TlVhlnjtten, .Inly '22. In nn effort
te bring about resumption of mining
operations In the anthracite cenl flcltli,
n conference. In which Jehn tt. T.ewK
head of the I'lilted Mine Worker. N
j expected te pnrtlclpnte, will be held
Monday, plther In Scrunteii, l'n., or
New Yerk, Jehn V. Utirknn, Mnyer of
Scranton, nnnennrrd tedny nfter he
had conferred with President HurdliiR
( regarding the situation.
Mr. Diiikun is one of live Mityer
, at cities In the nnthriiette region of
Pennsylvania who hns been neRuttiitiiiK
with miners' repiesentntlveH nnd opem epem opem
ters in an effort te brltiR nhent n re re
dumpteon of operation. The Scrnnten
Mayer hns conferred with Mr. Lewis
and said tedny he was certain the
miners' lender would attend the con
ference. He added he did net knew
whether operators would be present.
Mr. Durknn said he hud none ever
the ntlre situation with the President
and had explained te lilm the plan he
and his colleagues had in mind for
bringing ubeut n cessation of the nn-
' thraclte suspension. He declined te
disclose details of their plan.
"The outlook is very bright," s-nhl
Mr. Durknn after his Interview with
the President. He expressed confidence
,j that substantial progress would be made
; at Monday's conference. After his In-
J tervicw at the White Heuse, Mr. Dur
kan returned te Scranton,
Pettsvllle, Pa., July 22 Although
It Is stated that some anthracite cea!
cempnntes have asked (lovcrner Sproul
for protection in opening operations, no
resumption is planned in any part of
the Schuylkill coal fields next Monday.
Later en, if the plans in the. bituminous
regions prove successful in the opera
tion of mines, nn attempt may be made
te open up stripplngs and wnsherles,
from which considerable eetil can be
produced.
Miners' lenders, however, say the
amount of coal thus produced would
have no material effect in breaking the
strike, with the main tonl-preducing
centers idle.
"The (01 shortage would continue
te increase enormously, every day, even
' with these few plants in operation,"
declared lenders.
The departure of State National
(itiard units from this region tedny,
with tiikets for rnllreud transporta
tion for only one way, the men net
having been furnished with any trans
portation for the return trip, wns re
garded ns significant. The opening of
' only the strlpperles nnd washerles is
net expected te provoke the mine unions
te withdraw the pumpmen nnd mnlnte-
. nance crews, who are keeping the in-
i terier of the mines in condition.
Harrlsbtirg. July 22. Following the
depauure jesterdny of 1100 National
(tuurdsmen, including many overseas
veterans. Inte the soft -ee.il fields of
Southwestern Pennsylvania under or
ders from Governer William ('. Sproul,
came a request for protection from the
opeiaters in the hard-coal fields.
The guardsmen had no mere thun ar
rived at their destinations when opera
tors, some from the hard-coal coun
ties of Northumberland, Schuylkill and
I.uzerue, telegraphed iisiurance of
readiness te reopen their mines if pro
tection were given re them.
R. R. Laber Beard
Is Still Helpless
Centlnunl from Pace One
gored" Is vermeil ir. the fact that it
has been hut a few weeks since the
striking shepmen themselves were
roundly cursing the Laber Heard be
cause Chalrnin.n Heeper tiud "outlawed'
them for striking or lu words te that
effect.
Samuel Gompers In his plea for u
parley between the railroad executives
nnd their empleyes by command of the
President refers te Mr. Heeper's tri
bunal as the "Helpless and nil but
defunct l.uber Heard." Ami that ubeut
describes the sentiment en both sides
here in Chicago.
The rallreud executives, I discovered,
have little of commendation for the
beard. They regurd it largclj as a pro pre
labor, pre-union tribunal with mighty
little te be proud of. This is nn im
i personal opinion, inapplicable te its
members, but vviiell.v applicable te its
powers.
As a source of appeal It Is rarely
bothered by the railroads, simplj be
cause it has no power te enforce its
decisions. As one official described It,
"It Is u tribunal for show ; it is a mere
shell."
Of all the hundreds of rases passed
upon, examined or adjudicated b.v the
Italireud Laber Heard, nut mere than
eight in every hundred arc can kd up
te it "by the railroads. The ether
ninety -two are appeuls made b.v the
various unions, brotherhoods nnd as
sociations; complaints against the
reads.
