cussing at their meeting last night
n dispatch from Kansas City, print
ed in The Argus, to the effect that
100 employees of the Rock Island
lines had volunteered their services
10 take trains through to Kansas
City regardless of the strike, came
TO the conclusion that the story
must have originated in the sending
of telegram to Mr. Gompers Sun
day. Oct. 16, worded by A F.. Hutch
ings, chairman of the executive
committee OF the Kansas City con
vention, but signed by Adjutant
Stauduhar.
They can account in no other
way for the origin Of a story which
was wrongly construed to involve
members of the Legion in an at
tempt to defy union labor. although
the dispatch printed by The Argus
made no such charge.
Mr.. Hutchings was in Rock Is
land Sunday. comforting with Ad-
jutant Stadduhar, and other men,
bers of Rock Island post, and Mr..
HutchiDgs worded the following
dispatch, which the adjutant signed,
and wired to Mr. Gompers who was
then in New York City:
STORY going out that strike is to
be called Oct. 80, to kill American
Legion convention. Oct. 81. Rail
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-10-20

way men in our posts believe with
US that date of strike order should
be changed Immediately to Nov. s.
out Of Difference to ex-service men.
To this message, Mr.. Gompers.
who fs now in Washington, respond
ed last night as follows:
Telegram received. AL
though / was not previously
advised as to the time when
railroad strike would take ef-
feet, | am confident the date
for its Inauguration had abso-
lutely no connection with the
American Legion convention.
/ will communicate your mes
sage to the chiefs of the rail-
road organizations"
It was ascertained at the meeting
of the post last night that no mem
Der of the post, in or out of the
railroad service. had any informa-
ton whatever regarding the alleged
offer Of Rock Island men to man
trains to Kansas City in case the
strike should eventualize, and the
post officially disclaims any con-
nection with the matter whatever
Legion members here incline to the
opinion that some publicity man
may have seen Mr.. Stauduhar's
message to Mr.. Gompers about
railway men in our posts" and
