WASHINGTON. April 10. Orders
went out today to United Statos dis
trict attorneys to investigate the "un
authorized" railroad strikes in their

R , nouncement said that such "joint nc-
I tion" would be unlawful. He added
I , that tho federal government would
I ' take no stepB until-a careful inquiry

Confident That Increase in Pay
Will Be Granted By New
I Wage Board
CLEVELAND. April 10 Y. G.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, today issued tho
following: statement rognrdinc tho na
tionwide strike of railroad yardmen
and switchmen:
"Tho situation at Chicago is con
stantly improving and those In charge
of tho five brotherhoods thcro report
daily gains, and hopo that more of the
thinking members of tho organiza
tions will return to their former po
sitions very soon.
"It is believed tho mombors will
recognize that the only hopo of se
curing additional increase in pay to
which they are entitled and which we
are confident will be granted by the
labor board recently created by fed
eral law, just as soon as that board la
appointed by President "Wilson and
for them to return to work immed
iately. Tho fiftoen railroad labor or
ganizations have entered Into and
signed an agreement to present thoir
wage demands to such board accord
ing to tho law, and it is unreasonable
to expect that any increase will bo
granted except by the board, and In
accordance with the federal law. It Is
equally certain that whatever bene
fits are secured will come through tho
authorized committees of tho estab
lished labor organizations."

Religious Prejudice Condemn
ed by Republican Candidate
For Presidency Nomination
CHICAGO April 10. No man is
fit to hold high administratlvo office
in this country who had any narrow
religious prejudices, General Leonard
Wood, candidate for tho Republican
nomination for president, declared
tonight in an address..
"We want a government run with
out prejudice to race, color, or a
man's religious belief," General Wood
said. "Wo aro a people who come
I from all blood strains and wo have
I men and women of nil religions. It is
vitally Important that wo as a people
hold on to religion. Wo must never
drift away from it. A people -who
abandon thoir religion aro a pcoplo in
decadence.
"Personally I am a Protestant but
I served many years among Catholic
people, I have many friends among
thorn and received at their hands
strong support In handling difficult
questions In Cuba and elsewhere. That
support camo from them not as Cath
olics but as citizens.
"Roligion should ,not enter Into po
litical life. We must mcasuro citi
zenship not by a man's religion but
by tho way ho .discharges his duty
and lives up to American Ideals and
standards."

Explained by Gerard
NEW YORK, April 10. Tho recent

Hoover was the only man fit to be our
president," declared James W. Gerard,
In an address here tonight at the Jef
ferson Day dinner of the national
Democratic club.
"At the Jackson Day dinner in
Washington, I advocated the nomina
tion of Hoover by the Democratic
party," Mr. Gerard said. "That was
when I and other admirers of Hoover
saw in him a man who had done good
service, who seemed independent and
I who could afford to await the offer of
a nomination.
"But Herbert Hoover, a partisan,

In council, is quite another Hoover. It
