HOLDS WALKOUT LAWFUL.

head of the striking railroad shop-
men, today sent telegram to Presl-
dent Harding replying to the presl-
dents proclamation on the strike

in violation of the provisions of the

the violation of the Labor Boards
decisions by the railroads. The tr.k-
ers insisted that no interruption of
commerce or interference with mails
have been caused by any unlawful
act by the shopmen.

men, women and children in the rural
and mountain sections of the country
who have no church utilization. will be a
leading topic at a national conference of
educational leaders of the Episcopal
church which will meet here MAY 30 to
June / inclusive. Experiments already
conducted, according to DIR. William Z.
Gardner, executive secretary of the de
partment of religious education of the
church, indicate that methods of CORE
spondence schools and mail order houses
may prcitably be applied to the rural
problem of the church. Under the sys-
tenn proposed, Bible instruction would
be sent broadcast into the isolated dis
trlcts throughout the country to groups,
families and individuals.
The purpose of the conference is to
agree upon uniform plans for religious
instruction throughout the church. An
other important subject for discussion
viii be hat of religious instruction
through church agencies in cooperation
with the public schools. The Episcopal
church already has over 5000 children in
IS states who are excused from the
public schools for certain periods each
week for religious education under the
direction of the church and with the~ap-
proVal of the parents. This movement
is being forwarded in all large protestant
c~ommunions, in charge. largely of educat-
ors who have long been identified with
the public schools.
