 KANSAS CITY, Mo, oct. 29-Rain, recalling to mind similar days in France, greeted the American Le- gionaires, who arrived today to at tend the national convention of the legion which opens Monday.
 But the ties of friedship were stronger than mere physical comfort and on dozens of downtown street corners stood groups of khaki clad heroes oblivious to the downpur. liv- ing again the days of Chateau Thier- ry and the Argonne.
 E. Here and there in the groups were seen men leaning on clutches or canes. To them the tales of thrilling days brought back especial memories. and freouently pale faces would light up with animation as one or another would call to mind some feat of he roism performed by Tanks" Ere ouentv members of a group would crowd their way aside to give hug and a handshade to a new arrival.
 Particularly colorful was a western proun of former service men who wore high boots, sombreros and tlan- mel shirts of vivid hues. Each state delegation sought by means of simi- lar dress or ornament to make them selves distinctive.
 Tomorrow. the first of the noted foreign military men who will attend inc convention are to arrive. They arc general Diaz of Italy and Gen. Baron Jacques of Belgium. Elabo- rate welcoming ceremonies have been arranged.

 The Houston (Texas) chamber of commerce and w. c. Mum company, a corporation in the same city, brought the question before the com mission by complaining that the rail- roads which carried a carload of the masks from Camp Logan, were un- able to find specific rate charge covering the cost and consequently made the charge double first class and classified the masks as life say ing apparatus. The commission, pointing out that the masks were sent to Chicago for sale as souvenirs, concluded that the rate was twice as much as proper.

 Judge Anderson's comments on the evidence follows:
 Violate Sherman Act
 'T think there has been established here a combination in restraint of trade. in violation of the Sherman antitrust law, to limit production of coal shipped in interstate com merce from West Virginia and there fore it was a conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce. I think there is sufficient ground here to find. and I am compelled to find that the effort to unionize the West Virginia mines is an effort to monopolize the coal in the United States. I think that unless there is further vidence-mountain high-to change it, I some time will have to enjoin, temporarily or otherwise. a conspiracy to violate the sherman act. I think that under the facts and circumstances here that the ''check-off system Is unlawful and used for an unlawful purpose. g
 In the verified complaint submitted as a partAof the evidence statements made by miners and operators at wage conferences were recited in part as tending to prove that the wage agreements, including the check off, disclosed a conspiracy to exclude the West Virginia coal from the mar kets- The defense however. declared by affidavits of union officials that these excerpts does not fully disclose the facts. Further. the union off, cials denied any acts of conspiracy. asserting their oply purpose was to. improve wages and working condi- tions.
 The defense of the operators also made by affidavits. was that they had sought to discard the cheel-off but had been compelled through the Washington wage agreement and the biturninous coal commission that granted the wage award following the 1919 coal strike to maintain this sys- tenn. The Washington agreement. it was declared. Twas made with the sanction and approval of the United States fuel administration" and the government became a party to the agreement.

 Negotiations were carried on be- tween the majority and the minority looking to ar agreement for a day for the final vote. Later, the Dem ocratic leaders estimated that the bin might be passed by Wednesday or Thursday Some senators on the majority side through the vote would come by Tuesday while there were other estimates that it might be de- layed until Saturday.
 We have now broken the back Of the movement io force through this bill without proper considera- rfou." Senator Simmons of North Carolina. Democrat.
 Only two amendments were dis posed of today. Under one change adopted on motion of Senator Reed, Democrat. Missouri. income tax re-
 
 by direction of either house of con- xress. Under existing law they are opened for inspection only on orders of the president.
 Senator Reed tocay launched his fight for the soldiers bonus, which he has proposed shall be paid out of funds obtained by continuing the excess profits tax. He declared his h the bonus from the profits of the war profiteers.-
 ~T am only taking the ftinds.' he said. turning to the Republicans, --that you propose to throw away and leave in the hands of the profiteers You can put this money in the hands of the soldiers and not adversely affect the fiscal policy of the gov ernment That answers all arguments raised against the bbonus by th' presidents lette-."

In a statement of his view on the evidence presented Judge Anderson declared his belief that a combina ton to restrain trade in violation of the sherman antitrust act had been established by complainant. the Borderland Coal company. He also interpreted the evidence as showing the check off system by which the operators collect union dues by with holding the money from miners wages was unlawful and that the unions effort to organize the West Virginia field was an effort to mo- nopolize the coal industry.
 In making this statement. Judge Anderson said he would keep his mind open for possible change of his views after hearing further evidence at final trial and he expressed the intention to defer issuance of any order under final hearing.
 Meanwhile. however. he said ef- forts to unionize the West Virginia field should be stopped, and he called for a decision by Mir. Lewis on this question.
 Twice he called on MT. Lewis and after conferences with counsel MT. Lewis declared: 'T decline to sur render" This statement came from Mr. Lewis after he had started to ssry "we have a constitutional right to organizen and had been inter rupted by Judge Anderson calling Tor his decision.
 Binding on All Unions While Mr. Lewis and his counsel were conferring over tke decision attorneys for Indiana coal operators sought to learn from Judge Anderson whether they should discontinue the | check off and the court answered: | T say you continue it at your own | peril" The operators attorneys | said they feared a strike If they 1 stopped the check off.
 Any order issued. Judge Anderson | indicated. would be binding on all | operators and union men througn m the country. In directing the complain ant to make all Indiana operators defendants, the judge said:

RAIL WAY LABOR
 BOARD r ORBIDS FUTURE STRIKES
Republican A. p. Leased wlre1


 CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The United States railroad labor board today, in effect, forbade railroad union labor from striking without the boards permission and declared that all strikers who violated the order would be elassed as outlaws who had voluntarily removed themselves from the protection of the trans portation act.
 The labor board, after detailing the decision of both sides to abide by the law, says these facts render it unnecessary for the board to make any further odrers on or about this matter and move it to congratulate the parties directly interested, and the public, most vitally and pro- foundly interested. on this return to industrial peace, triumph of the reign of law and the escape from this national disaster.
 But at this time. the board deems 1t expedient and proper to make its rulings and position on some of the points involved so clear that no grounds for any nlss- understanding can hereafter exist.
 First, when any changes of wages, contracts or rules previously iil effect are contemplated or pro posed by either party, conference
 
 transportation act and by rules or decisions of procedure promulgated by the board, and where agree raents are not reached. the dispute must be brought before this board and no action taken or change made until authorized by the board.
 Second. the ordering or author izing of a strike against decision number 147 (the July l wage cut) of this board is a violation of that decision. The board desires to point out such overt acts by either party tending to and threatening an Interruption of the transportation lines, the peaceful and uninterrupted ! operation of which are so absolutely necessary to the peace, prosperity and safety of the entire people, are in themselves, even when they dc not culminate in a stoppage of traf- l fic, a cause and source of great | injury and damage.
 ''The board further points out fol l the consideration of employees in ! terested that when such action does ! result in a strike the organ so act | ing has forfeited its rights and the rights of its members in and to tho ! provisions and benefits of all con- 1 tracts heretofore existing, and tho 1 employees so striking have volun- 1 tarily removed themselves from th' classes entitled to appeal to thi: board for relief and protection
