NEW YORK, Oct. IA fleet of
81 900 motor trucks or as many of
them as are found necessary. will be
mobilized in the event of a protracted
general railroad strike to bring New
York it's daily quota of 1900 carloads
of foodstuffs, Health Commissioner
Copeland announced today.
There are adequate supplies in stor-
age, he said, to ration the city through
a rail tie-up of three weeks, but i'm
portation of milk by trucks would
have to begin at once.
The coal situation, he said, was
somewhat less favorable. owing TO
the fact that coal companies have
scant storage space in which to build
up a reserve. Efforts are being made
to induce large consumers to fill their
bins at once so that the dealers may
stock up again for small consumers
before the date set for the strike.
Executives Meet
Members of the National Associa-
ton of Railway Executives were called
together here today to make plans
to meet the threatened railroad strike.
Many of the members were at the
meeting in Chicago on the question OF
an additional wage reduction, which
precipitated the strike order, but all
had left that city before the decision
to order a strike was announced.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 1.-THE pro-
posal of the public group of the rail-
road labor board to reduce freight
rates to prevent a railroad strike
would not prove feasible, Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Engineers, declared today
THE suggestion cannot be worked" !"
Mr.. Stone said "By the time reduc-
ton got to the consumer it would not
amount to one-half of one per cent.
The middleman will absorb all the
difference"
President Lee, of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, would make no
direct statement today on the feas-
'ibility of the plan.
Our understanding, and | believe,
that of the public also, was that the
II per cent wage reduction of last
July would be passed on to the pub
lic."

rying forward the general railroad
strike intended to tie up the nations

AWAITS
IDEAS OF EXECUTIVES
ON FREIGHT SLASH
(Rv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct, 17.-Official
Washington's interest in the impend-
ing national railway strikes centered
today in the reaction of railway ex-
ecutives and labor leaders to the pro-
posal of the public group of the rail
way labor board of zone feasible plan
to prevent the tie-up of the country S
transportation system.
In brief the board proposed:
l. That the railroads Immediately
put into effect freight reductions
equivalent 10 the wage reductions
authorized last July.
2. That requests for further wage
decreases be withdrawn.
3. That the employees withdraw their
strike order pending action or the
board upon any request Tor Iurtner
wage reductions which the carriers
subsequently might file.
Federal action in connection with
the strike had been confined up to
today to the conferences arranged by
President Harding between the public
group of the la Dor board and the inter
state commerce commission, the i'm
pression being that the president In
tended to leave the matter temporar
ily in the hands of the two agencies
created by law to supervise railroad
transportation.
Expect Hays Statement
There was some eXpecta ton, now
ever, of a statement from Postmaster
General Hays in reply to the an
nouncement that mail trains would moi
be given special consideration in CASE
the strike developed
Both Mr.. Hays and Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty have been busy, i
was learned, in surveying the situa
ton generally with a view to laying
reports before the cabinet at the regu
lar meeting tomorrow. Mr.. Daugh
erty's report would cover the author
ity of the federal government, 1t wa
said. and the proper procedure to b.
followed if a decision was reached t
utilize the power of the government
directly in the controversy, while tha
of Mr. Hays was to outline tentativ
plan for the maintenance of operation
of mail trains.

FRAzEE MAY ENTER
RACE FOR CHAIRMAN
OF G. 0. p. IN SIXTH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 17.-One
of the things that the Republicans OF
Indiana are looking forward to, is the
reorganization next spring of the Re-
publican state committee and already
some of the leaders are taking stock
in conditions that prevail in the var
ious congressional districts.
There will be numerous changes
among the members of the committee,
though in a number of districts the
present members will be candidates to
succeed themselves.
1t was said here Saturday that in
the sixth district. which now is rep
resented on the state committee by
Walter Bossert, of Liberty. that there
will be at least one other aspirant for
the place. This candidate will be Will
Frazee. of Rushville, it was authori-
tatively stated, though according to
information from the district Mr.. Fra
zee has not formally announced his
candidacy Bossert, it is said, may
ask for another term on the COM
mittee.
Richmond Republicans who were
asked today concerning the report
from Indianapolis said they had no
knowledge of the contemplated entry
in the contest for member of the State
committee of Will Frazee, Of Rush
Vile.
One Republican said: Possibly Mr..
FraZee will get into the contest,
though | never heard before that he
had any such aspirations. He is one
of the prominent Republicans of Rush
county and the sixth district and
would make splendid committeeman
for many reasons, chief of which is
the fact that he would bring harmony
10 the organization in the district
Here in Wayne county where there
/ has been considerable opposition tc
Bossert in the past, the selection oi
Mr.. Frazee would be very satisfactory
in my opinion

INDIANA RAIL HEADS
Think OUTSIDE men
CAN OPERATE ROADS
(Bv Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. II. - Execu-
tives of railroads operating in Indiana
expressed the belief today that should
a general strike of railroad men be
carried out, sufficient number of
men could be obtained from outside
the ranks of the railroad men to en-
able the roads to operate.
Opinion was also given that some OF
the railroad men would remain loyal
to their companies and not strike if
they could avoid it.
Between 10000 and $4,000 men en-
ployed on the Pennsylvania lines
throughout Indiana would be affected
by a general strike order, w. c.
Downing, general superintendent OF
the Pennsylvania lines in the state,
said. A considerably larger number
employed by the Big Four would be
affected, it was believed.
Sees Hidden Motive
B. A. Worthington, president of he
c. l, and W., expressed the opinion
that the threat of the leaders of the
railroad brotherhood to call general
strike really has behind it the desire
of the labor leaders to throw the roads
back into the hands of the federal
government, ''in the hope of getting
the big jobs for themselves"
He said he believed that should a
general strike be called most trains
would be moving as usual in a few
days. Should the strike be called, In
diana railroads will not be affected un
til the second day, Oct. 81.

POPE URGES PEACEFUL
SETTLEMENT In ERIN

Dundalk, Ireland. May 21.-Pope
Benedict has written to Cardinal
Logue, primate of Ireland, appealing
to both the English N Irish 10
abandon violence and proposing that
the Irish question be settled by a
body selected by the whole Irish a
ton. The ponuff sent Cardinal Logue
two million lire for the Irish White
Cross. The pope's communication
reads:
while we are filled with anxiety
in regard to all nations, we most es-
pecially are concerned about condi-
tons in Ireland. She is subjected to-
day to the indignity Of devastation as
slaughter.
BlameS It to War
There is assuredly no doubt that
harsh and cruel occurrences of this
kind are in great part attributable to
the recent war, for neither has suffi-
cient consideration been given to the
desires of nations nor have the fruits
of peace which peoples promised to
themselves been reaped. In the pub
lie strife which is taking place in
your country it is the deliberate coun
sci of the Holy See, a counsel consis-
tently acted upon up 10 the present
in similar circumstances, to take
sides with neither of the ~contending
parties.
