days they have attempted to mediate
the shopren's controversies.

the negotions," Mr.. Stone said. "TOo
much has been said.'
eve are acting IS mediators and
nediators only prepudices their use
fulness by talking" Mr.. Robertson
said. 81 would rather not be asked
to say anything until the conferences
are over. I can't make any predic-
tions nok."
Asked what position the brothcr-
hoods will be in If the negotiation:
fail, Mr.. Stone said they will be r..
the same position they were in b,
fore. The strike will simply so on"

pathetic strike nor any consideration

safety laws to tax, care Of tho do
fective equipment, which would en-.
danger the lives OF brotherhood n.cm-
bers and it will only be necessary 10
enforce these laws"
He was then asked if the orders or
President Harding to the interstate
commerce commission to withdraw all
trains which do not fully comply with
the law were satisfactory, and re.
piled:
eff the federal inspectors can keep
a close enough check they will with
draw many trains. I would rather
not talk about tn tavct, however"
Mr.. Stone also refused to comment
on President Harding's address, plac
ing the strike situation before con-
gress, which he said President Hard
ing had discussed with the broth
erhood chiefs. Messrs. Stone and

The labor chief i'm a critical dis
cussion Of the presidents message,
announced that his organizations
would oppose any legislation carry
ing out the suggestions that the rail
road labor board ho given power TO
enforce its decisions, or to allow the
federal government to punish crimes
against aliens such as those alleged
to have been committed during the
Herrin, Ills, massacre, while he de-

ment is rechecking the Occupations
qualifications of the enlisted men of
the army and compiling iii formation
making quick action posspa in the
event that federal troops Fare called
upon for duty in the coal or rail

AS a part Of the departments gen,
eral policy of preparedness, corps
commanders are understood to have
been requested to advise officials here
how many men under their command
have had experience in railroad work
and in what particular branch of
railroad service each is most compe.
tent. Similar information regarding
other trades is understocd to have
been gathered by the department. in
other cases in the past.
Thus far no requests for federal
troops have been received BY the de-
partment in connection with either

the position that should a request
come they should be prepared imme-
diately to place all pertinent informa-
ton before the president. The order
regarding qualifications pf enlisted
men in railroad work was said to be
based wholly upon this desire for pre-
faredness and to indicatsno change
