Credit for averting a rail strike ‘which threatened to become general among all classes of railway labor except the “big four” brotherhoods and telegraphers, was generally 9on- ceded to Ben ‘W. Hooper, chairman of ‘the United States railroad labor board, W. L. MeMenimen, labor member of ‘the board, and E. F. Grabie, president of the maintenance men—the “big threw" in yesteraay's conference. As a result of the holiday confor- ence nearly 400,000 maintenance of ‘way men, who, for a week hovered on the verge of a strike after voting overwhelmingly in favor of a walk- out, will remain at work. Maintenance men will stay on the job “under protest” against the $$0,- 000 000 cut in their wages pending ne- gotiations for readjustment of wage scales upon an appeal by the employes. In many rail centers strikers have deen notified that they would forfelt all rights and consideration for future | employment if they failed to return to}: their jobs immediately, Many roads were accepting new men for work in the shops. p74 PLAN TO OMAHA, Neb., July 5.—Despite the decision of executives of the mainten- ance of way men’s union not to strike pending mediation efforts, local un- (ion leaders today predicted that many maintenance men would walk-out be- ‘fore night-fall. + M. R. Gibson, strike chairman in }the Council Bluffs, Iowa, district, said the expected a large number of main- Mtenance men would join the shopmen’s tetrike this afternoon. Harward Gates, chairman of the Omaha strikers, said the strikers had no official information concerning the rumored walk-out of maintenance men here, but said there were strong indi- cations that “a great many of the amen will walk-out today.” Gates characterized the Burlington railroad fiat, issued yesterday and de- signating July 10 as the final day on which striking sho men may. return to work and retain their seniority as “just a plain ecare that we have been expecting a long time.” REPORT TROUBLE AT HAVELOCK.

Negotiations. for Readjustment of Wage Scales CHICAGO, July 5.—(By The Associated Press.) — Striking railway shopmen who walked out in answer to the nation-wide call from the headquarters of the six-shop crafts unions here last Saturday, were reported by railroad executives to be drifting back to work today in groups of uncertain size. Today was considered the turning point in the ‘strike of the 350,000 to 400,000 workers. Althongh respond- ing generally to the call last Saeur- day, railroad official! insisted today that many of the defections were due to the desire of the men to take a holiday over the Fourth of July. Local union reports to the office of B. M. Jewell, head of the shopmen. reiterated the union assertion that the strike was 100 par cent effective at all points reporting. Freight handlers, clerks and station. ary firemen and offers joined the de serting ranks of shopmen at various pointe, although fully as many shops reported that men were returning to work today. ti eee BALL SCORES NATIONAL LEAGUE Batteries—Markle foot and McCurdy: At Boston—Philadelphia-Boston dou- ble-header postponed; rain. cbacagciidetow: Hirao AMERICAN LEAGUE At Detroit x4 .

NEW YORK, July 5.—While rail- road officials in the New York district today denied reports of union leaders that negro labor was being employed on a large scale to replace white mem- bers of the six shop crafts who struck last Saturady, they admitted that in addition to the negroes customarily the strike are given jobs if they! qual- ify. It was asserted, however, that they were being recruited in the dis- trict and not “imported” from the south, as was rumored at strike head- quarters. Oftictals of the Erie, New York Cen- tral rafiroad of New Jersey were among those who admitted an in- crease in the hiring of negroes since the inauguration of the strike. Officials of the chief raflroads in the New York district today reported the return to work of hundreds of improved” and that recruiting of new men to fill vacancies was going on at a rapid rate. Members of the “strike conduct” committee of the crafts declared they had kept out every man who was out Monday, and had added a few here and there to the ranks of th? strikers. Employers and union leaders ex- pected to be able to figure today to what extent the strike call has been angwered and how the shops of the T1 roads in ‘he Metropolitan district thelr previous estimates of 14,000 men striking. ‘The Pennsylvania railroad, which has recently been said to have been hard hit on the Long Island division, issued a statement declaring that “the situation has been met successfully, and there will be no trouble.” The superintendent of motive power of the Central Rafiroad of New Jersey re- ported after the start of the work day that most of its Elizabethport shop- men, where the walkout was consid- ered one of the most serious in this district, returned to their jobs this morning. | at the Tribune building?” is the question a stranger in Casper might have asked this noon.

Jeffrey, Casper chiro- practor, who explained what his science did for the mam in restoring at least part of the lost memory. A large board was brought forth and placed fn the center of a large platform, built especially for the pur- pose. On this board.two-men selected at random from the audience, wrote 25 rows of figures, five to a row. This ‘was done while Thompson was blind- folded and standing some distance from the board. At the conclusion of ‘the placing of figures, Thompson, without hesitation, gave the total, and }his answer was venfied by an add- ing machine placed on the stand by the business department of the Trib- une. No word had been spoken dur- ing the writing, and Thompson's eyes had been securely blindfolded. A Tribune reporter asked him just how he did it. His answer was rather indefinite, but sufficiently clear for Wthe fundamental principle to be evi- Went. He uses his extraordinary power of mental suggestion to induce one of the writers to place on the board, the total, which he already has in mind at the start.+ According to Thompson’s manager, J. C.

For the first time in the recent history of the festival there will be ample accommodations. Profiting from 1921's impressive demonstration that the crowd of visitors attracted by the famous “wild west” show had outgrown Frontier park's seating ca- pacity, the Citizens’ Frontier commit- tee, acting for the Cheyenne chamber of Commerce, has erected an addition to the steel grandstand which pro- vides reserved seat accommodations for 4,009 additional spectators. All the. former seating capacity has been retained and there now is seat room at Frontier park for 20,000 persons, and nearty all of {t ts under roof, in suring comfort, the weather regard- less. A month before the 1922 celebration prospective contestants and their stock are arriving in Cheyenne from many points of “Rangeland” and Frontier park is rapidly becoming the “wild west” headquarters of the country.

EADSVILLE BARBECUE IS ATTENDED BY BiG CROWD Two hundred and five cars drove up Casper mountain to Eadsville yesterday.to take part in the bar. Dbecue which was staged by the Casper Motor club. Although the road is unusually steep, the recent work done on it by members of the club has so im- proved it that it was in good con- dition. Earl Boyle had a Fordson tractor on the job at the steepest pitch all day and snaked many of the cars over the hump. For this service the members of the club are d=cply grateful—as well as the owners of the cars which were un- able to make the grade under their own power. There were no accidents of any. description recorded during the day, in spite of the hazardous route. The barbecue was 2 great success in every detail, and a 400-pound steer, two tubs of potato salad, a half barrel of pickles and countless gallons of coffee were prepared and served ‘by Jim Brooks and a corps of assistants. Between 700 and 800 participated in the festivities. Among those were a number of tour- ists from all parts of the United | States, who were charmed by the | scenery of the country and appreci- ative of the courtesy shown them by the,members of the club. Five horseshoe counts were busy all day long and several close matches were played. Charles Staf- ford of the Chamber of Commerce and Dave Griffith of the Commercial Printers took on all comers during the day and were hailed as the champions until A. E. Litterdale and J, J. Giblin trimmed them beautifully. The much advertised match between Jim Griffith and Walter Keefe did not take place. Each accuses the other of stage- fright and the championship will have to be determined later.
