Railroad Laber Beard whenever they
come before that body with a dispute,
providing they can prove te the beard
that their membership contains n ma
jority of the men then at erk en tl.c

mere thnn a score of telegram from

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

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.

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

estigutien wns net Inte official State

the heat and the rawness of the first
day in camp.
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

mixed with the old army favorites. The
Philadelphia outfit specialises with the
ancient "Hall. linn, tne unng a au

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

here were William H. McClaln, of the

Meanwhile the guardsmen are having

One nmbltleus pony had been tied te a
