WASHINGTON, July 11 (By The As
-.--?ii.ed Press"!.?Appearance of
Francis P- Garvan, former Alien Prep?
ay Custodian and now head of the
nu?ical Foundation. Inc., before the
?ptcisi war frauds grand jury tq-day
xni said in official circles to have in
so-fcrited a sweeping inquiry into
-very ?et of the custodian's office from
i:s inception. *.
I? w?s emphasized by the same of?
ficials that the investigation was de
liijntrd primarily' to establish finally
the legality of the custodian's acts and
?M remove any ground for continued
criticism leveled against the office, if
weh criticism has been unjustified.
A grand jury investisration ivas de
dared by the officials to be the only
siethod provided for In the American
system of government to clear up the
controversy definitely.
American Rights To Be Guarded
Formal assurance that "every Ameri?
can interest" in the dye patents soid
by the. Alien Property Custodian in
1919 to the Chemical Foundation will
be protected by the government was |
insie to-day by Atorney General j
Daugherty.
Denying that any person connected
with the Department of Justice had
had any communication with German i
interests or individuals regarding re- j
?very of the patents, Mr. Daugherty's i
statement reiterated that in moving j
to recover them from the foundation j
the department was merely carrying
out the instructions received from
President Harding.
The statement was interpreted as
having reference to charges made by
Francis P. Garvan?who, as custodian,
hudled the sale, subsequently assum
iajtae presidency of the foundation?
toth? effect that the demand for return
effile to :he patents had been actuated
fr German influence.
Mr. Garvan appeared before the waj
fraud* ?grand jury ?^response to a sub
pina and turned over to that body the
record of the foundation. He said later
trrancements had been made to permit
inspection of the books by representa?
tives of the Department of Justice.
Prior to going before the grand jury
Mr. Garvan said he had refused a de
Sand of Assistant Attorney General
Crim for permission to inspect the
looks on the ground that he would not
?pen them to "Germanic influences."
Daugherty Issues Statement
Attorney General Daugherty's state?
ment regarding the patent controversy
follows :
"The matter is in legal progress. I
have had no communication with any
German interest or person connected
frith any interest that the Germans are
supposed to have or have had in these
patsAts, nor has anybody in the Depart
SWnl of Justice had communication of
?ny kind with any of them.
"TVe are continuing to carry out the
resident's instructions in the matter.
"There car. be no doubt that if these
patents are returned by orderly and
due process of legal proceedings, the
President and Congress will take care
of every American interest. That ques?
tion will be entirely up to Congress and
g? President if the patents are re?
turned later voluntarily or by virtue
Of court order."
Won't Discuss Gaston Means
The Attorney General, questioned
concerning Mr. Garvan's charges that
Gaston B. Means was associated with
We Department of Justice in connec?
tion with the Chemical Foundation
matter, said that he would not discuss
?J*. Means.
"Mr. Means," he said, "seems to have
the ill win of lots of people, and I
"ink I know the reason."
Jn reply to further questions as to
whether Mr. Means had been suspend
**? from the staff of the Bureau of
investigation of the department Mr.
?"??uSherty said: "1 have not said that

-Mr. Garvan spent only twenty min

coming out dictated the following state

Paris Press Charges
Soviet*German Plots
PARIS, July 11 (By The Asso?
ciated Press) .-?Stories of Bol?
shevik plots for an alliance with
Germany to attack Poland and
Franc? are being printed in the
Paris newspapers. They grew
out of an investigation by the
police of the theft of papers from
the headquarters here of the for?
mer Russian Constituent Assem?
bly.
According to "Le Journal,"
Bolshevik agents arrived here
with the intension of suppressing
two eminent French political fig?
ures who have been particularly
opposed to the Soviet govern?
ment. The same authority de?
clares the German monarchists
demanded postponement of ac?
tion, as their preparations had
nqt been completed.

