The first news that the strike order had been recalled reached the presi- dent’s train last night after ha ho? retired and he did not hear of it until Jjust before his train enfered the cuu= itol. As he shook hands with members of the trgin crew and told them good- bye the ®resident said to a group of them: Glad Strike is Off. “I'm glad the strike is off, and so are vou, aren’t you?” The men smiling nodded assent.

Ehm president of the Order of Rallway Conductors, said that the unions had decided to call off the strike because of “the growing public opinion that the strike would be against the Labor Board, and consequently.the govern- ment, and not against the rallroads. “It was evident also that the entire Washington administration was op- posed to us and that we have had lit- tle chance of gaining our objectives,” sald Mr. Sheppard. “We called this strike to gain cer- tain rights to which our men were en- titled,”” Mr. Sheppard told the Asso- ciated Prees. “It soon became evident. however, that the roads were succeeding in their misleading propaganda to the effect that we really would be striking against the government. “This raijlroad propaganda found-its way to the United States Railroad La- bor Board. This government agency. told ua that it would look on a strike as against it and the go t and not against the roads, and that the full force of the government would be brought to bear against us if we walked out. Under such circumstances there was nothing to do but to annul our orders for the October 30 walk- out.” NO FAKE PRESCRIPTIONS. ‘Washington, Oct. 28.—Questionabls prescriptions for so-called medicinal liquor “will have rough sledding” Pro- hibition Commissioner Haynes an- nounced today on return from a sur- ' vey of prohibition enforcement in Kentucky and Ohio.
