HARDING SIGNS
ARMY BILL BUT
ASKS CHANGES
Says 1t Will Be Impossible
To Reduce Force By Oct.
lst To 100000 Men
SOLDIERS MAY RESIGN
President Declares u. S. Must
Respect Its Obligations
To Men Who Enlisted

WASHINGTON. June 80. - Presi-
dent Harding informed congress to-
| day, while he had signed the army
appropriation bill with its provision
for a reduction of the regular army
to 10000 men By next October, it
must be necessary to ask for a modi-
fication of the measure later to avoid
embarrassment to the secretary of
war.
The executive declared in a spe-
cial message sent to bot2 the senate
and the house that summary dismis-
sal from the army of men who had
enlisted for longer period than Oc-
tober l would seem to involve re-
pudiation of moral obligation by the
government which would have its ef-
feet upon the morale of the army and
possibly influence enlistments in the
future.
The nature of the notifications
which might be asked for later was
not disclosed. nor did the president
pXpla n how it was proposed to meet
the moral obligations to the men and
at the same time carry out the direc-
tion of congress to reduce the force
bv some seventy thousand men in the
next three Is7nths.
He did say, however. that every
effort will be made to meet the re-
quirement of the congress at the
earliest possible day"
Secretary Weeks, in discussing the
bill, said that if the war department
| succeeded in meeting the limitations
imposed by congress. some thirty
thousand civilian employees of the
army besides the seventy thousand
enlisted men would be thrown on the
| labor market He added that the wal
, department still hoped to be able to
avoid the summary dismissal of any
enlisted men in reducing the army
and that for the present no enlisted
men would be discharged against
their wishes.
The war secretary explained that
an opportunity would be given en-
! listed men in the service who desire
J to leave TO tender their designations
| For the next few weeks, Secretary
Weeks added. only routine and re
| quested d;.I harges would be issued.
In signing the bill, President Hard
ing was understood to have followed
a course regarded by his advisers as
the only practicable one in view o
the insistence OF both the house ant
! senate that the army be reduced "a

short time remaining before the enc

LABOR CHIEFS
WILL DISCUSS
WAGE SLASHES
Railway Union Leaders Will
Take Up Question Today
AT Chicago Meeting
STRIKE, NOT EXPECTED

There Is Nothing Alarm

STRIKE. NOT EXPECTED

CHICAGO, June 30.-Hundreds of
railway union leaders from all parts
of the country gathered here tonight
in preparation for a series of meet
ings tomorrow which will take up the
acceptance or rejection of the wage
reductions recently ordered by the
United States railroad labor board
and which are effective tomorrow.
Votes on the proposition have been
tions involved and it has been unoffi-
cially reported that these, in some
cases, show a majority against the ac-
ceptance of the cuts.
THE stationary engineers ano o>l-
ers have voted "a per cent strong
against the Acceptance of the wage
cut" declared Timothy Healy, inter
national president of the organization.
There is a strong strike feeling In
many of the organizations" he added.
There will be no nationwide strike
unless the men are forced into it,"
said B. NJ Jewell. president of the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor. Our men will
accept any reasonable adjustment,
whether ordered by the labor board or
proposed by railway managements.
They are not going to do anything
rash or unreasonable. They have all
been studying the situation and what
ever decision they come TO must be
based on an accurate knowledge of
conditions"
There is nothing TO be alarmed
over in the situation regarding the
wage reductions ordered by the labor
board" said W. S. Carter. president
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen. The decision to accept or
reject the wage reduction made by the
labor board is up to the men, and the
men alone can make such a decision. -
l.. j. Luhrsen, president of the
American Train Dispatchers' Associ-
alton, said that his organization had
not taken a vote on the wage reduc.
tioh and had not been asked TO. ITO
the members of our organization il
has seemed to be simply question OF
obeying the law as declared by the
labor board" he said.
/ T. &C. Cashen, president of the
Switchmens Union of North America
said that his organization has taken
no vote on the wage. reductions. 1--WE
are not looking for any trouble" he
declared. THE rank and file of our
organization is taking a level-headed
view of the labor boards decision
They will do what is right"
The union leaders probably will be
in session for several days. In addi
tion to representatives of che engi
neers. firemen, conductors and train
men, there will be those of the switch
men and clerks. The executives in
session here, it was said, would rep
resent a total of more than 1,500, ,00(
railway employees.
A general walkout would not be fl
nally declared at the impending con
ference. Such an order would have
to be approved by referendum vote
/ of the members of many unions which
would require from 10 to 80 days.

waived or not respected"
This is only suggestion" Senator
Knox continued to the president
when he comes to settle the terms
of peace with Germany, that these
things should be taken care of. The
president may ignore the suggestions.
The status of affairs then may be
such when we come to negotiate that
treaty that we may be more lenient
with Germany; or we might require
more drastic terms"
Provisions of the resolution for hold
ing enemy alien property were ques'
toned by Senator McCumber, Repub'
lican of North Dakota. who asked