Copyright, 1922. New York Tribuno Ino
BERLIN, July 11.?The Soviet gov?
ernment moved directly into the Ger?
man situation to-day when it isssued
an appeal to the German proletariat
to overthrow the government and estab?
lish a workers' dictatorship. This call,
which was signed by the executive com?
mittee of the Third Internationale, was
published to-day in "The Red Flag,"
the Bolshevik organ, and particularly
excited the ire of government officials,
who have information that the Soviets
have been negotiating with the worst
ek-ments of monarchist reaction in an
attempt to wreck the republican
regime. By theBe means it is believed
Moscow hopes to produce a Russo-Ger
man alliance against the rest of Eu?
rope.
The appeal In the "Rote Fahne" urges
the German workers to desert both
Socialists and trade unions, and "with
sword in hand" establish a government
in the image of Kremlin. It was re?
ceived by both Socialists and trade
union members with smiles, but
aroused official indignation, as it is re- J
garded as a distinct breach of the Ra
pallo Treaty.
Weapons Worn In Reichstag
The government's anti-monarchist
legislation stirred the Reichstag to!
fever heat to-day, and many republi- !
can leaders who had been scheduled for!
assassinat-on oil the monarchist pro-1
scriptive lists discovered by the police j
appeared with revolvers in their pock- !
ets and accompanied by armed detec
tiyes. Prominent editors promenaded
the lobby with concealed weapons, dc- !
termined to defend themselves against
assault.
There appeared to-day to be an even
chance that the Reichstag would be dis?
solved because of the stand taken by
the bourgeois parties who are deter?
mined to extract some of the teeth I
from the bill to put an end to the
monarchist conspiracies. The Social
Ists, on the other hand, are determined
to resist this to the utmost. The ques?
tion fof the entrance of independents :
has so aroused the Socialist leaders i
and working masses throughout the
country as to make dissolution appear \
certain unless the Centrists and the !
Democrats abandon their position and
agree to the independents taking part
in the government, without whom an
energetic campaign against the mon?
archists seems to be impossible.
Meanwhile the debate in the Reichs?
tag on the anti-monarchistic bill con?
tinued tOrday with much bitterness,
with no Indication of a vote being
taken before next Thursday.
Strike In Ruhr Threatens
To add to the political uncertainty
there arose to-day the possibility of
the stoppage of all mines in the Ruhr
district by a general strike because of
a wage conflict between the miners and J
mine owners. The Cabinet has sent a
representativo to the scene. On the
other hand, the newspaper strike,
which has been .he source of many
wild rumors during the last ten days,
was settled to-day and publication will
be resumed to-morrow.
The political events of the last few
days en.pha--.ze more than ever the
weakness and lack of decision of the
non-Socialist parties, who appear to
have no energy to proceed against
those who are seeking tho republic's
destruction. The admittance of the
People's party into the government as
one means of strengthening the re?
public is regarded as a piece of politi?
cal stupidity, for that body's republi?
can professions, in view of its large
monarchist memb-jrship and repeated
flirting with the nationalists, are not
considered worth the paper they are
written on.
Efforts to persuade the People's
party, headed by Hugo Stinnes, to join
the government are assailed not only
by Socialists but by its own leading
newspapers, including "The Frankfur?
ter Zeitung." The attitude of the
Socialists on the situation was ex?
pressed by Philipp Scheidemann in a
speech at Cassel yesterday, when he
said: "We welcome the co-operation
of all honest elements of the bour?
geoisie. Socialist parties alone cannot
represent Germany, especially if we
take the attitude of tho Entente gov?
ernments into consideration. The Ger?
man working classes are ready to use
peaceful means to preserve the re?
public, but are willing to fiffht. if neces?
sary for protection of the republic.
Laws for the protection of the republic
are mere scraps of paper if they are
not enforced. If reactionary parties
are permitted to continue their work
Germany will find herself in the throes
of civil war."
Crisis Foreshadowed This Week
Scheidemann concluded with a de?
mand for the dissolution of the Reichs?
tag and new elections. Thus Germany
stands at the parting of the ways, and
th?s may be the decisive week when
ence for all the government and the
Reichstag must decide whether they
are willing to fight for the life of the
republic or give in to the monarchists,
who are increasing their activities.
Especially ominous are the dis?
coveries of concealed arsenals the po?
lice have made in various parts of the
country. The latest was in the Kiel
naval arsenal, where many boxes con?
taining rifles, ammunition and machine
guns "of an hitherto unknown type
were concealed, despite the close
scrutiny of the British naval authori?
ties.?.

