ing at Several Points

Efforts Of the Railroad Labor Board
to settle the strike Of 100000 shop
men failed yesterday when iho
heads Of the roads refused % con-
fer with B. n. Jewell, leader CT
the union men. The rail exeou-
tivcs offered to discuss the situa-
tion with the Labor Board. after
the strikers returned 10 work.
In New York the strike brought
signs Of serious slowing down Of
transportation service. Passen-
ger trains were heavily delayed,
and freight traffic was brought 10
virtual halt in many places.
The cancellation Of ten more mail
trains out Of Cincinnati was met
With the announcement In Wash
ington that the government was
prepared 10 use the army for pro-
lection II President Harding's
proclamation demanding non-inter-
ference with the mails was not
Needed.
Disorders marked tho strike II sew
eral cities. At Denison, Tex, ono
strike breaker was shot, sixteen
flogged and many others attacked
by a mob Of strike sympathlzcrs.
At Crewe, Va, one man was kl.lea
and ore wounded.
Gripping Of the railroads efforts to
have repair work done In pri-
vate shops was seen in the order
issued by the Metal Trades De-
partment Of the American Feder-
alton Of Labor, disapprovng Of
repair work by union men or loco
motives coming from roads on
which strikes are in progress.
