E. Shep- pard, president of the Order of Rallway Conductors, and confer with the railroad labor board in an effort to end the nation- ‘wide railroad strike set to begin October 30, Prior to the conference with the labor board at twe o'clock tomorrow after- noon, the five chiel executived will hold a meéeting to discuss the situation and to plans governing-thelr ‘action they €0 ipte h'Ihe board: —— Before leaving tonight the brotherhood chiefs said they did not have the slightest idea of what proposals the labor board intends to submit to them at tomorrow’s conference. The attitude was one of en- tire “receptiveness and disinclination to disouss anything which might be prejudi- cial to any conciliatory move contemplat- ed. T. C. Cashen president of the Switch- men's Union of North America, arrived here from Buffalo late this afternoon. He accompanied the local brotherhood ex- ecutives, W. G. 'Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen; War- ren S. Stone, president uf the Brother- hood of Locomotive Kngineers; and W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen, :> Chicago.

It was announced today that the members of the advisory board of the engineets and the executive committee of the fire- men will remain here pending further in- structions from their presidents. RAILROADS ARE CONDUCTING AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN New York, Oct. 19.—Railway execu tives today took active steps to keep their lines running if the threatened rail strike materialized Oct. 30. A member of the General Managers' association let it become known that to- morrow all roads entering New York would join in an advertising campaign for workers to fill such vacancles as might occur. At the same time the Krie issued an appeal to the public for volun- teers to man cabs and platforms. Other lines also are keeping their eyes on com- muters as a possible source of labor, Railroad officials professed to be little concerned about their yard forces, upon announcement that thirty Railroad Yardmasters' association, claim- ing to have 2,500 members in the vicinity of New York, had vofed to stick. At the same time John F. Welsh, an organ- izer for the Seamen’s union, hinted that the railroads need not look to coastwise shipping lines to move any passengers stranded by»we strike, as he said mem- ers Jof the Union would refuse to man coastwise vessels in the event of a rall- road strike. Indications tonight were that further preparations would be made tomorrow by rail heads to meet the strike situa- tion. Both the General Managers' asso- ciation and the Association of Rallway Executives have meetings, scheduled. The Association of Railway Executives issued a statement asserting that the public, “the real paymaster,” could not afford rates that are necessitated by present labor costs, and calling upon all roads to publish statements of rate re- ductions made since the 12 per cent, wage cut was ordered, in order to show that the roads were making sacrifices them- seclves and not putting the whole burden on labor. TO MOBILIZE CITIZENS IN EVENT OF RATROAD STRIKE Boston, Oct. 19.—Everett Morse, pres- ident of the Boston Chamber of com- merce, in a letter to Governor Cox tonight offered the use of the chamber building and the assistance of its staff “for the mobilization of all citizens who may be able at this ecrisis to offer their services in defense of the public welfare” in the event of the a railroad strike, The directors of the chamber sent a telegram to President Harding in which they asserted that “refusal” by railroad employes “to abide by a decision of a tribunal to whom they submitted their side of the controversy’” was “subversive of all conceptions of government,” The telegram declared that railroad executives could not “bargain away the rights of the public” by giving assurances that they would not ask for another wage de- crease that #7e way to bring about gov- ernment operation of the.raiiroads was “by appeal to congress and not by a bludgeon,” and added “We can assure you that this com- munity which went through the experi- ence of a police strike will stand stead- ily behind you and ‘s prepared to endure in the maintenance of similar principles any suffering which may lie ahead.” L POPE AND KING GEORGE EXCHANGED COMMUNICATIONS London, Oct. 19 (By the A, P.).— Communications have been exchanged be- tween Pope Benedict and King George on the subject of the Irish peace nego- tiations, The pontiff in his message an- nounced that he prayed for the success of the conferences and the ending of the longdissension.

The teiegram of Pope Benedict said: “We rejoice in the resumption of the Anglo-Irish negotiations and pray to the Lord with all our heart that He may bless them and grant to your majesty great joy and the imperishable glory of b}'ing.ing to an end the age-long dissen- sion.” To the pontiff’s message King George replied as follows: “I have received the message of your holiness with much pleasure and with all my heart I join in your prayer, that the conference now sitting in London may achieve a permanent settlement of the troubles in Ireland and may iate @ new era of peace and happiness for my people.” e DID CHORES AROUND HOUSE ON HIS 106TH BIRTHDAY Ottawa, Oct. 19.—Robert Barnable was 106 years old today but he did not cel- ebrate his birthda: He did chores around the house as usual.

