Adjusted Through Agency
Crratnl ly Acts of
Congress.
Washington, July 25. The rtilroid
labor board remaina the only agency
through which the government can
and will deal with the railroad itrike
aituation, though Preeident Harding
ia continuing to hold himself in con
tact with all actions which the board
tike in the matter, it wat said today
at the White House.
The administration in the railroad
strike as in the coal controversy, it
waa asserted, intends to proceed in
fairness to the interests Involved
and with the determination to main
tain the dignity and majesty of the
United States government. In ac
cordance with this policy, it believes
that all labor controversy should
be placed before the railroad labor
board, the sole authority under the
acts of congress.
Baltimore, Md.. July 25. The con
ference here today between the man
agement of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad system and representatives
of its striking shop crafts, while per
mitted by the national organizations

Social Light Successful
"Cave Girl" on Homestead
Chicago, July 25 (By A. P.)
The railway strike, comoinea wun
the coal strike, was being brought
home to the public today througn
the announcements of leaders in
several industries that unless a
foeedv settlement was reached clos
ing of the plants with resulting un
employment, rationing of iuel ana
food supplies, and a crippling of pub
lic utilities service would result.
Steel plants, especially in the east,
will be closed on a' wholesale scale
if present conditions continue until
August, according to the head of a
large steel corporation. Industrial
coal was said to be unobtainable at
any price in New York. In Chicago
increases of from $5.25 to $15.25 a
ton in coal prices were announced.
A shortage of coal cars in bituminous
fields has caused an appreciable de
cline in production.
Progressive Convention
Called to Meet August 15
Lincoln. Neb.. July 25. J. H. Ed-
misten, chairman of the progressive
party state committee, issued a call
today for the assembly of the state

said, a state platform will be promul
gated, a state central committee se
lected and other business transacted.

Mr. Edmisten, will be on the basis
of one delegate for each 50 votes or
major fraction thereof, of the total

in the progressive, primary election
hi(ld on July: 4 8, this year. It is
provided, however, that each county
shall be entitled to at least one dele
gate. County conventions are called for
August 8 in the-'several county seats
and precinct conventions on the day
preceding the county conventions.
Special Election Proposed
to Decide Goal Yard Issue
Lincoln, July ." ' 25. (Special.) A
resolution calling for a special elec
tion to decide whether Lincoln shall
have a municipal coal yard was in
troduced in the city council today.
The special election is to be held
September 12 under terms of, the
resolution.
San Francisco, July 25. It's a far
cry from a fashionable ball room to
a lonely mountain homestead, but
pretty Eileen Young, 22. has bridged
the gap.
Miss oune won first prize for
Mono county, her adopted county, at
a fashionable civic ball given here.
She wore a "cave woman's costume"
fashioned from furs of animals she
had trapped herself in the mountains.
Imow she is back in Mono county
completing the last of 21 months'
residence on 640 acres from the High
Sierras to the Moiave desert which
she took up as a "homesteader."
Her principal neighbors are Piute
Indians and one of her best friends is
"Four-Fingered Jack," chieftain of
the Piutes, who gave her the name
of "Lonely Deer." Word went out
that anyone who littcd a finger
against the little "pale face" pioneer
would answer to "Four-Fingered
Jack," for "Lonely Deer" is the uiece
of George Dorn, homesteader and fast
triend of the chief.
'Uncle George's" homestead is 30
miles from the cabin of the intrepid
"Eileen Young, Homesteader." as she
calls herself on her visits to the home
of her parents in San Jose.
Miss Young does not know, the
meaning of the word fear.

A laugh was her answer.
"I don't know what it means to be
afraid. Three years ago my old
bachelor uncle visited us and told my
family of the great sheep country in
Mono county the government was
opening.
"He was sad .because he is too old
to homestead any longer, and said it
was too bad there was no boy in the
family to go up there and take up the
land.
"I asked him what was the matter
with my going. Father and mother
were hard to persuade, but I had the
nerve to do anything a boy could do
and finally won out. ' We lived on a
ranch when we were youngsters and
I learned how to ride as well and
shoot as straight as a boy.
My uncle helped me put up my
cabin and for seven months of each
of the last three years I have lived
up there with saddle horses, pack
mules and dogs for companions. And
1 like it."
But the Mono county "cave girl"
is not looking for a cave man with
out sufficient gumption to strike out
and get a homestead of his own.
"When I marry," she said, "it will
be a man who loves the wilds but
who is broke to city pavements as
well as mountain climbing.

If you have postponed rending

Governor Kendall of Iowa, in
advising Council Bluffs authorities
to furnish protection to nonunion
men brought in, had been requested
by Rock Island officials to provide
protection which they said Council
Bluffs authorities were unable to
furnish. Attorney J. C. Gamble of
the Rock Island told the governor
that the situation at Council Bluffs
was very critical and that local au
thorities had advised against bring

ideals of every free-born American
Says Workers Firm.
"The lamentable breakdown of the
federal policy naturally lessens the
desire of the public for "further ex
periments . of this ."sort, ;The mine
workers are resolved not to be driven
back to the mines by, any threat of
force. The principles' of collective
bargaining are at stake and the right
to employment at a- living wage is
an issue which must.be considered.
"The coal strike, now in its seven
teenth week, involving more than
600,000 men and affecting the wel
fare of our nation, is in itself a co
lossal industrial tragedy which re
flects no credit upon our antiquated
industrial relations . . or American
statesmanship.
. "The miners are anxious to settle
this strike and resume the produc
tion of coal. We are ready to meet
in joint conference with the coal
operators at the earliest moment that
such a conference . cap be arranged
in harmony with the contractual ob
ligations of the coal companies and
in line with the procedure which has
prevailed in the industry ior more
than a quarter of a century. . The ad
justment of a strike in this national
industry cannot be accomplished
through the instrumentality of state
or district settlements. No district
conferences1 or arrangements will be
sanctioned by the mine workers' or
ganization. The mine workers' rep
resentatives wilL hold themselves in
readiness to respond to any logical
and practical attempt to effectuate an
adjustment."

