Fitzgerald, president of the rallway clerks, had a conference ar- ranged today with the Rallroad Labor Board over iesues upon which hinged a potential strike of clerks. At Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Willlam B Roberts, vice president of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes, announced a meeting Wed- nesdey of twenty-two district chair- men, representing twenty-eight rail- roads in the east, on the questiop of wage cuts by the labor board. Reports to union headquarters to- day continued to depict an encourag- ing outlook. Additional men are join- ing the strikers, reported F. H. Knight, assistant president of the Carmen’s Union, and all others are staying out. "The strikers are still sitting tight” on the Southern Pacific system, according to the system fed- eration secretary, who reported that 200 molders and pattern makers joined the walkout yesterday at Sac- ramento, Calif.

A warrant is out today for the ar rest of a man believed to be the as- sailant of Henry B. Floyd, twenty-| six, a rpllroad strikebreaker, who was struck in the mouth and painful- ly hurt last night'when he passed outside the bounds of the Washing- ton terminal shops at Ivy City. Police of the ninth precinct, in making this announcement today, stated that there was no further trou- ble expected, and that the fight in which Floyd, who is a native of Floydsdale, S. C., was hurt was not a serious affray, but the culmination of an argument over the strike situa- tion. A few other men, according to the police, were with Floyd's assail- ant.” They did not strike him, police believe, the only blow he received be- ing the one on his mouth. Identity of the supposed assailant was not made public. Taken to Casualty. Floyd was taken to Casualty Hos- pital and his condition is not serious. Washington terminal officials declared today he would probably be ready for work again in a very short time. They did not seem to take a serious view of the affair and made no state- ment beyond saying that it did not appear to them serious and that it apparently was a matter for the local police. No additions have been made to the already substantial quota of special policemen who are ,guarding raliroad property, it was afnounced today. Fear of a riot last night brought Lisut Guy Burlingame and a nufber of policemen to the scene of the trou- ble at Ivy City. Within ten minutes’ after their arrival the situation was well in hand and conditions normal. At the strikers’ meeting this morn- ing in George Washington Hall, 3d street and Pennsylvania avenue south- east, warning was given the union men by the labor leaders that violence would not be tolerated. “We regret the affair of last night more than we can state” declared Business Representative Charles Fra- sler of the machinists’ group of strik- ers. “It is hard for us to believe that the men who participated in the fight are unionists, for we have told them time and again that such action would do nothing except hurt the cause.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. There's grave danger that as a re- sult of a conflict as to whether em- ployes of one class shall substitute for others of another craft, a general railroad strike may be precipitated The railroad brotherhoods, led by the trainmen and firemen's organiza- tions, have let it be known that their members cannot be ordered to do work which the men now on strike are accustomed to do. Some of the railroad executives take the that they have & right to order any of their employes to do any work they please in an emergency. If such an attitude is persisted in, union men now at work are expected to decline, and should they be discharged for disobedience, they will be backed to the limit by their own organizat and a sympathy strike would then be tnevitable. Rail Executives Differ. The railway executives are by no means united as to the stand they should take. Some of their number think that a general showdown would be @ benefit in the long run, as they contend that public opinion would swing away from the strikers, and that once a rallroad strike was won by the railroads, the fears of indus- trial conflict which have been for so mapy years worrying the railroads would once and for all be dissipated The seriousness of the situation thoroughly realized by the United States Railway Labor BoarZ w has adopted a resolution giving opinion that workmen of one class cannot be ordered to do the work of the strikers, but the danger lles the fact that work overlaps so muc and that it is hard to draw the line Naturally the unfon men at work c be expected to draw the line muc closer than the railway officials, w are interested in keeping their trair going no matter how the job is do The presence of militla in many regions of country is always potential source of tro e, and bo! sides aTe none too sure that the strike can be carried_on without friction The addition of strikebreakers has complicated matters on some roads In other words, as the trouble-making factors accumulate an enlarged strike area, including a gradually increas- ing number of men, is developed. Rail Danger Scented. Many of the executives, whe in their hearts are opposed to a strike and who do not want to see the present situation complicated, are do- ing everything in their power to pre- vent friction, but they scent real danger in the attitude of thoss who would insist upon substituting one class for another regardless of the admonition of the brotherhoods and ths resolution of the Railway Labor Board itself. These are the executives who are still hopeful that & way may be found to settle the present Aiffi- culty in a short time, but just as in the coal strike there are among the operators v idely divergent opinichs as to the policy that should be purs sued so among the railroads must the rallroads themselves adopt a uniform policy before it can be said that the nation is immune from a real trans- portation tie-up. Government officlals were today working over all the statutes Which could in any way give them authority to use force to assist in the clearing up of the situation. The call for fed- eral troops to protect strikebreakers and maintain order has not vet come, as the several states feel able o cope with the situation without federal aid. but any interference with the mails would surely bring the fed- eral government into the conflict. Instructions have gone forth to district attorneys to order the ar- rest of persons interfering Wwith the mails, but aside from that phase of the controversy there is doubt whether the federal government has the power even indirectly to compel the strikers to go back to work. Congress Unlikely to Act. Congress alone could make a strike on a railroad a matter of conspiracy to Interrupt {interstate comm e, but as the House has recessed and the Senate is busy with the tariff there are no signs that Congress is perturbed over what is happening {or_likely to happen. While measures of legal force are lacking, the President can, of course. use moral force and appeal to ali the leaders of the contending fac- tions to come to the White House and find & _common ground for set- tlement. This move would be taken, however, only as a last resort, as Mr. | Harding is unwilling to give the im- | pression that the United States Rail- {way Labor Board is a failure. He is more likely to advocate giving the labor board greater powers. The sit- uation is drifting along dangerously however. with both sides conceding the probability of a general strike as not altogether removed.
