for burial warfare" and the "fght
to the finish" in the West Virginia

ing of the international board OF
the United Mine workers in 1910,
according to testimony today by A.
NJ. Belcher, attorney for the West

of guerilla warfare as the best
method" for the mine workers to
follow in their efforts to organize
the West Virginia field
Attorneys for the coal miners i'm
mediately branded this testimony
as absurd"
Records of conventions of the
United Mine Workers and of CON
ferences between members of this

keeping up the price of coal.
Counsel for the operators charged
that the mine workers had depart
ed from 'the union principles" and
entered into "socialistic and anar-
chistic" attacks upon the West Vir-

Fully conscious Of the dangers in

ahead preparing regulations which may
fall like a bombshell upon foreign eafs.
Foreign ships, having liquors aboard and
entering American territorial waters, run
the risk OF seizure by United States Gov
ernment agents.
Attorney General Daugherty said to-
day that no course was left open to him
but TO interpret the VoIsread law, as It
stands, and this statute clearly forbids
liquor laden ships entering American

tions. even for coaling purposes.

VOTE ON LOWER
WAGE SCHEDULE
Unions Which Have Rejected
Reduction Warned to Await
Action of All Affiliations.

CHICAGO, July S.-A monster referen-
DUN among 1,JOo, 600 railroad. workers
was under way today on the question Of
accepting the u per cent wage reductions
ordered July ! by the railroad labor
board. Eight Of the sixteen 'hig" rail
unions have already voted TO reject the
reductions, but they have been warned
by union leadersVo take no action pending
Il vote among the remaining affiliations.
The referendum was a compromise"
adopted at a meeting OF all railway union
leaders here for the past week. IL rep
resents the attitude adopted by the "big
four brothe-hoods who counselled a vote
of all rail union men bafore any definite
action was taken. The shop crafts
workers, controlling eight seperate or
ganizations, already have rejected the
award. Their contentioh, amounting 20
a strike threat, was oyerruled by the other
0rganiza tons.
A resolution adopted unanimously by
the eight shop craft unions, was sent
broadcast to all railroad shop workers
today warning against any "locsP' ac-
tiOns. While the shop workers are BIT
terly opposed to accepting the wage re
ductions, their leaders agreed with the
brotherhood presidents that the ran
their decision on acceptance Of the
award
The situation today amounted TO 4 vote
among the brOtherhoods and four other
affiliated unions on confirmation Of the
shop crafts rejection Of the award
should a majority Of these eight unions
vote a rejection, nationwide rail strike
looms for Sept. /. The vote, 1t was
announced, must be completed by that
date
The rail workers have demanded
promise from the railroads that no fur
ther encroachments viii be made on
either wages or working conditions
should the railroads give bond" to this
Effect, leaders predict the July / re-
duction will be accepted. If the railroads
refuse, even the most optimistic Of the
leaders admit that strike is Inevitable,
