MAY ASK COOLIDGE
TO AVERT STRIKE
Westerners Urge Appeal to
President to Appoint
Rail ProberS.

Urgent pleas for an appeal to Presi-
dent Coolidge for the creation of q
special Federal board to inquire into
the threatened Scranton strike of train
men and conductors on Western rail-
roads have reached the United States
Board of Railroad Mediation from busi-
ness and civic organizations all over the
West and from a number of governors
of Western States.
Chairman WinsIow of the board to-
day refused to say whether an appeal
to the President had been or would be
made, but In answer to a question, said:
There is nothing different in this
case from the usual orderly proceed
ings when a strike vote Is taken by
railroad employees organization or or
ganizations acting IN accordance with
their established methods, quite familiar
to both parties Immediately involved.
The railroad labor law clearly indicates
the line OF action to be followed in the
event of any really threatened strike
within the meaning Of the act. There
appears to be no present reason for
supposing that the provisions OF the law
would not be adequate to meet any sit
uation likely TO arise or that the ma
chinery of the law will not be operated
If necessary TO protect the interests OF
employees, carriers and the public
So far the developments of the con-
troversy between the Western railroads
and their trainmen and conductors
have been followed closely by the Board
of Mediation. but without the attain
ment of an agreement. The brother
hoods demanded a ia per cent wage
increase, have finally refused TO arbi-
trate the demand under the boards
auspices and are now engaged In taking
a strike vote.
There is now left practically only
one move the Federal body can take,
which is to notify the President that a
situation is threatening the interrupt
ton of essential transportation and to
ask him TO appoint a special board OF
inquiry. The brotherhoods would then
be required to delay any actual strike
until the special board had reported.
Only one such board has been Gre
ated in the history of the present medi-
alton organization, and successfully
averted a strike on the Kansas City
Mexico e. Orient. 1t is said that num-
Der Of railroad controversies In the last
two or three years have developed to
a point of crisis similar to that pro-
duced by the trainmen and conductors
In the Western territory at present, but
have nevertheless been adjudicated sat-
isfactorily without the appeal to the
President.
The board is still continuing Its ne
gotiations with the railroad officials
and the leaders Of the brotherhoods,

BLAIR DENIES WORK
CAUSED SUICIDE.
Official Clears Stenographlc
Pool of Blame in Miss
SherIock'S Death.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Blair today issued formal statement
denying charges that Miss Dorothy r.
Sherlock of liol x street, an employe
in so-called 'stenosraphie pool" of
the Government. committed suicide on
account Of the conditions of her en-
ployment.
The statement by Commissioner Blair
based upon a searching investigation
which has been going on since her
death. in effect was n reply to repeated
charges by Mrs. Margaret Hopkins wor-
rell. president of the newly organized
League of the American Civil Service,
concerning the Sherlock case. Mrs.
Worrell and her associates III the league
have been loud In their condemnation
of the stenographic pool and have
claimed that it was the pressure of
work that caused Miss Sherlock TO
commit suicide.
Holds Report unfounded.
Nothing has been developed through
out our entire inquiry" said Commits
sioner Blair. which indicates 10 the
slightest extent that Miss Sherlock
committed suicide as a direct result of
her employment IN the Stenographic
section of the Income Tax Unit"
Admitting there was room for I'M
provement In some stenographic pools,
the commissioner, however. declared his
confidence In the pools as a sound
business practice. The details of Miss
Sherlock'S employment we're carefully
recited by the commissioner. who
pointed out that during her entire em~
pioyment she had not worked In the
pool more than six weeks altogether.
