he wanted us, Mr.. Yellowley and me,

HARDING IS SURE
HIS NEW PLAN WILL
AVERT BIG STRIKE
Government to Back Labor

to Enforce Its DEGREES.

Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
nina Worldly

WASHINGTON. Oct 10 Copy.
righD Harding has de-
termlned to make tho United States
Railroad Labor Board so important
that when 1t hands down n decision
saying either side in a controversy Is
wrong. the fun weight or public
opinion will bring the necessary pres
sure to bear to compel obedience to
the mandate OF the board.
This was the original idea OF Con-
gress in creating the board, and the
first challenge To the power OF the
board has developed Executive in
fluence has saved what might other
wise have been steady collapse OF
the whole structure erected by Con
gress. Mr.. Harding has made It clear
that he wants the Railway Labo,
Board TO go ahead and call both sides
to task.
Mr.: Harding's course will unuues-
tionably prevent II strike. for neither
tho railroads nor the labor leaders
would be able to compete successfully
against formal decision as to who
was right or wrong. Both sides pri-
vately will admit that. The President
feels that the United States Railroad
Labor Board should act sternly with
nj ia.

| hood chiefs 10 come to Chicago l.,
talk things over Informally, and makes
1t clear that he wishes the board Will
also call In promptly officials OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad who recently
| defied the decision of the board.
Mr.. Harding believes the Railwny )
Labor Board will succeed only II II
plays fair with both sides. and that
1t must be lust as ready to chastise
q big institution like the Pennsyl-
van!a Railroad as IA railway union
Mr.. Harding isn't showing any par
| tial,ty TO either side-he isn't actu-
ally interfering in the details OF the
| controversy. lie keeps on pointing
out that Congress has created the
Labor Board to settle disputes and
that both sides must toe the mark
and obey that board. Mr.. Harding
has confidence In the integrity. hon

very important industries which were
