This Time Coolidge Appoints
That Railroad Labor
Board.
WATSON'S OWN LAW, TOO
Presidents Nominations Are
Viewed With Dismay.
BY Roscoe 3. Fleming,
frf,,,,e cf1ff NnrrernoDd dent


WASHINGTON, June 15.-Presi-
dent Coolidge ignored Senator Wat
son again Monday when he made
public the list of appointees to the
board of mediation under the Wat
son-Parker railroad labor peace law.
Senator Watson introduced the
bill in the Senate. 1t is long-stand-
ing custom here for the author of
bill carrying appointments to con-
suit with the President as to the
men to be named.
Watson has not been asked for a
consultation, and the recommenda-
tion of an Indiana Republican off,
cial party who called on the Presi-
dent, accompanied by Watson and
suggested Frank Singleton of the
Indiana public service commission
and Frank Statesman of Peru for
places on the board, was also ig
nored.
Parker Fares Better
Representative Parker, joint au-
| thor of the bill with Watson, fared
better He Is from Kentucky, and
Edwin ?. Morrow, one of the ap-
pointees, is from that State and
close personal friend Of Senator
Ernst, who, like Watson. is up for
reelection. Hywal Davies, another
member, is originally from Ken
lucky, and was for long time presi-
dent of the Kentucky Coal Operators
Association.
other appointments were Samuel
Winslow of Massachusetts, and Wal.
lace w. Hanger of Washington. A
fifth member is yet to be named.
Leaders Disguised
Washington believed Coolidge's Sc
| for the railroad managements and
unions peaceably to work out their
disputes.
Progressive Senate leaders and
| railroad leaders here, were
disgusted."
Winslow is a former Congressman
from the Presidents home State,
who was chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the House
and such is credited by the railroad
unions with fighting bitterly every
suggestion that they made. He was
opposed to tho Howell-Parker bill of
two years ago, the same In principle
as the law just passed by Congress.
Old Board Members
Hanger and Morrow were mem
| bers Of the public group" on the
railroad labor board, which was
kicked around by both management
and labor and finally was abolished
by the new law. The fact they We're
on the old board alone, should have
disqualified them if real attempt
were to. be made to bring peace on
the roads, labor leaders say.
Little is known of Davies here.
Labor had not made any sugges-
tions to the President as to nomina-
tions," said one of the railway union
leaders today. "Ths fact that there
isn't single man on the board that
we consider even neutral toward us,
| isn't so bad. But it's a lame duck
board, made up of friends of the
President who were out of jobs.
"We felt the President had a duty
to perform as we'll as we, and the
railroad arrangements, in seeing that
this new experiment toward peace
got chance. The board is rotten,
and will be greeted with indignation
by the railroad workers from one
end of the country to the other"
1t Is expected the new board will
be met by opposition to confirma-
ton in the Senate.

The resignation accepted by Presi-

BRAND told members of the cham

1t had been expected that BRAND
would resign IL he were unable to re-
organize his Cabinet satisfactorily.
President Doumergue must now
decide whether to ask BRAND TO
form new cabinet or to seek some
other premier.
There was discussion today of the
possibility that former Premier
