cials Say, Government officials last night ex- pressed the opinion that President Harding would be justified In sending troops to pratect delivery of the mails in the event of a country-wide strike of railroad employes. Precedent for such action is found in the case of the great railway strike ©of 1894, when President Cleveland or- dered the War Department to take necessary steps to safeguard postal transportation, it was golnnd out. Federal intervention by force in the threatened strike would be predicated, as on the former occasion, on like- lihood of developments tending to hamper running of mail trains or en- dangerin government preperty, offi- clals declare. ‘The 'dispatching of federal troops to the scene of disorders during the 1894 strike occurred the evening of July 1, 1894, following serious conflicts be- tween employes and representatives of the Pullman company and several of large rallroad interests. Trouble had been brewing for weeks, with Chicago and other middle western railroad cities the center of disturb- ances. Three Conditions. At that time it was stated that there were {hree conditions under which the President could give direct orders for movement of troops, irrespective of applications of the governors of the states. The first was to carry out the mandates of the federal courts and assist the deputies in clearing away obstructions to the operations of rail- roads in the hands of United States receivers. 3 % In the second case, it was explained, the troopd could be used to prevent interference with the transmission of the mails. It was announced at the time that the government was fully determined to do this, first giving the court officers an opportunity to keep open communication and then, if ne WOMEN TO PRESS CITZEN CAMPAIGN The citizens’ association making the largest percentage of increase in membership during Registration week. which begins next Saturday, will be awarded a handsomrely, carved gavel. This announcement was made last night by the executive committee in charge of the campaign, following a lengthy session at’the District build- ing, at which final. details were de- cided upon. The offering of this trophy is ex- pected to spur all of the thirty-six assoctations tomprising the federation to outdo each other in briuging into the citizens’ movement every man and woman in the District who has not in the past taken an“active interest in civio affairs. ‘While the executive committee was arranging details for the campaign, representatives of more than twenty- five women's organizations were in seesion in another part of the District building planning to co-operate with the male citizens in_the campaign. Headed by Mrs. Nanette B. Paul essary, supporting them with tfoops. The third case was rioting that might jeopardize United States prop- erty, and in that case the command- ing officer of the Army at the place of disturbance would act in any emergency, even without walting for orders from' the President, it was pointed out. The: troops were ordered out .by President Cleveland only ' after reports had been received by Attorney: General Olney that mails had been interrupted |pig, at several‘points in Colorado and, Call- fornia, and following & number of con- ferences with cabinet officials. In these conferences the policy was adopted of seeing_that there was free transmis- sion of the malls at all hazards. Expected to End Strike. Prior to calling out of the troops by President Cleveland, Attorney General Olney filed a’ bill in the federal cpurt at Chicago, enjoining the strikers froni interfering_ with the mails, but the bill later was broadened under orders from ‘Washington, so as to enjoin from in- terference with any train, this protec- tion being sought under the interstate commerce_act. It was believed by gov- ernment officials at the time that the injunction would stop the strike, ‘as the whole power of the government could e _brought into play. For about two weeks the troops were stationed in Chicago and other storm centers and many battles be- tween the soldlers and strikers oc- curred. A number of casualties wer flsted on_both sides. Finally, July 13, 1894, Eugene V. Debs, then presi- dent of the American Railway Union, called off the strike, and the men re- turned to work. An outgrqwth of the federal inter- ‘vention dl‘;?ll\r'.hs Cleveland admin- istration was the agitation-for a sys- tem of arbitration In settling dis- putes between labor and capital. A number of bills in this connection were introduced and the way was lald for the arbitrational'processes resorted to in latter disputes. DAUGHERTY DOUBTS LABOR POSITION IN FIGHT (Continued from First Page.) conspiring to prevent the movement of interstate commierce. ‘When the bituminous coal miners, in 1919, threatened to strike and thereby cause tremendous suffering in the country, the Wilson adminis- tration acted upon the authority. con- tained in the food control act—a war- time measure—as the war was still technically going on. An injunction to prevent the miners from carrying out their plans to tie up the supply-of. coal, and, in comsequencej the railroads and industries of the country, was ob- tained, and the miners finklly yielded. Act Declared Uncomstitutional.’ Since that time, ‘however, the Su- preme Court, has.declared the food control act unconstitutional = More- over, the Congress has passed a reso- lution declaring an end of the tech- nical state of war with Germany and Austria, and the Harding peace trea- tles with these countries are expected ehairman, the women will: conduct a house-to-house canvass, and also will station themselves at booths in pub- lie" places, where every adult, man or woman, will be given the oppor- tunity to sign up and become an ac- tive citizen. glfl membership buttons will be presented to all who register, signi- fying that they have enrolled in the army of good citizens. A sn:'d:l?uhlord. member of the executive committee, was Instructed to prepare slides to be shown in mo- tion picture theaters in the various nefghborhoods setting forth the ap- peal to citizens to register. The citizens’ tions mnow in existence cover the entire city, so that no man or woman will miss the op- portunity to enroll. The District Commissioners have des- the firr houses and police sta- to be ratified by ‘the Senate within a few days. President Harding took his first :step toward solving the rallroad problem yesterday when he brought to' Wash- ington and Into conference with the Interstate Commerce Commission the public group of the Rallway Labor Board, conisisting of Chairman Barton of the labor board, G. Wallace, W. Manger and Ben W. Hooper. The members of the Iabor board were escorted by the President_personally to the conference with the Interstate Commerca Cemmis- ion. . *The conference lasted practically throughout the day and was unfinish- ed.

