RAIL UNION SUED
FOR LOSS OF JOB
SWitchman Claims Damages
Charging Brotherhood
Forced Him Out of Work.
RE the Associated Press

By the .ASS0claIe0 ffesS.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. June 27.-A
lawsuit, the final outcome of which
may have a far-reaching effect upon
the settlement of labor controversies,
was filed in the circuit court here, it
was learned today, William FELTON,, a
former employe of the Southern rail-
road. suing the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen for damages in the sum of
$1,000 for the loss of his position.
The suit involves two different ques-
tions which have never been deter
mined in Tennessee courts, and which
will be of wide interest to labor,
both union and non-uniOn, and of Spe-
cial interest to employers of labor.
The first question is whether or not a
non-union laborer who has been dis
charged from his position at the in
stance of union labor has any remedy
at law. and the second is whether or
not an incorporated labor organization
may be sued for monetary damages
resulting from the loss of the position.
Wns southern Switchman.
FELTON, alleges that he is a former
employe of the Southern Railway
Company. having been working as a
switchman. His declaration alleges
that he worked for the company for
six years. and earned a daily wage.
at the time Of his discharge. of s6:4s.
He charges that he lost his position
following demand upon his en-
ployer for his removal by his fellow
workmen. members of the trainmen's S
union. which demand WAS backed up
by threat to strike and a refusal
to work with him. II is charged that
his discharge was the result of con-
Spiracy on the part of the unioniSts,
and resulted in his damage in the sum
of the amount sued for.
If the courts should uphold the
claims of the plaintiff and award him
Il judgment. against the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen. such verdict
would establish a precedent in this
state which would have a widespread
effect on the closed shop question.
which is. just at this time, the basis
of many labor troubles.

PARLEY ON
IRISH PEACE

De Valera Meets Lloyd George
Tomorrow Afternoon in
Downing Street.
By WILLIAM l.. MALLABAR.
International News Service.

LONDON, July 13.-Final plans
for the. conference tomorrow be-
tween Eamon de Valera, Presi-
dent of the Irish republic, and
Premier Lloyd George were COM
ing Of the Irish delegation at noon,
De Valera exchanged messages
with downing street regarding to-
morrow's arrangements.
MEET At s:30 r. NJ. "A
Official announcement was made at
s:3o p. m. today that Premier Lloyd
George and de Valera will confer at
10 Downing street. the premier's Off
Cial residence, tomorrow afternoon.
beginning at 4:3o o'clock.
De Valera spent today conferring
with Sim Fein and English political
leaders.
The Daily Telegraph warns against
undue optimism, pointing out that
the Dublin conferences between the
Sim Fein and the Southern Ireland
Unionists were successful because all
concerned carefully avoided anything
definite on Ulster.
So far there is no sign OF a compro-
mise between Dublin and Ulster. on
the contrary. Ronald MacNeill. NJ. p.
and Ulster leader. said he was sure
that the London peace pariey would
fail. owing to De Vslera's insistence
upon a republic. ...r
IF England gives the Sim Fein
complete independence l see nothing
for IL but for Ulster to fortify her
frontiers and prepare for. civil war"
said MacNeill. so far as the con-
ference concerns Ulster, her position
is that It has nothing TO do with the
northern province.
''As for De Valera, II is certain he
would not be allowed to negotiate ex.
cept at the risk OF his life on any basis
but that of complete independence,
and that is out of the question. There
fore, while ] am anxious for Irish
peace, / am without hope.
''It would have been better 10 i
conference had never beea proposed,
but instead. more troops had been
sent into ireland. The present atmos-
phere only misleads pnh.ic op'ninr. e.

able TO comprehend the meaning Of

Japan, Italy, and China have
thus far failed to make formal
reply to President Harding's dis
armament proposals, 1t was Of
ficially announced at the State
Department today. Officials indi-
Gated, however, that they have as
surances that these nations will
soon make formal acceptance of
the invitation, however.
READY FOR NEXT STEf.
Secretary of State Hughes con
ferred with the President TODAY. AMI
II is understood that they dismissed
the next move in the negotiations,
which will probably be the issuance
of formal Invitations TO the "oufsr.
ence. This step will be taken i'm
mediately upon receipt of formal
acceptance from the three nItloTs
which have thus far failed to make
reply.
Interest in Harding's conferences
centered today i'm the reaction cx.
pected from the allies to official iati
nations here that the conference
might lead to the establishment OF
an Association of Nations.
Although IL is. stated in ofsicia,
circles that the Administration would
be very happy IL the Association OF
Nations should be born out of tho
disarmament conference, IL was
rather plainly indicated that this
proposal will not be thrust upon the
allies as one Of the tasks of the pro.
posed parley, but It may be an out
growth.
SMALL NATIONS PEEvED.
Administration leaders we're today
confronted with the problem of paci
flying nations which have not been in
vited to the conference, but IL was
indicated that the President will not
consider enlargement of the confer
ence at this time, holding that toe
large representation would simply
confuse the work and delay II. Sug'
gestions made by the British Domin.
ion premiers that a preliminary con
ference be held at which the questions
of the Pacific and the East be dis
cussed did not meet with favor here
Administration leaders were OF the
opinion that the dominion premiers
while having a right 20 a voice in tn
proposed conference, should express
their views through the British repre-,
sentative, and that the qualification
Of the views of Great Britain and
her dominions is a matter which
should be worked out In the dominion
conference now going on.
Officials viewed with distinct salts
faction reports that the official accept
ance of Japan Is on the way. There
has been little doubt here as to the
action the Tokyo government would
eventually take. but II Is freely ad
nnitted that Japan finds itself in q
somewhat embarrassing situation as a
result Of the developments OF the last
two weeks, and n slight delay In sc
cepting would not have been surpris
ing.
