RAIL- AND Mine UNION
LEADERS ARE CONFIDENT
Feeling in Railroad Camps Is
That Strike Call May Get
Into Court Action
(By United Press)

Cincinnati, June 20. - Railroad
workers and the striking miners will
be prepared to meet any kind of an
attack that will be launched against
them in event of railroad strike
through joint action of rail and
miners, leaders said today on the eve
of the conference for permanent de.
fense."
As the miners are prepared to take
up formally with the railroad unions

operative action, court action or in

the rail strike will not surprise the
allied leaders. :

am not going to tip off plans, but
am going to say we are going to be
ready for whatever comes," said one
railroad executive today.
There is a feeling in the railroad
camps that the strike call will get in
to the courts. 1t may be, they said,
that they will be charged with con-
spring to tie up interstate commerce,
and an injunction will be brought to
prevent the use of union funds in
financing the strike. Leaders all
denied today they had any definite
information as to the proposed course
of the governments action. The
feeling that something of the kind
will occur was based on feeling of
union men that the courts and their
opponents prepare weapons.

Poland's Problem
"The chief problem in Poland from
our point of view is the devasted

American Participation
In World Cable Service

The two new cable lines by which
American capital promises to lnten
sify in 1928 the power OF the Uni
ted States to communicate with the
business world abroad will bring the
total of the worlds submarine tele-
graph lines we'll above 100000 miles,
and the total cost to approximately
$500, 100000, of which about one tnlfa
is controlled by American capital.
This promise Of an investment IN
1928 of S25,000,000 for new ocean
cables to give closer business rela-
ton across the two greatest oceans
of the world, is a mere continuance:

disposition which American capital
has always shown to aid international
commerce. 1t was an American, Pro-
lessor S. F. B. Morse, who in 1S43,

York by short submarine cable.
made the first recorded suggestion OF
telegraphic communication across the

organized the New York, NeWtound-
land and London Gable Company
with the purpose Of linking the Uni
ted States with England. The pluck
and persistency Of many costly eS>
periments and apparent failures
coupled with the expenditure of near
" $4,000 900, then a very large sum
of money, established the first cable
communication between Newfound-
land and Valentino, Ireland, eyer
which President Buchanan and Queen
Victoria on August 17,,s1s5S, eea,.s !.

The difficulties which American
capital faced in that determined
fight for close communication with
the business world abroad, including
