ORDERS DELAY IN
RAILROAD STRIKE
Both Sides to Appear at New
Hearing
PRESIDENT LEE Is DEFIANT
Texas Walkout Observation-Disclosures
Unions Of shopmen And Station
airy Firemen Vote To Join
General Strike.

Chicago.-The Government Friday
moved to prevent a railroad strike and
to enforce obedience by both unions
and roads of DEGREES of the United
States Labor Board, the Board formal
ly announcing that it had assumed full
Jurisdiction in the rail crisis and or
dering the workers not to strike pend
ing conference of union heads and
rail chiefs which it called for October
26. s1e.
A decision from this conference will
not be announced until after October,
the scheduled strike date, Board
members said, declaring that in this
way walkout would be averted
unless the unions defied the Boards
order not to strike pending ruling.
The action was taken following re-
ceipt from Washington of information
that every interested branch OF the
Government would back the Board in
its attempts to settle the rail Difficult
ties members declared.
While both carriers and unions
promptly announced they would COM
ply with the order citing them to
appear before the Board, w. G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, one of the organiza-
tons which has called strike, in
statement given out at Cleveland,
asked by what authority anyone could
compel man to work and pointed out
that the right to strike had been up
held by the United States Supreme
Court.
At the same time trainmen on the
International and Great Northern, a
Texas road, prepared to carry out
their plans to strike and the Main
tenance Of Way and Firemen's unions,
representing 100000 rail workers, an
nounced here that they would join the
proposed walkout October 80. These
two groups are part of the IL unions
numbering three-fourths of the ma
TONS rail employees, which had voted
to strike, but had not issued strike
call
Besides stepping into the breach be-
tween the carriers and the five unions
which have called strike-the train
meR,. the switchmen, the engineers,
the firemen and the conductors-the
Labor Board summarily ordered the
fremont and Gulf Railroad a 67-mile
line in Louisiana, to rescind its order
installing an open shop.
If the unions choose to carry
through strike plans which the Board
asked them to defer, members of the
Board said that the next move would
have to come from Washington, init
mating that action exhausted their at
tempts to furnish the teeth which
the transportation Act creating the
Board was said by many to lack. At
the same time it was pointed out that
the Transportation Act gives the
board power to cite the interested par
ties for alleged violation of it's rulings,
but provides no penalties for violation
of its DEGREES.

DECISION CUTS
UPPER S|LES|A
Germany Gets 20 Communes
and Poland 10
PROVIDES 15-YEAR REGIME
General Agreement Urged-Poles And
Germans Are To Keep Within
DomiciIes For Fifteen
Years.

Paris.-The decision of the Council
of the League of Nations on the Upper
Silesian question, just made public, di-
vides the plebiscite area into almost
equal parts between Poland and Ger
many, as to the number of communes,
and provides administrative machinery
for the gradual Inauguration of the
new regime over period of Is years.
The long-awaited boundary line, ac-
cording to an official communique, will
follow the Oder River to Niebetschau,
assigning % communes in this south
ern section to Germany and 10 to
Poland. The line is further traced in
detail by the names of villages, the
communique stating that in this more
northerly section Germany obtains 20
communes and Poland 81. North of
Lissau the frontier will follow the old
boundary line to the point where it
joins that already fixed between Ger
many and Poland.
In order to insure the continuity OF
PEACEFUL economic life in Upper Silesia
after the partition, the Council of Am
bassadors is urged to take measures
looking toward German and Polish
cooperation under the form of gen
eral agreement.
The administration of private rail
ways is left unchanged by the deci
sion, and as for the German railway
system, a system of common ex-
ploitation is to exist throughout the
Is years.
The German mark is designated as
the monetary standard of the area for
not more than Is years.
All Poles living in\ the German zone
and all Germans living in the Polish
zone are to keep their respective
domiciles over the Is years. All Poles
over Is years old living in the German
zone are to have two years in which
to choose their nationality.
The Silesian boundary, as decided.
by the Council of the League of Ma
tons, follows the River Oder from
Oderburg as far as Nibotschau, then
runs northeasterly in a circular line
as far as Hohenlinde; thence, run,
ming between Rossburg and Birken-
helm, it turns northwestward as far
as Lissau. Northwest of the latter
place it follows the old frontier of
the German Empire to a point where
the latter reaches the frontier al
ready established between Germany
and Poland under Article 81 of the
Treaty of Versailles.