Laber's view of the bnaid s ll.at it's
geed enough in its waj, notwithstand
ing that its decisions arc ver.v largelj
given In favor of the appcllunts.
The purposes of tne Transportation
Act in creating this tribunal were de
feated when the politicians In Congress
emasculated the act by depriving It of
authority te enforce its decisions by u
penalty.
The mission of Chairman Heeper te
Washington Is understood te be for the
purpose of conferring with the I'leM-
dent and his Cabinet, and with Senater
. Cummins, one of tne authors el tin
Transportation Act.
jt A railroad eUiclal. commenting en
this, ipinnrked: "Something's get te
I be done quickly te untangle this In-
dustrlal snarl. It isn't enlj the qups
I tien of keeping trains moving and get
ting cnl mined, but there Is an elec
tion approaching and the Hepublhan
Party's get te stand the gaff. It Isn't
only rails ami coal, but it's congres
sional and senatorial Feats that are
in danger."
Jewell Net Culled
There was an untraceable rumor In
J circulation .vesterdnv afternoon that 15.
M. Jewell, leader of the striking shop shep
men, had also been summoned te meet
the President.
Enihntle denial was given this when
I called at strike hcadquaiters. Mr.
Jewell, I was informed, hint net been
summoned te Washington and vvus net
llkelv te be
"Hut why shouldn't he he invited te
irert the President and discuss the sit
uation?" I asked.
"Hecattse if he were Invited It would
be nn admission by the President that
h's Laber Heard was e rank failure,
and lu Its place he had found It neces
sary te lake the situation In hand."
There Is no nresnect that thp nren-

riving at nn adjustment will find en en
ceurngement or Indersement from the
heads of the craftsmen, Mr. Jewell and
his associates.
They have already declined similar
offers from the Northwestern reads and
no exception. I nm authoritatively In
formed, can be made in thp ensp of the
Hnltlmerc nlid Ohie. These railroads
that nre anxious te negotiate with their
striking emple.ves must use their in
fluence with the ethers that they also
ngrcp te u parley.
It must be all or none.
Must Defy Heard
The Haltimere and Ohie officials
therefore must adept the "Pennsyl
vania plan" and deal with their men
en masse and in defiance of the Lnber
lieai'il and the union 'I'hern nnmmi-u
te be no ether way of "discussing the I
situation with their employs." I
In addition te thp question of
"FPiiierlty." the right of the strikers
te resume their old places en thp pen
sion rolls nnd in shop precedence if
they return, the ether barrier te a set
tlement of the strike Is that of region
al beards of adjustment te settle ques
tions of wages and conditions.
Mr. Jewell nnd his strikers demand
one national beard of adjustment that
will have nation-wide jurisdiction in
stead of several beards that will func
tion only In certain territory.
Here is presented another example of
the spineless character of the Trans
portation Act. It docs net say em
phatically that there "shall be" regional
ler national beards for the adjustment
et wages una similar subjects, but it
substitutes "muy" for the imperative
"shall" and does net specifically indi
cate their territorial limitations.
It has net jet been explained by
these insistent advocates of a natiennl
adjustment benrd, Mr. Jewell and Tils
executive council, why the "Hig Four '
Italireud unions should adept regional
beards of adjustment in preference te
one national body and the shepmen
.hetild velii'iiientlv reject the proposi preposi
tion. Twe Kesienal Heards
There arc tvve ie-;iennI beards for the

Identical, and jet what H advnutngeeiis
ter the train brotherhoods is inimical
i te the interests of the sliepcr.ifts, ac
cording tu their leaders,
i There was a long session of the
' executive teuncll of the federated shop
. rafts held jesterdaj at strike heud
i (iiinrleis. Nothing was given out for
publication, though Mr. Jewell stated
that n lengtlij statement was in course
of preparation In answer te many of
the questions ind situations that have
arisen during the last week. This will
be given te the Sundaj papers for pub
lication. The strike of the shop einfts is tee
1 eung jet te have left an mark of fl-
nanclal (listless among Its members.
This phase will scarcely he apparent
I for several weeks should the strike last
that long.
' Ne Kcncilts Paid
i Ne union benefits are being paid te
' the shepmen. I was Informed at heud
, quarters. Such a thing Is net possible
when the entire btotheiheod is out and
'nothing coming into the treasury. In-
formation iecelve.1 lit re Is thnt a strike
of shepmen in t'niiiidn. similar te the
one In progress u the United States
and for the same general muses, is im
pending. The shepmen's brotherhood is
, an International oiganlzutlen. and if a
walkout uctess the line does takt place,
, it will be under the general management
of the executive ethcers here.
