LEWIS PLEDGES AID
Says Coal Miners Will Help-Chair-
man Hooper is Hopeful of Peace
BY Fall.

Cincinnati. June 19.-Formal no
tice was served last night on the Rail-
road Labor Board by the chiefs of III
railroad unions of their intention TO
90 through with a strike in event one
is authorized by the 1,225,0O work
ers whose wages are to be reduced on
July 1st, under the boards ruling.
Coupled apparently with the action
of the rail union leaders was state
ment that the railroad workers have
no alternative except to fight, made
by John L. Lewis, leader of the strlk-
inc coal miners. who will meet with
the rail union leaders tomorrow to
consider Joint strike action. He also
pledged the miners aid to the rail
men, but declined to state definitely
what all might result from joint ac-
tiOn.
The notice sent to the Railroad La
Dor Board in the form of letter re-
iterated the rail union leaders atti-
tude on the threatened walkout which
was first definitely asserted in their
statement issued here. Thursday
night. The previous statement also
included the declaration that an over
whelming vote was being cast for the
walkout I'm their letter to the board
the rail men said:
"When there occurs miscarriage
of Justice of such colossal and perma-
nent injury to railway labor as your
decision will bring about the only
means OF remedy which the injured
parties have is to refuse to accept your
decisions. This procedure is perfectly
legal. While it should be used only
as a last resort. our membership may
decide it to be fully justified by your
denial of elementary and long-estab-
lished rights and by the seriousness of
the situation which you have created.
Your decisions have been submitted to
a strike vote of our members and we
are awaiting the results of their ac-
tion and advise you accordingly.
The presidents of the rail unions
said in their letter to the Labor Board
that they had done everything to avoid
a strike, pointed out that no appeal
was possible from the boards decis-
ions, and reStated that the unions
contention was that the transportation
law required a living wage for em-
ployes at the bottom of the scale OF
occupations, with higher rates Tor
other workmen, according to their
skill, hazard of employment, respOn-
sibility. training and experience.

DOING MUCH
FOR SPORTS
Bass Season Open and Local
Club Ready For 1t
viii Stock Cameron Run With 10000
TrOut-AIso to Investigate Accotink
and POhick Creeks

The Alexandria Rod and Gun Club
met in the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce Thursday evening with a
good attendance and many matters
of interest to the sportsmen Of the
city were discussed. The opening of
the bass season was of particular in
terest and the following paragraphs
give a summary of the matters con-
sidered at this meeting.
Many new names were submitted
70 the executive committee for mem
bership. A letter was read from the
Sportsman Digest recognizing the AS
sociation and endorsing its principles.
The association was also requested
to submit any news from this section
which would be of interest to sDorts-
men. Word was received from Honor
able W. Mcdonald Lee. Commissioner
of Game and Inland Fisheries. rela-
tive to supplying small mouth bass
for stocking local streams in this
vicinity. The Commissioner advised
that the state hatchery was not yet
in a position to furnish the necessary
frv for this purpose.
The following extract from this let
ter would probably be of interest to
local spOrtSmen:
"The opening date of the bass sea-
son June 18th, in the counties east of
the Blue Ridge Mountains was not
changed bv the last General Assem-
bly,. The Hoover Bill changing the
date to July lst. failed to pass the
House Many of the bass fishermen
were under the impression that this
bill was enacted into law and that
the season would open June 18th. un-
der the old law, and then be closed
June 18th to July lst under the
Hoover Act, however, this is not the
case and the season opens June 18th
and closes March 18th as heretofore"
Considerable effort has been eXpend-
cd by the Association to endeavor to
have a bill now befire Congress pass
ed providing for Public Shooting
Grounds and Game Sanctuarys Let
terS from L. :. Senator's Swanson and
Glass and Representative r. Walton
Moore were read in reference to the
above bill, stating that when same
came I'D before Congress it would re-
ceive their consideration.
II was decided in order that there
might not be any misunderstanding
of the motives of the Alexandria Rod
and Gun Club that local net fisher
men should be invited to attend the
next regular meeting which will be
held on July Goth.

GRAY ARMY OF
SIXTY ONE HAS
Won RICHMOND
Capital of Memories" Re-
occupied by Confederate
Hosts For Last Time
REUNION TOMORROW
CITY Devotes Itself to Pleasant Task
of Entertaining $4,000 Veterans
and Their Friends.

