STRIKING RAILROAD SHOPMEN PARADE THROUGH UNION STATION

tn said to be machinists, boiler
makers. blacksmiths, pipefitters,
sheet metal workers, car repair
men, track men and car cleaners.
What local labor officials rely on,
and what early accounts give them
hope will occur, Is a general walk
out by other rail union arms.
Picketing will be resorted to at
once, says Frazier, but here again
the greatest care will be exercised to
prevent disorder. Under decisions of
the Supreme Court, obstructionist
tactics are cause for proceedings
against union men and their officials. I
The Coronado decision as to union
liability is also being borne in niinu.
"We will station our> men in posi
tions where they can approach any
Who ?re bound for work as strike
nrtakers." he declares. "They will
rehoon with them, and point out that
they are accepting employment un
der conditions and in a situation
Which they perhaps do not under
stand."
The shopmen, in common with
the great railway brotherhoods and
other rail union groups, are be
lieved to have amassed large strike
funds for support of men who hava
Walked out. These funds were
greatly augmented last September
When a nation-wide strike was nar
rowly averted and are said to havj
been carefully husbanded in prip
tratlon for such an eventuality us
today's. Therefore the Washington
and Alexandria strikers should have
little concern for their present
financial condition, at least.
Police on Alert.
Inspector Charles A. Evans, act
ing superintendent of the Metropol
itan Police, while not apprehending
trouble as a result of the walkout,
points out that It is his duty to
take all possible precautionary
measures. He is ready to provide
Precincts Nos. 4, 5. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
ind 11, In which railway property
is located, with -additional men if
they are needed. Platoons also will
fee kept in reserve.
The special terminal police detail
to the Ivy City yards, presence of
which caused the slight disturbance
ot last night, number 150, It is said.
Various meetings of prospective
Strikers were held last night behind
tightly closed doors. Men employed
In the Alexandria shops and Potomac
yard will come together at Carpen
ters and Joiners' Hall, Prince and
Royal streets, at 11 o'clock this
morning.

The Fre? Staters captqred 170
rebels when the Four Court position
fell.
Bark to Mount Joy.
It is reported that John Robinson,
of County Tlpperary, and John Moy
land. of Cork, who had been fighting
with the rebels In Dublin, have es
caped and are making their way
through South Ireland In an effort
to stir up rebellion.
Advices from Cork say fhat the
situation has become quiet, but th?>
Insurgents are commandeering build
ings and supplies and appear to be
getting ready to open hostilities on
a big scale.
All the rebel prisoners were con
fined in the Mount Joy Jail, wher?
prisoners were formerly incarcer
ated. They were a dejected, hag
gard-looking crew. They had been
without sleep for two nights and for
three days had little food. Their
faces were streaked with grime and
their clothes torn and ragged.
Another Group Quits.
Heavy fighting broke out this
morning in Capel street when Irish
free state troops began a storm as
sault against a stronghold of the re
publican Irregulars.
After a .savage attack the repub
licans ran up the white flag. FlftJ
defepders were captured. Earlier In
the day a lull had descended upoi:
th? city and the heavy firing of tht
past three days died down to sniping
and an occasional burst of machine
gun fire.
Cork Leader Resigns.
According to wOrd from Cork,
General O'Hegarty, one of the chief
leaders of the Irregulars in county
Cork, has resigned his command.
Eanvon de Valera was the only
Republican chieftain of Importance
at liberty today. De Valera Is In
command of a detachment of Ir
regulars who occupied and fortified
the Gresham Hotel.
While the Regulars have captured
Roderick O'Connor, commander-in
chief of the Rebels, and have dis
lodged the Rebels from the ruins
of the Four Courts building, there
are still squads of Irregulars hold
ing buildings In various parts of
the city.
Rebel machine guns still command
most of O'Connell street. The irregu
lars have occupied the Granville and
Nammtn hotels, mounting machine
guns on the roofs. The rebels had
cut doors through the walls of the
houses In O'Connell street between
Parnell monument and Marlboro
street, transforming the buildings
into one continuous blockhouse.
Collins Goes Cautiously.
At 7 o'clock this morning a num
ber of armored cars drew up before
de Valera's stronghold, but did i.ot
open fire. In fact, there was little
shooting early In the day, but the
situation was tense and every one
was expecting fresh troubles to
break out any minute.
It was generally believed that *he
iVee Staters could dislodge the Re
publicans from all their strongholds
at their pleasure, but Collins wanted
to get his enemies to 'surrender, It
possible, to avoid further bloodshed.
Richard Mulcahy. minister of de
fense in the Irish provisional govern
ment, Issued another statement to
the regular army today declaring
that the government Is going to ste
the campaign to a successful conclu
sion. The manifesto said, In pari:
"We have put our hands *o this
fight In defense of the people. ;<nd
with your aid we will see It to a suc
cessful issue."
General O'Duffy, chief of staff of
the Free State army, has Issued a
warning that looters will be shot on
sight. Furthermore, drastic ao.lon
Is threatened against Republican
sympathizers who attempt to aid the
Irregulars while working in guise of
Red Cross nurses.
There has been no official informa
tion regarding the fate of "Rorv"
O Connor and Llam Mellowes, out It
Is believed that they will be tried
before a military court.

