Br ARTHUR SEARS HENNINC
Washington, June .10. "Thrre will
he no interruption ol 1raiiporution
II the Ihrralciira lnke ol railway
employes should take place.
This wii the statement of a high
administration cHirial lat night
whrji adviied that a walkout of the
khoprrafts employe of the railroad
pad been railed, to take ertcct Mtur
day.
The administration regard the
strike a wholly unjustified, holding
that the employe are obliged, ex
actly as the railroad corporations
are obliged to abide by the decision
of the railway labor board, created
by the Esrh-Cummin transportation
act. In the view of the administra
tion, the strike is directed at the la
bor board and defies the spirit, if not
he letter, of the law.
Victory for Men.
If the shopcrafts employes walk
nut the railroads will be justified,
tccording to administration view
point in contracting with private con
cerns for their repair work. The la
bor, board recently held that the con
tracts made by the railroads with
outside companies for repair work
were in violation of the transporta
tion act.
This decision was a victory for the
railroad employes who opened their
fight on this procedure more than a
year ago. I hey charged that the
roads had resorted to this practice in
order to cut down the force of shop
crafts employes and avoid paying the
.'wages fixed m their agreements with
-the railway unions. '
l If the shopcrafts employes strike
and the. railroads are unable to pro
icure repairs, in their own shops in
order to keep the trains running, the
carriers will be faced with the choice
of recruiting nonunion skilled em
ployes to do the work of contracting
for, repairs with- outside concerns.
It was pointed out that great diffi
culty probably would be encountered
jn recruiting a . sufficient number of
-skilled workers to take the places of
. ,the shopcrafts- strikers arid that the
railroads would, be compelled to turn
,'to the companies equipped for roll
ing stock repair work.
Practice Legal. -I
As this .would be done, in the in
terest of preventing . the interrupt
ing of transportation, which the
transportation act was designed to
guard against, the practice would be
;iegal, in the opinion.; of the admin
istration. ;. V- .
' President Harding Jra'd been favor
ably impressed by the mariner in
which the labor board has decided
'disputes, enforced its decisions up
to date, although lacking in adequate
-enforcement po.vferJl -.anjj: .averted
threatened strikes' sucli as the walk
;out called, but later rescinded by the
brotherhoods of train operating em
ployes last year. He is hopeful that
Vhe board again will be successful in
' avoiding this strike, but, in any event,
he intends to .stand squarely behind
the board. ' -
Des Moines Health Head
Dismissed by Council
'' Des Moines. June 30. (Special
Telegram.) Following a bitter and
vindictive hour-and-a-half session of

relieved as head of the city health
department. Mayor John Garver was
given responsibility for the depart
ment. 1 The trouble started when Mac
! Vicar asked that W. B. Barney, jr.,

grounds of inefficiency. A delegation

peared before the council in defense

."cahoots" with milk distributors and

ularities. '

ested crowd, returning from the

efforts in this country to control

demonstrated by the public ice plant

in Omaha since 1912 through more
threatened competition.
