The ambassadors were unable to

He declared that Charles and his

which was due largely to Charles

some fifty servants.
Many of his servants now have
been ordered expelled from the

RAIL BOARD HAS
FULL BACKING
OF PRESIDENT
He Feels Strike Call
Is Result of Misun-
dersfanding.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1921.
Especial to The Argus

- O.
Washington, Oct q. = Every
move made at Chicago has been
with the knowledge and consent Of
the Harding administration Exec
utive influence has been behind the
scenes from the beginning. The
railroad labor board is carving out
to the letter the program agreed
upon by the administration and an.
nounced in these dispatches last
week.
In reality President Harding has
felt that the whole thing was an
unfortunate misunderstanding in
which mutual suspicion played
more OF part than did the actual
merits of the controversy. He has
refused to allow a quarrel over
imaginary issues to force a railroad
strike on a helpless public. Mr..
HardiAg went straight to the bot
tom of the case and found that the
railroad brotherhood leaders were
ordering a strike to make good
their original protest against a
second wage cut. That second cut
had not even been debated or the
facts presented to the labor board
So far as the merits of the case
were concerned, it was purely an
imaginary issue
Sees No Strike Cause.
The president has been hoping
for cut in freight rates. Decisions
have been announced making some
sweeping reductions. But the cx-
pfrf in nirh
Der is still pending. And the de-
cision in the grain case is really
an invitation to the coal shippers
and others to get busy and ask for
the same reductions. And the farm
bureau has already applied.
On the other hand, The president
has realized that the chief cause
of the mix-up was the tendency of
both the railroads and the labor
leaders to move too precipitately.
The first wage cut of last July had
not been accepted by the men when
the railroad executives threatened
another Dose But the administra-
ton believes it would be more tact
full, even from the railroad view
point, if sufficient time were per-
mftted to elapse SO that the effects
of the first wage cut could be di-
gested by the men, so that, to be
sure, they could make the necessary
adjustments in their household bud
gets The second wage cut may
or may not materialize. Why, asks
Mr.. Harding, have railroad strike
over something that may yet be-
come unnecessary.
To Postpone Rate Cutsi
There is a feeling in some quar-
ters that the further reductions in
freight rates now will be postpon-
ed too. In other words, the gov
ernment says in effect to the rail-
roads, Withhold your request for
a second wage cut until the first
is an accomplished fact and the
workers have made their adjust
mentS. Then We will see whether
the earnings of the roads between
