HARDING'S REPLY
 IS BEING AWAITED
 BY OHIO SH0PMEN

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 5.-Heads of the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and the brotherhood of firenen and eng1nemen today were awaiting a. re- ply to a telegram they sent to Wash ington. last night, requesting Presi- dent Harding to meet with legislative representatives Of the brotherho oods so that tkey can lay before him the critical situation resulting from the shopmen'S strike.
 In a message to the representatives, authorizing them to discuss with the president questions at issue, it is pointed out that discomfort is rapidly growing among the membership of the three organizations and 1t is the belief of the leaders, that unless the strike is settled, the brotherhoods will inevitably be drawn into the contro- versy.
 Constant aggravation of conditions and the refusal of the railroad execu- tives to accept proposals of the pres fdent for compromise settlement of pending questions are making the sit uation infinitely more difficult to handle, the message said. The broth erhood chiefs declare they have re- ceieved hundreds of complaints from their members that demands have been made upon the men to take out locomotives and equipment which are in dangerous and unsafe condition. The men also claim that they have been subjected to abuse and assaulted by armed guards employed by the railroads

CONTRACT LET FOR
 MODEL AUTO ROAD

Detroit, Aug. 5.-The far-famed stretch. of model road known as the Ideal Section of the Lincoln Highway is, after nearly two years of pre- Hminary research and detailed work now under construction in Lake coun- ty, Indiana.
 The contracts for the construction were closed recently in Indianapolis when Stone & Webster, Inc, of Bos- ton, Mass, acting as agents for the Lincoln Highway Association, under took to build a section of road which will cost, with all appurtenances, ap- proxfmately $100,000 a mile, at a price of $S3,000 per mile to the state Of Indiana. Stone & Webster, under ceed, let the construction contract to J. c. O'Connor & Sons of Fort Wayne, Ind. Already the work on this stretch, which will perhaps be one of the most talked about and studied sections of highway in the world, is under way.
 In addition to the s33,000 per mile provided by the state, Lake county authorities have assured $25,000 from the county funds and steps have al- ready been taken by the County Coun- cil and Commissioners to provide this sum as the county's share. The extra expense of the section beyond the sum supplied by the state and coun- ty, which is equivalent to what the construction of the usual state speci- locations would cost, will be met by the Lincoln Highway Association, through a special fund provided by the United States Rubber Go. It is expected that the paving work will be completed by the end of October, many details in cluding the lighting installation; the identification of the right-of-way, etc, remaining for accomplishment next spring.

petration of serious injustice."
 OBrieu Scored

If the Court thinks that it nas the authority to make such an order then I recommend Il. It IS difficult to conceive of a more unwarranted abuse of legal pro- cess than this case presents. If MT. O'Brien were a member of the bar he might justly be held responsible for his acts as such to this Court, q least to the ex- tent of appearing before it and receiving its diSpleasure, but be- ing a layman and conducting his own case may make him im- mune from such a proceeding.
 It is possible that the only remedy that these respondents may have is a suit for damages, but it seems a reproach to the law if private individual like this petitioner can drag honor able attorneys. as I know these respondents to be. into this Court of justice, upon dts own process, upon charges wholly unsupport- ed by the evidence and subject them to the humiIiating ordeal of a public trial with all of its attending notoriety and damage and himself receive no public condemnation for his own out rageOuS conduct.
 Respectfully submitted, Dated at Stafford Springs, this 29th day of July, 1922.
