Coast Hat Much Food.
Minneapolis Mayor George .
Leach began making plans for han
dling food supplies and fuel. These
include the invoking of a state law
which providet tor tne taking over
of food supplies in storage in cases
of emergency. A movement to ob
tain permission to open navigation
on the Mississippi river north of St

San Francisco Vast stores of
supplies in warehouses are said to
be ample to feed the Pacific coast

were reached after long consideration-
of all the facts as evidenced by
N the testimony.
"Later Mr. Atterbury of the Penn
sylvania railroad in a spectacular
presentation demanded an immediate
seduction of the wages of all rail
road employes, notwithstanding the
carriers had been granted a material
increase in , freight and passenger
tatet to meet the increased wages
This was denied on technical grounds
because the carriers had not prop
erly created a dispute in accordance
1 with the transportation act

l uc raiiruaus mm ocgan iusciic
. notice on all employes demanding
reductions in pay, thereby legally
. creating a dispute which was refer
red to the labor board, resulting in
a 12 per cent reduction as of July 1.
"To further aggravate the situa-
, tion, immediately, following - this
meeting a great number of the rail-
rA.1. crvpt iisttir nit 'their em '
ployes that they would revise a
schedule and take from them rules
governing their service that had been
in effect for from 10 to 30 years. The
majority of such rules were the re
sult of negotiations with representa-
tives of the organizations and the
managers of the -individual railroads
and acknowledged to be fair and
cauitable.
"A conference of all general chair
. men was arranged to be held.in July
hi Chicago.. :The result wasto'in-'
struct executives of the organiga
tions to meet executives of the rail
roads, prior to September first,- for
; the purpose of trying to bring about
an amicable adjustment. This was
done ' and a committee of railroad
executives met in the east, south
east and western territories, their
answers all being similar and deny
ing any conciliatory measures.
94 Per Cent Vote Strike.
."Following the refusal of the ex
ecutives of the railway to enter into
any agreement with the executives
of the organizations, there was noth
ing left to do but refer the matter to
a referendum vote of the workers.
In October the representatives of
the workers were convened in Chi
cago and a canvass of the vote was
. made which indicated that 94 per
' cent plus were in favor of withdraw
ing from the service. Such a condi
tion was never, known before in' the
history of railroad labor and no
doubt was caused by the arrogant,
selfish attitude of the railroad execu
tives, together with their declination
-.- to be a party to any conciliatory
terms.
" "After the vote had been can
vassed the chairman of the Railroad
. Oowners association was notified by
wire of the result and the rennest for
a conference committee was made.
The 150 railroad presidents, meeting
' in - Chicago, named a committee of
five railroad presidents to meet execu
tive officers of the transportation
brotherhoods. They declined, to
make any concession or offer any
. solution providing for a settlement,
but instead notified us that a resOlu-
turn had been adopted by the rau
' road presidents asking the labor
board for a further wage redaction.
Then, and not until then, was per
i ' mission given for men to leave the
' tervice. .

The announcement in Chicaso bv

lowing the threat of a wage reduction, came as a distinct shock to official
Washington. Officials were chary of
that the administration would act before permitting a nation-wide indus

the labgr board at this time."
Chairman Barton said he and his
colleague probably would leave for
Chicagd tonight.
lhe public members of the labor
board also conferred with Attorney
General Paugherty, who .immediate
ly thereatter went to the White
White House to give the president
his view of the situation.
Hoover Against Unions.
Mr. Harding also summoned Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover and
Secretary of War Weeks to advise
him on the question of policy. Both
caibinet members are reported to
have urged strong support of the
labor board against whose decision'
reducing wages the rail unions voted
to protest' in the form of a strike.
They viewed the attack of the unions
oh the board's decision as precipitat
ing a test pf the machinery provided
by the ' government to prevent
strikes.
Senator Cummins- of Iowa, chair
man of the senate committee on in
terstate commerce and one of the
authors of the transportation act,
discussed the' situation with the
public member!; of the labor board
and later with Alfred P. Thorn,
chairman of the Association of Rail
road Executives.'
"I am more firmly of the opinion
than ever- that means will be found
to avert this threatened strike," said
Senator Cummin's. "By . reduction of
freight rates?" he was asked.
"Reduction of rates is now inevit
able," the senator replied, "and I be
lieve that-the reduction will come
speedily."" .- ,
Hays is Optimistic"
Postmaster General Hays and
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Shaughnessy began a survey of
the available , trucks, automobiles
and airplanes which can be called
into service to supplement railway
service in the event of the strike
crippling the carriage of the mails.
,"I am sure the parties to the con
troversy will not permit develop
ments which jivill interfere with gov
ernment service," said Mr. Hays.
"This is no time for statements from
this department. A time may come
for action. I sincerely trust that it
will not. If it does there will be
action. The mails will be tnoved.'
"We anticipate that there will be
no interruption of the mails," de
clared Mr. Shaughnessy, with signifi
cant emphasis on the word "no" be
fore he went into the conference. .
Brotherhoods Scored
Joseph H. Defrees of Chicago,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, issued a
castigation of the brotherhoods for
striking against a decision of the
labor board, urged the admihstra
tion to act to make such tactics a
failure and called on the public to
uphold the authorities if they take
that course.
"The strike of railway employes,
ordered to commence on October 30
by tying up the whole rail transpor
tation system of the nation contem
plates ' a most cruel and unjustifi
able attack upon the citizens and
government of the United States,"
said Mr. Defrees. "The threatened
strike by the same bodies of work
ers in 1916, avoided by the passage
by congress of the Adamson law,
could offer in defense that there was
not then in existence any consti
tuted authority having jurisdiction
to make decision as to the merits of
such controversies. The congress
has now constituted such a tribunal
by the creation .of the railroad labor
board. If anyone is dissatisfied with
the railroad labor board there is
open the orderly method of democ
racy for obtaining' change or sub
stitution. "The third and most important
party in this conflict the public, has
the right to expect the protection of
the authorities against such action.
The authorities may be expected to
accomplish that protection but in the
accomplishment the authorities are
entitled to and will have the fullest
support of the people, workers and
all, not included among those in
duced to engage in this foolhardy
enterprise to ruin their fellows rather
than abide by the rule of law and
order."

