TO FIGHT FOR U.S.. FREEDOM

The celebration today of the 165th
de Lafayette. the great French cham
pion OF American freedom, recalls
some interesting historical data which
We're rediscovered just prior to the
world war on the Commandment act
of Lafayette and forwarded to the
manuscript department of the Library
of Congress.
While il is 4 matter of history that
Lafayette sailed from France in 1777
with the nominal disapproval of the
French government. 1t has never been
known how many young French Off
GERS or soldiers made up his Ameri-
can expedition, and it is strange that
none of the searchers and historians
who for nearly a century have been
gathering together all the informa-
ton they could find regarding Ameri-
can revolutionary history or Lafay-
cites connection with it should not
have unearthed the expedition list.
The embarkation list of Lafayette's
American expedition shows only the
names of twenty-one of his compan-
ions, eleven of whom are quite I'M
known. unheard of outside of the
documents in the Library of Congress.
Many Wanted to Come.
Tradition has it that Lafayette had
quite a following of French officers
ready to come with him to enlist in
the cause of American freedom. In
fact. it is known that fifty young
officers waited at San Sebastien to
join his ship, the Victoria. and were
ordered back into France by formal
orders of the king. But Lafayette.

ISOLATION of Machinists. one of the
largest of seven rail unions now on
strike. took occasion to disappear COM
pletely-
Mr.. Johnston's associates and his
family protested ignorance OF his
whereabouts. but were unanimous in
their confidence that he was on official
and. important duty. At machinists
headquarters here inquiries brought
the reply that he was .tn Pittsburgh,
Baltimore or New York"
Adding to the mystery was the
established fact that Mr. Johnston
had conversation yesterday with
Secretary of Commerce Hoover be-
fore he dropped out of sight, and
was reported to have informed the
Secretary that2settlement prospects
were bright. Whether B. NJ. Jewell.
the official head of the entire strik-
ing group, was in company with
Mr. Johnston in the latter's myste-
rious journeyings or whether railroad
sought for settlement conferences re-
manned at the "rumor" stage.
No Fcnr of Injunction.
A vigorous denial was entered by
machinists' officials to suggestions
that their chief might be seeking to
foil process servers armed with copies
of the Chicago restraining order
entered in the injunction suit against
Mr.. Johnston and the other strike
leaders. To the exact contrary, II
was said. he was seeking service
of the papers. and would be instant
ly brought to light to receive them
if any United States marshal showed
UP around his organization. 1t was
even asserted that an official copy
of the order itself was badly wanted
by the general strike committee, to
check up against press reports.
The, Southern railway. whose presi-
dent. Fairfax Harrison. has sought

them everything their leaders had
accepted as satisfactory in a national
settlement, has had no overtures IT
was said today, for renewal Of nego-
tiations The management, though
now engaged In employing new men;
is still able to make the original
offers again, it was added.
H l.. Brunson, assistant to Presi-
dent Johnston, said today it would
be impossible for any general con-
ference between union officials and
railway executives to be held with
out the International Association of
Machinists participating, and, he
added, the fact that no official of
that Organization had been invited
to any meeting was evidence in it
self that no such conference as
rumored had been held or was con-
templated at this time.
