elect Harding returned to Miami .'om
the Cocolobo fishing grounds this aft

than an hour before it was brought
to the gaff.
The yacht Shadow, on which the
party made the trip, ran into Miami
IN time to permit Mr.. Harding to play
a game of golf in the afternoon at
the Miami beach links. He was a
guest this evening at a farewell din
ner given by former Gov. Winfield T.
Durbin of Indiana, and he spent the
night in a Miami beach cottage turned
over to the party by Carl G.. Fisher,
proprietor of several Miami beach ho-
tells.
The president elects return trip to
st. Augustine will begin tomorrow
morning. He will probably go as far
as Fort Lauderdale by motor, and
after game of golf there will board
the houseboat Victoria. which is due
to reach st. Augustine next Monday
He expects to make short stops at
Palm Beach and Ormond.

Speak for All.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.---Seven indepen-
dent employees organizations, despite
the opposition of the railroad brother
hoods affiliated with the American
Federal ton of Labor, We're today ad-
mitted as parties to the hearing on
rules and working conditions before
the railroad labor board. The inde-
pendents will have full opportunity to
present testimony covering their con-
tentions for the boards consideratio
in rendering a decision on the case
The boards decision was hailed as
distinct victory for the independents
by their officers. Opposition to al
lowing the seven organizations to par
ticipate in the hearing was voiced in
the employees opening statement sew
eral weeks ago by B. NJ Jewell pres
ident of the railway employees depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor. Mr.. Jewell contended that the
brotherhoods represented the en-
ployes as whole and asked from the
board the right to negotiate agree
ments in the name of all employees.
Otficers of the Independent organ
izations characterized the brother
hoods contention as an attempt to be
the "czar of the employees" They de-
clared 10000 men We're represented
in their organizations and denied the
right of the brotherhoods to speak for
these men.
The boards resolution states that
since the several organizations are
materially and directly interested in
the matter and their interests neces-
sarily affected by any decision tn,
board may make, it is ordered that all
such organizations not heretofore for
mally made participants shall be all
lowed to intervene by filing a written
application stating their positions.

board today was given over to obiec-

Secretary Baker, Pershing and
LeJeune Favor Plan as
Suggested.
(RY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The return
from Flanders field of the body of an
unidentified American soldier for intern

one of the wartime commanders of the

In a letter read to the house military
committee considering a resolution for
this purpose. Secretary Baker said he
could conceive of no more fitting use of
the amphitheatre than to place there the
body of a soldier whose name and iden-
tity are lost. but who will typify and
represent the imperishable part of the
sacrifice which he and his comrades
made for their country and their coun-

Predicting that ultimately the Airing

which would be "a national tribute to
one great aggregated value of our army

Appearing before the committee in
person. General Pershing approved the
proposal as fitting tribute to the other
Americans who fell in the great war. He
suggested that next memorial day he Sc
