CHICAGO, Qctober 22.—Officials of wnions with more than half of the rail employes of the nation in their mmembership tonight announced that their men -will not be authorized to Join the “big five” organizations in the strike called for October 30 in pfotest of wage cuts. ‘Announcements that they would Mot join in a walkout came from eight of the eleven “standard” rail unions, which for a week had been withholding their final strike decisions. eithough in most of them the members had voted overwhelmingly to quit work rather than accept a recent 12 yper cent wage reduction authorized Ly the United States Railroad Labor Foard. Only one of these eleven Rroups now is determined to stand by the “big five,” it was announced, Lut two others have mot yet taken final action. Clerks Oppose Walkout. Officials of the clerks said tonight that they probably would not author- ize a strike at their meeting, sched- uled tomorrow, thus indicating, union Jeaders said. that a strike, if it ma- terfalized, would affect less than one- fourth of the country’s railroad em- ployes, beiig confided to the switch- men, the conductors, the firemen, the engineers, the trainmen’ and the teleg- raphers.

First Strike Begina. The first strike began at noon on the International and Great Northern, # Texas line, where 600 trainmen etarted a walkout, which, union lead- ers declared, would be 100 per cent cffective among members of their or- wanization, aithough officials of the yoad insisted only . freight service would be impaired. Tarbulent Scenes Enacted. _The shop crafts decision, which waus said to be instrumental in bring- ing about the action of the two other [noon today, are being replaced by | zroups, was rcached after turbulent sessions of the conference committee of 100, lasting several days. Repre- sentatives from distant sections, fired by the brotherhood's declaration, pro- tested against further delay in- call- ing a strike, which was authorized by a vote last July. That vote was taken, however, only on the wage re- duction of July 1. and leaders of the shop unions did not deem it ad- visable to walk out on that issue alone. By last night the missionary work done by Mr. Jewell and others since the bBrotherhood’s strike call had shown its effect and the committee of 100 had been brought into line with’ & no-strike policy. ° New Resolution Presenetd. ‘A special committee was appointed to draft a new report. This com- mittee worked late into the night and today presented a new resolu- tion. Heated debate ensued, but aft- er more than three hours of argu- ment the resolution to stay on the Jjob for the present went through. More than 500 general.chairmen, reaching here today to hear the com- mittee’s decision, left for their homes tonight to explain the committee's action to their membership. “We are not in any position to go on strike at this time,” B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, declared at a meeting of the chairmen this aft- ernoon. “To strike on the proposi- tion of & wage reduction alone, with our shop rules on the aitar of sac- rifice, would be sulcide. “Don’t be tricked into following along In a strike which you cannot settle in a manner favorable to your- selves. Move cautiously and wait until the whole question of wages and working conditions is before yo Separate Rules of Agreement. Mr. Jewell pointed out that the sirike authorized by the brotherhoods was predicated on the fact that the train service men hau separate rules of agreement with each railroad in the country. The shop crafts have no such agreements. “The real heart of this strike is the contest over rules,” Mr. Jewell said.

The frain was without a brakeman. ‘It was announced that porters would do the work of ‘brakemen on all trains. Guards armed with shotguns were stationed about the depot and about the yards today. It was said they were there not as a protection against the atriking trainmen but agalnst any lawless element that might take advantage of the situation. Officials at the division office de- clined to state what per cent of a full force was on duty and what per cent of service could be given. It was estimated there are 1,000 armed guards on the line. Officials sald no trains had been or would be canceled and that-freight would move as heretofore. % The Department of Justice yester- day issued instructions for protection of the property of the International and Great Northern railroad in Texas. A trainmen’s strike became effective on the Texas road. at noon yesterday.

The Attorney General would not say where he had been or the nature of his activities in the west, but he did say that he did not believe there would be a general railroad strike. Although decldring that he did not believe there would be a general rail- road strike, the Attorney General said that should there be one there would be no. serious interruption in the operation of trains. He declared that the government would promptly exer- cise its authority and would operate mail, freight and passenger trains. Not Discussing Meritn. Mr. Daugherty would not discuss the merits 0f the controversy between the railway trainmen and the rail- roads, declaring that “the merits of the controversy are in tMe hands of the President so far as the govern- ment is concerned, and the President is well informed and capable of han- dling the matter.” The first public intimation that At- torney General Daugherty had left ‘Washington in connection with the rallroad strike. situation was had with his artival in Columbus, his home jcity.

