Rail STRIKE
IS HALTED BY
LABOR BOARD
Railroad Executives and
Union Leaders Summoned
To Conference Today
TRANSPORTATION ACT
Measure Authorizes Move-Similar
Action Last October Averted Walk
Out of Big Four"

Chicago, June 30.-The United
States Government has stepped into
the threatened railway strike of 400,-
600 shopmen, ordered to leave their
work at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
when the Railroad Labor Board cited
executives of the six shopcrafts M
ions and of four other unions and the
railroads 10 appear before the board
today at , o'clock.
Acting under authority Of the
TRANSPORTATION act TO intervene in any
railroad dispute which threatens to
interrupt traffic, the Federal body
summoned the heads Of the conflicting
parties in a determination to investi-
gate the walkout before the strike be-
comes effective.
In addition to the shopmen, whose
strike order already has been issued,
the four other unions cited, now taking
strike vote, are +he clerks, nlainten-
ance of way men, stationary fremen
and oilers and signal men.
Orders signed by the six mterna-
tional presidents Of the shop unions
were sent out Wednesday night, au-
thorozinig the strike.
Their action followed an ultimatum
to the railway executives TO stay the
G0,000,000 wage cut due July 1st;
to restore former working conditions
abolished by the roads and to stop
farming out" shop work.
The issuance of the Railroad Labor
Boards order followed a series Of
conferences between railroad labor
leaders, executives and Chairman Ben
w. Hooper, Of the board.
In Connection with the possibility
that some OF the union leaders might
not appear for the inquiry today, there
was belief that the board might
take further action to compel attend
ance of all persons concerned. 1t was
pointed out that in one sentence of the
Transportation act the board is au-
thorizcd 10 "invoke the aid Of any
United States District Court"
At thc cfiice of the Railroad Labor
Board it was stated that Section %13
Of the TRANSFORMATION act of 1920
gives the board power to cite national
officers Of labor organizations.
The section made public at the Office
OF the Labor Board says:
The Labor Board. in case it has
reason 20 believe that any dccis-
ion Of the Labor Board or of an
adjustment board is being violated
by any carrier or employe or sub
ordinate official or organization
thereof. NAV. upon its own voli-
tion. after due notice and hearing
to all persons directly interested
in such violation. determine
whether. in its opinion such vio-
lation has occurred and make pub
lie its decision in such manner as
II NAV determine.
Instructions governing the conduct
of the strike, prepared at shopmen's
headquarters here, and sent to tie
general chairmen Of the unions on all
roads. warn all officers and members
against acts of violence or destruction

OF Future Controversies Between
Belligerants

Washington, June 30.-President
Harding is prepared 10 submit his
own plan for solution Of the coal
strike if the White House conference
tomorrow develops deadlock between
the operators and miners called to-
gethcr by the President, 1t was
learned.
Official announcement Of the Ad-
ministration plan was not made, but
it was understood the President has IN
m;NG national conference for the
coal industry which would take into
conSidcra ton the views of every pro-
ducng operator and every union coal
miner in the United States.
This would represent a compromise
suggested BY the Department Of La
bor hetweer the insstence OF the mine
workers for y meeting Of the central
competitive field. so called. and OF the
operators for conferences 6y individ-
ual districts,
Meanwhile acceptanecs from the
various operators and unions included
in the Presidents call for n White
House conference or Saturday began
to arrive yesterday and there seems
10 doubt that.the meeting will be req
resentative Of. all elements in the
present controversy.
II President Harding follows the
view of Secretary Davis, his first task
is to convert the operators to his idea,
4 national conference would suit the
miners almost as we'll as negotiations
foT a central competitive field con-
tract, but the mine owners have shown
no disposition to go beyond district
or State limits.
The President VIII als0 have TO allay
their feers Of contempt proceedings
under the Federal Ccurt injunction
at indianapolis, which some of the
GENERATORS think bars them from dis
cussions with the miners embracing
the nation or the central competitive
States.
Il :;:se definitely learned that Mr..
Harding will go into the White House

came known .hat whatever are the re-

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington. June 30.--Represen-
tative Charles l.. knight, OF ONO,
Republican, in letter to Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, charges
that internal revenue ofilcials IN the
state are working for the nomina-
ton for Governor Of Carmi Thomp-
son, friend OF President Harding.
Knight himself is a carlidate for
the Gubernatorial nomination.
In addition to making these
charges. knight in n statement de-
clares that Attorney General
Daugherty is mixing unduly in the
Ohio fight and that United States
marshals have been instructed to
work for the nomination of Thomp-
son.
81 do not have 10 guess who is
responsible for that, said Mr..
Knights formal statement. "The
eminent Attorney General cannot
keep his nose out of Ohio politics
and Of course ne knows only one
wav of PLAYING the game"
The Attorney General. in a state
ment in reply to the knight charges
brands them rs entirely false and
without any foundation whatever.
SO the battle RACES in the ranks of
Republican officials and ofiice-hold-
ers.
The question as to whether ships
operated under the American flag
are to be permitted to diSpcnse in
toxicating LIQUORS beyond the three
mile limit will shortly be- settled by
Attorney General Daugherty. In

tary Of the Treasury Mellon for an

represent him.

With almost startling rapidity,
the old leaders in the House arc
passing so that next year will see
radical reorganization Of the affairs
of that body and a chance for the
installation cf yoGng and vigorous
men in places Of power instead OF
those who have been debating
party affairs for the last decade.
First Of all, Uncle Joe Cannon an
nounced his retirement. Following
this came the announcement of the
retirement of Representative Ridcn-
berg. of Illinois, long Republican
wheel horse and one of the most
powerful reactionaries in the House.
Next came the announcement Of the
retirement OF Representative Ford-
ncy. of Michigan, Chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee and
regarded as one of the greatest liza
bilities to the Republican party at
this time on account Of MS reaction
ary and ra-conservative views. In
addition to this, Floor Leader Mon
dell is making the race in Wyoming
for Senator and Will retire from
Congress at the end Of the present
term. Representative Fess, Of Ohio,
former Chairman Of the Republican
Congressional Committee. is also in
the Senatorial fight in Ohio and will
not be seen in the next House. Then
there is Representative "Pat" Kel-
ley, Of Michigan, who is locking
horns with Senator Townsend in
contest in that state.
REPRESENTATIVE Phil Campbell. Of
Kansas. Chairman of the powerful
Committee on Rules. it is said, will
likely be defeated for denomination
by the voters of his district. 1t
would seem, therefore, that 50 far
as the Republicans are concerned,
even if they carry the next House.
which is regarded as quite unlikely,
many new faces will be seen in the
lineup.
