Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee were firm in the opinion that
the labor board would prove an Ell
fective weapon to deal with the
present railway crisis. For that rea-
son. Senator Cummins committee de-
ferred action on proposals for con-
gressional inquiry into the strike.
The postoffice department today
sent orders to its inspectors and rail-
way mail officials throu ghout the
country for prompt reports on any
obstruction or delay of the mails. The
department of justice would be
asked for immediate prosecutions I'M
der statutes governing mail trans
portation, the telegram stated.
Delay in formulating a program
for government action under the
Lever Food Control act, to meet the
strike crisis was said by department
Of justice officials to be due to de-
sire for fuller knowledge as to the
agencies that caused the unauthor-
ICED walkouts. Many official reports
from strike centers have indicated
activity of the Industrial Workers of
railway situation and, officials said
that it was proposed to determine
finally whether this or any other or
gapization was carrying out a pro-
gram that would bring 1t within
reach of federal statutes. Not only,
1t was said, would such activity be
dealt with summarily If the facts
warranted legal proceedings, but
steps would be taken to prevent ex-
tension of the unrest among railway
men to any other industry.
In discussing the attitude of the gov
eminent in the crisis Mr.. Palmer said
that if federal action was taken the
government would not enter the con-
troversy as a supporter of either the
strikers or the railroad companies. Its
action. he said. would be governed en-
tirely by its responsibility to the people
by whom the government was created
and whom it was to serve"
1t was indicated again today that the
department might employ criminal stat
utes if it decided On legal proceedings.
