Gould Settle All Points
i'll Dispute, Says Jewell
Cooperation Is Pledged
Suggests Meeting Be Held in
Advance Rather Than Af-
ter Conflict and Suffering

CHICAGO, March 31.-Railroad en-
ployees tonight laid q proposal before
President Harding for conference be-
tween labor and the railroads in an
attempt to settle the whole transporta-
tion problem now confronting the coun-
try, so far as labor is concerned
In telegram signed by B. NJ. Jewell,
president of the railway employees
department of the American Federation
of Labor, the Chief Executive was
asked to call a conference between the
railway executives and the labor unions
"tQ undertake to compose the differ
ences on all points in dispute" Mr..
Jewell declared the unions had "every
faith" that such a conference would be
productive of immediate salutary re-
suits" The text of the message fol-
lows in full:
Text of Telegram
1.-TWO million railroad workers and
their millions OF dependants are vitally
interested in your efforts to effect So
luton of the railroad problem. Obvious
ly no policy or program that is un-
acceptable to them will be productive
of the much-desired result of coop
Grafton, and accordingly, therefore, we
urge respectfully that we be given a
voice i'm the determination Of what is
to be done
"The first essential to peace snd or
derly progress in the transportation
industry is a speedy settlement of the
controversies between the carriers and
the railway employees over national
agreements and wages, and it is our
belief that you can bring this about by
the application of the principle laid
down by you in your inaugural address
when you said: Il had rather submit
our industrial controversies to the con-
ference table in advance than to the
settlement table after conflict and suf-
fering.
Cooperation Is Promised
Accordingly, we urge that you use
your executive influence to bring about
a conference between the railway ex
ecutives as they are organized ma
tionally and the railroad employees '1s
they are organized nationally to under
take to compose the differences on all
points in dispute. Such conference
is contemplated by the transportation
act and is in keeping with the spirit of
the times. We have every faith that
it will be productive of immediate
salutary results. The employees will
welcome it and cooperate with you in
every way to make it a comp lste sue
cess.
ave have constantly urged this
method of procedure as the best means
of avoiding the necessary delays and
expense incident to the submission of
matters in dispute to judicial determi-
nation by the Railroad Labor Board.
We prefer at all times to adjust points
of difference through mutual agree
ment with the railway executives. Be-
cause of the present abnormal condi-
tions we consider it essential in the
| interests of all concerned 20 conserve

Released From Sentences
on Their Good Behavior
U. S. Again Seeks Evader
Secretary of War Weeks In
dicates Renewed Effort
to Punish Army Fugitive

MOSBACH, Germany, March 81 (By
The Associated Press) Carl Ncuf and
Frank thinner were released from inn
prisonment here to-day. The sentences
of Neuf and thinner, both attached to
the American army of occupation and
under confinement here for their at
tempt to arrest Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, the American draft evader, have
been remitted by the Baden government.
The German authorities stated that
the release was effected at the request
Of the German Federal government
end that it was dependent upon the
good behavior of the two Americans.
AS both the Americans are, expected
to reach Coblenz tomorrow or Saturday,
where neither the Baden NOR the Fed
eral governments will have any au-
thority over them, the suspensions of
the sentences are regarded virtually as
pardons.
The release of Neuf and thinner has
aroused great interest in German cir
vles, and already, it is said, member
of the Nationalist party will make it
the basis of interpellations when the
Reichstag convenes after the Easter
recess
The action of the Baden government
in releasing the men was due to repre-
sentations made by Brigadier General
Henry T. Allen, commander of the
American occupational forces, to the
German government through member
of the American General Staff, who
went to Berlin last week and conferred
with the German government authori-
ties.
From The Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 31.-News of
the release from Jail of Frank Zim-
mer and Carl Neuf was cabled to-day
to Secretary of War Weeks by Brig
adler General Henry T. Allen, COM
manding the United States contingent
at Coblenz. Their release and return
to American army headquarters at
Coblenz were brought about by Gen
eral Allen, whose efforts had the COM
Dlned support of the American War
Department and the State Department.
Secretary Weeks was disinclined
to-day to make known how General
Allen brought about the release of the
two Americans. The War Secretary
had previously announced, however,
that the German government realized
no good purpose would be served by
unduly Furnishing the Americans, who
acted OH the theory that the capture
of the Philadelphia fugitive justified
the attempt to return him to the
Anne erican military area.
The release of the two Americans,
Secretary Weeks indicated, will be fol-
lowed by continuation of the efforts
of rhis government to regain posses
sion of Bergdoll. The return to Amer
lean jurisdiction of Bergdoll may be
accomplished through the intervention
of the British and Canadian govern
ments, whose passport regulations
were violated by the Philadelphia
Stacker gaining illegal possession of a
permit, which enabled him to reach
Germany on British ship