NEW YORK, October 22.—Metro- politan police today faced a new murder mystery, when the upper portion of a young woman's body was found by a workman in a pond near Queen's’ boulevard, Long Island City. * The body had been hacked in two above the hips and was wrapped In a package of white oflcloth. ‘The skull had been crushed by a blow on the fore- head. A linen belt was found knotted about the neck. The pool, which is In an isolated spot, was being drained tonight to facilitate search for the missing members. In several respects the case closely parallels the famlous Guldensuppe murder, which stirred the nation about twenty-five years ago. The scene of today’s find is dis- tant only a few hundred yards from where Guldensuppe's dismembered body was concealed, also in a pack- age of oficloth. In the Guldensuppe case the oilcloth was of a distinc- tive pattern, which enabled it to be traced through a store to Mrs. Nack and Martin Thorn, who were con- victed of the murder. The woman was apparently about twenty-five years old, had an abund- ance of auburn hair, and, despite having been in the water six or seven days, preserved traces of comeliness.

He has reached Raab, where royalists are sgathering about the de- throned king, ready to march with him and his army of 12,000 Ostenburg troops into the old capital of Budapest, sixty miles away. ;. After a sensationdl flight from Switz- erland by alrplane Thursday, accom- panied by the former Empress Zita, he landed at or near Oedenburg, which is under inter-allied control, and gained the renewed alliance of the Hun- garian troops.

Allies Protest. The Budapest government mean- while has received protests from the allied representatives and Czecho- |slovakia, and has sent loyal goy- |ernment troeps to serve notice on Charles that he must leave the coun- try at.once. There is a strong belief, however, not only in Hungary, but in Austria as well, that Charles' second return has a better chance of suecess than his first. It is said that the former king has been brought back through the efforts of Prince Windisch-Gratz and royal- ists, who took hope from the success of the Portuguese revolution. It is understood that Count Andrassy, who 18 supporting Charles, has received assurances from Jugoslavia and Ru- mania that they would not offer re- sistance, as “royalists must stick to- gether against republican danger,” and, “with such assurances” the Carlists assert, that they do not fear appointment of the German people over | the opposition of Czechoslovakia. the Silesian decision. This develop- ment, however, really is less important than it seems at a distance. Of far greater importance is what underlies it. Americans doubtless are bored by the Upper Silesian struggle. Succes- sive German governments have made the mistake of telling the people that the plebiscite was held to determine whether the province should be Polish or German, and that as three- fifth of the voters cast their ballots |for Germany nearly every German shouts that a partition of the province is a wicked injustice. But, accordjng to the treaty of Versallles, the plebi- scite was to show only where the Ger- man-Polish frontier was to be drawn. The treaty does not allow for a majority rule over the entire province, but permits of only the smallest pos- sible minority being placed under foreign rule.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921.

Meanwhile, the power of Stin- nes, “the’ industrial emperor, is growing. From a reliable Italian diplomatic source the writer learned today that ail the civilian, milifary and diplomatic members of the English and French mis- sions in Upper Silesia who are on leave have been asked to re- turn immediately in view of the geperal strike which has been eallad for todsy to Protest against giving Kattowitz and other Ger- man cities and districts to Po- land. 5 ‘Both: the Italians and /English fear that ‘there .will be trouble not only between the Germans and Poles, /but also between the Germans amnd the French. ' The anti-French and anti-Polish feel- ing among the Germans, accord- ing to my informant, is so intense that there is even a likelihood of a war breaking out between Ger- many and Poland. Italy, though ‘she broke the alliance with Ger- many and Austria in 1915, feels today that France is going too far in carrying eut her policy of revenge against Germany. Italy, therefore, 13 on the point of an- nouncing to France that she will no longer side with her unless she abandens her present pelicy. Supporters Organized. Adherents of the former emperor are also organized In Austria, Slo- vakia and Croatia and are encourag- ing Charles to rally the west Hun- garian troops and march on Budapest. Premier Bethlen is reported to have declared that he recognizes Charles as king of Hungary, but that Charles must undertake, if he resumes the throne, not to accept the throne of another country. Admiral Horthy, regent of Hungary, has been promised by the royalists that he will be made a prince and will receive -a big estate, according to rumors current, if he does mot oppose the immediate accession ef Charles. There are reports also that Horthy and others are either in flight or are preparing to leave if Charles approaches the capital, as expected, and these indications, as well as the general sentiment, have imbued the royalists, with confidence in the suc- cess of the new royal government. Bloodshed Feared. The greatest consternation prevails in the Budapest ministerial office while well known opponents of ex- Emperor Charles are preparing for fight, many of them disgulsing them- selves, as it s feared a restoration would not pass without bloodshed.
