ming said. ''in just the manner that the
Washington Conference for the Limita-
ton Armaments did. That conference
was a success because II did not try TO
accomplish too much. Mr.. Harding and
Mr.. Hughes each realized that to get
the representatives of the principal
Powers around a table even to discuss
limitation of arms would be big step.
We believe that the moral effect upon
the entire world Of the various Chris
tian denominations getting together and
talking matters over. so to speak, will
be tremendous.
The Preliminary Step.
1--WE believe that a real beginning
toward church unity and a solution of
the problems that confront us may be
had as soon as representatives of the
Christian faiths get together, break
down prejudices and suspicious and es-
tablish a foundation upon which we may
work. The proposed conference in
Washington. we hope, will be the real
beginning OF movement destined to
become the greatest since the divirsions
of Christendom took place"
Bishop Manning made II clear that
the proposed Washington conference that
President Harding has promised to
address In 1924 or early In 1925 will be
only a preliminary step. 1t will be ex-
pressly stipulated that pone of the de-
cisicns reached by the delegates shall
be binding upon their respective de-
nominations. But" continued Bishop
Manning, how are differences to be
solved except by conferences?"
While the Episcopal Church in the
United States has taken the lead in the
calling of the World Conference or
Faith and Order 1t will not. Bishor
Manning explained, attempt to exercise
any dominant influence on the delibera
tions
'.We have been glad to undertake Tho
preliminary work that grew out of tn,
idea broached at the general conference
In Cincinnati in 1910. and which ha!
been to some extent interrupted by tn,
war. But the movement is too big
too worldwide in its scope and infiu
ence for any one denomination t
control"

VIII Keen Roads Open

CHICAGO, July. THE trains will
continue TO run, strike or not strike,
railway executives united in declaring
last night after the efforts of the United
States railroad labor board to halt a
strike OF 100000 shopmen, set for to-
day, had met with apparent failure.
Neither the maintenanee-of-w way en-
ployes. who also have been taking a
strike vote, but who have decided not
to walk out today, nor the shop crafts
mechanics, who are scheduled to throw
down their tools at 10 o'clock today,
have anything To do with the actual
operation of the trains, the railway
managers explained.
That work it was explained. is car
ried out by the Big Four" brother
hoods, whose international presidents is
sued orders Yesterday that their mem
bers should continue to carry out their
usual duties, irrespective of any strike
action on the part Of the other unions.
The maintenance-of-w men comprise
the track repair gangs and other semi
skilled labor. The shop crafts workers,
who are more vital to the efficient oper-
alton of a road, make repairs on rolling
stock ..
Railway managers said, however, that
their present equipment would be adC
quate for several months and that emer-
gency repairs might be made in outside
shops. They estimated that it would
be at least three months before walk
out of shop crafts employees would seri-
ously impair the efficiency of either
passenger or freight transportation.

Skeleton Found i'm RiUer

Is Thought to Be That

Through the constant washing of the
Connecticut river bank on the NeFmont

seen first by William Ouimett of Spring

As MIR. Ouimett was passing a point
from 30 to 60 rods south of the power
station he noticed skull and other bones
projecting from the river bank. Select
man \. G.. Barnes of Vernon was mott
fed and Mrs. Barnes called Sheriff Frank
L. Nellman by telephone about 5 O'Clock.
Sheriff Wellman, DIR. +. II. Lynch and
Attorney Ii. G. Barber went to Vernon,
and later States Attorney Harold e.
Whitney arrived
They examined the, skeleton and found
that apparently it had been buried in a
sitting posture, and from this and other
facts DIR. Lynch was of the opinion that
the bones were those of an Indian.
Only the skull, part of the ribs and
the knees We're visible, but most of the
other bones were found with the excep-
ton of the thighs The men dug in the
dirt a little but not enough to make
sure that no more bones remained. They
took the skeleton 10 the power station in
order that it might be examined by John
f. Gale of Guilford. who for a good num-
Der of years has been trying TO locate
Lester Stafford, who disappeared from
that town, and by others who have been
interested in finding the body of Cornelius
Flanagan, who went down with the Con-
nectieut river bridge at Brattleboro
March 2S. 1920
1t is not believed. however. that the
skeleton is that of either of the men men
toned as 1T is thought to be too small
to be that of Flanagan and there was no
indication of dentistry. while Stafford had
some gold teeth. The frontal bone was
rather flattened and the check bones were
high. The skull was smaller than that
of the average white man.

WASHINGTON, July President

bituminous and anthracite coal operators
and united mine workers officials at the

standing for your mutual good and the
country's common good
The president in addressing the gather
ing, which included about 30 operators
and the same number approximately of
united mine workers officials and district
presidents. and Secretaries Hoover Davis
and Fall. declared the present was no
time for the militant note of the radi-
cal, and reminded the conference that
federation, fairness, the spirit of give and
take and finally the assent of larger obli-
CATION to the public are essential to sue
cessful Conferences
Coupled with his appeal and admoni-
ton the President uttered what was re-
garded as a warning when he said that
II the operators and miners could not
settle this matter in frank recognition
OF the mutuality of your interest
then the larger public interest must be
asserted in the name of the people where
the common good is the first and higher
concern
This warning note from the President
after he had described the plight of the
nation through continuation of the pres
ent suspension Of work which today en-
tered the fourth month was accentuated
by the statement of Attorney General