first Mrs. Gould, who was Edith King?
don, dropped dead last November while
playing golf with her husband at Geor?
gian Court, their home in Lakewood,
N. J,
. The new Mrs. Gould, it was said last
night by friends of the family, was at
one time on the stage here. She is

Newspaper liles do not rot*al, however,
an Alice Sinclair in the original cast.
Mr. Gould and his bride will return
to this city next November, it was said.
They will pass their honeymoon at a
castle at Inverneshire, Scotland, which
Mr. Gould has leased. Upon their re?
turn here they will occupy an apart?
ment in Fifth Avenue,
Daughter Confirms Report
News of the marriage of Mr. Gould
and Mrs. Sinclair was confirmed last
night by Mrs. Carroll Livingston Wain?
wright, Mr. Gould's daughter,
Mrs. Wainright said she had received
a cable message informing her of the
marriage. She added that she and Mr.
Wainright expected to go abroad in
the fall and would visit Mr. and Mrs.
Gould in Scotland.
Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel jr., who was
Margery Gould, was present at the
wedding, it was reported. The 'other
children of George J. Gould are Jay
Gould, who sailed for Europe last
Saturday on the Majestic; Kingdon
Gould, George jr., Vivienne, and Gloria,
who s at school.
Gloria is in the care of Caroline Cor
tis, for many years secretary of the
lato Mrs. Gould at Georgian Court.
Mr. and Mrs. Kingdon Gould are now
at the Gould estate, Furlough Lodge,
Arkville, N. Y.
The Gould mansion at 857 Fifth Ave?
nue is on the market for sale.
It is believed that Jay Gould's pur?
pose in going abroad last week was to
visit his father.
Mrs. George Jay Gould jr. departed
for Arkville yesterday. She recently
recovered from an attack of appendi?
citis. She was operated on at Roose?
velt Hospital.
Saw First Wife Stricken
Mr. Gould was with Mrs. Gould at
the time of her death on the Jinks at
Lakewood. She collapsed after mak?
ing a strenuous drive. Her death was
attributed to heart disease. She was
about fifty-seven years old f.nd had
been in the best of health.
Her will was made public at Toms
River two weeks after her death. After
making certain specific bequests, it di?
rected that the estate- be held in trust
for their seven children, each of whom
is to share equally in the residue.
Mr. Gould, his son Jay and Charles
Prentice Noyes, banker and broker,
were named executors without bond.
The Gould home at Fifth Avenue and
Sixty-seventh Street was left to Mr.
Gould, as was the house at 177 East
Sixty-fourth Street, for life or until
he remarried. Mr. Gould was author?
ized to sell these properties at any
time through the Equitable Trust Com?
pany, whic hwas named as trustee with?
out bond, and turn over the proceeds
to the residuary estate.
Mr. Gould and the late Mrs. Gould, |
who was Edith Kingdon, an actress, |
were married September 14, 1886.
The professional debut of the late
Mrs. Gould was made in "The Two
Orphans" at Newark. After several
engagements she became a member of
Daly's company, playing second parts
to Virginia Dreher and Ada Rehan, and
scored immediato success.
Delay in Liner's Sailing
Debits Hotel Man's Roll
The failure of the Greek liner King
Alexander to get away on time yester?
day for Pir?us through lack of coal
put a slight dent in the pocketbook of
James Constantine, a hotel owner of
Jamaica, L. I., who with his wife and
two children was a passenger on the
vessel.
A crowd of Jamaica folk, about a
hundred in all, went to the pier of the
Greek Line, in South Brooklyn, to see
the popular boniface sail. They hung
about tenaciously for several hours
after the scheduled hour of departure,
and late in th*e afternoon, when the
sailing of the vessel was put over until
'to-day, the well wishers started home?
ward.
This didn't please Constantine at all.
They had come to see *him sail and the
honor could not go unrewarded. Ad?
dressing the Jamaicans, Constantine
said that he had arranged with the
steamship officials to have them remain
aboard as his guests for dinner.
Chicago Conference Will
DefineTrainmen's Status
