 The telegram read:
 Tn behalf of 25,00o striking rails way shopmen in the New York dis~ trict we endorse your stand in refus- ing to accept the compromise pro- position of President Harding. Lo- cated in a district exposed to the poison gas attack as represented by. the lying propaganda Of the railway executives our members have stood the attack without faltering and tho morale of the strikers Is perfect.
 Call R. R. Leaders "Kaisers."
 Many of the strikers are ex-serv- ice men who fought under the stars and stripes for democracy in the late war. These men have witnessed our so-called American railway executive hire cheap Chinese and Hindu labor to try and break the strike and un- der no circumstances will these for- mer soldiers agree to allow this con- glomeraton of un-skilled foreign workmen to be considered as favored employees of the railroads in order to gratify the autocratic desires of the American. railway kaisers for con- dition of industrial slavery for rail- way )employes.
 Fight To A Finish.
 Let us assure you again we want no compromise and urge that the fight be fought to a finish right now on it's merits and the present administra- ton in control of our government be forced to show whether it stands for real Americanism or the brands of represented by a few hard boiled railroad officials who would wreck the entire country in their lust for power"
 The purpose of the telegram said Mir. Williams was to "set Mir. Jewell straight" on the attitude of strikers In the metropolitan district toward i, both the railroad labor board and the ! administration.
 Our men have been disturbed by reports that MT. Jewell has reached some secret gentlemen's agreement with Prsident Harding which com- nits us to an acceptance of tho plan" declared the eastern strike official

Ohio Primaries. Result in Victory

WINE ADVOCATES DEFEATED
o. A. Thompson of Cleveland Prob- ably Nominated By c o. P. For Governor - Pomerene, Democrat, RenOminAtod-Fess Also Named

Columbus. O., Aug. (By Asso- ctated Press) - Candidates favorins wine and beer and progressivism within the republican party went down to defeat in yesterdays state wide primary election in Ohio, ac- cordtng to returns early today from more than 4,500 of the 1886 pre- cincts in the state.
 Harding Man Wins.
 The nine cornered race for the re- publican nomination for governor in which these issues were paramount apparently was won by large mar gin by Car1ni A. Thompson of Cleve- land who was strongly supported by President Hardings administration and by the Anti-Saloon League. Thompson began life as a coal miner became wealthy in oil was elected secretary of state later became treas urer of the United States and now is engaged in the iron ore business.
 Vote of Confidence.
 The outcome vas considered by President Harding himself an Ohio- an.
 A. Vic. Donahey who was the dem- ocratic nominee for governor two state ticket in November the returns indicated. He had more than a two to one lead over his nearest oppon- ent.
 POmerene Nominated.
 Senator Atlee Pomerene, democrat, who was opposed both by organized labor and by the Anti-Saloon League was renominated for the United States senate over former Congress- man John E. Lentz who was strongly indorsed by the big railroad brother hoods.
 F'eSs Also Winner.
 Representative Simeon Fess, for mer college president and until re- gently chairman of the republican national congressional committee ap- parently had received the republ- can nomination for senator from field of four contestants.
 With its two outstanding issues of progressivism and prohibition. the nine cornered contest for the re- publican domination for governor ap- peared to attract the chief interest of the voters. Both men and women voted in much larger numbers at the republican primaries than at the democratic.
 Progressive is Second.
 Representative Charles l.. Knight who made a spectacular billboard and newspaper campaign as a Roosevelt progressive" was running second to Thompson for the republi- can gubernatorial nomination.
 Thompson early in the count gained and held a commanding lead in a big majority of the SS counties in the state. As the count progressed his lead increased slowly but surely. All three of the candidates for the democratic nomination for governor were indorsed by the Anti-Saloon League. Donahey ran mainly on his record as state auditor.
