é COMRADES IN GRAY | HARK BACK T0 'S Ex-Confederates, With Thin- ned Ranks, at 32d Annual Reunion in Richmond. s the Assoclated Press, RICHMOND, Va., June 19.—Reliv- g in memory the hopes and fears of ‘81 ‘and Richmond today opened wide her gates and with low and ad- miration welcomed the surviving ha.ad of gray-coated men who by their valor made immortal the armles of Lee and Jackson. Hundreds who rallied about the brilliant Stuart, many who charged Wwith the gallat Fornrest, some who trailed with dashing Mosby, other’s who were the gray navy's seamen— men who drew sabers, shouldered muskefs and cannonaded under the leadership of famous southern chief- tains, are assembled here for the thirty-second annual reunion of thej ted Confederate Veterans. From tite hills of Maryland and the valleys ! of Virginia, from the yellow sands of | tie Texan plains, from the gulf wa- ters and even from the shores of the r Pacific, they have come logether in to worship at the shrine of an orgotten cause—in the city that once was their beloved capital and the heart of an ever-to-be remem- bered confederacy.

The pro- gram for the celebration is & full one and most of the functions are to be held in the fair grounds, where, on the day the Presiden makes his formai address, it is expected that fully 100,000 persons may be present.

We have also been gratified to note that the press has made an_unusually successful effort to record the facts of this conflict. Nevertheless, nothing effectual has been done to bring it to an end. “In spite of the desire of the gov- ernment to avoid interference in the controversy, it has become necessary for the Secretary of Commerce to re- Qquest the operators in the non-union fields and the retailers not to take undue advantage of the situation by excessively Increasing the price of coal.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, ;une 19.—Three factors will win Victory for the miners and railroad men In a com- mon_strike, {t was predicted today by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, who will meet tomorrow night with rail union chiefs, to consider joint strike action in the threatened rafl walkout of approxi- mately 1,000,600 men. Joining_of forces of these organi- zations, Mr. Lewls said, would first have a marked moral influence on la- bor generally; second, would disl®- cate the transportation system of the nation, and third, would affect the in- dustrial fabric. Colncidentally with the statement of Mr. Lewis, ten railroad wunion presidents made public last night a letter to the labor board announc- ing their Intention of golng through with the strike in the event one is authorized by the vote of the unions’ members. B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employes’ department, stated that the vote being cast so far has been OVEr\l'he]mln‘Fy for a walkout. Mr. Lewis sald that all industry is| largely a matter OY transportation | and approxhnately one-third of the business of the rallroads is hauling | coal, “A strike of 1,000,000 or more rajlroaders,” he dontinued, “would thus cause such a dislocation of all industry that the country would soon | be prostrated and the railroad and | mine corporations would come to terms with their workers.” i “Becauseé of the long hauls” he added, “the character of the high-| ways and thelr number and the na- | ture of the tonnage to be carried, auxiliary transport facilities, such as motor trucks can not be used effec- tively as strikebreaking agencles in America as they were in Great Brit- ain and other countries, France, for instance.” The reflroad union heads, in their And wear summer. wage. civilian letter, declared they had done every-,to be completed by next Sunday, fivd thing to avert u strike, asserted there | ey an frolm the Rallroad Board's decision cutting wages and altering working conditions and reiterated their statement that rail- road employes under the transporta- tion action are entitled to a,“living was no appeal Rallroad chiefs were marking time today while employes of the roads were marking strike ballots. By July 1, $186,000,000 In wage cuts ordered by the United States Railroad Labor Board become effective, the strike referendum will-be completed anl the nation will probably know whether it faces an actual rail strike and a threatened transportation war. Developments of the last twenty- four hours included: Hooper, A statement by Ben W chairman of the Rallroad Labor Roard. predicting an adjustment of the railroad situation without a strike | and peace on the roads by next fall. Statements to the board by leaders of the rail unions condemning the wage reductions and serving notice that a strike, if favored in the ref- erendum will be sanctioned by the union chiefs. 1 Word from Washington that Presi- | dent Harding intends to back the | board, which has no power itself un- | der the transportation act, to en-! force its decisions. Gradual abandonment by the car- | rlers of their system of putting work | out at contract, a system which has ' Leen one of the barriers to peace, was predicted by Mr. Hooper. Following the lead of the Southern Pacific, oth- er roads are expected to speedily do | away with lubor contracts, the board chairman said. ! Referring to churges by a leading railroad periodical that the hoard was completely dominated by the wishes T labor organlzations, and to more resent accusations by the unfons that the wage reductions were a “mis- carriage of justice,” Mr. Hooper as- serted that a “discriminating public will find the truth at a point about half-way between these two ex-| tremes “1f the unfons and the railroads respect the dectsions of the board a fair-minded® public will® stand for nothing else,” he declared.
