of Shops From Lake
lard = Superintendent
Council Not Favorable
To the Idea

According to information given out
by J. f. Council, superintendent Of
the Lakeland division of the Atlantic
Coast Line. two nearby towns have
approached the Coast Line with prop
ositions for the removal of the shops
from Lakeland.
These towns, seeing in the present
disturbance here an argument for the
transplanting of the shops, are max
ing use of the opportunity to present
their claims TO the railroad. 1t is
pointed out that, taking the shops
from Lakeland would be moving
them away from the two hundred
strikers, to a presumably safer place
Other considerations are presented to
make the proposals attractive.
Mr.. Council, while he has agreed to
a conference with the representatives
Of one of these towns, does not at
present favor the removal of the
shops, which would be considerable
expense to the railroad and severe
blow to Lakeland, where Mr.. Council
has been a resident and property
owner for many years.
Mr.. Council believes that the prop
erty interests of the Coast Line should
be protected and that the officers, The
citizens generally and the union men
themselves, most of whom are prop
erty owners, should do all in their
power to keep down disturbances,
which may hurt the reputation of the
city, injure the kindly feeling of the
Coast Line for this city, and after all
have no effect on ending the strike.

They recognized that this form of
government retained the basic mer-
its of the Commission" form but diff
fered from it in that the members of
the commission do not assume the
actual executive management of the
various departments of the city but
delegate all administrative RESPONSE
bilities to the manager
They recognized That it is well fix
ed in the public mind that practically
all municipal shortcomings are char
Igeable to partisan politics, and that
a system of government that would
permit the elimination of this factor
and substitute for 1t methods of busi-
ness would commend itself to the

Status of the Rail Strike
A Both Sides To the
ontroversy M a k e
aims of Substantial
Gains

New York, July PA challenge to
President Harding and Ben w.
Hooper, chairman of the United
States Railroad Labor Board, to stpdy
the rail situation. not only from the
strikers standpoint, but from the
standpoint of the present employees
was issued by l.. +. LOree, president
of the Delaware and Hudson, and
chairman of the eastern railroad
presidents conference.
Mr.. Hooper is quoted as saying, 'as
might be expected the President seeks
to know the situation from every
angle-the RAILROADS, the strikers, the
board and the public" said Mr.. Loree.
"As I am advised neither the chair
man nor the labor board has ever
made any effort whatsoever to ascer-
tain the viewpoint of the emplOye.
The strikers point of view has been
developed at great length, but no eff
fort has been made to develop the
employees point of view"
Mr.. Loree's open espOusal of the
cause of the men who remained at
work or were hired since the shop
craft strike, took form when he called
a meeting today when of 40 roads of
the eastern conference to discuss
formation of company" unions on all
roads, to succeed the six striking
crafts which are affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
Strike Estimates
New York, July 24-The opening
of the fourth week of the railway
way unions estimating the walkout 65
to 80 per cent. effective in various
centers while spokesman for the
roads cut these figures in most cases
below 30 per cent. and in most cases
to less than 10 per cent. In these
estimates the unions refer to the
number of their men on strike, the
railroads to the number of old and
new men at work.
Union leaders are taking the move
ment to form company unions more
serious than at first. Picketss and
others charged with keeping a check
on doings in the shops have been
ordered to watch closely for any de-
velopment of rival unions.

Says German Interests
Are Behind Attacks
Made On Garvan By
the Harding Admins
tration

Washington, July 24.-The Chemical
Foundation and its president, Francis
F. Garvan alien property custodian,
who are being proceeded against by
the government for the return of the
German chemical patents, We're de
Tended today by Senator Underwood,
Alabama, minority leader, who criti-
cised President Harding and the ad-
ministration for the action taken
against them. Denying that there was
fraud, collusion or conspiracy in the
acquisition Of the German patents by
the Chemical Foundation, Senator I'm
derwood also commended the record
of a. Mitchell Palmer, former attorney
general and former alien property Gus
todian. in dealing with enemy alien
property German interests, Senator
Underwood said, are supporting the
administration course against the
Chemical Foundation in the hope, he
said of securing restitution of prop
erty and also damage claims for its
use.
Senator Underwoods statements
We're made in the course of an ad-
dress on a recent bill to create a COM
mission to press American claims
against Germany and Austria used en-
emy alien property seized for pay
ment. Senator Underwood opposed
the administration plan for a joint
claims commission or another treaty
to deal with the claims, declaring
there was no necessity for further ne
gotiations with Germany on the sub
/ jeCt.
Quoting from Mr.. Palmer's report
on enemy alien property, Mr.. Under
wood said that $25O,00U paid by the
Chemical Foundation in securing
rights to the 5000 German chemical
patents was adequate when the gov.
ernments right to use the patents was
| considered" That" said Mr.. Under
wood. "disposes of the statement that
there may be conspiracy in the alien
{ property custodian's office and in the
sale of the patents.
THE entire plan was devised and
perfected before Mr.. Garvan became
property custodian or had any thought
of being appointed to that office-the
entire plan was devised and perfected
| while Mr.. Palmer was alien property
custodian" said Mr.. Underwood, in de
nying that Mr.. Garvan sold the pat
ents to himself while alien property