LONDON, July 1 (12:30).?The
total casualties In the Dublin fight
ing are estimated at 40 killed and 1*0
wounded, said a Central News dis
patch from Dublin at noon.
A Dublin dispatch to the Fvening
News said that Eamonn 0e Valera
was wearing a disguise. A long
fight Is anticipated by the Evening
News correspondent before order 1s
restored. Some of the Republican
detachments have Rroken up Into
marauding bands.
? Another news agency dispatch
from Dublin said that the proviaionsl
parliament has been summoned tc

The Republican prisoners frater
nise with their captors. The latter
furnished drinks and smokes for
the captured Irregulars.
The military campaign of the Irish
provisional government to subdue
the Republicans and restore order
throughout the Irish Free State Is
meeting with success everywhere,
according to advices from Dublin and
Belfast today.
Not only have the Regulars de
feated the Republicans at Dublin,
capturing their chief military lead
era and about 125 privates, but
more than 1,000 rebel sympathiser*
have been put under Arrest In

tlon of Labor. Jewell ended all '.iope
of averting the strike when he re
fused to attend a conference of the
United States Railway Labor Board
with the railway executives and
union chiefs at the Labor Board of
fices here. His defiance vt the
board's summons to attend was join
ed in by members of the executives
committee of the shopcrafts unions.
Jewell's whereabouts today were
something of a mystery. He was
variously reported to have ieft Chi
cago, and to be in conference with
his advisers In a downtown hotel.
It was certain that he was making
no move to avert the walkout ranc
tioned for today by the shopcrafts
executives.
Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the
Labor Board, which was Mocked
yesterday in its attempt to avert the
strike by the refusal of the shop
crafts unions to attend, \walted
word today from Washington as to'
the next move of the Government.
Way men Will Wait.
E. F. Orable, International presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Maintenance of Waymen. sent out
order* to his men early today to
rsmaln at their posts until further
word ia received from him. He as
sured the Labor Board yesterdov
that strike orders for hla organiza
tion would be held In abeyance until
July 3 or later.
Executives of many of the lead
ing railroads declared today- that
so far as the general public Is or,n
cernned. It will "hardly know that h
strike Is on."
The railroads apparently h<*ve no
fear of a tie-up and all trains con
tinued to operate as uaual. The
rail executives Indicated that they
would attempt to keep their equip
ment In repair with such forces as
they are able to recruit.
The general view of the situation
seemed to be that the equipment is
In condition to withstand a strike
of thirty or sixty days before traffic
would be seriously hampered.
Rail Board Facing
First Real Test
Since Organization
By International News Horrlre.
"Trains will b? kept running and
the public will be protected."
This laconic statement today by
a high official of the Government
expressed the attitude of Washing
ton officialdom generally In the
face of the strike by 400,000 rail
way shop craftsmen.
Further than that officials were
for the most part silent. Until the
?trlke of railroad workers assumes
such proportions as to interfere
with train operations, In short until
the situation la such aa to warrant
lta being termed "a public" emer
gency," Washington will lay back
and watch the Railway Labor
Board wrestle with the problem,
according to all indications.
The attitude of President Hard
ing and his advisers generally can
be summed up thus:
The Railway Labor Board is on
trial. It is the agency set up by
Congress to deal with railway wages
and working conditions. \yhen It
?peaks It is the Government speak
ing. If it falls to accomplish the
purposes for which It waa created,
then one branch of the Govern
ment has failed, and it will be up
to another branch to take such
steps as the situation may warrant.