(Continued Fran F Om.)
possible ground for a strike by the
railway labor brotherhoods.
"The labor board was created by
the transportation act passed by con
gress in 1920. Therefore, the strike
which has been ordered will be, if
it occurs, a strike against a decision
made by a government body acting
in accordance with a federal law.
1916 Situation Different.
"The situation presented is' in im
portant respects, more serious than
that created by the issuance of a
strike order by the same labor or
ganizations m 1916, which precipi
tated the passage of the Adamson
act. At that time while the rail
ways had asked for arbitration there
had not been any arbitration be
cause the labor unions had refused
it. Therefore, the labor unions then
were within the law. "The present
case is different There is now a
law which requires the railways and
their employes to; submit to the la
bor board disputes which may in
terrupt transportation.
"While therailways complied with
the decision in 1920, for an advance
in wages, the labor , brotherhoods
now propose to defy the law and
strike rather than accept a much
smaller reduction in wages. The
course of the labor unions in order
ing a strike in violation of the deci
sion of the labor board and in dis
regard of -the plain provisions of
the law is clearly adopted to nullify
these provisions of the law.
Deny Unions' Rights.
"The railway executives at.a meet
ing in ChicagoOctober 14, decided
to ask the railroad labor board for
a further reduction in wages and to
give the public in the form of. re
ductions in rates all benefits of any
further reduction in wages that were
granted. This however, afforded the
brotherhoods no reason for order
ing a strike. :
. "The ttrikvote was .taken on ac
cepting the wage reduction already
authorized by the , labor board and
not on a future" reduction. The ex
ecutives, at, the Chicago meeting did
not make any reduction in wages,
but decided simply to seek a further
reduction, in accordance with the
law, so that rates might be reduced.
"The railway employes have no
more legal right to strike against it
than the railroads would have had to
refuse to grant the advance in wages
authorized in J92Q j by the, labor
board." , ?; '
Proposal Is Impossible. -
Concerning the labor board pub
lic group proposal to cut rates im
mediately the statement also said:
"In asking for a further reduction
in wages in order that they may be
able to permit the oublic reductions
in rates, the railways are acting only'
in accordance with the laws and in
obedience to an insistent public de
mand that they shall create . condi
tions which will enable them to re
duce rates. The suggestion has been
made in a statement: issued by the
public members of the labor board
that the railways, to prevent a strike
shall make a reduction in rates equal
to the reduction in wages made July
1 and shall postpone seeking a fur
ther reduction in wages.
"A general reduction ; in rates
without further reduction in wages
would be ruinous to many railways.
Thus far in 1921, the railway, have
earned a net return of only 2.6 per
cent and, although the net earnings
have increased recently, owing to
the recent reduction in wages, a gen
eral reduction of rates without a
further ' reduction in wages would
put the railways back in a precar
ious position financially."
The statement declared that the
roads were in sympathy with the
farmer and desired to help him
through lower rates Just as quickly
as possible, but that this was impos
sible under present wages.

terday morning. "Gipsy. Smith is go
ing to speak and one can't tell just
what he will do.,' He is quite apt to
lead off with a song."
Which is exactly what the noted
evangelist did. He entered the room
quietly during the progress of the
business meeting of the union and
took a seat When called on to
speak he opened with "In The Same
Old Way," his , rich, smooth tones
rising above those of the ministers
who - joined him. '.. ' -
No sooner ' had Gipsy Smith
started his talk than he stopped as
though disturbed. There was not a
movement in the" room. He asked
someone to close the windows. ' .
I can talk better when all Is
quiet," he explained. "If I ever build
a church I shall certainly build it
off the car line." .
. Heart-to-Heart Talk.
Gipsy Smith's address yesterday
morning was more in the nature of a
heart-to-heart talk with ministers. of
the gospel.
"I have never assumed the part of
dictator to my brothers in the min
istry," he assured them, "but rather
have I sought to be an assistant to
them. My life has been spent in an
endeavor to win the confidence of my
fellow workers, and I think I can
say truly that I have succeeded. I
have worked on five continents-for
the last 35 years, and I feel that I
have more friends among the -ministers
than any other man on earth.
"But I do not win them by force,"
he continued. "I have found it a
poor policy to hit a man on the nose
and then try to win him to my- way
of thinking. I have won many men
to the aggressive cause of evangelism
by appealing to them and honestly
trying to win them."
Flash of Humor.
The evangelist assured the min
isters they would have nothing to
fear from anything he would do or
say during the course of his meetings
in Omaha. "You need me and I
need "you, and we need to recognize
this need and back each other to
the limit Then we shall make an
impression on Omaha that will not?
soon be forgotten.
"When I first started to preach,"
said Gipsy Smith, with one of his
rare flashes of humor, "I didn't have
any more whiskers than a goose
berry. I didn't call it preaching
then. I didn t have the nerve. I
was just in my 'teens and couldn't
read three consecutive verses from
the Bible. I just used to have them
put on the announcements that 'the
Gipsy boy will speak and sing.'"
Next Sunday afternoon the Audi
torium meeting will be for men only,
and the following Sunday for women.