After Protest Against Us?
ing of 'Bad' Equipment
Harding May Call
Leaders to Parley
Violence Continues and
? More Appeals for State
Militia Forces Are Filed
By Gilman Parker
CHICAGO, July 11.?While troops
remained on guard to-day over the
railroad shops in nearly all the mid
Western states, with increasing re?
ports of violence, involving in one
case an exchange of shots between
strikers and soldiers, the "'Big Four"
train service brotherhoods announced
tha. their grand chiefs would meet
here to-morrow with representatives |
of the Association of Railway Execu- {
tives to discuss "matters of policy"
as to the status of the train service
men.
Coincidentally, there came an an?
nouncement from B?oomington, 111., I
where there was shooting throughout
last night, that the train service men !
employed by the Chicago _ Alton?the
engineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen?had voted in afternoon
meetings to refuse to enter the road's
B?oomington shops or yards so long as
troops -continue to be stationed there. '
They will continue to operate mail
trains, the announcement said, ".but
the other trains, both passenger and i
freight, will be halted unless the road
can manage to deliver its equipment
to the train service men outside the
troop zone."
Cabinet Considers Crisis
Observers of this move recalled that
the "Big Four" were deterred from
striking last October chiefly because
their heads had planned united action
in calling a strike and therefore ap?
peared subject to Federal court pro?
ceedings involving possible imprison?
ment. Now, however, the shopmen's
strike has so affected the condition of
rolling stock that, it has been pointed
out, the argument might be advanced
that operation of the trains, on some of
the roads at least, endangers the lives
of the train service men.
Already representatives of the "Big
Four" have filed protests with the In?
terstate Commerce Commission against
the use of "bad order" equipment on
certain roads. Therefore the meeting
here to-morrow and to-day's action at
B?oomington are significant.
Another development to-day was the
meeting at Washington of the Presi?
dent and his Cabinet, where for more
than two hours the Chief Executive and
his aids discussed both the railroad
and coal strikes. It was said that with
the coal strike on the way toward set?
tlement the President regarded the
railroad strike as constituting the
chief menace to the national welfare,
and it became known that consideration
was given a plan to summon leaders
of the striking shopmen and s-epre
sentatives of the railroads to Wash?
ington in an effort to settle the con?
troversy.
Roads Seek Settlement, Report
It was reported from St. Paul that
preliminary steps for a settlement be?
tween tho shopmen and certain of the
Northwestern roads had been bejun
there. This was regarded by some o?
the strike leaders as the first break
in the ranks of the railroads.
Following the receipt here of this
dispatch it was reported that R. A.
Heming, head of the shop craft unions
in the northwest territory, had arrived
in Chicago and begun a conference on
the matter with B. R_. Jewell, president
of the railway employees' department
of the American Federation of Labor
and the chief director of the strike.
While no reports as to the progress
of the conference were given out of?
ficially, it was rumored that the shop?
men's leaders were inclined to believe
that regional settlements at this time
would be impracticable. There also
were rumors that more than one road
entering Chicago had been concerned
in settlement overtures, but, so far as
?ould be learned, the tentative nego?
tiations in St. Paul mentioned only the
Northern Pacific.
Signalmen "Work Under Protest"
Another sign of possible peace in the
offing was an announcement by Daniel
W. Helt, chief of the signalmen, that
a strike order to the 12,000 members
of his organization had been ordered
withheld indefinitely, the result of con?
ferences held by him with the United
States Railroad Labor Board. The
I agreement reached was that Mr. Helt

