tion of the White House, so persistent
were the reports of renewed trouble.
Officials were inclined to believe
that any general railroad strike which
might have been contemplated would
be forestalled by news that the de-
cision might soon be expected. The
chief cause for complaint on the part
Of the leaders of the workers had been
that the board was imposing unneces-
sary delay.
Their insistencc that something be
done Immediately to end the menace
of outlaw strikes caused President
Wilson to urge the board to expedite
its findings. To-day's announcement of
the board was interpreted as recog-
milton of the gravity Of the situation.
men are pending before the board, and
have been since early April. They
total about 81 900 100000 annually. 1t
is believed here that the board will
grant substantial increases, but not in
the amount asked by the workers.
One of the first results of an award
according to officials, will be re-
quest from the railroads for higher
freight rates to enable them to pay the
men. The request for a 25 per cent
increase now pending did not include
provision for higher rates of pay. The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
required by law to fix freight rates at
point to insure per cent re-
turn to the railroads.
A billion dollar larger labor bill
would mean an additional 25 per cent
increase in freight rates, it was stated
Railroad officials assert the amount
which they have already asked is only
adequate to pay higher operating costs
and to provide for needed requirements
and for additions and extensions of
facilities.

Governor Holcomb conducted an in

garage, power house and armory. The
Governor explained to the men that
the police needed help in case of an

of law and order it was necessary to
maintain adequate protection.
Arrangements have been completed
the Governor announced later at
Mayor William Sandland's Office,
whereby the rest of the State Guard
will begin to mobilize within five min
utes if the 800 men on duty prove in
sufficient. Governor Holcomb assured
the Mayor that the entire state and its
troops were behind Waterbury in the
interests of law and order.
Threats of violence were said to-
night to have followed Albine Ribas

belongings from the wrecked tenement
to another part of the city. The police
tonight said they had been warned
that new danger lay ahead of the

For Harding, Says

clares After Interviews
With Many of the Leaders

All factions of the Republican party
which supported the men who were
defeated by Senator Harding for the
Presidential nomination are now en-
Enthusiastically working for the success

Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, here
yesterday
This decla ration was made after the
chairman had interviewed numerous
leaders of the party from points as

"All Republicans" said Chairman
Hays, who worked for different candi-
dates before the convention are now
vying with each other to advance the
party's cause and to support the great
nominees selected by the convention.
We now have one great organization,
militant, loyal and efficient, and we
arc on our way in high speed to the
great victory which means so much for
the country.
"The unprecedented interest of Re-
publicans everywhere is simply the re-
tfectlon of their conviction that Re-
publican success is a national neces-
sity."
Several Of the callers on Mr.. Hays
yesterday urged that Senator Harding
make a tour of the Far West. One
of them, Elmer Dover, of Washington,
after his talk with Chairman Hays,
said that Harding was at dsad-
vantage on the Pacific Coast because
of his lack of acquaintance.

Senator Harding made a trip out West,
and especially to the Pacific Coast

Others who called on Chairman Hays
were United States Senator Medill Nc

developed yesterday, to seize control
OF the Republican state machine with
the aid Of United States Senate,

The Barnes Wadsworth forces. ac

ner that will surprise those who have
heard Barnes rail against the direct

thlng to do is for little group OF
leaders to get together and select the
candidates, and then let the voters
mark crosses alongside their names.

Barnes is counting on Senate,

PITTSBURGH, June 25.-G. H. Sines,
vice president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, discussing to-day
the forthcoming awar>,. of the Railroad
Labor Board, expressed belief that
there will be no strike.
On account of disciplinary measures
taken in the Pittsburgh district in the
outlaw strike. he said, there is no
likelihood of serious trouble here. un-
less the decision Of the Labor Board
is unsatisfactory to the unions, which,
he declared, is a far-fetched supposi-
ton.
Mr.. Sines wrote on June 10 to Albert
Phillips, A. c. Wharton. James For

the board, urging them to hurry their
decision and pointing out to them if

contention, Mr.. Thorne said the "book
value" of s20,60o, 100000 used by the
roads in computing the return was ex-
cessive by several billion dollars.
"ln other words" he said, 1--WE are
asked to consider the value of Ameri-
can railroads to be s3,000,0 900 900
greater than the total par value of all
their stocks and bonds outstanding in
the hands of the public
Mr.. Thorne said that in computing
the book value, the railroad managers
had not made any allowance for de-
probation, and that such a method Of
appraisal had been specifically re-
pudiated by the United States Supreme
Court He also said that it was pro-
posed by the roads to capitalize the
l46,000,000 acres of land granted to
the railroads by the government and
the State of Texas and to make the
public forever pay an annual tax to
the railroads on its present value, u
value which has cost them nothing"
The commission also was told that
the roads in computing their needs
rad made full allowance for all in
creased expenses. but had made NO
allowance whatsoever for increased
business.
Mr.. Thorne estimated that an in.
crease in freight revenues of 18 per
cent instead of 27.85 per cent asked
By the carriers would give the road:
sufficient income to meet the 6 per
cent standard return.