Text of President's
Speech at Coal
Conference
nbiding relationship, to have you
frankly and fairly consider your
problem* in their relation to the
welfare of our common country.
An I'navoMable Defect.
It is pretty generally recognized
that there are fundamental diffi
culties in present-day coal pro
duction. the solution of which is
not to be found in an hour or a
day of most friendly and earnest
conference. The excess develop
ment of a producing capacity, in
both tonnage available, and min
ers to work It, has presented one
situation demanding solution, or
there will be inevitable loss of
property Interests and a train of
unprofitable employment. The
war upheaval and all attending
inflations and cxcess productions
have left an inevitable and un
avoidable liquidation. The inter
mittence in employment has made
It Impossible for mine workers,
who are only employed partial
time, to pursue t^eir trade at
wage rates adjusted to other em
ployments. No Industry is sound
ly based, no American activity
can be held secure, where em
ployment Is compensated on a
base of half time or two-thirds
of the normal, natural work pe
riod of an American wage earner.
There has been Instability of
production, attended by a fallur*
of delivery capacity, which had
reflex in speculative prices and
panicky conditions, which en
couraged profiteering, and men
ac?-d our Industries and hampered
our varied public sorvlcea.
Labor has the right, capital has
the rlpht. and, above all else,
the American public has Uu? right
to be freed from these recurring
anxieties, no matter what the
causes are. That freedom must
he established
The Government has no desire to
intrude itself into the field of vour
activities. It does feel an obli
gation to see that the common
American Interest shall not be men
aced by a protracted lack of fuol.
It prefers that the two great and
associated Interests?mine workers
and employers?should settle this
matter In a frank recognition ot
the mutuality of your Interests. If
you cannot do that, then the
larger public interest must be as
serted In the name of the people,
where the common good Is tha first
and highest corcern.
I have said that the fundamental
problems probaoly cannot be
solved in a hurried conference.
But this conference might well de
vise the agency for effecting a so
lution. This Is the purpose of call
ing you together, the beginning of
solution. Meanwhile, operations
ought to be resumed With dimin
ishing fuel supplies, with menacing
shortages as we turn to winter's
approach, with unemployment vis
iting its harshlp upon Idle mine
workers, ?nd with vast owneishlp
without return on investment. It
would seem to be the simplest
common sense to find acceptable
ground on which to resume activ
ities, with commitment to accept
the righteous adjustments which
may well be expedited In common
consent.
Bad Time to Be Radical.
This Is no time for the militant
note of the radical who would pre
fer to destroy our social system,
no time for the extremist who
thinks the period opportune to
break down organized labor. The
Government has no M?r for either
of them, but would gladly lend Its
cooperation In curbing the ex
tremes at both. More, the Gov
ernment gladly tenders you Its
good offices, In striving for right
eous solution. It has no desire to
participate In a merely temporary
makeshift. For the good of all
the people, the Government craves
a way to permanent stability, tran
quillity, and ample periods of Em
ployment at just wages, rlgn'eous
freedom for workers and righteous
freedom for ma nag em sot, and a
secure freedom for recurring men
aces of suspended activities. It is
not a question as to what faflu*
ences dominate, who wins, who
yields moat in settlement. Vhere
is an indisputable justice in all
relationships about ' which nubile
opinion never falls to be right, and
X invite you to prescribe that rela
tionship for your mutual good and
the country's common good.
You are admonished to arrive at
such understanding with mensur
able promptness, among your
selves. If ihe adjustment can lu-t
be reached by you alone, Govern
ment aid will be available at your
Joint call. t We wish you who best
know the way to solution to rcach

strike, the President Is of the opinion
that nothing can be done the
Railway Labor Board has fought Its
own fight out to a finish.
The President was reluctant to
leave Washington because of the
tangled Industrial situation. HM it
not been for the long standing
for his "home-coming' during Ma

disappointment to Marion folk that
would be entailed by his absence, It
is probable Mr. Harding would have
