Cincinnati Ohio, June ia rail-
road strike on or about July l is
now regarded by labor leaders here
as inevitable unless the government
intervenes. Action on the part of
the government is the only thing
that can prevent walkout by the
railroad union workmen as result
of the revisions ordered recently in
the wages of the shop and main
tenance of way employees
Spokesman for the unions declared
that furthermore, the union3 will
insist on assurances that the labor
board will require the railroads to
participate in full and free confer
ences on the question of adjusting
the disputes that have arisen over
the wages and working conditions.
Some union leaders believe that
President Harding will avert the
strike at the last moment by using
his influence to have the board
hold up the pay reductions ordered
for July T. With the union work
men voting overwhelmingly for a
strike, the leaders have formally
gone on record as refusing to accept
the responsibility for the strike.

be signalized near Cincinnati this
summer by the birth of nc" city.
"Mariemont" is to be the name

structed by his widow, Mrs, Mary
Emery, philanthropist.
Five thousand PEOPLE will be ac-
'ommodated in the dream city.
Churches, schools, city buildings and
theatre will be constructed by Mrs.
Emery's agent, Thomas J. Livin-
good. Five million dollars Will be
spent to build municipality to BE-
controlled and directed in the inter
est of its residents rather than LII

Emery has purchased sos acres III

For successful popping the heat
