- GALL FOR DEPUTIE FOLLOWS SABOTAGE 200 Sworn In After Tamper- ing With Air Brakes in New York District. By the Associnted Press. NEW YORK, Ju)y 15.—First reports of_sabotage on rallroads in the New Yerk district today caused federal aathorities to deputize 200 guards for the mails and prepare to arm a thou- sand others. United Statés marshals in New York and northern New Jersey were authorized by Attorney General Daugherty to “go as far as neces- Bary” in’ keeping intefstate traffic. Reported attempts to damage loco- motives on the Lackawanna and in- stances where whole freight trains were held up by slashed air-brake connections spurred government of- ficials to recruit deputles for stra- tegic points on all of the eleven mail- carrying lines entering the city. Mayor In Accused. Fifty deputies were sent to Jersey City. where Erie road executives de- manded protection on the plea that Mayor Hague was “interfering” with attempts to guard railroad properiy with private police. Fifteen were placed of the Lackawanna, twenty-five were distributed in the Immediaté vicinity of the city, and over one hundred at outlying “key” points. Tonight the situation was reported wefl i hand, but executives of the roads most seriously threatened by the strike urged United States mar- shals to have deputies on hand for any emergency A steady stream of deputies passed through the examination rooms at the federal building here. Each man accepted was put in uniform and armed. Instructions, before they en- trained to go on duty, were: “Re- member, you are not supposed to pro- in the yards tect railroad property all along the|. linas. Your job is to See that United States mail and interstate trains are not interfered with.” Official statements governing the two weeks of strike were issued to- day by the New York Central, Penn- sylvania, Lackawanna and New Haven roads. TEach set forth that the roads, handling more traffic than during the same period last year, were maintaining service without de- lays to passengers, mail or freight. For several days the Boston ex- press on the New Haven has reached the New York terminal several min- utes late. Today, in a fit of pique, the engineer drove into the station two minutes early. : 11_show them who's late” he sald. He was due at 6:02 am. He pulled in at just 6 o'clock.

Balloting of iesapeake and Ohio clérks’ lodges at different points on the road continued today, and droth- erhood headquarters here declared in- dications are that an overwhelming majority will favor a walkout. Tabu- lation of the votes will be completed not later than Wednesday, it was sald. CENTRAL OF GEORGIA CLERKS ACCEPT CUT One and a Quarter Cents an Hour Agreed Upon—Labor Board Had Set Rednction at 3 Cents. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., July 15.—A wage re- duction of 1% cents an hour for all clerks on the Central of Georgia rail- way became operative today, it was announced by E. U. Page, general committeeman of the clerk’s organ- ization of this system, which is not affilated with the clerks’ union of any other railroad. ‘The clerks will work ten hours be- fore overtime pay starts, Mr. Page said. in eppreciation of a smaller re- ductior in pay than proposed for clerks of other roads.