Richmond, Va, June 19.-The flag
of the Confederate States of America
is again raised in Richmond. Sixty
years ago it flew from every Flagstaff
to-day it is fat against the buildings
and is fanked by the Stars and
Stripes.
This is accepted as the style of dec
Grating and when the army OF 5000
Confederate veterans shall have ar
rived it will find the whole a riot OF
the colors they have, from Washing
tons time, fought under.
The van of this army has arrived
and the report is that during the day
II solid trains will have unloaded. 1t
will be the largest yet assembled and
will be the last to meet in this, the
Confederate capitol of memories" as
Governor +. Lee Trinkle expressed 1t
in his message of welcome to Virginia.
Every thing has been made as easy
as possible for the veterans to come,
for before it again becomes Rich
mond's turn to omen her doors TO them
this once magnificent army OF 5000
will have gone on that final reunion.
In the lobbies of the hotels today
the talk is of "rebeIs" and yankees"
"reminiscences have started the "old
fellows" (their own phraseology) to
an erect shoulder and firm tread. They
have come from Texas by the train
lead. Mississippi's quota is on the
way. Louisiana has a trainload or
more getting close. Floridans have
arrived in numbers, principally by
the way Of the McAlpin in New York.
They have come, they say, that thew
might once again march to Dixie"
and "Maryland" and Just talk it over.
The conquered are occupying Rich
mond again with the flag of the COM
mon country at the peak.
Those 100000 youngsters of 1865
have dwindled TO 5000 men, whose
ages average four-score. Their navy,
once counting 5000 men, could not
now muster 300.
One Of the matters that will be
urged by the reunion will be the re-
nroval by the Federal Government OF
the stigma attaching to the 1876 naval
,ridshipmen who resigned in 1861 from
I the Naval Academy. TO these lads,
! for their devotion to the Southland,
the Union Government attached the
disgrace of "dishonorably dismissed, ,
while 264 RESERVATIONS were accepted.
Among those dismissed was Franklin
Ruchanon. of Maryland. and manv OF
the sons of those who fought the fight
and kept the faith in the World War
were sons Of those "diseraced Ameri-
cans. 1t seems to the people who
viii talk about the subject that "the
war is over.

DAY BY DAY

The controversy between army and
navy officials in Hawaii which threat
ened to disrupt social activities for a
time and which arose over differ
ence of opinion as to who is the rank
ING officer on the islands has been
temporarily suspended by the War
Department, according to an an
nouncement by Secretary of War
Weeks.
Rear Admiral Edward Simpson, the
naval commander at Pearl Harbor,
is now recognized as the senior Off
Ger and this decision of the War De-
partment will accord Rear Admiral
Simpson whatever social prestige as
may accrue from the decision of Sec
retary Weeks.
This merely means that Admiral
Simpson or his superior. Secretary of
the Navy DENLY, who is paying visit
to the islands, will be allowed to sit
at the right of Governor Harrington
at all social functions during the
presence in Hawaii of the Secretary
of the Navy. The armistice which
compels Major General Charles P.
Summerall to relinquish temporarily
the place of honor, according TO Sec
retary Weeks, is matter Of cOur-
teSy 10 the Secretary of the Navy.
This arrangement does not settle
the standing controversy between the
army and naval commanders at the
Hawaii post. Secretary Weeks saying
that the matter must be settled by the
Attorney General who has the matter
under consideration.
IT is the belief of officers Of the air
service who witnessed q successful
trial of the helicopter held near here
the other day by its inventor, Henry
Berliner that redoubled efforts will
be put forth to perfect the machine to
the point where it viii fly as high and
as fast as an aeroplane.
Under the close scrutiny of army
and navy air officers, Berliner, on
three separate occasions, manipulated
the levers Of the helicopter which
raised itself seven feet straight up
from the ground and then poised
there. motionless. going neither for
ward nor backward, upward nor
downward
Not content with this successful
demonstration Of his latest invention,
Berliner took his machine on flight
around the track at College Park,
Maryland, nroving that the apparatus
that gave the machine its upward lift
did not interfere with its forward mo-
tion.
