Mr.. Lewis wrote TO them frequently
and sent them money for their return
trip but he heard from his wife only
once and that was in 1920 and he never
learned whether his messages to her
had been delivered. Even after the ar
naistice was signed he was unsuccess-
full in his efforts TO locate her. The
letter received yesterday was brief,
merely mentioning the fact of his
wife's death and failing TO go into

FOGH GIVEN OVATION
America Takes French Hero To
Heart On Arrival In
Washington.

Washington.-The American Repub-
lie took Marshal Focb, Of France. sol
dier Of soldiers Of the great war, to
its heart on his arrival in the national
capital en- route to Kansas City as the
guest of his old comrades of the Amer
lean Legion at their annual conven-
tion. He was greeted with wild cheers
at the Union Station when his special
train came in from New York and a
roaring tribute followed him as he was
whirled swiftly to the New Willard
Hotel. where he spent the night.
The only ceremony that marked the
conclusion Of the great French sol.
dier's first day in America was his
formal induction at the station into
the American Legion itself. He was
made an honorary member Of the
George Washington Post, the ma.
tional chapter Of the Legion, some
time ago. and Lieutenant Commander
Fisk pinned on his breast the badge OF
membership as Marshal Foch stood In
the Presidents waiting room at Union
Station with General Pershing beside
him, French and American officers and
officials grouped about, boys of the
American Legion packed outside the
structure and thousands of Americans
waiting in the concourse outside the
station to cheer him as he emerged.
General Pershing fastened to Wash.
ington in advance Of the Marshal ar.
rlving scarcely half an hour before the
train bearing the French leader pulled
in. He was met by high officers of
the army and navy and OF the French
embassy and the State Department.
and headed the group standing at the
steps of the Marshal's private car
when the French general stepped
down.
In the Presidents room, the cere-
mony Of induction into the legion was
brief and the party then passed to the
station concourse. beyond which
loomed the Capital dome bathed in a
food of light with flaming beacon of
welcome blazing from the huge lantern
on top.

ACTION AT JOINT SESSION
Brotherhood Feared They Would Find
Full Force OF Administration
Against Them-code Mes-
ssaes Sent Out.

Chioago.-The rail strike scheduled
for October 80 was averted, when lead
ers Of the switchmen, trainmen, con
ductors. engineers and fremen at 9
joint meeting adopted resolutions with
drawing authorization Of a walkout
and officials OF the railroad telegraph
ers' organization announced they
would take similar action. These were
the only unions which had authorized
a strike.
The vote calling of the strike was
unanimous by organizations. w. G
Lee. president Of the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen. announced. The
official wording Of the resolution
adopted was that the strike be de
clared not effective"
The FIRST announcement Of the ex
ecutives' action was made by Mr. Lee
Rushing to the floor below the hotel
meeting room where dozens of news
paper reporters were congregated, he
smilingly shouted:
THE strike Is on. boysl"
All of the union men were smiling
as they came out and many Of them
jocularly pushed and showed each 9th
er down the stairs. To all queries
most Of them merely replied:
Its all settled"
A code word was sent to each gen
eral chairman Of the unions and he
in turn forwarded the orders to each
Of the subordinate officials under him
The vote in the individual unions
was unusually close. however, the fire

ments before agreeing to cancellation

said In some Of the groups the bal
lot was described as "the closest in

the differences were ironed out by the
different unions. however, and the final
showdown found all of them casting
their ballots for mo strike"
L. L. Sheppard, president of the
Order OF Railway Conductors, said
that the unions had decided to call
of the strike because Of 'the growing
public opinion that the strike would
be against the Labor Board and con
sequently the Government, and moi
against the railroads"
1T was evident also that the entire
Washington Administration was op
posed to us and that we have had
little chance of gaining our obiec
tives.T said Mr.. Sheppard.
I'VE called this strike to gain Ger
tain rights to which our men were
entitled" Mr.. Sheppard stated.
1T soon became evident, however
that the roads were succeeding in
their misleading propaganda to the
effect that we really would be strik
ing against the Government.
This railroad propaganda found its
way to the United States Railroad
Labor Board. This governmental
agency told us that 1t would look or
strike as against it and the Gov
ernment and not against the roads,
and that the full force of the Govern
meDt would be brought to bear against
us if we walked out Under such cir
cumstances there was nothing to do
but to annul our orders for the octo-
