alton association at a meeting held
by the directors at the chamber Of
commerce yesterday. Other Off
GERS are Frank A. Hubbell, vice
president; c. S. White, treasurer,
and M. L. Fox, secretary. Four
teen of the twenty newly elected
directors were present at the meet
ing, all sections of the middle val
ley being represented.
An executive committee with
power to act in case of lack of a
quorum of directors was chosen.
1t Is composed of the president,

lilo county; f. c. De Baca and
Charles Brown, representing San
doval county; c. 7. Brown and G.

The purpose of the association IS
to complete the preliminary WORK
necessary to comply with the pro-
visions Of the McNary bill, so that
when the bill passes in congress,
the middle Rio Grande reclama-
tion project can be submitted to
the reclamation service as a con-
crete problem. 1t is expected that
the project will be one of the firsf
to be started under the provisions
of the bill.
AS proposed, the project includes
the erection of two large storage
dams in the upper Rio Grande
valley. These will remove the flood
danger, lower the water table and
drain much of the swamp lands;
prevent river bank destruction.
provide ample water for irrigation
in dry seasons and remove the si'.
danger from the Elephant Butte
dam.

Will Not Attempt to Bring

Outline Plan for An
Agreement.
my The Associated press.)


Washington, June 29.-With
acceptances received from all the
principals in the bituminous and
anthracite coal strikes, both on
the operators and the miners
union side, official Washington
tonight began preparations for
the Saturday conference President
Harding has called to consider a
possible basis for resuming work
in the mine fields. Both sides
having accepted, question remain
ed on only two points: First, as
to the identity of the individuals
who would represent the employ
ers of the unionized bituminous
field; and, second, what would
be the administration's plan for
procedure after the meeting as
sembled.
At the commerce and labor de-
partments, where officials have
chiefly been occupied with the
strike settlement plan, it was
intimated that the union leaders
and the operators would be expect
ed to work out their own course
after the conference assembled.
President Harding was expected
to bring the groups together, but
his engagements call for him to
leave Washington Immediately
after, and it was expected that
Secretaries Davis and Hoover
would represent the government
in the immediate negotiations.
Emphasis was placed behind
the assertions in semi-official dis
cussion that the government did
not expect the meeting to bring
out a strike settlement itself, but
to recommend, if possible, to as
sociates and organizations repre-
sented by those present, a further
course which might be followed
and which might result in settle
ment.
John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
remained in Washington to at
tend the meeting and some score
of district presidents or acting
presidents of the union indicated
their intention to attend. The
gathering at the White House, it
was indicated. would be trans
ferred to other meeting rooms
later, and 1t was considered un-
likely that the meetings would be
public.

SAY
UNION MEN ARE
IGNORING LAWS
Issues Statement Saying
Carriers Cannot AcCede
to Demands Without De-
flying Government.

Chicago, June 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Press.) declaring that co
yield to the demands Of rallroad
labor organizations which have or
dered strikes would be a defiance
Of the United States railroad labor
board, the Association Of Railway
Executives tonight sent telegram
to b. M. Jewell, of the American
cede to demands contained in tel
egram received by them from Mr..
Jewell.
"You demand that we accept
your decision and reject that of the
labor board" the telegram stated
"You are clothed with none of the
power or authority Of organized
government. The labor board is n
creature Of the United States
statutes, Is a part Of the govern
ment to whom all good citizens holG
loyalty and allegiance, and in what
1t has done in the matter of which
you now are complaining has been
performing a function expressly
delegated to it by congress. To
submit now to your demands and to
reject the decision Of the labor
board would be to recognize your
power and authority as greater than
that Of the government.
"The consequences of the rejec-
ton of this constituted government
al authority and obedience to your
invisible and irresponsible power
would be to continue charge on
the producing and consuming pup
lie for transportation in excess OF
that which the government
through its labor board, has now
declared to be just and fair.
"This unjust burden shall not be
put upon the public by surrender
on our part to your threat of force.
"If the just authority of the gov
ernment Is to be successfully de-
fled and the government is to be
rendered helpless to protect its cit
izens In their peaceful and lawful
pursuits; IL patriotic and Loyal
obedience to government authority
is to be denied, the act and re-
sponsibility is to be yours. IT shaii
not be ours. If you strike 1t VIII
be against an order Of govern
mental tribunal--it will be strike
against the government OF the
limited States"
The telegram was signed by Il
Dewitt Cuylcr, chairman of the as
sociation Of railway executives.

JAP COUNCIL 5
D. K. IS GIVEN
To NAVAL PACT
Final Ratification of Treaty
Made at Washington
Arms Conference Now
Seems Likely.

Toxic, June 20 (by the Associate
ed Press Tho privy council
passed the naval treaty adopted at
the Washington arms conference
and submitted 1t today to the
prince regent for ratification.
The councils approval included
the provision against poison gas
and the clause restricting subma-
rines. Viscount Ito, representing
for the councils investigating
committee, said the committee
found the ratio of ships appor-
toned to japan disadvantageous to
the empire and requested the gov
ernment to use greater care in the
future.
The committee Of the privy coun-
Gil, however. found that the Jap
anese delegates at Washington
were at fault in making better
terms. From a spirit of respect for
the Washington conference in its
desire to maintain the worlds
peace, the committee recommended
ratification without amendment.

AMATEUR TITLE

Sticks for Semi-FinaIS,
With Evans, Wolff and

geles will fight it out tomorrow in
the semi-final rounds of the west
ern amateur golf tournament on
the Hillcrest course, as a result
their victories today.
Evans and Won Elm had walk
aways in their matches, but Wolff
and Wright were victorious only
after nerve-breaking struggles
which produced beautiful golf.
Chicks victory was and over
young Ted Papseur of Des Moines,
Ia. while Won Elm won and Z
victory over Francis Gaines of
Omaha. Wolff got into the semi
finals through defeating s. Dawson
Heron of Chicago, former national
amateur champion, and 8, in a
great match. and Wright was
forced to show everything he had
to win from young Jess Stuttle of
Kansas City, 3 and 1.
Wolff played a perfect game. his
card showing figures Just about par.
He did everything just right, his
long drives landing just behind the
powerful pokes Of Heron. His ap-
preaching and putting excelled that
Of the Chicagoan, although the lat
ter's work was good enough to win
most contests. On almost every
hole he managed to keep even with
his opponent. and whenever the
latter presented an opening Wolff
was able to take advantage of 1t.
Herron's defeat became certain
when he sliced his drive into the
rough on the thirty-thlrd and
though Wolff also played It poorly,
half in six gave the st. Louisan
the match.

Jess SHUTTLE played splendid
game in carrying Wright to the
thirty-fifth, but the nerve and ex-
perience of the Pacific coast shoot
er proved 100 HluCn IOT Stuttle anu
he finally broke under the strain.
At the twenty-seventh Stuttle sank
a 15-foot putt to keep the match,
but from then on Wright had
things pretty much his own way.
Chick Evans just toyed with
Payseur. Warned by his tight
matches and near defeats at the
hands of two youngsters--Held and
McKee-Chick started off today in
perfect form and soon held five
hole advantage. From then on
Chick Ioafed. He shot Just well
enough to keep the lead.
Won Elm played the best golf of
the day. He shot 1.-TWO under
par--in the morning and had every
club working perfectly all the time.
On the sixth hole he trimmed the
cup With a 150-yard approach, Just
missing an eagle Q; on the tenth ne
sank a foot-putt and all of his shots
were well nigh perfect. His first

union ultimatum said.
The reply was directed to B. M.

all ten unions who threatened a
