Cincinnati. o.. June l6.-A rail-
road strike on or about July Is
now regarded by labor leaders here
as an inevitable unless the govern
ment interyenes to prevent II.
Revision by the United States Ia.
Dor board of the recently announced
wage scales for railroad shop crafts
and maintenance of way employees Is
the only thing that can prevent a
paralyzing transportation tle-up. a
railroad union spokesman told the
United Press today.
Furthermore, II was stated, the
unions would insist on assurances
that the labor board would require
the railroads to agree to full and
free" conferences on adjustment of
disputes over wages and working
conditions.
Some of the union leaders here
representing the eleven shop crafts
and maintenance of way workers be-
lieve President Harding will avert
the strike at the last moment by
using his influence to have the labor
board hold up the pay reduction
which were ordered July 1.
With the unions voting overwhelm-
ingly for a strike, according to an
nouncement from union headquart-
ers here, the leaders are formally
and publicly on record as refusing
to accept responsibility for the
strike.
Prepare fer Strike.
Preparations were under way here
today for issuing the strike order as
soon as the ballots of the 1,200,00O
workers are in and counted. June
30 is the last day for return OF
ballots. Many of them are already
counted.
A formal statement, issued last
night by the union executives after
long conference said in effect:
That the union workers were vot-
ing in an Overwhelming majority
in favor of refusal to work for a
wage which is inadequate for the
support of their wives and children.
That responsibility for the strike
If It occurs, rests on the railroad
labor board.
That the board "has accepted the
position of the railroads and has
treated labor as a commodity whose
price should be determined by con
ditions in an unregulated labor
market
That the board has nullified the
transportation acts labor protecting
clauses.
That it has reduced workers tC
an impossible wage basis.
That the union leaders will mo-
stand in the way of strike If the
workers show a majority in favol
of it.

Neither Walter s. Ward, son of the
head of the Ward Baking Company,
under $4,000 bond on the charge Of
shooting and killing Clarence Peters
near Kensico Reservoir last May, nor
his lawyer made any apparent effort
yesterday to confirm the suspicion of
postoffice inspectors and narcotic
agents that they had in custody the
mysterious "Charlie Ross" mentioned
by Ward in his blackmail story.
The prisoner, booked as Charles Rog-
ers, was arrested with eleven others
in the Longacre Hotel raid of Thurs
day night. Detectives Of the Pinker-
ton agency, said to be employed by the
Ward family, were reported yesterday
to be satisfied that Rogers is "Ross."
Rogers makes fiat denial to the sus-

Was Kidnapped From Rooms

Eluding p olice Capture

Leslie Harrington, Chicago broker,
released by the courts there in $4,000
bond on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud in an alleged get-rich- quick
project, caused the arrest here yester-
day of Charles ]. Dryden, a private
detective, on charges of having kid
naped him, held him prisoner for three
days and blackmailing him for $11, ,460
Both Harrington and Dryden were
locked up at headquarters yesterday
while the Chicago police were COM
muncated with. Chicago replied to
release Harrington, as his bond had
been accepted. Harrington is regis
tered at an uptown hotel. Dryden gives
his address as "a West Sixty ninth

According to the story told by Har-

rington and his attorney, John +.
Couts, of 46 Cedar Street, the broker
first came TO New York from Chicago
on February 15. The New York police
at that time had a telegram from Chi
cago asking for the arrest of Harring-
ton on the conspiracy to defraud
charge. The police heard that Har-
rington was headed this way and on
February 15 had Gordon established
at the Grand Central station. Har-
rington slipped through.
He then rented an apartment at 500
West f27th Street, where he charges he
was visited April 13 by Dryden and
three other men. Harrington told Po-
lice Sergeant Patrick Sheridan of head
quarters, yesterday, the three men drew
revolvers and said they were private
detectives and that they knew Harring-
ton was fugitive from Chicago. They
demanded $4,000 to refrain from deliv-
ering Harrington to the New York po-
lice, 1t is charged.
Harrington said he had only $1,46O
which he gave the men, who then kid
naped him and took him to the Hotel
France in Forty-ninth Street, near
until April 16, when they demanded
that he visit his attorney and arrange
to have him get $4,000 more and de-
liver it to them.
Paid $1o,000 More
This it is alleged was paid. Later
Harrington returned to Chicago and
surrendered. He was released and his
case was set for September 20.
Then Harrington decided to return
to New York and get even with Dry
den. Yesterday he started for the
Belmont racetrack. He went to the
Pennsylvania Station and was waiting
for his train, he charges, when Dryden
approached him and demanded more
money. Harrington said he then began
to make much noise. He called depot
attendants and detectives rushed for
ward. Dryden was surrounded.

MANDATE QUESTION SETTLED.

Final confirmation by the Council
of the League of Nations Of the
Syrian and Palestine mandates makes
possible the termination of much no.
litical uncertainty in those regions and
among interested groups throughout
the woN,i. Palestine. in particular
has been the focus OF 60 many d-
vergent opinions that any reasonable
settlement Of it's problems cannot but
benefit its citizens
Two questions which have Interested
outsiders as well as the present resi-
dents of the latter country are the
status of the Jews and the administra-
ton of the historic spots which are
deemed sacred by the adherents OF
many sects and at least three religions.
This second question is not yet set
tied, for while the terms of the agree
ment regarding the custody of the
holy places are to be made public i'm
mediately, the personnel of the COM
mission which will have this matter
in charge will be determined later
and it's operation will be necessarily
delayed on that account.

4 REMARKABLE GOVERNOR.

No wonder the Republican party
leaders In New York look TO Governor
Miller as a candidate for President
who would impart some hope for sue
cess at the Presidential election of
1924. He has made a good governor
in many respects, and now there is
evidence that he is willing to sacrifice
his personal means rather than make
showing of financial inefficiency in
his administration.
1t has been learned this week that
Governor Miller found the appropria-
ton for the contingent expenses of
the executive department. as made by
the Legislature, too small for COW
ering legitimate demands. So he went
right along with the business, and
met the deficiency, about $4,000, out
of his private purse. His salary as
governor is $4,000 year.
Here we have a record practically
without parallel. a governor who sac
rificed four-fifths of his years salary
rather than put it up to the Legis-
lature TO make deficiency appro-
priation for his official department
Just consider what proportion of his
salary he might have to sacrifice
under similar conditions, should ne be
elected President.
No wonder Governor Miller is un-
willing to accept the denomination
which his party leaders are now urg-
ing upon him. The Office Of governor
is too costly an honor for him, ever
with the alluring prospect of higher
honors it might offer. For tern
in the Presidency Of the United State!
might plunge him into sad financia
bankruptcy.

COAL NECESSITIES.

said: "The commission will come In

that he Ia waiting for full test OF the
ability OF tho operators TO produce

He need not wait much longer. II
appears that few operators In Illinois,

effort to open their mines, and 1t is
dubious whether the effort TO be made
In the Pittsburg region and Weet Vir-
ginia will succeed. Even II something

ton there Is not the slightest chance
of getting out more anthracite TIL the
