At the Laber Beard it was snld that mere thnn a score of telegram from workmen who represented themselves ns Among the sponsors of the new union had been received asking what attitude I the Laber Beard would take. L. F. Lorce, chairman of the Eaetrni group of enrriers, recently announced that the reads In his territory would I form new unions, nnd was undertteed I te have called a meeting of Ca'tern t rnllread presidents today te discuss the plans.

The act, It was explained, provides nothing which would justify the beard In taking any action toward recognition until the unions In question officially appear be fore the beard In n plea for settle ment of a dispute between them nnd tne carriers (Br A. The conference here today between the management of the Bnltlaierc nnd Ohie Railroad system nnd representatives of Its striking Rhepcrnfta while permitted by the national organizations involved will nef result In any separate agree ment or separate settlement of the strike en the Baltimore and Ohie, according te S. J. N. Davis, the national union official who is directing the shepmen's strike In the Baltimore district. In support of his assertion Mr. Davis read a telegram from the railway department of the Federation of Laber at Chicago, which snld: "Conference will be permitted, but no action Is authorized. " There wns some expectation that If teday'H conference does net result In peace between the Baltimore and Ohie nnd Its shepmen It may formulate plans which will be the basis for discussion at n national conference such as that requested in the telegram te President Harding yesterday.

If the union was found te be repre sentative, the beard then would have nn ether course thnn te recognize It, It was said. Factories May Clese The railroad strike, combined with tfee coal strike, was being brought home te the public today through the an nouncements of leaders in several In dustries that unless a speedily settle ment was reached closing of the plants with resulting unemployment, rationing of fuel and feed supplies, and a crip pling of public utilities service would result. Steel plants, csepeclally In the East. will be closed en a wholesale scale If present conditions continue until Au- gust, according te the head of a large steel corporation. Industrial coal was said te be unob tainable at any price In New Yerk. In unicace increases et from $e.'J.' te $16.25 a ten'ln coal prices were nn- neunceu. A shortage of coal cars In bituminous fields has caused an appre ciable decline In production. Farther spread of the walkout wns considered unlikely since the announce ment that 10,000 members of station agents' union would remain nt work, made by W. U. Neone, head of the union, nftcr a conference witli W. L. McMenlmen. labor member of the Rail Laber Beard. Dennelly testified he investigated the forgery of notes en the State. He snld he did net knew much about the notes; he said he "dropped out when Lelb was around." Auditor General LewK said the In- estigutien wns net Inte official State neteH and "money shouldn't be paid out of State funds for n personal investi gation."

Kephart wns called te the stand, arked about Randall, and said he "heard he was dead1." i He added he had been unable te le cate James, lie testified about the du ties of Dennelly, but did.i't knew whether Dennelly IHed the amount of 8000 or whether he, Kcphart, did. Dep uty Attorney General Fex then asaed permission te examine banking transac tions taken up in the nuditer's report.

Shortly after daylight, led by regular army instructors, companies and de tachments from the infantry regiments were hard at work at platoon drills and mass formations, while troops of the 103d Cavalry of Philadelphia, quartered at Colcbreok, lined the reads In all di rections. Hearse-voiced bayonet in structors railed at recrulUi who lacked the "pep" necessary In that Important part of the war gams, only te be drowned out by Uie velume of music poured forth by regimental bands from trnrlnti nwtlnnq of the ratlin. The rivalry between regimental bands Is one of the greatest amusements of the camp. Almest hourly irons aawn until taps the bands of the 111th and 112th Infantries indulge in n ree mrnlnkt time, with the latest JeZZ ttinct mixed with the old army favorites. The Philadelphia outfit specialises with the ancient "Hall. linn, tne unng a au Here," with Seuth Phlladelphlans spe cially joining in the chorus. Pennsylvania's Iren Division Is in excellent health, according te medical officers here who held sick cnll lui miMlntMv lifter breakfast. Although long lines form before the medical tents each morning, officers say ine mnjeruy nf h rnnps nre miner snrains and bruises.

They add, however, they wilt net sign tne four-State Interstate agreement that Is, a wage agreement covering Pennsylvania, Ohie, Indiana and Illinois. The operators declare they have been warned by Federal Judge Andersen, of Indiana, that they are liable te indictment and prosecution under the law against restraint of trade If they sign an interstate wage agree ment; therefore they want te make separate agreements with the men in each Stat. One of the oneratera took a shot at President Harding's coal confer ences. He snld that things would be easier but for "Washington butting In." "Hew Is Washington butting ln" he wns asked. "By having these con ferences nnd holding out hope," was the prompt answer. The operators spent the afternoon yesterday looking ever the mines and then dined nt the Auld Hetel with Cap tain Delan, of the coal police. These here were William H.
