At this conference Mr. Gompers said he would place before the committee requests from various labor organiza- tions for a general strike call. While union leaders were berating the Daugherty injunction, other speakers dealt with the industrial situation in another light. Notable examples of these were the speeches of Secretary of Labor Davis at Moose- heart, 111, and Edward J. Brundage, attorney gerveral of Illinois, at a gath- ering of Chicago republicans. Davis Seores “Dastardly Deeds.” Secretary Davis declared “no gibbet can be bailt too high for those who execute such dastardly deeds as the deliberate wreckings ®f a train. at Gary.” A way would be found, he said, to settle ‘industrial disputes without force. _.abor, he declared, had successfully resisted attempts to lower wages, and a continuation of high wage levels would bring pros- perity. \ gathering at Atlantic City to- Disorders Go On.

That is, a four- month suspension of production in conflict between employer and em- ploye brings the public in as the largest sufferer. The public is the victim of infinite loss; uemployment extends from it not only to the work- ers in the industry, but to hundreds of thousands outside of it; great dam- done to commerce and indus- try; public healty is Jeopardized and }a vast wave of crime and defiance of the law has ensued. Public H: “Yet tne public has no voice in the negotiations and cannot express it- self as to the right or wrong of the matter.

TUnless Attorney General Daugherty modifies. the phraseology of the tem- porary injunction which he has ob- tained against the railroad shopmen severe criticism of his course is in- evitable in the-United States Senate.

L INJUNCTION Talk of action against the railway executives persists, but mostly on the theory that the government will en- deavor to even things up by appear- ing at least to be as strict with one side as the other in the controversy. While there is no certainty that a federal court would grant a tempo- rary injunction against any railway executives, the hypothetical discus- sion is based on the idea that the Interstate Commerce Commission hav- ing reported that locomotives and railway eguipment is not normal, a restrainifig order might be asked for enjoining the roads from running any trains with defective equipment. Mr. Daugherty in his address to the fed- eral court in Chicago last. week | stressed the abnormal condition of irallw.y equipment, and this more |than “any other circumstance has given rise to the speculation that the Department of Justice was planning some sort of action to prevent danger in the operation of trains. Incidentally the attitude of those railway executives who have, contrary to expectation, failed to rejoice over the injunctior against the shopmen, but have argued that it was unde- sirable, is no longer puzzling people here. 'To a certain extent they are right in their supposition that the in- junction process,would be a stimulus to labor and help the shopmen. Up to a few days ago the railway execu- tives felt that they were slowly crush- ing the morale of the strikers and ‘would soon bring them to terms. "All Labor Roused.’ The interjection of the injunction issue has aroused Samu€l Gompers and the whole labor world and made it gasler presumably to collect funds to/support the striking shopmen than might otherwise have been the case. Mr. Gompers has made the issue a broad one, affecting all of labor, and is exhorting the entire labor constiju- ency in America to help the strikers. Talk of a general strike was prob-|_ ably an effective way of advertising the importance of the issues involved #0 as to bring all labdr together in the moral fight against tne iyunction, but while the chance ¢t ordering a general strike ‘is remote, the Ameri- can Federation of Labor has already accomplished its pui by. the ru- mors: It has intensified the feeling of its members and given the striking shopmen czuse. to belleve the: ot-!hl thefr strike with n-ll’mm i Support them. o‘m:r.t&l why Mr. Dau, f may ask for & leas fident Agreement Will Be Ratified. | the coal industry, while primarily a| the Pennsylvania state, fuel commit- | handling hatd coal dis- | ARMISTIGE ASKED BY GREEKS; ARMY | ~ ROUT COMPLETE {Allies Asked to Intercede.

Cutting of the school estimates for the next fiscal year to the figure set by the budget bureau will be i possible, public school authorities will tell the District Commissioners in a comprehensive statement which as virtually completed today by Supt. Frank W. Ballou and other officials. The statement will be transmitted to the Commissioners immediately after the board of education approves it at its meeting tomorrow afternoon in the Franklin School. Chagrined at the continued slash- ing of the school appropriations, which has resulted in the serious lack of ‘housing accommodations for the ever-growing school population, school officials will explain in the let- ter of protest to the Commissioners that they have reached a point where they will no longer condone such drastic reductions in their estimates as ordered for the next fiscal year. They xlso will defiantly point out, it is understood, that they cannot con- scientiously reduce their budget to $5.500.000, as instructed by the bureau of the budget through the Commis- sioners. 88,400,000 Original Budget. The original budget of the schools for the next fiscal year totaled $8.400.- 000. The principal item it contained was a building program designed pri- marily to relieve the overcrowded condltions in the high schools. The reduction ordered by the budget bu- reau will preclude the carrying out of this construction program. I other words, it will barely provide for the salaries of the 2,200 teachers and the maintenance expenses of the school system. The statement will specifically point out that it is the desire of the school officials to co-operate in every way with the Commissioners in reducing men promptly notified Tom Garrisonel the school budget. and will outline Detafling “Shorty” and Thurston to watch the rear of the store, with strjct orders to shoot to kill if any burglar trled to escape, Garrison started in to smoke out the supposed desperado.
