RAILWAY EXECUTIVES
REJECT PEACE PLAN
COURTEOUSLY BUT NONE THE
LESS FIRMLY DECLINE PRO-
PosALS OF PRESIDENT HARD.
ING TO SETTLE STRIKE.
HOOVER ON HAND. So

New York, Aug. Railway exc.
cutives of the nation today firmly
but courteously rejected the program
advanced by the Harding admins
tration for the settlement of the rail
strike. Willing to accept condition.
ally two suggestions put forward by
the White House-that both sides
abide by wage decisions of the rail
road labor board and that law suits
springing out of the strike be with
drawn-the heads of 148 roads de-
clared emphatically that it was i'm
possible to reinstate strikers. with
unimpaired seniority rights, the third
provision in the presidents plan.
After being told by Robert 8.
Lovett of the Union Pacific that
there was no moral or practical rea-
son for budging from their position,
the executives disbanded, caught the
first trains for their respective head
quarters and indicated that they
were going ahead and would operate
their roads with forces they had as
sembled since the shopmen walked
out on July 1.
The decision not to yield on the
question of seniority was made
known to the White House by tele-
graph after the rail heads had lis
tened to a 20 minute address by
Secretary of Commerce Hoover who,
as direct representative Of the presi-
dent, told them in effect that. the ad-
ministration held the seniority ques-
tion of minor Importance in COM
parison with that of upholding the
railroad labor board. This action was
taken in the face Of a letter from
President Harding addressed to 7.
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Am
erican Association of Railway Exc
cutives, embodying "the terms OF
agreement, as I understand them,
upon which the railway managers
and united shop crafts workers are
to agree preliminary to calling of
the existing strike"
President Harding had closed his
letter with these two sentences:
81 need hardly add that I have
reason to believe these terms will be
accepted by the workers. If there is
good reason why the managers can
rot accept, they will be obligated to
open direct negotiations or assume
full responsibility for the situation"
In addition Secretary Hoover had
urged upon the executives at their
meeting when the text Of the
Harding letter was read, that settle
ment of the rail strike was impera-
tive in view of the complicating con-
ditions introduced by the coal strike.

of the occasion. Below is the poem:
DedT HelSHDOTS, we nave BdIneTeQ mere
Tonight to say to you
How glad we are you have your house
Fixed UP so nice and new.
Long years you both have striven.
Keeping fore'er in view
The time when you'd be having
Your house done over new.
But first must be a new hen-house
To hold your feathered brood;
And then the horses and the cows
Must have shelter good.
Then sickness interrupted you.
Or workmen were too few;
Almost it seemed that the old house
Would always have to do.
With quiet perseverance sti1l
You held upon your way.
Until through chaos and through skill
At last there came the day.
When all was finished well
And you could look about
With satisfaction. that your plans
Were more than carried out.
We wished that we something bring
To make it more complete.
So brought a rug. pray put it down
Beneath your busy feet.
And when upon it's beauty
Your eye may chance to rest
Just think we're wishing. too. for you:
A life that's richly blest.
Besides the things that useful are.
To make your room just right.
We think you'll like the picture
That we have here tonight.

BRAVERY Of THE
APACHE INDIANS
NO FEAR OF DEATH

The following story vas told to me
by that venerable Old pioneer scout
and Indian interpreter, Mr.. C. c, Cody
OF Show Low.
He said while acting az guide TO
General Crook they camped, one
beautiful morning, near Fort Hua'
chuca. After looking around the Fort
and renewing old acquaintances with
the boys, he happened to see an In
dian that belonged to Fort Apache,
and while there, had killed a dear
friend of Mr.. Cody, in cold blood,
waiting on lonely trail by shooting
him in the back. Mr.. Cody knew
positively that he did the deed. He
told me that he went to the captain
bf the Fort, told k.m the circum'
stances and asked the captain to give
him permission to kill the Indian. OF
course the captain refused, but told
him the following morning the Indian
was going with a white man after
wood.
Mr.. Cody told me that the next
morninp he was in the woods when
the Indian and the white man came.
He said, 81 told the Indian that was
going to kill him for killing my friend,
| commanded him to stand with his
back against large cottonwood tree
and / took Winchester, stepped
hack four or five steps and told him
to close his eyes. He stepped up to
the tree, unbuttoned the little old
white factory shirt he had on, picked
IN a piece OF charcoal and made a
circle over his heart, held the shirt
back with both hands and told me to
shoot. He never plead for mercey.
Never said that he was innocent or
showed the least symptom of fear. He
lust stood there, waiting to hear the
fatal shot which would end 1t all.
held my gun to my shoulder for
moment or two, cooked, then dropped
It to the ground and told the Indian
to come to me. | told him that l In
tended to kill him but that ! couldn't