MYSTERY OF LIGHT
 ON MOUNTAIN SOLVED

ASHNI.LE, x. C., Dee li The mysterious light on Brown Mountain, in Burke County, which has puzzled scientists for several years, leading to many and varied theories as to it's origin, is a mystery no longer, if an explanation contained in the current publication of the American Meteoro- logical Society Bulletin has the cor rect solution.
 "Andean lightning" is the name of this phenomenon, according to the bulletin. "Andean lightning" says the report, lis the name given to very striking luminous discharge of cleo tricity seen over the crest of the Andes, in Chile. in a region where ordinarily thunderstorms are almost unknown The mountains appear to act as gigantic lightning rods, be- tween which and the clouds silent discharges take place on vast scale.

UNITED STATES SHOULD OFFER
 AIR SUBSIDIES

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA The United States would soon become foremost in the development of aero nautics if prizes or subsidies were offered by the government to inven- tors of new and improved flying de- vices and appliances in the view of officials of the Army Air Service
 Although America invented the airplane it has not made forward strides in commercial aviation to the same extent as many European coun- ! tries.
 "America is the mecca of the in- yento~," the Air Service points out | 'a ar official statement ",nd whnn it comes to inventive genius this country far surpasses any other country in the world.
 , "No stronger testimony of this fact is needed than the official Gazette of thc United States Patent Office The patcn, Ofri.o is continually swampcd with work. and it is one of the few government eowrmon,8 that has been soif-supporting
 "Onco in a while there is listed in the official Gazette or the Patent Or- rfcn some invention pertaining to air craft. hut as a general rule. such in ycntions are conspicuous hy their ab- scnca. The conclusion might be ar rived at that the cause for this state of affairs is attributed to the fact that the average American inventor has no great faith in the future of commercial aviation in this country that there would be no financial re- turn for his efforts to contrive i'm provements in aircraft.
 { "Let this country, however. offer subsidies or prizes to inventors as a reward for their efforts along aern- nautical lines, and il is safe to say that it will not be long before the ! United States will become tho first and foremost in the world of aero nautics. a place that rightfully be- longs to her by virtue of the fact that America is the birthplace of the [ airplane"
 Officials of the Air Service are ! hopeful that Americans will take part

Because more frequently seen in the Andes than elsewhere the term An dcan u.a.ing' has been adopted.
 ".."c.nr the same phenomenon ..s been observed in the Swiss Alps md the mountains of North Carolina. ..'at.ud accounts of it's appearance in the region of Brown Mountain, sevont, miles from Blowing Rock, in the summers of 1917 and 1918, were given. According to Dr. Walter kuoche. for a number of years direc- tor of the Weather Bureau of Chile, these great silent brush discharges of electricity extend from the crest of the Cordilleras far out to sea. They almost always appear in a clear sky upon the approach of nightfall. As regards seasons, the phenomenon be- gins in the late spring and is last seen in the fall. The frequency of discharge. says pr. Knoche, seems in general to decrease or increase with distance from the Equator.
 "In the discussion the occurrence of such mountain brush discharges in the White Mountains was men toned"
