Rail Officials
Declare Strike

Philadelphia, June 22.-The railroad
strike apparently has been checked
here, although strike leaders say big
walkout will come Friday.
Railway officials say some strik-
ers returned to their posts today and
there was a slight improvement in
freight movement.
1t was reported that Governor
Sproul contemplates sending a re-
quest to the United States railroad
labor board asking an immediate de-
cision on the demands for increased
wages.
Large numbers of loaded coal cars
are accommodating in the anthracite
region. Coal dealers say coal held up
now because of lack of shipping fa-
cilities cannot be replaced as the
market is millions of tons behind.
Merchants in Pennsylvania cities
affected by the freight embargo are
pressing motor trucks into service.
Only foodstuffs are being thus trans
ported.

ing next week had reached the con.

Direct developments of the day
were confined to physical preparation
of the municipal auditorium for the
conventiom and the work was well
advanced, but there was much discus
sion in progress as to elements that
would be involved in shaping the par
ty platform and there was strikingly
little talk about candidates.
'Beer Planlx' Talked
Out of the talk of the day can:e an
increasing rumble of "wet" and dry
maneuvers. No definite statements
were obtainable from leaders who
have reached the scene of battle but
it was clearly indicated that they
looked forward to fight on the floor
of the convention over efforts to
make the democratic platform advo-
cate modification of the prohibition
enforcement law through "beer
plank
Some observers who had counted
noses on the resolutions committee
which will frame the tentative draft
of the platform said the "drys"
would control by sufficient margin
to insure defeat of any wet plank IN
the committee draft. 1t was added,
however that if the question of per-
mitting manufacture of mild bever-
ages was brought before the conven-
ton itself the result would be more
in doubt. Pending arrival of Senator
Glass of Virginia, slated to be chair
man of the committee, no direct steps
toward sounding sentiment in the con
vention on the issue appeared likely.
Little League Talk
The league of nations issue did not
fill a prominent place in talk among
the leaders today but possibility of
, struggle over Japanese exclusion was
suggested after Governor Stephens
letter to Secretary Colby declaring
the situation serious in California
had been read, coupled as it was with
the statement of Senator Pbelan OF
this state that the democrats should
deal with the oriental problem in
framing the platform. Comment on
this aspect of the situation did not in
dictate, however, that it was not oc-
cupying an important place in the
minds of leaders on the ground.
