Washington, July 24.-That the railroad shopmen have been prepar ing for the strike now in progress since April 1921, and waited fifteen months, because of a desire to "ac cumulate enough grievances to sup port a demand for a nation-wide strike" were statements made today by P. J. Conlon, vice president of the International Association of Machin hts, at a public mass meeting here. Union officials learned April 8, 1921, Mr. Conlon said, that the national agreement with the railroads was to be abolished although the railroad labor board did not act until - April 14. When individual agreements were sought, he declared, the unions "ran into identical demands from every road we approached which indicated to us there was some central agency of authority directing the fight against us." "Then we realized Vice President Conlon continued, "that we would have to sit tight and suffer in si lence until enough grievances had been accumulated to support a de rnand for a nationwide strike." Of the 1,100 decisions handed down by the labor board, the speak er listed 700 as favorable to the railroads and 400 as "nominally in favor of our side," but of the latter, he said, at least 300 were not put into effect by the railroads and therefore "didn't mean anything." Asserting that the strike leaders were well satisfied .with the situa tion, Mr. Conlon said. "It generally takes from thirty to sixty days to make a shop strike effective but before this one had been on ten days more than 250 trains had been cancelled out of Chicago, West Virginia non-union coal mines were bottled up, and the iron and steel industries were crying for help. And we have hardly started yet." SOUNDS WARNING TO REPUBLICANS Washington, July 24.-Failing to get action from the Senate finance commitoe majority, Senator Len root, Republican, Wisconsin, launch ed today in the Senate his fight to limit to 60 per cent advalorem the duties in the pending tariff bill on coarse wools, both in the raw and the manufactured state. His pro posal met with sharp opposition from spokesmen for the committee and Senators engaged in the pro duction of wool and there were frequent and at times sharp ex changes. Warning his Republican col leagues that the 33 cents a pound duty proposed would result in an increase in the cost of woolen clothing, Senator Lenroot declared the Republicans would have dif ficulty in justifying to the people in the large cities proper protective dluties for the wool producers, but that they could not justify "this enormous equivalent advalorem duty, equaling in some cases 137 per cent," on wool of a kind not produced in this country to any ap preciable extent. Before returning to its fight over wool, the Senate wound up its work on committee amendments in the flax, jute and hemp schedule. Two controversies developed, Democrats vigorously opposing the rates pro posed on jute bagging for cotton and on cotton floor coverings. Sen ator Robinson, Democrat, Arkan sas, sought to have the rates re duced from 6-10 cent and 3-10 cent a square yard to 1-10 cent and 1-20 cent, respectively, but his amendment was rejected, 36 to 18, and the original rates approved, 31 to 17. By a vote of 34 to 16 the Sen ate rejected an amendlment by the same Senator to cut from 35 per cent advalorem to 20 per cent, the proposed duty on cotton floor cov erings.
