Washington, Sept. Reports OF
increased violence and sabotage on
the railroads, outgrowth of the strike
of shopmen, were placed before Pres
ident Harding and his cabinet today.
Administration officials are con-
cerned over the increase in VIOLENCE
of the past few days and today DIS

Orders are understood to have
gone out to United States DISTRICT

vigorously all violations of federal
laws i'm connections with the railroad
strike.
Reports from various parts OF the

ing of a railroad bridge near Alton,
M. one at Wilmington, Del, the
burning of seven bridges on the 81.
Paul and Southwestern line, attacks

One report to Secretary of Com
merce Hoover stated that from the
beginning of the strike, two months
ago, up TO the present, the air hose
on 3,40O ears have been cut on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad.
Similar reports have been received
from other railroads. Cutting of arr
hose Is favorite form Of sabotage.
Hoover said.
II Is extremely difficult to curb sa-
botage, Hoover said, as it comes from
withm. 80 far the railroads have
been unable TO effectively fight this
form of support TO the strikers.
Administration officials saw i'm the

Tor its ShOpmeu 4 new move to break
the strike. They believe that other
railroads will follow suit, and in this
manner tempt the strikers to return
to work In winning the strike, the
ShOpmen would return at the reduced
wages ordered by the railroad labor
! board, 1t was pointed out voluntary
wage increases by the various road,
probably would draw many striker,
back into work.
Hoover said. railroad executives re
port the return of q large number o
strikers daily. If the same ratio i
maintained, the railroads will hav
