri Senator, who is
 bitter opponet of the League of
 Nations covenant and who has
 opposed many of the administra-
 ton measures in the senate, ar
 rived here late today to fight his
 own battle for recognition as
 delegate.
 Although the senator claims tC have been elected a delegate from the Fifth Missouri district. his name does not appear on the list of delegates made up by the secretary of the na- tional committee for submission to the committee tomorrow.
 The Missouri state convention some time ago rejected the selection oi Reed as delegate by the fifth dis trict democrats. According to the records of the national committee here. the fifth district did not select a delegate to fill his place during tho life of the state convention but re- elected Reed at subsequent meet ing.
 According to Executive Secretary Hollister of the national committee. il is claimed Reeds election was illegal and for that reason his name was not placed on the temporary roll for ap prOval by the national committee. Il was also said by MT. Hollister that James T. Bradshaw of Kansas City an alternate, would be recognized as Senator Reeds substitute. The other regular delegate from the fifth dis trict is Jos B.

 NEW YORK, June 24. - With the breaking of seals today on indictments charging 14 concerns and 30 individuals with fraud, government agents let it become known that they had begun a na- ton wide round up of alleged wildcat companies who are said to have swindIed the public out of millions within the last few months.
 The defendants oil compa- nies, brokerage concerns and their officers and salesmen-are charged with having used the
 mails to defraud. They are aileg- sentatlons and in some eases paid impressive dividends on re- ceipts of stock sales.
 Tn one case. the indictments charg- ed. the statesmen disposing of stock of the Crown oil company, falsely represented that a son of former President Roosevelt was an officer of the company. which it was claimed would soon rival the Standard Oil company in volume of business.
 Make Huge Profit
 Shares of this company, according to one of the indictments, were sold to investors in Chicago at $2.25 a share and to "evade the western blue sky law" later were disposed of here at $3 after costing brokers only 1-2 cents share.
 The companies involved are the Ranger Oil company, w. P. Williams Oil company, Great Western Petro leum corporation and Grown Oil com pany.
 Brokerage concerns indicted were Stickney, Rawlinson and Colcough o Boston. and Curtis, Packer and com pany. United Securities company H. Kent Holmes and company, H Morgan Pollock and company Thompson, James and company Crossman. Sherman and company George A Lamb and company, E. M Fuller and company and Greenbaun Digelow and Greenbaum. nearly al of them with headquarters in thi: city.

 While the enforcement question remained the outstanding issue. with the factions as far apart as the poles. interest in other platform questions was stimulated by the presence Of Senator Glass of Virginia, who is known to be fully advised as to the Presidents view on what the party should do on the League of Nations issue and similar questions.