Wiedfeldt, Sailing, Asks Friend:
"Why Don't You Let Me Stay?"
Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, who came here re?
cently as Ambassador from Germany
ana who was mentionea as a possible
successor to the post of Foreign Min?
ister held by the late Dr. Ratkcnau,
sailed for Hamburg yesterday on the
steamship Reliance, of the United
American Line.
When the matter of the foreign min?
istry was mentioned the ambassador
said he could not discuss it because
the political situation in Germany just
now was too critical.
"All I can say now," he said, "is
that I am going back to Germany on
business of the nation and will come
back again."
One of his German friends who was
standing close to Dr. Wiedfeldt, re?
marked that the diplomat was well
liked in Washington.
This provoked a smile from the am-.
-
bassador, and he said quickly: "Well,
then, why don't you let me stay here?"
He said he would be pleased to talk
to the group of reporters around him,
but that the unsettled condition of Ger?
many made such an effort impossible.
His eyes then fixed themselves upon
a reporter making note of his remarks
and he smiled again. "No," he said,
"I cannot talk." Then pointing to the
writer with his pencil and paper he
added: "Ink is ink."
Dr. W?3?df?ldt was accompanied on
the trip to Germany by Dr. Wilhelm
Heinrich Soif, German' Ambassador to
Tokio, who also is on his way to Ber?
lin to talk things over with the Ebert
government.' , ,
Dr. Solf likewise maintained silence.
"Things are too critical ju^st now," he
..said, "and .'there, are too many rumors
flying about to warrant talking for
publication. I expect to return to
japan and will pass through America
ia-^Octob??."

Harding Warns Mailmen Trains
Must Run, Mails Be Protected;
.Move to Halt Spread of Strike
Train Equipment Is Breaking
Down, Rail Head Admits
Road delays owing to the strike of
shopmen became so serious yesterday
that for the first time a railroad offi?
cial acknowledged that the strike was
interfering with the movement of
trains. H. B. Voorhees, general man?
ager of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail?
road, admitted that breakdowns had
heid up trains on the system for as
long as two hours.
It was said at the Pennsylvania Sta?
tion that all Southern trains were be?
hind their schedule yesterday, some of
them being more than an hour late in
reaching their destinations. It was
denied, however, that the delay was
due to the strike.
A suburban train was reported' two
hours late at the Flatbush Avenue sta?
tion of the Long Island Railroad, in
Brooklyn. Union leaders asserted that
defective equipment was responsible
for this and for delays on other rail?
roads.
New Haven Train Stoned
Passengers had their first taste of
violence in connection with the strike
in this vicinity Monday night, officials
of the New York, New Haven <fe Hart?
ford Railroad reporting that the Mer?
chants' Limited on that read was
stoned as it traversed the cut leading
to tho station in New Haven, Conn
Broken glass flew about the car, bul
none of the passengers was ?nrriouslj
hurt.
Two new developments were madi
public yesterday which are likely to
hamper the carriers in their efforts to
keep their rolling steck up to the
present standard. First, a telegram
| was received at the local strike head?
[ quarters from Governor Edwards of
New Jersey, saying tfcat in accordance
! with the unios request he had ordered
| an investigation into the charge that
faulty car inspection by those who are
?taking the strikers'.places was respon?
sible for the Dunellen freight wreck
I Sunday night. Second, the local strike
I leaders sent twenty-five specific com
i plaints to national headquarters for
presentation to tho Interstate Com
J merco Commission, cac.n complaint
charging an instance In which the car?
riers have forced members of non
striking unions to do shop work
against their will. The combined re?
sult of these two moves may be to
compel tho carriers to. live up to
higher inspection standards and at
the same time dispense with one means
by which they are alleged to be main?

Interest to-day will center less
around the movement of trains than
around two gatherings to be held in
the Metropolitan district. The first
is a conference between officials of the
New York Central and representatives
of its 11,000 clerks and station men,
who are now voting on the advisability
of a strike, which would seriously