B Ambzassador Herrick, who narrowly es- caped a bomb explosion at his home in Paris today, apparently had not taken seriously the threatening letters received at the embassy in connection con tion of two Italians in Mas: with the sachu- setts. At least, so far os could be learn- ed today, he has never reported to the* state department receipt of such letters although he s understood to have inform- ed the department some days ago that protests agalnst the conviction of the two Italians were reaching him. No details as to the nature of these protests were transmitted. From other sources the Washington governmeiit has had some information as to the high feeling among Italian com- munists in connection with the Massa- chusetts case. Officla s here were confident that the Paris authorities would make unusial ef- forts to trace down and punish those responsible for the sending of a bomb to the ambassador. Mr. Herrick had not reported the bomb incident to the state department up to a late hour today. BRIAND MEETS OPPOSITION IN CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES Par! 1s, Oct. 19.—(By The A. P.) —The opposition in the- chamber of deputies boldly seized upon the proposed Wash- ington trip of Premier Briand as a ba is of attack in the debate on Interpellations Wwhichwas resumed today, drawing from the premier a declaration that he thought France must be represented there and ought to be represented by the president of the It council, Mr. Llody George goes, he sa! id, re- plylng to a question, “it will be a pleas- ure for me to meet him in Washington; but If circumstances should prevent him from going I do not understand why we should pre-occupy ourselves with the fact in this debate. If he does not go it will be because of certaln impossibilities. here you have to do with me, But and I consider that it s to the Interest of France that I go. “It is possible that parllament may arise obstacles to that interpretation ; it is for it to say whether I go to Wash- ington or not.” The leaders of the opposition, especlal- lyAndre Tardieu, are very active in can- vassing the chamber as the debate pro- cceds, indicating that this is to be the most determined assault yet made against the cabinet. Official circles, nevertheless are optimistic and count upon an ample majority to give the premier the neces- sary prestige to go to Washington. DIVERGEN London, Oct. 19.—(By The A. P)— Premier Lloyd George's decislon to go to the Washington conference is having T VIEWS OF SINN FEIN-BRITISH CONTROVERSY its effect upon the progress of the con- ference with Irish leaders.

New York, Oct. 19.—General Arman- do Diaz who led the armies of Italy to vietory. in the great war was welcomed to New York today with cheering unsur- passed since the city hailed the mili- tary men of America on their return from the battleficlds of France. Thousands of his countrymen shouted a Diaz’ and ““iva Italia,” with volatile ferver as the general rode through three miles of the busincss street to his hotel. Office workers in downtown sky- scrapers showered the procession with confetti, paper and flying streams of tick- et tape reviving memories of the great c;lebrauon when the armistice was sign- ed.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS AT THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY Williamsburg. Va., Oct. 19.—President Harding was n the honorary degree of doctor of laws by the College .of William and Mary today at exercises of installation of Dr. J. A. C. Chandler as president of the Institution. Mr. Harding, in an address, appealed for increased patriotic attention to the national educational system and praised the part plaved in American history by the institution, which is the second old- est colleze of the country and among fehose graduates are numbered three presidents of the United States. Before coming here, the president de- livered ai address from the spot in Yorktown where Lord Cornwallis sur- rendered the British forces of the rev- olution to General Washington in 1781 And announced to the world a .policy of anglo-American friendship for all fu- ture time. He spoke a‘'so a word of gratitude for the aid given by France in the re olution and declared the time had come for world-wide co-operation and amity among nations. That part of the Yorktown speech devoted to British-American relatioas was the form of a brief declaration of policy on which the president did not elaborate. “The triumph of freedom in the “American colonfes” the sald, “greatly strengthened liberal vilews in the Old World. TInevitably this Ifberal pub’le opinion, deliberate and grown domi- nant, brought Gre2at Britain and Amer- dca to a policy of accommodation and wacific adjustment for all our differ- ‘ences. “There has been honorable and un- broken peace for more than a century, we came to common sacrifice and en- sanguined assoelation in the World war, and a future breach/of our peaceful and friendly relations {s unthinkable. TIn the trusteeship of preserving civiliza- tion we were natural'y arrayved togeth- er and the convictions of a civilization worthy of that costly preservation will exalt peace and warn against conflict for all time to come.” Tn the general discussion of world relations which followed, the president declared Amerl participation in world affalrs “Inevitable” and volced a hope that general co-operation “to the common good” wonld usher in a new dag of international relatlonship. He sounded a warning, however, against impairment of natlonal soverelgnty in the name of International unity. Telegates were present at the Wil- lam and Mary exercises from all col- leges in the Country more than 100 vears old and honorary desrees were al- g0 conferered on Judge Alton B.

Late In the day the chief executive visited various historic scenes in York- town, inspecting landmarks of three wars.
