Working Agreements, Not
Wages, Will Be Objective.

Chicago, July Awhile no plan of
action has been worked out by the
1900 general chairmen of the railway
unions in session here regarding the
wage cut which became effective July
first, formal statement is expected
today sStting forth railway, labor's at
titude toward the impending abroga-
ton of national working agreements.
The statement is expected to deal
chiefly with working rules on which
union labor leaders assert they will
not yield without struggle. Some of
the crafts, it is asserted, are more con-
cerned with retaining the working
rules than the wage scale.
Possibility of strike, according to
W. G. Lee of the trainmen and B. NJ.
Jewell of the railroad division of the
American Federation of Labor, is re-

.Drunk and Disorderly

Unique Sentences for Kentucky Miners Fast Make Com

Pineville. KY, July 4.-'Drunk

Verdicts something like this, rem
dered by the superintendent of coal
company at Black Mountain, fifty
miles up the Cumberland valley from
here, have cut trouble to a minimum,

Mine Superintendent Started 1t.
This scheme of punishment for
disorders at the camp was conceived
and carried out by A. w. Miller, the
superintendent of the company, ac-
cording to the Rev, Mr.. Reagan.
There had been considerable drinking,
shooting and other trouble in the
camp. The superintendent became
sold on the community program and
decided that if he could sell the en-
ployes of the company it would have
tendency to maintain quiet.
So when a man got drunk and

trouble he was brought before the
superintendent. Evidence was heard
and the decision of the superintend-
ent rendered. In every instance the
order was that the man should either
get out of camp at once or accept the
alternative of going to Sunday School
and morning and evening services for
a given number of Sundays.
The number varies, according to
Rev. Mr.. Reagan, with the superin-
tendent's idea of the SERIOUSNESS of
the offense.
Smooths Out Rows.
"Penalized'' men must report each
Monday morning to the superintend-
ent whether or not they went to
church. If they did not go they must
give a reason and the superintendent
is the Judge as to the validity of the
reason.
The result, according to Rev. Mr..
Reagan, has been that the camp is
rapidly becoming one of the most
orderly in the mountains, while the
Sunday school has more than 200
regular attendants and morning and
evening services are attended by from
200 to 800 persons.

Storms of Denunciation From
Gotham PuIpits Only Help.
100000 Marchers, Including
10000 Women, in Line.
MAYOR HYLAN WILL REVIEW
Entire Division Is Made Up of
Union Men.
Jersey City Also Stages Anti
Prohibition Demonstration.

New York. July 4.-Despite the
storm of denunciauon which thun-
dered from New York pulpits on sun
day, there was an atmosphere of
cheerfulness, even gayety in some
quarters, when the marchers began
gathering today for the anti-prohibi-
ton parade. 1t was the greatest orr
ganized protest against prohibition
since the dry law went into effect.
Col" Frank Drake, organizer OF
the parade, and Warren S. Fisher said
they expected 100000 to 100000 in
line. Mrs. Norton, grand marshal OF
the womens division. said there would
be 10, 600. or more women in line. A
feature of the women's PARTICIPATION
was that many came in automobiles
to take part. Some came as far away
as the Rocky mountains.
Dry Parade Failed.
The Rev. E. V. Corbett, known as
the wall street evangelist" attempted
to organize a dry parade to offset
the effort of the "wets," but the re-
sponse to his appeals was too meager'
so the plan was abandoned.
The weather was hot and sunsh1ny
and marchers began gathering pc
tween Blocker and ElSnth StIeSlS
early, despite the fact that the pro-
cession was not scheduled to move
into Fifth avenue until 1 o'clock IN
the afternoon.
Jersey City Also Marches.
A similar parade was planned for
Jersey City to protest against the
state prohibition law which recently
went into effect over the veto OF Gov
ernor Edwards Governor Edwards,
who is an implacable foe of prohibit
ton. promised to review the Jersey
CITY procession. Mayor Hylan prom
ised to be in the reviewing stand for
the New York City demonstration.
The New York parade was COM
posed of three sections. "Colonef
Drake said many professional men,
representatives of anti-prohibition as
sociations. war veterans and the Wo-
mems division would be included IN
the first section. ...

The third division will be nondescript
but was composed mainly of oppo-
nents of prohibition not affiliated
with any organization. There were
representatives of some fraternal Or
ganizatiOns in line.
DIR. WILDER F. Crafts, superinten-
dent of the International Reform bu-
reau, in a church sermon, character
lied the anti-prohibition paraders as
"anarchy" and '1aw breakers"
DR.. Frederick Brown Harris, of

the parade as one of "pent up pas
sions and poisonous propaganda"
