railroads maintained that men were returning to work but some of the carriers annulled some trains ana readjusted schedules. The union or- ficials maintained that the ranks Of the strikers remained unbroken.

Helt, of the Brother hood of Railroad Signal Men; Timothy Healy of the International Brother hood of Stationary Bremen and OIL CTS and, E. J. Manlon. head of the Railroad Photographers, called on MT. Jewell tonight
 Mir. Manion said that the heads of the unions called on Mir. Jewell to offer 'felicitations" of the organlza- tions they represented to the shop men and to "extend any possible aid"
 Render "Moral support,
 Mir. Manlon said such aid would take the form of moral support and that the men of the various unions would not do any work regularly per formed by the shopmen.
 One of the matters discussed, MT Manion said. was the recent resolu- tion of the board declaring the shop men beyond the jurisdiction of the board because of the strike. This resolution, termed by the unions an "outlaw" of the shopmens organiza- tions, MT. Manion said, had provoked criticism from other union organiza- tions.
 MT. Manion said that meeting Of the 16 standard railroad unions to take action in regard to this resclu ton was possible. He termed the resolution partisan" asserting that the labor board had failed to take similar action when the railroads violated the boards orders or wishes
 Federal court action in connection with the strike developed today at East St. Louis. when the Illinois Central railroad obtained tempo rary injunction agasnst picketing.

 Republican Flesh
BY Associated press

Washington, July 6.-The legls. lative program of the present ses- sion of Congress was said today by republican senators to be somewhat more clearly defined as result of the dinner-conference last night al the home of Senator Lodge of Massa . chusetts. the majority leader.
 The passage of the tariff bill and possibly of the soldier bonus measure would constitute the major part oi the program before adjournment, in the opinion of the republican leaders with the Capper-Tincher grain future trading bill. the Liberlan loan mea- sure and the rivers and harbors de- velopment bill included among them selves which might go through.
 The republican leaders. 1t was re- ported. did not include the adminIs- tration ship subsidy bin on their ten- tative calendar for passage at the present session. Rising opposition because of its subsidy features and the prohibition element injected through an amendment prohibiting sale of liquor on American ships left considerable doubt as to the possi- bility of the bill's disposal before ad- journment. republicans said.
 The soldier bonus bill, however was said to be the real thorn on the legislative vine. This, 1t was said was discussed at some length at the Lodge dinner but without definite conclusions, other than consultation by Senate leaders with President Harding, when he returns from Marion.
 Seek Harding's Views
 It was said to have been decided, fl possible. to obtain from the President definite statement of his position on the Fordney- McCumber bill Il , MT. Harding should oppose the pend 1 ing bill, it was said that an effort would be made to reach a comprom- 1 ise acceptable to the executive.

 According to the report re-

 with arrest for carrying concealed
 weapons If they leave the cOm- pany's property.
 The sheriff of Morgan county is reported to be in Missouri and no
 one else in the county has the authority to deputixe special of ficers, leaving the situation vir-

The latest talk among nations is scomplete disarmament. Everybody destroy all weapons, all unite to punish any nation that attacks an other. Nothing will come of that. France couldn't do 1t. and won't. To the east, looking at her, and wait ing for a chance, are Russia and Germany. France will put off the chance as long as she can and keep armed.
 As for this country we don't know what other nations will do, and our business Is to keep ready for what ever any one of them may do.
