LABOR MEMBERSOF
RAIL LABOR BOARD
DIVIDED ON REPORT
Representative Of Union
Men Issues Addendum
To Recent Dissenting
Opinion Of Colleagues

CHICAGOO, June 2S.-A division
among the labor members of the
United States railroad labor board
was seen tonight in an addendum to
a recent dissenting opinion which
was signed Only by A. o. Wharton
and Albert Phillips.
w. L. McMenimen, the third labor
representative expressed great sur
prise when told or the action of his
fellow members of the board, and
said that he had no knowledge of
the opinion before it was made pub
lie.
Mr.. Wharton explained that Mr..
McMenirnen had not been consulted
because he had not signed the orig
inal dissenting opinion, being out of
the city at tie time. The case in
volved the recent decision of the
railroad labor board, cutting the pay
of the railway and steamship clerks,
freight handlers and station en-
ployes.
Mr. McMenimen pointed out that
he was most directly interested in
anything affecting the clerks as he
is the labor member of the committee
of the board which deals directly
with matters pertaining to the clerks
train dispatchers and telegraphers.
The a6dendum opinion issued to.
night took UP the wage cuts recently
ordered by a majority of the board
and announced in supporting opin-
ion signed by six of the nine men,
bers of the board and then said
THE minority members of the
board in dissenting from this series
of wage decisions have sought to
fairly and clearly challenge the right
of the mapority to read into the Ia
Dor provisions of the transporta-
ton act. 1920. principles never in
tended by congress and certainly
never recognized by any authorita-
tive body in the fixing of any mini
mum standard of living based on a
level which may be expressed in
terms of health and decency."
Quoting from section of the ma
jority opinion supporting the wage
SLASH es which said that the minor
ity are sowing some of the tiny seed
that have terminated and blossomed
into industrial anarchy in Russia"
the minority opinion says that such
a ''slur" could only be conceived in
the minds of men who find them
selves in an indefensible position,
who adopt the tactIcs of a character
assassin in their desperate effort to
prevent consideration of the matter
upon its merits. The present condi-
ton of Russia is not a revelant cir
cumstances under the transporta-
tion act; if it We're, we might be par
doned for suggesting that response
bility for the chaos in Russian in
dustry might be laid at the door of
generations of the people of Russia" !"
The majority were accused of
'paIpable misstatements" of "un-
fairness" and of distortion of facts"
in its wage cuts by the minority
opinion.

UNITED STATES
Of CHINA PLAN
Of WI PEI FL
DBH-F

PEKING, June 2S-General WI Pei
Flu, dominant figure of northern
China. today endorsed the recent
suggestion of General Chen Chung
Ming, outstanding leader of the
Soutr, that a federal system be
adopted for reunited China. patterned
after that of the United States of
America
General WI suggested that the re-
organized republic be known as the
United States of China.
The majority of the provinces al
ready have signified their approval
of the proposal to reunite the country
under a federal government at Pc
king with each province enjoying
rights similar to those accorded the
separate states of the American un-
ion. General Wu said.
The quiet little man who drove the
Manchurian war lord. Cheng Tso-Lin
in rout from the gates of Picking,
and recalled to office the constitu-
tional president. Ii Yuan Hung, de-
clared that sentiment is growing in
favor of the United China program
with American ideals as its guiding
htar.
WI asserted that he had no hesl-
tation in predicting that as China
travelled the road of progress she
would be found copying and putting
into practice Americas ideals to an
extent not reached by any other
country.
In the South, WI said, where Sun
Vat Sens followers had become fa-
miIiar with Western methods, the
new leader there, Chen Chung Ming,
who recently drove Sun from Canton,
was particularly strong supporter
of the "Americanized China" program.
WI Pei-Fu pointed out that, while
a central government should be main
tanned at Peking. the great distances
that separated the boundaries of the
country made it imperative that the
provinces should be permitted a
measure of local autonomy similar to
that possessed by the several states
Of the American union.
This question of provincial auton-
omy. it was suggested should be set
tied at the next session of the re-
vived republican parliament. which
is expected to obtain a quorum for
meeting in Peking by August /.

WHITE HOUSE TAKES.
FIRST STEP To END.
COAL MINE DISPUTE.
Harding Invites Miners
And Operators To Meet
In Conference To Talk
Plans For Settlement

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Invita
tions went out from the White House
| today asking the leaders of the strih-
ing miners and the representatives Of
the employing coal operators in both
the bituminous and anthracite fields
of the United States to meet Presi-
dent Harding Saturday, TO devise
methods upon which negotiations for
the settlement of the coal strike can
be initiated"
The communications made evident
that careful and complete discussions
with spokesmen on both sides of the
industrial struggle had preceded the
meeting call, and prompt and ready
acceptanees are expected imme-
diately.
John J.. Lewis. chief OF the United
Mine Workers. who remained in the
city after a personal interview with
the president, accepted at once in be-
half of the union.
The wording of the presidents
message was interrupted as demon
strating the desire of the administra-
tion to hold the meeting above the
controversies which have deadloched
the unioniZed section of the industry
since April /. Official but informal
comment emphasized it was the in
tention that the conference should
be held merely to discuss ways and
means for a settlement and not to
take up the miners demands for con-
tinuance of war time wage scales,
nor the operators demand in the BIZ
luminous field for separate district
wage agreements supplanting the
semi national wage contracts that
have heretofore been made. 1t was
fully expected, however, that when
the meeting assembled, the president
or his cabinet members who have
participated in the preliminary eff
forts, would have a program for con-
tinuation of the settlement attempt
to present to the assemblage. There
was no hint, however, as to the line
such a program might follow.
Secretary of Labor Davis, who has
conducted the negotiations with the
union for the government, gave the
first news of the action contemplat-
ed, after prolonged conference today
with the president, and official copies
of the invitations were given out
later Alfred NJ Ogle, president of
the National Coal association, was
asked to notify the associations sub
ordinate operators organizations to
name representatives for the meet
ing, while S. d. Warriner, Of the an
thracite operators committee, was
invited to represent anthracite oper-
ators with the understanding that
additional anthracite spokesmen
should participate.
Discussions with the operators took
place in New York recently, Secretary
Hoover speaking for the government.
Owing to a large number of individ-
uals and corporations engaged in BIZ
luminous production, it was said, the
National Coal association had under
taken to name a representative group
for the conference.
To speak for the union, the presi-
dent invited in addition to Mr.. Lewis
and John Brophy, head of an anthra-
cite miners district at Clearfield, Pa,
% other district. presidents of the
mine workers organization.

LONDON, June 2S-The latest
news from Dublin up to 10 o'clock
tonight indicate that the siege of
Four Courts continues, the besiegers
using trench mortars. and the be-
leaguered garrison replying only in
termittently, apparently with the
desire to husband their limited sup
plies of ammunition.
The provisional government, it is
assumed, is hoping to attain its end
without unnecessary sacrifice of life
or the risk of badly damaging the
fine building and its historic con-
tents.
1t would appear now that ii was
mere coincidence that the action of
the provisional government against
O'Connor's irregulars came hot foot
on the British governments demand
that the provisional authorities
should take steps to enforce law and

The inactivity of the provisional
