The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-05

yesterday which it was announced showed 90 per cent in favor of a walkout. Armed with strike orders to 2,700 chairmen, the maintenance of way officers spent the day in con- ference with Chairman Hooper and MT. McMenimen, later announcing postponement of the strike. With this crisis safely passed, both railroad executives and officers of the shcp CT afts now on strike admitted so- night that the first real test of strength of the striking shopmen will occur tomorrow when the whistles blow
 B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employees department of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. has con- tended that practically 100 per cent of his 4O0 900 members had obeyed the strike call. The carriers have asserted that many men who walked out last Saturday were merely going for a holiday over the Fourth of July and will be back on the job to- morrow.
 Board "OutIawed" Jewell
 MT. Jewell today replied to the pro- nouncement of the labor board of yesterday "outlawing' his organiza- ton by asserting that 1t was not the shopmen but the board itself that had been "outlawed."
 MT Jewell in his letter to the board asserted that that body had failed in it's attempt to negotiate settlement between the shopmen and the carriers and reiterated his inten- tion of dealing only with the rall- roads in making settlement.
 President Harding in an address at Marion, Ohio. today took cognizance of the labor situation when he de- clared that man had right to labor without any others permission and that men also have the right to bargain collectively. Governments" he added, "cannot tolerate any class or group.
 Fourth Day Quiet
 The fourth day of the shopmen's strike passed quietly.
 Several of the railroads maintained that their shop forces were being augmented by strikers themselves who were returning to work. These statements were denied by the union men.
 Violence in connection with the strike was confined today to few scattered clashes between strike sympathizers and workers, although number of railroads established guards about their shops.
 From Cleveland came a threat of strike of track men on the Mahoning division of the Erie following the disehage of an employe because &C., cordlng to union officials he refused to do work regularly delegated to men on strike.
 The maintenance of way strike. averted today, was voted on the $60.0o0,000 wage cut authorized by the labor board for maintenance of way men effective July l. MT. Grable was summoned before the board last Friday and had promised not to call the strike until further conferences had been made.
