orders of the state, Freedom oe expres- slon vanishes under the order of the board
 But, I say now that the workers of America either on the railroads or elsewhere do not intend to sacrifice the freedom of expression and of action The board undertakes to say that unions which differ with the board must cease to exist-they are out-lawed.' Whether this is for the moment an assumption of authority on the part of the board is immaterial. It is the logical outcome of the very establishment of such boards. It is an inevitable, consequence of an ini- tial action that was wrong in principle and that has proven impossible in ac- tion.
 The labor board, as an institution functioning in the twentieth century is second in ifncongruity only to the so- called 'ope shop movement
 The law gives theworker s, or the railroads, the right. to decline to sc- cept the boards rulings. The workers. of necessity. declined by vote of the membership withdrew their servrces They declined to work for the terms ocdered by the board. The board now declares them 'outlawed.' This Is -autocracy with vengeance. It seeks to put the whole force of government back of the move ment to kill the spirit and the fact of collective bargaining, of joint negotia- tions and agreement by the voluntary coming together of workers and em- ployers It is the calamituous outgrowth of a mistaken idea
 Unions cannot be ulimade and re. made at government diotation. This is neither the Russia of the black auto orst nor. the red autocrat. This is America, where the principle of volul- tary action, of conference and agree. ment. of freedom of expression and oi lawful action is rooted in our soil and grown into our institutions. !"
 The unions exist for humanity, for : the workers and they cannot and will not be destroyed al the whiTn or fancy of band of dicta4tors.D

Coal Conference
 Goes Over
Operators and Miners Are
 Still DeadIocked Govern ment Intervention Looked
 to as Only Means of End ing Strike. I

Washington, July s.-The conference Of bituninous coal mine operators and officials of the minecs' union summoned by President Harding to consider meth ods of ending the coal strike in unionized fields adjourned today until Monday In the same deadlock which had character ized it's session on two previous days
 Participants apparently considered that only governmental intervention, going much further than it has to date, would offer possibilities of an early strike set clement President Harding is expected on Monday to have again direct dealings with the negotiators but the : govern ment's plans are kept secret.
 From first to last. employers contended in the discussions here that they could no longer negotiate wage scales with the union in the central competitive field as unit, or in 8 gathering of all union coal operators and miners. Miners officials continued to demand such negotiation as tie established practice in the industry and to refuse offers of negotiations by districts, repeated in several forms as they were Secretaries Hoover and Davis, who have attended the meetings as representatives of the administration, have offered no propositions outside of a tentative suggestion that a committee of miners and operators might be appointed to consider possibilities of. outlining dis tricts.
 Meetings of operators and of miners. separately from the joint conference, were held today, but led to no action. Secrc= tary Hoover remarked after the meetings had been concluded that participates might renew their gatherings Monday with more hope of success after discuss ing the situation with associates at home.

Probe Wreck of
 Midnight Flyer
Investigation From Four Sources Under Way to Place Responsibility for Railroad Crash Cape May Switch Was Opened by Mistake.

antic City, N. j., July 3.-Inves,f- gation from four sources was under way tonight to place responsibility for the wreck of Philadelphia and Reading railway train shortly after midnight last night at Winslow Junction, near here which cost the lives of seven persons and injuries to more than sixty-tive others
 Besides the investigation by the rail- road company, others were being made py the county and state authorities and The interstate commerce commission.
 The wrecked train was the Midnight Flyer which left Caden 11.40 p. m. and was due in Atlantic City at 1255 a. m. The crash occurred on the Cape May Wildwood branch. when the train. run ming at full speed, crashed into an open switch leading from the main line to the Cape Maysline. The engine left the rails on the curve, and catapulted down an embankment. taking with it five of the six cars It drew.
 The Cape May switch had been opened by mistake and John Dewalt 60-year- old towern1an at Winslow Junction, is under surveillance by the state police He is in bed at his home in Hammonton
 Reports that Dewalt had assumed the blame for the wreck were denied by the towerman's relatives and also by the Reading management
 In explaining the apparent cause for the switch being open. Charles H. Ew- ing, vice president of the Reading Rail- way company in charge of operations, said Dewalt had set the switches for the movement of the Cape May branch, seemingly in the belief that a train of empty passenger coaches which had passed previously was the Midnight Flyer
 Railroad officials said that when a switch Is open signal warns the en- ginean of an approaching train to slow ] down. A train going 40 miles an hour they said. would not have left the tracks The engineman on the flyer took the

 ORDER HELD UP


 Detroit, July S.-(By The A. P.1- The United States railway labor board late today averted, temporarily at least, a threatened strike of 400 900 mainten-. ance employees of the. nations railroads, in protest against a wage reduction.
 Just as the executive board of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway Shop La borers was mapping pans to send forth strike call, the labor board made request by long distance telephone that the union chiefs meet with the labor beard in Chicago tomorrow in an at- tempt toadiust the differences betwee: the railroads and their employees. The invitation was accepted and the i've members of the union board, with E. F. Grsble international president, left to- night for Chicago
 Tn addition to the investigation, the labor sboard sent by telegraph to the union officials a copy of a resolution passed by the board today in which it announced that any organization strik- ing against the boards decisions would be out-lawed. s@
 The labor boards invitation to the conference brought to an abrupt end a meeting of the brotherhood board that
  CT the conference had progressed several hours unofficial word came from the con- ference room that a waEkout "reasona~ ly might be expected"
 When the labor boards invitation came the meeting was adjourned hurried ly.
 In addition to the brief statement an- nouncing acceptance of the labor board s invitation. MT. .Grable declared that in the event the Chicago conference met with failure "a reasonable length of time'' would ensue before a strike call was issued. He said this meant at least 10 or 12 hours.
 The brotherhood chief refused to say what his attitude was to that of the executive board would be before the de med to say whether he was hopeful of a settlement
 The official statement of the execu- tive board issued upon the sudden halt ing of the conference follows: i "The executive board of the United I Brcthnrhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway Shop Laborers | has srent the day in tabula4ing the strike ballots and in perfecting the strike machinery. The board has been irvH- ed to confer with the railroad labor board and has accepted the invitation the meeting to take place in Chicago to- morrow"
 Mr. Grable explained the statement reference to strike machinery by de. claring pans had been mapped to pre-. vent any disorders in the eventof 2 strike. He refused to announce tlT: result of the strike ballot recently talk en beyond the statement that about st per cent. of the votes so far tabulatet favored a walk-out in the event othel railroad organizations joined in. Prac tically all the strike ballots have been tablulated 1t was announced.
