big four brotherhood members, are
being encouraged by railroad officials
in an effort to break tho powerful
unions, Timothy o. shea, acting as
president of the locomotive firemen
and englnemen, charged here today.
Rail officials are taking this action
to force the brotherhood members to
strike in violation of their contracts,
Shea declared.
Demand that Lewis "take ilnme'
diate action to prevent repetition
of these unwarranted attacks" on
trains carrying non-union coal was
said to have been made by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen and the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.
The attacks protested by the "big
four" officials occurred at Glouster,
Jacksonville and Trimble, Ohio, on
the Kanawha and Michigan road and
at points along the Illinois Central in
Kentucky and Illinois.
Ultimatums were served on em-
ployes of both roads by striking min.
ers and sympathizers not to handle
coal mined by non-union labor.
Shea issued another warning OF
the dangerous condition Of railroad
equipment being used by members OF
the brotherhood. H b H
MANY locomotives are in such
dangerous condition due to improper
care that they simply cannot be oper.
ated at all" said Shea.

Present In Favor Of Acceptance;
Would Take Men Back;
Slight Reservations.

Th" ra.lr'i1 evecutives' answer is
TO be presented TO President Hard
ing this afternoon.
The agency quoted as its author
ity "the president of one of the
largest systems in the country" and
stated that only 'unimportant quail.
fications" were made In connection
with the acceptance. The executives.
It was stated, voted to give all shop
men back their jobs and then refer
the seniority question TO the labor
board as the president suggested
The vote was said to have been
about 2is TO /.
"A large majority of the execu.
tives present at the conference were
in favor of acceptance. although a
small but enthusiastic minority held
out for rejection.
"The majority resolution (adopted
by the conference) was for accept
anee of the striking shopmen with
out displacing men already engaged
during the strike. The striking
shopmen will be given their old
jobs if they are not already ade-
quately filled. In the latter case
they will be given similar work but
will not necessarily so back to the
exact places they quit.
Striking shopmen who have com
mitted any ovart act against the
company or their properties, or men
who have been at work, will not be
accepted.
Some of the roads which op-
posed the majority resolution say
they will refuse to abide by the
resolution, however, inasmuch as
the rules Of the Association of Rail-
way Executives are that all roads
accept the vote of the majority it
is not expected there will be much
final opposition to the agreement .

Of the city are being asked to author
ize an additional four mill levy. No
bonds of any nature will be issued in
connection with this election, regard
less of the sentiment the voters ex-
press at the polls next Tuesday.
"The 1O-mill levy this year will not
raise as much money as the six mill
levy did last year. This condition
is brought about by material de-
crease in the city's assessed valua-
tion.
"The extra four mills being asked
for by the city will not affect any
one to any great extent.
Next year, it is believed, the as
sessed valuation will be much higher
and an additional levy may not be
necessary" Wellborn concluded.