By the Associated Press. * DENISON, Tex., July 13.—More than 1,600 union strikers and farmers of Grayson county took part in a parade at Denison today held in celebration of the first distribution of foodstuffs furnished by farmers-to union men. Several wagon loads of farm prod- ucts, Including butter, eggs, chickens and corn, were given to the union men free of charge at the close of the parade. RAIL BOARD RULES MUST BE OBEYED, PRESIDENT WARNS e (Continued from First Page.) that hearings soon would be started by the Senate interstate commerce committee, of which he is chairman, with a view to initiating revision of the transportation act, so as to rem- edy faults which have been shown to exist through development of the present troubled railroad labor situa- tion. Would Set Fair Wage. Senator Cummins indicated that the first effort would be to amend the | statute so as to guarantee a fair liv- ing wage to ratiroad workers, and a second endeavor would be to provide | ruuds or by workers of the orders of the Railroad Labor Board. The lat- ter, however, will not be attempted during the present strike. It was conuidered significant that Chairman { Cummins’ determination should fol- llow closely on the conference which he held Friday _evening with the President. As indicating the growing_serious- ness of the strike situation, Postmas- ter General Work announced the in- auguration of motor truck transpor- tation of mails, the new method hav- ing been instituted between Bedford and Switz City, Ind., between which two points all mail trains have been annulled, on account of the strike. Statement Is Issued. The White House statement given out after the conference between President Harding and Mesasrs. Grable and Feick said: . F. Grable, president of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and Railway Shop Laborers, and Fred L. Feick, legisla- tive representative of the same or- ganization, spent two hours this morning in conference with the President on the strike situation. They prought to the President the first personal and official protest that the railway managers were ignoring the decisions of the Railroad Labor Board, and presented their opjections to the decision of the board relating to the appeals of that brotherhood. “The President gave the fullest possible hearing and assured Messrs Grable and Feick that they had taken the one defensible course in present- ing their case. “He assured them that inasmuch as Congress had constituted the Rail- road Labor Board for the express pur- pose of settling disputes and pre- venting interruptions to transporta- tions, all decisions must be accepted by employers and emploves alike, and assured them also that non-compli- ance on the part of railways had not been brought to his attention until the strike was called. Remedy Lies In Congress. “He explained that any inadequacy in the law must be corrected by Con- gress and cannot be effected by In- terrupting railway operations. “Messrs Grable and Feick express- ed a hope for an early settlement and declared that the proper conferences would end in such a settlement. The President assured them that every possible - conference was being sought.” Before leaving for Detroit and after announcing the call for a meet- ing of his organization's officers, Mr. Grable had this to say as to his con- ference with the President: “Our primary reason for seeing the President was' to impress upon him ] the necessity of calling a conference between Mr. Jewell and the railroad executives in order to stop the spread of the strike. We feel that this is the only way to ease the sifuation and I believe it would be effective. “The situation has become acute all over_the country and we laid befors the President a lot of facts, many of ‘which he sald had never com: to his attention. This was the first direct protest we have made to Mr. Harding, with the exception of a visit I made to him three months ago to discuss the cutting of wages. The President censured us for not comimg sooner and laying these facts before him.” President Backs Board. The Chief Executive did not fadi- cate whether such a conference as that suggested would be called, Mr. Grable said. The labor chieftain sa the President pointed to the several- times repeated pollcy of the adminis- tration, that, as a governmental body, the deolsions of the Railroad Board would be supported by the govern- ment to the limit and that any change in the law as laid dewn by the board was up to Congress. Mr. Grable expressed dissatisfaction that President Harding had not ear- lier directed the Labor Board toward an agreement between the employes and the railroads. “He {s not reluctant to tell the Senate and the House of Representa- tives what to do, but has not so di- rected the board,” Mr. Gfable com- mented. The union official stressed tha feel- Ing of the maintenance of way men that the public is too quick to protest when the employes . take action against the board’s rulings. Viola- tions by the railroad managers, he aid, g0 unprotested, because their ction hurts only the workmen, but when the. men take strong action against ‘rulings they do not like the public protests immediately because they are hit hardest then.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 15.—There will be no convention of the general chairmen of the National Association of whether or not a strike call will be is- 'sued by this -organization of 400,000 workers, T. C. Carroll, president of the { organization, announced tonight on his {return here from Loulsville. “In_view of the reported cail of a |conference by the international presi- jdent, E. F. Grable, of the grand and | general officers of the brotherhood for Inext week, I will hold in abeyance my decision on_the request of the general |chairmen throughout the councry that 1 call & gonvention of them and decide on a strike,” Mr. Carroll-said. Grable Foreed to Act. Speaking of the report last night that Mr. Grable, after his Interview in Wash- ington with President Harding had sent out notices for & -meeting in Detroit of general officers of the brotherhood, Mr. Carroll said: “I believe my disclosure that a ma- {3ority of the general chairmen through- out the nation belleve a strike should be cailed has lighted a fire under In- ternational President Grable and ac- counts for_his hurried conference Friday with the United States Railroad Labor Board and his interview today with President Harrding. It has also prompted his call for a convention of the grand and general officers of the brotherhood. Divisfon Held Fatal “I share the opinion of the great ma- fority of the brotherhood that we should strike now. If we make a settlement it would be blood money, solely because of the strike of the shopmen. And & settlement thus obtained would melt away So soon as the shopmen might be whipped, because they would then turn around and whip us, and so on the list of railroad organizations. They would take us singly by the old strategy of divide and conquer. “Not only have the members in the most solemn manner expressed their de- sire for a strike, but Mr. Grable, in writing, gave his pl word that if strike Vote carried he would issue & ction. I hold he should live up to his word and obey the membership.” LABOR BOAED ACCUSED. Trackmen’s Official Charges Trick- ery in Decisions. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 15.—Charging the United States Railread Labor Board with “trickery” and with try- ing to disrupt the Brotherhood of Mzintenance of Way Men-by paying foremen and supervisors “enough to keep them from striking,” General Chairman Parker of the joint pro- tective board of the organization claimed that President Edward F. Grable at Chicago would be “com- pelled to cdll a strike. “If we had gonme on strike with shopcrafte men July 1 it would be all over now and every one would be back at their jobs,” he asserted.

BOTH SIDES ADAMANT IN RAILROAD DEADLOCK (Continued from First Page.) here today sald-that reports from rallways in all parts of the country showed gains in the nimber of men in the shops since the strike started. The situation, the statement said, was better in eastern territory than else- where. here injunctions have been issued men have returned to work in larger numbers, - the statement sald, and added that the policy of the carriers to protect the seniority and other rights of men who remain at work has had a beneficial effect. They can- not, however, agree to any confer- ence with representatives of the strikers, the statement added, be- cause the very purpose for which such conference {8 sought by repre- sentatives of strikers, as avowed by B. M. Jewell, is to procure a settle- ment contrary to the decisions of the board. “The facts show clearly,” the state- ment concluded, “that the executives of the rallways have shown willing- ness to do everything that is reason- able to end the strike, while Mr. Jew- j€ll has indicated that only by the rallways surrendering to his demands and disregdrding the decisions of th& Labor Board can it be ended. This leaves responsibility for continuance of the strike solely upon the leaders of the atrikers. SENIORITY RIGHTS AN ISSUE. Strike Settlement in Northwest Halted by Roads’ Stand.
