1.-THE only interest OF the New Haven
Is TO promote policies and practices that
are of mutual interest toward such CO.
operation within New England with re-
spect 10 its transportation as Is brought
about from time to time by the New
England States and the public In regard
TO other matters OF important but COM
mon interest"
Concerning the rumored attempt at
control of the New Haven or of the New
England situation by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, Mr.. Pearson quoted the state
mcnt OF the president Of the Pennsyl-
vania that there has been no change
during the last ten years in the holdings
OF New Haven stock by the Pennsyl-

CARRIERS FAIL IN
HOT DESERT FLIGHT

OAKLAND, Calf, July 3.-Only one
of 60 homing pigeons recently released
came home.
The bird, belonging to G. Van den
Berdhe of Fruitvale, was released with
60 others at Ogden, Utah recently in a
trial flight of "homers.
The distance is over 600 miles. The
bird in question arrived at its cage in
Fruitvale completely exhausted from its
flight across the desert. 1t had big
cash in its breast, and was frayed and
torn from buffeting with the elements
on its long flight over the Sierras.
1t is believed that the majority of
the other birds came down in the
desert, looking for water, and were vic
TINS of thirst and heat, or of predatory
animals.
Pigeon fanciers believed that the
birds would fly directly over Humboldt
and Pyramid Lakes, where watchers
were stationed. The watchers reported
however, that the birds skirted the
lakes, which led them over a course
across the torrid desert.

Maintenance of way leaders meet In
Detroit today to canvass the strike
Vote recently taken by that organiza'
tion.
President Edward F. Grabel announc
ed before leaving Chicago for the
meeting that indications were he would
"be forced" to call strike.
1t was learned on good authority
that a strike call issued by the main.
tenance brotherhood would result in
like action by the brotherhood of rail
way and steamship clerks, stationary
firemen and engineers and signal men
Slightly more than 250,000 men
would be affected by q maintenance
strike call, 10000 by n walkout OF
clerks and the remainder in the two
smaller organizations.
This would bring the total on strike
to nearly 100000
Railroad executives doubted that the
maintenance of way men would strike
They declared the strike of the shop
crafts, had in no way interfered with
traffic. Work of recruiting an army
of strikebreakers to take jobs OF
strikers was on in full swing.

GOVERNMENT OFFERS
COAL ARBITRATION

WASHINGTON, July g. Govern
ment chiefs at the Harding coal con
ference today proposed that miners and
operators appoint an arbitration com
mittee to determine a sound basis Tor
settlement of the coal strike.
Both sides immediately went into
executive session to caucus on the gov
ernment suggestion.
The government suggested that this
arbitration committee be composed of
six, eight or ten of the leading opera
tors and miners.
They would take up the work of the
conference which would be adjourned
for a week to enable the committee to
thresh out the facts. The committee
at the end of that time, would sreport
back to the general conference.
Should the government fail to bring
the contending factions into agreement
and the conference show signs of dis
-integration without accomplishing the
purpose for which it was convened by
President Harding, Hoover and Davi.

These steps will be in the nature OF
a threat to place the mines under gov
ernment control, it was learned.

BOARD
SHUTS0UT
STRIKERS

CHICAGO, July 3-The railroad shop
crafts union which called strike Sat
urday lost all standing before the Unit
ed States Railroad Labor Board today.
The board declared the strikers or
ganization would be no longer recogniz-
ed and urged that the men who remain
ed in the employment of the railroads,
together with newly employed men,
form an organization to take the place
of the shop crafts union.
The board declared that the shop
crafts workers were no longer employees
of the railroads and therefore not gov
erned by the transportation act.
The ruling will be applied to all un-
ion organizations ordering their men to
strike. The board reiterated the state
ment that every resource at the gov
ernment' 8 command would be called
upon to protect men in the employment
of the railroads.
Chicago Police Interfere
Police prevented clash between
strikers and guards at the Burnside
shops of the Illinois Central, when
pickets stopped truck loaded with
bedding and other supplies being taken
to the shops. They ordered the driver
to turn around and were helping him
comply with their demands when the
police arrived The strikers fled
Railroad officials declared they did
not expect any serious results from the
shop workers on strike. 1t was said
! many of the men would return to work
this week and places of those who did
not would soon be filled.
Picketing of shops was generally
peaceful. The pickets seemed to be
good natured and complied with the
police orders to "keep moving