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CONCORD, N. H., July 11.?Officers
of the exclusive Beaver Meadow Golf
Club to-day were notified that any
members playing next Sunday will be
arrested and prosecuted in police court
for violation ox the Lord's Day observ?
ance laws by County Solicitor Herbert
W. Rainie. The action was taken at
the insistence of ex-State Senator
Nathaniel E. Martin, counsel for fif?
teen Sunday baseball players, who were
arraigned in police court last Monday.
Martin also has intimated he will de?
mand that all stores be closed on Sun?
days and that no newspaper or tobaco j
be bought or sold. If he desires to go I
the limit he can have all pleasure mo?
toring prohibited, for the old blue laws
are as drastic to-day as when enacted
by the Pilgrim Fathers. Martin was
Mayor of Concord twenty-one years
ago, and when objection was made to
violation of one phase of the blue
laws he clamped the lid on tight and
had Concord a "dead town" for three
Sundays Then public opinion pre?
vailed, and there was a loosening up
with a full return to the easy going
observance which has prevailed since
until ministers protested to Mr. Rainie
a week ago Monday that Sunday base?
ball was a disturbing element in the
community.
Rainie is a professional musician as
well as a lawyer and County Solicitor
and is choir leader in a local church.
He also is leader of Rainie's Band,
which has been giving concerts Sunday
afternoons at Contoocook River Park,
a resort owned and operated by the
Concord Electric Railways. He was ad?
vertised to lead his band and play a
cornet solo last Sunday, but when he
serve?! notice on the ball players that
they would be arrested if they played
again on the Sabbath much talk fol?
lowed. He did not take part in the
concert program.
Last Sunday the ball players had
scouts at the Beaver Meadow Club and
they took the names of fifty Concord
residents, most of them professional
and business n?en, with a few women
includld. These names were turned
over to Mr. Rainie, with a request that
he treat them- as he did the fifteen
baseball players. Rainie did not do
that, but did send a letter informing
Frank J. Sulloway, president, and
George A. Foster, secretary, of the
Beaver Meadow Club, that Sunday golf
is a thing of the past for the, present
in Concord.
Rainie also has had complaints that
there is Sunday baseball regularly in
Suncook, seven miles from Concord,
and the word has come from Franklin,
eighteen miles away, that there is to
b? a game there next Sunday. Both of
these towns are in Rainie's jurisdic?
tion. He has not indicated whether he
will take steps to Btop the games.
Ordinarily a crowd of 600 was con?
sidered good attendance at a baH game,
but last Sunday after Rainie had
threatened to arrest the players, more
than 3,000 turned out and contributed
liberally in the hat that was passed
around to get money to pay the fines.
The crowd and the players defied the
police when they tried to stop the game
and it went to a ten inning tie. Pleas
of nolle contendere wore entered by
the players in police court. The cases
were continued for sentence until next
? Monday. I
Mr. Sulloway treated ths letter of
the tolicitor as something of a joke
and said he had no statement to make.
He doubted if he- would post the let?
ter on the bulletin board at the club,
which is hardly necessary, as the local
papers ar? carrying the story in
"scare" heads. No rule will be posted,
the members being left to their in?
dividual inclination, in the matter of

Denies Himself to Callers

Murder Indictment Valid
Evidence Warrants Trial, in
Seeger's Opinion ; Doubts
Conviction Will Result
Walter S. Ward, slayer of Clarence ?
Peters, passed last night at home with ;
his family, following his release under
$50,000 bail from the jail in White
Flairs, where he has been since his
indictment twenty-six days ago on a
charge of murder.
More than a score of Ward's neigh?
bors, who had heard of his release,
gathered at his home to await his re?
turn and watched him snatch his two
small daughters from the hands of a
nurse and kiss them repeatedly. He
walked up the driveway and entered
his home with a girl in each arm.
"Mr. Ward is too happy to see or talk
to any one now," was tho word that
Amy Myld, the housekeeper, had for
callers. "He is with his wife and his
children, and has left word that they
were n.ot to be disturbed."
Supreme Court Justice Seeger, who
ordered his release on bond after a
hearing at White Plains, declined to
dismiss the indictment charging Ward
with first degree murder. He intimated,
however, that he thought no conviction
of murder would follow the trial.
Ward's security for his appearance at
the trial is the same which was de?
posited for him when he surrendered
to the authorities May 22, three days
after his attorneys had acknowledged
to District Attorney Weeks, of West
ehester County, that Ward was the
man who had shot Pet ors, saying that
the shot was fired in self-defense.
Wife Caresses Him in Court
Ward's wife, who occupied a front
seat during the hearing, rushed to him
and embraced him when Justice S?eger
made his decision. They walked arm
in arm to the automobile that was
waiting to take them to their home
in New Rochelle.
"I am so happy," S3id Ward.
The argument between District At?
torney Weeks and Isaac N. Mills,
counsel for Ward, as to the dismissal
of the indictment or the defendant's
release on bail became heated at times.
Mr. Mills called the murder indictment
a "blooming farce" and Mr. Weeks
talked of a "cock and bull'" story of
self-defense.
Justice Seeger, while he held that
there was an issue of fact in the case
that he thought warranted trial by
jury, said also that he thought the
prosecutor had been overzealous, had
introduced illc_3. evidence before the
grand -jury and had omitted to intro
due evidence in substantiation of
Ward's assertion that he shot ?n self
defense.
"This case is very unustfal," said Jus?
tice Seeger. "The character of it lies
in the fact that there is no evidence
of the commission of the crime except
that which is contained in the de?
fendant's own statement. If what he
states is true entirely no crin.? has

