walkout on Monday morning Of
stationary firemen and oilers In
Washington may seriously interfere
with railroad service in and out of
this city, officials of the two unions
with which these class Of workers
are affiliated said today.
The firemen, about fifteen In all,
are employed in the power house at
Union Station, lexington, and Ivy
City. There are also about fifteen
oilers in these shops.
II these men go on strike, there
is a possibility that the three shops
may be shut down entirely, thus cut
ting off all electric power furnished
the Union Station and various build
ings connected with the railroads.
The most serious aspect Of the sit
uation is the possibility that the
switches may be temporarily put out
of service II the electric current is
cut off.
Officials of the labor unions said
today they had received no word of
the strike order.
Washington Terminal officials also
declared no word of the strike had
been received here. They declined
to discuss the possible effects of a
walkout Of stationary engineers and
oilers.

President Harding met again with
his Cabinet today to seek a course

There was an unmistakable air Of
pessimism and alarm in Washing.

The roseate vision Of a Temple of
Woman Triumphant, a monument
planned to be built on the Dean
estate by the efforts of, and dedi-
Gated to, the women of America,
vanished in thin air today when II
was learned the Woman's National
Foundation. sponsor for the monu-
ment, is to be disbanded.
While II remains for the board
OF directors Of the Foundation to
make the ultimate decision, never
theless 1t is accepted as a foregone
conclusion that the work OF the
organization is ended. The board
Of governors will meet within a few
days to make the final decision. 1t
was said today.
Started Mission Zealously.
The woman's National Foundation,
fostered by some of the most promi-
nent women in the country, started
in on its mission TO elevate American
womanhood with intense zeal. Wom-
ans clubs and civic organizations
throughout the country were can
vassed and the report from the 1ie!d
workers was so encouraging that the
founders of the association felt the
need justified their plunging into the
work with all the enthusiasm they
could command.
Plans were drawn up on an elab.
crate scale by widely known archii-
tects. Thousands Of expensive pros.
pectpses. artistically done in sepia
and white, and lavishly illustrated,
were scattered broadcast throughout
the country.
The money to erect the Temple of
Woman Triumphant, according 10
the plan of the foundation, was to be
raised by popular subscription and
by obtaining members for the organi.
zation.
Among the many elaborate fea-
lures Of the temple, as outlined in
their prospectus, were a large open.

OF drama would be presented and
classical dances held; an auditorium
in which the various women's or.
ganizations affiliated with the
foundation would bold their conven,
tons: gorgeous gardens and marble
verandas, and a series Of offices
which would house the officers OF
the women's organizations.
In addition there would be res.
taurants and sleeping quarters for
visiting delegates, and one of the
finest pipe organs in the world.
Catered to Aesthetic Tastes.
In short, everything devoted to the
aesthetic side OF woman would be
stressed, and art, music, and drama
would flourish unrestraIned.
But the foundation soon discov,

could not be pushed to completion.

THE strike is against the railroads
and against no one else.
THE railroads have sought and

to cut wages below the American
standard. They want to destroy

existed for thirty years. They want
to smash the unions and run
the railroads without regard to
humanity.
Neither workers nor shippers
mean anything to the present con-

can be made. The railroad workers

of Americanism, OF humanity. They
are fighting a clean, orderly fight.
They are resorting to no tricks, no

Hard Coal Miners to

The hard coal men will be willing

they do not seem willing to allow
the arbitrators such scope as would
permit a reduction OF wages from
the scale which prevailed when
work was suspended on March 81.
