CABINET IS

of 6 7 RIFE
Rail Labor Will Accept Hard
ing's Plan to Halt Trouble,
Is Belief.
By GEORGE R. HOLMES,
international News Service.

Confidence prevailed generally
in Cabinet circles today that this
week-the seventeenth of the ma
ton wide coal strike, and the
fifth of the railway strike--will
see the passing of the grave in
dustrial crisis which has kept the
country in a ferment of uncertain
ty and anxiety.
Tomorrow is expected to see
the wind-up of the paralyzing rail
strike, with the executives Of 148
railroad systems meeting in New
York, and leaders of 100000 strik-
ing shopcraft workers meeting in
Chicago to vote upon acceptance
of President Harding's peace pro-
posals.
Leaders All Agreed.
Acceptance of the Presidents pro-
gram by labor will be prompt. The
leaders already have agreed to it.
In the meeting of the railway ex-
ecutives. the acceptance will not be
so prompt, but it is none the less
certain according to Administration
spokesmen in position to know.
They anticipate a short, sharp fight
against the White House program by
the small group of bitter enders"
among the executives, and then the
acceptance of the program by a ma
jority of the railroad presidents act
ing as a unit.
Not later than Thursday morning,
perhaps Wednesday morning, Ad-
ministration officials expect to see
the 100000 striking shopcraftsmen
back in the shops and beginning the
repair of thousands of pieces of roll
ing stock laid up during the months
tie-up.
Rests Case With Public.
Reports that the railway presi.
dents would accept the Harding solu-
ton of the strike under protest"
did not impress the President nor
his advisers today. The President
believes the program he has pro-
posed is based upon justice to both
sides and to the public, and he is
quite willing, II was said, to rest his
case with public opinion.
While the outlook in the national
coal strike was not so encouraging
as was the railroad situation today,
Administration spokesmen neverthe.
less expressed the belief that this
week would see a big break" In the
four months tie-up.
This confidence was based large
" upon information prevailing today
in labor quarters that the end of
the week will see an interstate joint
conference between the miners and
those operators who are anxious to
renew operations in their idle mines.
The belief prevailed that this con.
ference will be held in Cleveland.
Among the coal operators, as
among the railway executives, there
is a sharp division between the bit.

CHURCHES URGE
HUGHES To ACT
FOR ARMEN|ANS
Fourth Church Of Christ
Scientist, Here Joins With
Others in Appeal.

The Fourth Church of Christ
Scientist, has sent the following let
ter to the Secretary of State with
reference to Armenian conditions
.~.. August 80, 1922.
To The Honorable.
The Secretary Of State.
Sir:
The Christians of all lands have
long contemplated with horror
and growing. concern the repeated
assaults on those under Turkish
rule, who, SO long ago as Sol A.
D., espoused the Christian re-
ligion In what was then a pagan
world. That the continued mas.
sacres Of the Armenians, and
other peoples in that benighted
country. should have been al.
lowed periodically to break out
with increasing violence with
scarcely a protest on the part Of
the civilized nations in a source
of wonderment and chagrin.
Numerous investigations have
been conducted with respect to
these atrocities only. in the main.
to confirm the reports at their
worst. Whatever good results
these Investigations have ac-
complished. we are glad to ac-
knowledge, but the crime goes on,
and may, It seems, break out at
any time with renewed ferocity.
It is. therefore, with a keen
sense Of our responsibility, that
the members Of Fourth Church
Of Christ, Scientist, in Washing
ton, District Of Columbia. in meet
ing assembled. unanimously join
with Tenth Church of Christ.
Scientist. of New York city, and
other Churches Of Christ. Scien-
tist, who have similarly acted. in
urging upon you, in the interest
Of humanity, to do all that can
wisely and properly be done to
put an end to this outrage upon
a defenseless and inoffensive
people.
We are not unmindful of the
fact that II Is purposed to send q
neutral commission TO the Near
East personally to investigate the
existing conditions. We heartily
commend such action; and II is
hoped and expected that much
good may result therefrom.
We are, sir,
Very respectfully,
Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist.

Acting Clerk.