Switzerland, 10000; Turkey, $4,000;

In considering problems connected

however, that the Washington con-

putting the army strength of any ma
ton for purposes Of discussion. Re-
serve systems, the extent to which
reserves have been organized for quick
mobilization and the degree Of train
ing they have received all would be
reviewed by technical experts.
In many countries some form of uni
versal military service obligation rests
upon the entire male population.
Japan, Italy, France, Greece, Czecho-
slovakia, Poland, Switzerland and
Spain all have in force such laws,
while among British colonies, South
Africa, New Zealand and Australia
have similar enactments.
One thing clearly established by
these army figures, military experts
said, was that the United States alone
among the victor nations in the war
seems to have completely demobilized.
The regular army today is little
stronger in numbers than it was be-
fore the mobilization in 1917. The
National Guard, due to reorganization
after the war, actually is weaker.

Be Used.

New York.-The nations fleet of
100000 motor cars is being pre-
pared for mobilization to transport
food in event of general railroad

United States go out on general
strike we are making preparations to

available trucks and even passenger
cars. a 9f
There are approximately 10000
trucks available for service. They can

RAIL WORKERS
AGAINST STRIKE
Action of Clerks Reduces Walk
outs Support
BACKBONE Is BROKEN
Labor Board May Delay Rules Deci-
sion Until After, October 80
Nine Vote To
Stick.
BACKBONE is BROKEN

Chicago. = The prospective rail
strike scheduled for October 80 was
limited to approximately one-fourth of
the nations railroad employees when
officials of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way and Steamship Clerks, Freight
Handlers, Express and Station EN-
ployes, representing 100000 men
voted not to authorize walkout by
their members for the time being.
This action increased the number of
major rail unions which have voted
not to strike to nine and the number
of railroad employees bound by such
action to about three-fourths of the
country's total of about 100000.
The vote was taken in meeting
which lasted several hours and in
which some of the officials at first
favored walkout October 80 in pro-
test of recent wage cuts. These Off
Gals finally swung over to no
strike-now" policy, but the question
of quitting work will be taken up
again after the Labor Board renders
decision on the rules and working con-
ditions questions now before it.
Tonight's action by the clerks left
the signalmen and the telegraphers
the only organization in the IL
STANDARD" rail unions which may join
the conductors, firemen, engineers,
men and switchmen in the strike they
have called.
!! The telegraphers tentatively have
aligned themselves with the "big five,"
but officials of this union said that
the decision might be changed before
the strike date arrives. The signal
men have not yet voted.
| While no officials announcement was
made by the Labor Board it was in
,timated by members that the decision
on rules and working conditions will
not be forthcoming until after Octo-
Der 80. the date set for the proposed
strike by the "big FIVE"
Members let it become known that
all decisions on questions on which
there might be strike will be with
held until after that date, explaining
that in that way it was hoped the
walkout would be averted as the men
have been ordered by the board not
to strike until after the hearing OF
rail and union chiefs which starts
/ Wednesday.
\ The board announced that it was
Iisummoning 1,400 general chairmen of
the unions affected as we'll as the pres
idents. The sessions will be open to
the public, and large attendance is
expected.
/ Railroad officials expressed the be-
lief that the backbone of the proposed
strike was broken when "a majority
of the standard unions, which control
most of the railroad employees, decided
not to strike October 80. Although a
strike would affect all train service
men, officials said that service would
not be impaired for more than a day
or two and that these men would be
quickly replaced. s