Orders Issued to Meet

to appoint soon to study the coal
problem.
As to the rail strike, the statement
was made upon the highest authority
that President Harding is content to
leave the government's part in the
situation in the hands of the rail
road labor board. The president, it
was stated, takes the view that any
settlement of the railroad strike
hinges upon recognition of the .board
as the designated governmental
agency to handle disputes between
the railroads and their employes.
Content to Work.
The administration is content for
the time to play a waiting game.
While it recognizes the growing seri
ousness of the coal shortage, it is at
the same time receiving reports from
operators and rail executives leading
some influential members of the
cabinet" to believe that the strikers'
lines will soon begin to crumble; L.
F. Loree, president of the Delaware
& Hudson railway, was authority for
the statement that the shop forces
on his road were' now 60 per cent
normal. Labor leaders deny the sug
gestion that the strikers are waver
ing. President Lewis of the mine
workers says the miners can stay
out for months.
Another development in the strike
situation was the introduction of a
bill by Senator Borah, Idaho, chair
man of the senate labor committee, to
create a commission to devise a per
manent solution of the coal prob
lem. Senator Borah explained that
the measure was not intended to deal
with the present emergency. Nationa
lization of the mines or the regulation
and control of the coal industry are
among the questions which the com
mission would be instructed to study.
The bill was refered to Senator
Borah's committee.

lo recruit the youth necetmry lo
successful crime."
Mabray claims he Is hated in the
haunts of the underworld, wnere
once he ruled a king.
"No man can go straight and re
tain friendship of the underworld,"
Mabray 4yi. "1 have tried it and
failed. There if no honor among
thieves or among 'con men' they
don't believe in letting a fellow go
straight."
The yellow-back of detective fic
tionthe wildest dream of the dime
novel writer never even approached
the dramatic history of Mabray and
his gang.
How many composed the "Uyout"
of the Mabray gang none but john
ny Mabray himself ever knew.
There was Powell "the Waco
Kid" termed by police of the entire
country "the imoothest package of
green Koods stuff which ever made
a small town."
"And look at Powell," Mabray
says. "He tried to go straight
and they got him.
Powell was shot down in the main
dining room of the fashionable Ponce
de Leon hotel at St. Augustine,
Fla. He had "squealed" on his pals.
Played "Green Goods' Game.
The band operated all the "green
goods" and "con" garnet, known to
the underworld.
They specialized on fake sport
ing events, however foot and horse
races and prize fights.
In addition, they operated wire
tappinar schemes, false stock ix-
changec, and even sunk to the "soap
racket" and the "gold brick" schemes.
They "sold buildings including the
Masonic temple in Chicago, the Flat
iron building in New York, the Ferry
building vi san rrancisco.
In their two years oi operation
they made $5,000,000.
We never stole a dime,' Maoray
boasts. "We just relieved monkeys
of their money."
"Cleaned the Corn Belt."
The band, working with Council
Bluffs, Ia., as headquarters, "cleaned"
the "com belt" for $1,000,000 in one
month, according to sworn admis-
.i4iis nude by Mahrdy on the wit-
nets stand during Ihe trul ot lieu
Mark, acquitted in connection wilh
what was then known as the "big
store" swindle.
The Mabray used the "sport
fake" there.
A "capper" would "catch on ' to
a farmer a man from the middle
est w ith from IIO.IHX) to $50,(MW in
the bank his litetime savings.
The "capper" would aUo pose a a
farmer or small town banket. 11
would tip off his new found friend
to a prize fight, or a fot ttct, to
be staged between two champions
it was a grudge fight, ur a grmlRe
race between the two and to lie
run in cccrrt.
Farmers "Taken In."
The farmer would be taken to the
rcne of the fight.
The "capper" would announce he
wax going to bet.
If the farmer showed a willingness
to put up a little money, too, the
"capper" protested.
"I don't want any of my friends
to lose tell you what I'll do," he
would say. Then lie would make a
proposition of loaning the farmer
$W0 or $200 to bet.
"If you win pay me back if not
I'll be the loser." he would say. The
farmer always fell and falling, won.
This would lead to more bettinc.
Then would come the "clean up."
Victims Are "Tipped Off."
The farmer would be tipped off
that a "fake" fight was coming off.
It was all set for a certain mln to
win.
He was advised to get down all he
owned on the affair.
Having won previously on the ad
vice of his friend, the farmer
plunged. The- rest of the story is a
old as the story of crime itself the
farmer waa trimmed.
Having participated in what he
was told was a "fake" fight he was
afraid to. complain.
"They were all as crooked as we
were planning to trim somebody
else," Mabray justified his opera
tions. "We never trimmed one who
wasn't out trying to trim some
body else and got caught doing it."
Turns State's Evidence.
Mabray in his trials turned state's
evidence against men who sold pro
tection to his gang.
It is because of this, he claims,
that Ihe underworld is now trying t. j pard.m u lue w $MW Unt it