Verj .inflicting statements regard
ing the iiirtailment and annulment of
trains are being received at the rival
headquarter". It rs generally under
stood that the lilnch is helin- f..lt ,.,..!
i trains in IncrensIiiL' numheix nr .'ii,i
' taken out of service.
it is estimated that a total of IlfW)
trains, suhirhun and lliteistate, have
been uiinnlled since the still;., began.
On the ether band, r -ports indicate
that some trains have been restored,
hut the number Is negligible As I
indicated in mj dispat. h of jesterdaj,
the maintenance of vvaj men' ,sl.'2,()6e
in number, have decided net te strike
at this time.
The grand ledge effuers at their
meeting In Detroit jesterdaj-, accord
ing te leiig-.llttunce telephone messages
reclve.l here, accepted the iciert of
(irnnd Piei-lijent Edward F. (j ruble,
and nilepteil his views, which were
opposed te a walkout at this time.
Although till outcome was antici
pated it Is nevertheless a blew te the
strikers' muse.
Today every interest involved has
Its ejes t timed Washington-winds. It
is pretty jciieully believed that the
President will use his inl nonce with
the railroad executives te have them

The Baltimore and Ohie
Railroad Company
Office of the President
Baltimore, Md.
July 21, 1922.
TO THE PUBLIC AND EMPLOYES:
A large proportion of the men employed by the Baltimore and Ohie
Railroad Company, designated as the "Shep Crafts," left the service of
this Company by concerted movement at 10 o'clock A. M. en July 1st.
The strike which began at that time en practically all of the railroads in
the United States still continues. The absence of such a number of skilled
and unskilled men from their regular positions has, of course, interfered
with the orderly operations of this Company and has placed an unusual
burden upon the officers and empleyes who have remained loyal.
The Baltimore and Ohie Company has already employed a large
number of new men and a much larger number were available and would
have been hired had net the Management desired te avoid, or at least
postpone se far as possible, filling the places of its former empleyes with
ether men. The failure en the part of local authorities at some points en
the line te preserve order and protect these desiring te work also influ
enced the Company net te send mere men until protection could be assured.
Even under conditions as they new exist, the business handled by the
Baltimore and Ohie Company yesterday, the 20th of the present month,
was larger in volume than en any day since the strike began. The number
of leaded cars handled yesterday was 80 per cent of the number moved
daily en the average during the month of June.
There are no matters in controversy between the Baltimore and Ohie
Company and its empleyes that cannot, in my opinion, be settled and
settled promptly by a conference called for that purpose. The Baltimore
and Ohie Company would much prefer te keep in its employ the men
who have been in its service, many of them for years, and who are familiar
with its working conditions and requirements, and I am confident that if
a conference could be had between representatives of the mfen and the
officers of this Company thnt the present unfortunate situation could be
quickly cleared up, and the Company earnestly invites the men te join
in a conference for this purpose.
In addition te the protection which the local public officers have
afforded, there has new been added the further protection of the Federal
Government through the issue of injunctions by Federal Courts at points
where the upholding of law by local authorities has proven te be difficult,
consequently a much mere orderly condition new prevails ever the entire
System.
We new have assurance that the men engaged in the performance of
duty will be protected from violence and intimidation. It will therefore
be much easier te obtain additional men such as may be required. Unless
these who left their positions are willing te return te work without further
delay, or are willing and able te promptly join in such a conference as is
suggested, it will be the duty of the Baltimore & Ohie Company te take
such, ether steps as may be necessary and still possible in order te resume
normal operations. I feel confident that if a conference can be arranged
and if the parties te such conference are willing te approach the matter in a
spirit of fairness and with a sincere desire te effect a settlement, a prompt
and satisfactory conclusion can be reached. The Baltimore & Ohie Com Cem
pany, for which I am authorized te speak, will approach the matter in
that spirit.
The public has a right te expect all of us te make every reasonable
effort te bring about an early settlement of this controversy in order that
we may thereby be enabled te give te the public the service which it has
a right te demand and expect. u.u n
DANIEL WILLARD,
President, the Baltimore & Ohie Railroad Company.
