saB: t,j&.''r; J' jsvfc v 1 I MinnrnfTHTin ILH IN 10IETOGO II MEN OPPOSED TO TIME AND OVERTIME WAGE CLAUSES. CAUTIONED BY THEIR CHIEF B. M. Jewell Warns Men Again:? Drastic Action Officials Say No Strike Will Occur. Chicago. Sixteen hundred members of the flvo federated railway shop un ions attended a mans meeting at tha Second Artillery armory to protent against tho recent decision of tha United States railway labor board. B. M. Jewell, president of tho rail way employes department of tho American Federation of Labor, was tho principal speaker and ho repeat edly cautioned tho men against un authorized otrlkos nnd urged them to refrain from any drastic action or sab otage until every effort had been ex hausted to bring about u satisfactory sottlomont with tho railroads. Tho strike vote, which has been In progress for somo time, was an nounced at this meeting. It shows that a majority of tho employes of all roads voted to accept tho wago reduc tions ordered by tho federal board In July, but tho groat obstacle In tho way of peaceful settlement Is over tho shop rules, time and overtime und other concessions that tho men and partic ularly Uiclr leaders, placo nbovo tho matter of wages. Although a strike has beon ordored by tho voto, It does not becomo offec tlvo until officially put In operation by tho union lcadora. Prlvatoly, somo of tho host Informed men In tho union ranks say there wlll'bo no strike. They point out that tho public is In no mood to tolorato a strlko at this tlmo while tho country la struggling to re gain Us foot and while hundreds df thousands of men are unablo to find employment. Thcso wiso heads In tho unions arguo that a strlko under thcso conditions would bo a bid for tho "open Bhop'' on all railroads and that tho unions would certainly loso pres tige. They might, in fact, lose tho entlro battle and find their places filled by other men and tho work they havo boon building up for twenty or moro years would go crashing down. Assurances wero given at the meet ing that tho shop men would havo tho moral and financial support of tho brothorhoods anil other unions In tho railroad service. This moans, accord ing to its interpretation at tho meet ing, that nil railroad transportation would bo tied up In ovont of a sfj-iko of tho shop craftB, until 'tholr demands woro settled. This is the interpreta tion mado 'by tho moro radical ele ments In tho unions. Men on tho in Bide, however, say they do not antic ipate a otriko, and "that tho voto is prlmarly fntondod to provide tho un ion leaders with a club wherewith to induce tho railroads to listen to their demands, Ono of tho leaders who re turned to his homo in Iowa, after sev eral days In conference hero, gavo out a Btatomont to this effect and it was furthor verified by tho eonsorvativo leaders, who, for obvious reasons, de clined to pormit tho use of tholr names.

HERALD "DOUGHBOYS" LIKE LIFE ON THE RHINE All Exclaim Proudly on Arrival Home that American Army In Ger many la Best. New York. The first Intimate story of the life of tho American doughboy on tho Rhino was told. Tho transport Cantigny brought to New York a num ber of officers and 415 soldiers from tho army of occupation In Germany, military attaches from various Euro pean posts, and officers who hevo been studying abroad. With ono accord they exclaimed proudly that tho Amer ican army In Germany was tho best trained, most physically fit and snap piest dressed army that had ever ex isted. When every soldier is as fine a spec imen of manhood bb it 1b possible to build with army training, when their behavior Is almost without exception something of which every American may bo proud, when esprit de corps has been cultivated to an extent that rivalry takes on tho wholesome con tention of college sport, said theso of ficers, an Ideal military force can be produced, and that is just what has happened. Lieut. K. C. Cody, who was attached to tho headquarters staff in Coblonz, declared: "You can't say anything too good about the A. E. F. in Germany. "All tho men and officers there, al most without exception, dread the day when they will come back. Tho men particularly dislike the thought so much that they refuse to talk about it," said Lieut. Cody. "With many opportunities to get in to trouble, they avoid it, largely be causo tho penalty is bolng sont home. "Although tho men are able to buy all tho beer and wine they want, there is hardly an instance of a man taking too much. Drinking wino and beer has made them temperate drinkers. No whisky or cognac is permitted in tho area, and even at tho officers club cocktails are barred. Champagne is less than $1 a bottle and the men can buy It If they want to, but they seem to prefer the other wines more." "Thero is one cafe in Coblenz which is patronized almost entirely by Americans," said Capt. P. V. Kane. "They won't sell beer, so they can keep out their follow Germans." Officers commented on tho good feeling which exists between the Ger mans and the American troops be causo tho Germans look upon America as tholr only hope of salvation. "Wo hated them, but they do not hate us," said Lieut. Cody. "They like us, and frankly say so. This has boen somewhat tho causo of mar riages between soldiers and German women, although tho lower down in rank the moro marriages thero are." Germany scorns to bo working hard, too, tho officers declared. Thoy are coming back much faster than was thought possible. Their whole desire Is to get back on their feet so that their money will bo worth something again. "There is no military spirit left In tho country now, tho energy is all commercial," said one officor. "They aro making money, too, for a salesman told mo' that they ship tholr goods out, sell them for American currency and when it comes back change It in to marks with which to pay tho work men. Tho result Is that they aro mak ing money rapidly." International Romance Shattered. Baltimore, Md. The International romance of Porley R. Splker and Em ily R. Knowlos, which culminated when Guy S.