Judge Landis is in New York. NEW_YORK, October 15—Federal Judge Kepesaw- M. Landis said to- night that'he had sent a telegram’ to the Soo lines officials asking them the mnature of the wage and working dif- ferences the railroad has with its em- yes. *His message was in response to one from the Soo lines asking him to act as arbiter in the dispute. Judge Landis said he was not fa- miliar ‘with the dispute, and that he would not consent to act as arbiter. until he learned the conditions. He'l declared also that he might have fixed oplnions on some of the guestions in- ved, and in that event he would be ‘disqualified to act. PLEDGE AID TO ROADS. Manufacturers Say Rail Employes Must Not Be in Preferred Class. CHICAT®, ‘October. 15.—A _state- ment issued tonight by the Illinois Mmuhutunrs‘ Assoclation ,over the signature of its president, George R. Meyercord, pledged the support of that organization to the railroad “in their efforts to reduce rates through & reduction of wages,” ‘'and urged that the public give its support fully to the carriers. “The deflation in our own indus- trial labor, which has been procured at such frightful costs, will have been In vain if railroad hop craft labor 1is sustained as a preferred class,” the statement said, in part. “Their wages are much out of pro- portion with the wages of men in manufacturing enterprises.” STRIKE MAY BRING TOTAL OF 2 MILLION OUT A telegram (Continued from First Page.) Brotherhood of Bollermakers, Lron Shipbuilders and Helpers of America; International Brotherhood of Black- smiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers. Five hundred general chairmen of the Big Four brotherhood and the Switchmen’s, Union of America were on their ;way home tonight from a week’s conference, in Chicago, with the signed authorization for a strike in thelr pockets. Ne Other Owders Necessary. No further orders will be necessary, the brotherhood chiefs said, to call out rail workers on every big line in the country.. Grand officers of the ‘brotherhoods left for Cleveland to- night. - Printed instructions were handed avery general chgirman to govern the men’s conduct.’ These authorized a progressive walkout, the first at 6 a.m. Octobef 30, to be followed by the other three secret groups, each twen- 'ty-four hours, October 31 and Novem- ber 1 and 2. Every chairman carried in a sealed packet a-code word for use if the strike is called off. In event of receiving the code .word ’from headquarters, each chairman is to open his packet to fden- tity the word. No . reservations” are made in _the strike authorizations. Skeleton service, outlined In the by-laws of the unions, is to be maintained, but otherwise ev- ery man is expected to walk out. The instructions declare the-men have “iden- tically the same right to refuse to per- form service on a mail traln es you have to perform service on a freight train.” 1 System Orders to Be Issumed, ~ Arriving at their respective headquar- ters, general chairmen of the brother- hoods ard switchmen will immediately Issue system orders over the general chairmen’s signatures, carrying the hour and date of the strike. These orders will go to focal chairmen, who will pass them to the rank and filo. Although complete plans for the walkout of the other eleven of the sixteen standard railroad organiza- tlons were Incomplete tonight, it was said the general procedure wovld be much like that of the brotherhoods. ‘Warren 8. Stone, -grand chief of the’ engineers, declined to comment “lon the conferences of this week. He said an announcement might be made from the Cleveland office later. “We're all throygh,” Mr. Stone sald. “I camia tell you anything now, but the die is cast.” e ‘W. G. Lee, president of the train- men, sald he had used every In- fluence to avert & strike on the basis of & 12 per cent wage reduction of July 1, 1921, but that he felt any further reductions would: justify s walkout. * { Lee Opposed Call “I want it understood that I used every influence to avert a strike on ‘the wage reduction of July 1,” Mr. Lee said. “I preferred to accept that reduction, with an assurance that there would be no further wage reduction or change in our working rules for a reasonable period. “I felt that if the railroads got through present business conditions they would be in position to pay the present rates of pay.” Mr. Lee refused to comment on the strike orders, although he admitted that he had already sent out one au- thorization to strike to trainmen on estine, Tex., asked to strike at noon October 22, independently of the other groups. Lee gave his au- thorisation several days ago and it still stands. The road, however, is included in the first group scheduled to walk out, and the trainmen may defer action until October 30. Sheppard Is Reticent. L. _E.' Sheppard, president of the conductors, said he could say nothing, reiterating his announcement of eev- leral days ago that no official state- [ment_would be. given out here. .

