there any practical reason, tnasmuch as
the country's railroad service was
generally satisfactory.
It was declared that the railroads be-
lievcd acceptance would precipitate an
even worse strike than that now In
progress, because the supervising forces
which have shown ability to organize
new employees would quit.
Most Of those close to the conference
maintained that unqualified reinstate-
mcnt Of strikers would be frank in
Justice" to men who had replaced strik :
Ing workers. In addition they said II
was felt that if the seniority condi-
tions were accepted It would mean that
the union men would discipline" those
who had helped to break the strike.
Although the text Of the Harding
letter was not made public here, 1t was
reported to have proved more mnndn-
tory in tone than had been expected.
The text, it was understood, differed
from that written Bert NJ. Jewell, labor
leader, when the Administration pro-
gram was forwarded to the strikers In
Chicago.
Emphatic denial that any roads
would effect n settlement with the
strikers independent of the stand taken
by the majority was made by those close
to the executives conference when
shown dispatches from Chicago stating
that the men would be asked to make
separate settlements with roads accept
ing President Harding's conditions.
Before adiourning, without setting
a date for another meeting. the general
session approved the reply to President
Harding submitted to 1t by the COM
mittee. The nature of the communicn-
tion. which 1t was announced would
be forwarded to the White House, was
not made public.

STRANGE MALADY KILLS
GIRARDVILLE YOUTH
Suffered injury to Leg Which Be-
came Petrifed

Shenandoah. Pa. Aug. 1.--Frank
Urbanavagc, twenty, died at his home at
Girardvillc, near here, today. from the
effects Of malady which has puzzled
physicians all over the State for almost
a year.
Urbanavage was a well known ath-
lete, and il is supposed about n year
ago suffered an injury to his right leg
while diving. When local physicians
failed to give him relief he was taken
to the Polytechnic Hospital and later to
the General Hospital at Philadelphia,
but physicians Mt these institutions
could afford him no relief.
Several months ago the leg began to
petrify until it became osSifrd and at
the time of death outweighed the rest
of his body.
Medical men here say there is no rec
ord of similar case in medical history.
DR.. I. s. Ravdin, one of the Phila-
delphia doctors who treated Ubanavage
said today that The malady had been
diagnosed as sarcoma of the thigh, of
which many cases are known to mcdi-
cine. The youth was sent to the
Philadelphia Hospital for radinm treat
ment. DR.. Ravdin said it was impos-
sible that the leg should have become
petrifed.
