Displaying the same fearless spirit shown by the Yankee doughboy when he journeyed across the sea to bat tie the Kaiser in his own den, the women of the Harry W. Congdon Post, American Legion Auxiliary, are challenging and defying fate on Fri day evening of this week when they will hold a monstrous whist party at Congdon Post club rooms. For Fri day of this week is Friday the Thir- teenth.' This will not deter the Aux Hilary in their endeavor to secure funds to win 2, place among the Good Will Workers for Mrs. Ellen G. Coyle, a Gold Star Mother, who hopes to, sore day, see the grave wherein lies the body of her son. buried on French soil.
 Scores of pretty prizes have been donated and it is expected that the attendance at this affair, will equal that of the famous bachelor night party of a year ago when police re- serves were called to prevent a stam- pede.

President Harding Does Not
Regard Reply Of Executives
a Barrier to Settlement of
the Shop Strike.
Nv DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright by the 1nteInSencer)
Washington. Aug President Hard
ing does not consider tho reply OF the
railway executives an insuperable bar
rjer TO settlement OF the strike. The
important fact TO be borne in mind Is
tina, the railroads have agreed TO the
f-St point in the compromise, namely.
that they will recognize and obey de-
cIsion of the l.. s. Railroad Labor Board.
Bound By that pledge they cannot there
fore refuse 10 obSy such decision as
the board may make in the future on
the mooted question OF seniority rights.
In other words the President has the
leverage now TO require the railroads 10
submit to the labor board the settlement
Of the seniority problems. 7. Dewitt
Cuyler. head OF the railroad executives
would have preferred that procedure and
so told Mr.. Harding last week at the
White House. Mr.. Cuyler didn't see no"
the railroads could publicly reverse
themselves. Mr.. Harding Insisted how
ever on making the effort TO persuade
them and believed public opinion would
compel the executives 70 announce their
acceptance. Mr.. Cuyler promised 10 out
line the Presidents viewpoint.
Most unexpectedly. therefore. 70 Mr.
Harding IS the answer which the rail-
roads have made but Il cannot be called
discourasng The situation Is by no
means as hopeless as IL may appear on
the surface. For one thing, the Pres!-
dent cannot conceive that the railroads
who have been 50 severely criticizinS
tho shop crafts men for striking against
the government can turn around now
and ignore the governments proposal
For a settlement" Wouldn't they be
Etr!k!nS againS, the government, too, Is
the question asked in official quarters.
R,it to understand what is coming
one must read carefully the text or the
renly to the railroad executives. 1t will

limited states Railroad Labor is quoted
extensively as having contended that
the strikers had forfeited their senior

labor hoard embraces Is statement
