moved one of the strike issues when
they announced they would abolish
the contract system.
The beard in several cases ruled
that the carriers were violating pro-
visions of the transportation act in
farming out work.

road officials declared that the public
would scarcely be aware of the walk
out except thru reading about it.
rupted, they asserted and in some GEN.
tiers it was indicated that shops would
be operated on an open shop basis.
Definite word from headquarters of
the maintenance of way employees at
Detroit early today that the track
workers would remain at work until
July at least, pending conferences,
left the shop crafts alone in the walk
out today.
Delay in strike orders for mainte-
nance of way employees brought hope
that the labor board could avert
walkout by the track men.
E. f. Cradle, it was pointed out
might assume the same role that was
played by w. G.. Lee, president of the
brotherhood of railroad trainmen,
when a general rail strike threatened
to tieup transportation last year. With
Chairman Hooper as the guiding
of the three labor members of the
board as the chairman's right hand
man, hope was expressed in railroad
circles today that Mr.. Cradle could be
persuaded against hasty action in call
ing the trackmen out.
From the east came reports that the
wa1kout in and about greater New
Y ork would be virtually 100 per cent.
Other points reported the following
number of shopmen ready to lay down
their tools: Memphis, 1000; Nashville,
1900; Montgomery, 500; New Or
leans, 2,100; Louisville, $500: Padu-
cab, Ky, 1000; Omaha, 5000; Cres-
ton, Iowa, 500; Des Moines, 1,400.
Another Reason for Wage Cut.
Washington. July Freight rates
thruout the United States on prac-
tically all Il commodities will be re-
duced today 10 per cent when the
carriers of the country put into effect
the decision rendered last month by
the interstate commerce commission
in the general rate case.
Agricultural comm oddities will be
the only important traffic which the
10 per cent cut will not affect, rates
on these commodities having been re-
duced last January.
Railroad statisticians estimate that
the general rate decision will cause
decrease of $3.50, 100000 annually in
the nations freight bill.
Disorders in Maryland.
Washington, July 1.-Disoriers in
connection with the strike of union
shopmen called for today occurred at
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad COM
pany's round house at Ivy City. Mary
land, near here, early in the day when
men said to be employees of the COM
pany drove from the vicinity of the
round house a detail of special guards
sent there by the railroad to protect
the property.
No one was injured. When police
of the Washington city force. to whom
the guards appealed for aid on leav-
ing the round house, reached the
scene, they found the cots and camp
ing equipment which the guards had
taken there destroyed. Quiet had
been restored and the police expected
no further disorders.

D. W. MULVANE is CONFIDENT
National Committeeman Sees Repub-
Hcan Victory i'm Kansas.

There is little doubt that the Re
publicans will maintain a normal ma
5oTity in congress after the November
election, according to D. w. Mulvane,
Republican national committeeman
for Kansas. Mulvane has returned
from Washington where he spent a
week at national headquarters and
looking after private business.
The Kansas national committeeman
has spent much time in Washington
during the last year and for a con-
siderable time was in active charge of
national headquarters. 1t is probable.
tho. that he will now remain in the
state until next fall-possibly until
after the November elections.
Mulvane said the swing of several
nominally Democrat districts, which
gave Republican najorities in the
1920 landslide. did not indicate seri-
Gus trouble for the party. He also
declared that defeat of Senator Nc
Cumber for a return trip to the senate
in the North Dakota primaries was a
matter of only local concern. The
fight in North Dakota, he declared,
was o. state and not national concern.
Following the state wide primaries
Mulvane Will spend most of his time
in the campaign for congressional
and state nominees

requirements of the federal law. Such a
strike will be aimed at the government and
the public which the government repre-
sents. Reductions in Rock Island revenue

times the wage reductions on the Rock
