STRIKE OPPOSED
BY LABOR HEADS
Plea for Acceptance Of
Railroad Labor Boards
Award Is Made
DECISION RESTS
ON REFERENDUM
Chicago Outlaws Voted
Unanimously to Reject
the Award

Chicago, July 24.--The order for a
nation wide referendum by railway EN-
ployes on the wage award of the feder-
al labor board was completed to-day,
with strong plea against strike,
at a meeting of the executives of the
railroad brotherhoods, before they de-
parted
"The labor board" the order states,
'is the highest court of appeal in this
controversy. No higher tribunal is
created by the transportation act, and
its decision must either be accepted or
rejected without further negotiation.
Although the award was much less
than the employees should have been
awarded, must less than they We're en-
tilted to, and although they are, and
have right to be, disappointed with
the amount of increase in wages grant
ed. more than So per cent of them have
agreed through their representatives to
accept the award
An appeal is made to the federated
shop crafts, which constitute not
more than - per cent Of the total
employees of the railroads" to vote in
support of the action of the majority
The order recites the history of rail
road wage disputes, beginning before
the passage of the Adamson law.
The Chicago yardmen's association
represented by 5000 members includ
ing 20 delegates selected to represent
the various outlaw" organizations OF
the country, voted unanimously to re
ject the wage award because it "con.
tanned no provision of the seniority
rights" of the men who struck last
April
"The strike could be settled in IS
| hours If the roads would concede that
one point, John Grunau, president OF
| the association, said.

FOR A FINAL VICTORY
ARE CONSIDERED GOOD
SAILING OF MAYFLOWER
VAS COMlNEMORATED
Pageant Inaugurated Four Days Cele-
bration at Southampton,
England.

Southampton, England, July "a
Scenes attending the departure sou
wears ago of that little band of adven
turers known to history as the Pilgrim
fathers were re-enacted to-day in a
pageant inaugurating four days ceie-
bration of the tercentenary OF the sail
ing of the Mayfower. The pageant was
preceded by luncheon, given by the
lord mayor. There were 400 guests at
the luncheon, including prominent per-
sons in American and British official
life and the heads of various Anglo
American societies.
Desirious of reminding the world OF
her proud claim to fame as the original
port of embarkation of the founders
OF the American commonwealth, South
ampton is vying with Plymouth in
commemorating the event. BY staging
tc-day'sI pageant, which Is entitled
"John Alden's Choice" at the ancient
quay side, near the west gate through
which the Pilgrims left because no
roadway existed and garbing the per-
formers in puritanical dress, an at
tempt was made to have the reproduc-
ton as historically faithful as possible
The gate has remained through the in
tervening centuries as veritabe mon
ument to the Pilgrim voyagers.
Outstanding events Of American his
tory, including the Boston tea party,
Lincoln making hN address at Gettys-
burg and American intervention in the
recent World war, were depicted in the
pageant, which will be repeated on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

ADMITTED CRIME FOR
WHICH FATHER DIED
After Attending Evangelistic Services
Arnell Love, Ontario Farmer,
Goes to Jail for Seven
Year-old Murder.

Toronto, Ontario, July 24.-Self-con-
fessed murderer of his mother-a crime
for which his father was hanged seven
years ago-Arnel Love, 80, a CeylOn,
Ontario, farmer, iss in Jail here to-
day.
During evangelistic services in his
home town Love went forward and de-
clared that he had clubbed his mother
to death because she had reprimanded
him for keeping bad company" He
was angered, he said, and killed her
with stick Of wood. He hid the
body in a cellar, where it was found
laterH
Young Love was one of the princi-
pal witnesses against his father, Henry
Love. who was convicted by jury and
hanged at Owen Sound, Ontario, for
the crime Although the evidence
against him had been mostly circum'
stantial, the father made what was be-
lieved to be a confession of his guilt
on the scaffold.
The son grew into manhood, a pros
porous farmer, and the tragedy of his
life apparently was buried in the obliv-
ion Of the past until he attended the
evangelistic service.
On advice of the evangelist, Love
gave himself up to the police. who are
investigating his story In the mean
time. the Young farmer, apparently
greatly relieved, languishes in jail in
different to his fate.