Proclamation Directs AH
Persons toReframFrom
Interference With Inter?
state Trade Shipments
Right to Work To
Be Denied to None
Appeals to the Public for
Aid in Maintaining Law
and Order Everywhere
By Carter Field
WASHINGTON, July 11.?Pres?
ident Harding to-night definitely
placed all the power of the Federal
government behind the effort to keep
the trains moving. In a proclama?
tion he warned "all persons to re?
frain from all interference" with
the movement cf trains.
Interference with movement of the
mails, regarded since the time of
Grover Cleveland as the point at
which the Federal government inter?
venes, is coupled by President Hard?
ing with interstate train movement.
The warning is against interference
"with the lawful efforts to maintain
interstate transportation and the
carrying of the United States
mails."
Before this warning, in summing
up the reasons for the proclamation,
the President said: "The main?
tained operation of the railways In
interstate commerce and the trans?
portation of United States mails
have necessitated the employment ofl
men who choose to accept employ?
ment."
Co-operation of all public authorities,
both state and municipal, and the aid
of citizens a? well, are asked by the
President, who declared that "these
activities"?that is movement of inter?
state commerce and the mails, "and
the maintained supremacy of the law
are the first obligation of the govern?
ment and all the citizenship of our
country."
Must Accept Labor Board
The President rehearses the history
of the case briefly, holding that the
United Stales Railroad Labor Board
must be accepted by both side.;, but
then deals a smashing blow at the con?
tention of the union officials b;- declar?
ing that the men who hav accepted
employment under tho er m s of the
decision "have the sam-j indisputable
right to work that others have to de?
cline to work."
Th* President's proclamation was is?
sued late to-night after a day of con?
ference*, on the railroad and coal strike
situations.
The President took the position,
which was indicated last week, that the
decision of the Railroad Labor Board
was an r.ction of the government and
must be supported b\* ?he government.
It followed reports to-day by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company of
interference with the movement of
mail trains by strikers at Flora, II!.,
where the company had equipment and
men to move the trains, but because of
inadequate protection for its em?
ployees was unable to move the mail
Use of Army Inevitable
This report, made by C. W. Gallo?
way, vice-president of the Baltimore ?S
Ohio, was given out by the Postofflec
Department early in the day, togethei
with several other reports showint
that movement of the mr.ils hr.d beer
stopped in some installes ?.-id slow??:
down in others as a result of the strike.
The most important instance was th?
?putting of 3.000 miles of the Wabast
system out of operation to-day, accord?
ing to Superintendent of Mails S. H
Cisler, of St. Louis.
Use of troops to protect the move
ment of trains, both in interstate com
merce and for the movement of th<
mails, was accepted to-night as inevit
able if the strike continues, followini
the President's proclamation. No offi
cial statement to this effect was made
but no other meaning was attached t,
the President's words by those inter
ested here.
Following is the text of the Presi
dent's proclamation:
A Proclamatioii
"Whereas, the United States Rail
road Labor Board is an agency of th
