of plans for tomorrow's meeting Of

made.
Mr. Cradle reiterated his statement,
made In Chicago yesterday. that the
outlook for settlement Of the diner
ences between the men and railroads
appeared bright, due to the abolish
ment by the roads of their alleged
practice of compelling maintenance
men to perform the duties of striking
shopmen.. A few alleged violations
remain to be investigated, however.
he said. These instances will be dis
cussed at tomorrow's conferepce.
Another subject for discussion Will
be the unauthorized strike of several
thousand maintenance men in vari-
Gus parts of the country. Whether
punishment in the form of expulsion
will be meted out to the insurgents
was not revealed. Mr.. Cradle said.
however, that the entire question
would be discussed in detail.

State, Department Finds
mo Basis for Charge of
r Dishonesty"
ASKED TO RETURN TO RIO
Will Take Charge of American
Participation in Fair-0thers
to Join Him.

The State Department announced
today that Investigation of charges
against D.. C. Collier, commissioner
general Of the United States to the
Brazilian centennial exposition, had
disclosed no basis for any charge OF
dishonesty or Of moral turpitude." Mr..
Collier has been directed to return to
Rio de Janerio and take charge of the
American participation in the exposi-
ton.
The charge arose from a controversy
within the membership of the commits
sion and had to do with the manner
in which funds appropriated by Con-
gress for the American participation
were being expended by Mr.. Collier and
his associates. The exact nature of
the charges has never been made pub
lie by the State Department, and to-
days announcement was only the fol-
lowing brief statement:

ferred against d. c. Collier. commits
sioner general of the United States to

tablished, and there appears to be no
basis for any charge of dishonesty or
Of moral turpitude. Mr.. Collier will
proceed at once to Rio de Janeiro TO
take charge of the participation of
the United States in the exposition"
Following the announcement, it
was said at the headquarters of the
commission that Mr.. Collier planned
to leave Washington tonight for New
York. and will sail Saturday for
Brazil, where he is expected to re-
main until after the exposition. He
declined to comment upon the State
Department announcement, caying il
spoke for itself.

operation the President asked, it was
pointed out by officials.
The nine governors who have not
yet replied were expected to send in
their responses within the next

oenize that conditions in some of the
states made necessary full .consulta-
tion by the governors with their ad-
visers before they could give definite
answers.
Most of the operators who came to
Washington to participate in the set

dent Harding. but which failed. had

today bearing with them the Presi-
dents invitation to reopen the mines
John L. Lewis. chief of the United
Mine Workers and leader in the
strike, was preparing to leave Wash
ington during the day after having
been in Washington continuously Tor
nearly month in conferences with
government officials and with the
operators.
''The mine workers attitude Is un-
changed" said Mr.. Lewis before leav-
ing Our people are determined to
continue the strike until the principle
of collective bargaining and past
procedure in the industry are recog-
nized.
Our ranks are unbroken and will
continue so. The threat of military
operation will not alter the princi-
plies at stake nor bring any salts
factory results to the suffering pub
lic."
ressien Ketepr'nG that TO the mipers peae union %
might now call out the pumpmen
and maintenance workers guarding
the idle mines in the union districts,
Mr.. Lewis said:
VIII BE Law-AbidinE.
1.-THE miners will continue to act in
a law-abiding manner, but under no
circumstances will any of our main
tenance men continue to work with
strikebreakers or in mines whose
tipples are fanked with machine
guns or ar rtillery units"
Mr.. Lewis described the present
strike as TIE "severest struggle in
which the labor movement had ever
engaged" considering the number Of
the English mine workers last year
had only held out fourteen weeks
while in the United States the union
has now been conducting q strike for
sixteen weeks. Another parallel sug-
gested was also to be found in the
fact that the English workers had
been demanding a national wage
agreement, as are the Americans, but
that when they succumbed they ac-
cepted again district settlements, and
this, he said, put the miners back
ffty years in England"