The secretary will arrange a roll call (alphabetically) with each organ- ization on a separate sheet. Roll will be called twice daily, morning and after- noon. The names of the non-members will be kept separate on the roll from the names of those who &re members of the organizations. All strikers will be required to answer the roli call and also to be in the halls, where halls are pro- vided, during the day af all:times, un- less ‘excused by committee action or by chairman of the meeting. The secretary will also keep a rec- ord .of the proceedings from day to day. ; 6. In the conduct of -every strike there are numerous irresponsible persons, not members of the organ- isations, who take occasion to en- gage in acts of violence and disor- derly conduct, and such actions. are usually attributed to members of the organizations, and great care should be taken by every member of the organizations to avoid associating with such persons and such conduct should be discouraged, so as mot to cast reproach upon the cause. Must Take Leaders’ Weord. Some railroad officials may en- deavor to coerce or mislead the men by asserting that men at other points have not quit or that they have re- turned to work. Such information should be discounted and all strikers should apply to their oMicers and committeemen for information, and be governed accordingly, and no member or non-union man will re- turn tb work until the strike is of- ficially declared off, when all will return at the same time without prejedice and with all former rights.

Whenever it is possible for the local chairman representing all of the organizations involved at any terminal to report to thelr respective general chairman jointly in one communication, it should be done. 3. Expense incurred for telegrams will be borne jointly by the organi- zations involved. (A 4. When deemed advisable, local chairman will agree upon as- aistant chalrmen for their respective organizations to be located at out- lying points, and said assistant chal men wlil report to their respectiv: local chatrmen. Disloyaity to Jie Reported. 5. Clearly defined cases of disloy- alty or inefficiency on the part of any representative of, the organizations should be reported to the other or- ganizations and necessary action elther as to discipline or 'safety meas- ures taken at once. DUTIES OF GENERAL CHAIRMEN. 1. The general chairmen of each railroad, involved in the strike will supervise and be responsible. for the conduct of the strike upon the line of rajiroad over which he has juris- diction, and -will make reports by night telegram letter to the grand officer ‘having general supervision over that line of road. Expensé incurred by so doing will be paid In accordance with the laws of the respective organizations. 2. On reads where, because of the number of strikers involved, it be- comes necessary for the general chair- man to have assistance he may desig- nate other officers and members of the general committee, as in his judg- ment may be necessary to success- fully carry on the strike. Will Keep Each Othtr Advised. 3. In_ the absence of Instructions from the grand officer in charge of the district, the, general chairmen will agree between themselves as to the pointa®at which they will be locat- ed during the strike and they will im- mediately advise the officer in charge of the district and each of their local chairmen where they are located and proper addresses.

Laugded for their efliciency by Rep- resenthtives Yates of Illinois and Kelley of Pennsylvania, and congrat- ulated by their chief for the splendid co-operation now existing in.the de- partment, more than 300 members of the Policemen's Association of the District of Columbla assembled at the New Ebbitt Hotel last night to cele- brate the eighteenth anniversary of the founding of the organization. Emphasizing the farsightedness, knowledge and wisdom of the found- ers of the country in setting aside the District of Columbia for “the greatest capital city in the world,” Representative Yates congratulated those present for being fortunate enough to represent such a city, and sald that from his own personal ob- servation he knew of no like body in the United States who had a bet- ter right to carry their heads high, aware of the fact that they were rendering their best service to the citizens of the national city. Calis for Aid From I'mblfe. Representative Kelley stressed the necessity of unity and co-operation, ‘not alone h§ members of the police department, but by every individual, orgarization and community that is|H: working for the betterment of the common good of the country.” He, t0o, paid high tribute to the thor- oughness, efliciency and general de- portment of the District police, and said that he was heartily in favor of the pending legislation for granting members of the police and fire de- partments leave of absence along the same lines as that enjoyed by other government employes. He said fur- ther that he would be glad to see the uniforms of both departments sup- plied to the men. Maj, Gessford, superintendent of the local police, spoke in the highest terms of the benefits derived from the assoclation. saying that he had alwaymbeen in favor of it, and plead- ed with his men to use their every offort to make membership of the organization 100 per cent. He con- gratulated the men for the co- operation now being displayed in the department, and said that the as- soclation was in no small way re- sponsible for the good feeling prev- alent among the men. Decries Attacks On Police. Lieut. Shelby, superintendent of the Police School, decried attacks re- cently made by “certain persons on the morale and efficiency of the local police department.” and said that if # proper analysis of the records were nade it would be found “that there i& not a more efficient, more on-the-job set of men, giving value for the pay received, in any large municipality in the United States than the police department of the i District of Columblia. “There is a plethora of crime all over the countrs,” said Lieut. Shelby, “but that does not mean that the police are jto blame. Daily we read of graft, boof- legging charges and other forms of crookedness attributed to police depart- ments of other cities, but not yet have 1 heard one breath of scandal along such lines even whispered about the de- partment that represents the city of Washington.” The speaker was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his ad- dress. C. L. Dalrymple, president of the or- ganization, opened the meeting, and, after announcing several matters per- tinent to the force, turned the gavel over to George W. Sollers, secretary of | the association, who _introduced the | speakers. Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, head of the woman’s bureau of the police de- | partment, and a corps of policewomen were present, as were wives of many policemen.
