WARD HEARS OF
PROPOStD STRIKE
Cincinnati, June 18 (By the Assoiated
Press).?Formal notice was
erved tonight on the railroad labor
card by the chiefs of ten railroad
nions of their intention to go
hrougn with a strike in event one is
uthorized by the 1,225,000 workers
rhose wages are to be reduced on
uly 1 on orders of the board.
Coupled apparently with the action
f the rail union leaders was a statelent
that the "railroad workers have ,
o alternative except to fight," made <
y John L. Lewis, leader of the striklg
coal miners, who will meet with
la rail union lpnHprn TiinaHaw in
onsider joint strike action. He als'i ,
ledged the miners' aid to the rail ;
len, but declined to state definitely
rhat aid might result from joint ac
on. 1
The notice was sent to the railroad
ibor board in the form of a letter j
Biterating the rail union leaders' at
tude on the threatened walkout, ,
hich was first definitely asserted in
leir statement issued here Thursday ,
ight. The previous statement also
icludes the declaration that an over- i
helming vote was being cast for the
alkout. In their letter to the board ]
ie rail men said:
"When there occurs a miscarriage
[ justice of Buch colossal and perma- ,
ent injury to railway labor as your ]
ecision will bring about, the only ]
leans of remedy which the injured (
arties have is to refuse to accept
mir decisions. This procedure is per;ctly
legal. While it should only be 1
sed as a last resort, our membership j
.ay decide it to be fully justified by ]
our denial of elementary and long ,
stablished right and by the seriousess
of the situation which you have j
reated. Your decisions have been j
ibmitted to a strike vote of our j
lembership and we are awaiting the \
esults of their action. Should our
lembers decide not to acceut your ]
ecision or in other words to strike,
e shall sanction their action and adise
you accordingly."
Mr. Lewis, the miners' chief, while
sserting unwillingness to discuss the
utcome of .the coming conference
1th the rail men, said the miners
will do anything that is helpful and
MMtttKttve for fh? railroad men and
>r the miners themselves."
"I am convinced," declared Mr.
ewis, "that the railroad men and the
ink and file of the railroad organ:ations
frankly recognize the neces- *
ty of making a fight regardless of
le consequences. And in that fight
ley will have the whole souled and
ctive cooperation of the mine workrs.
The nature of that cooperation
anon/la nnrvn nirnnmclortnoa Vuif f Ka
elp of the mine workers will not be
f small consequence.
The presidents of the rail unions
lid in their letter to the labor board
lat they had done everything to
vert a strike, pointed out that no apeal
was possible from the board's
ecision and asserted that the uions'
intentions were that the transportaon
law required a living wage for
mployees at the bottom of the scale
f occupations, with higher rates for
ther workmen, according to their
till, hazard of employment, responbility,
training and experience.
In making wage reductions, the
oard was told that it had established
le principle that "just wages must
wait the complete satisfaction of
ailroad ownership in the matter of 1
ehabilitation and profits." Further,
le board was told that in its last
ecision to cut the wages of clerks,
ignalmen and stationary firemen it
ad stated as a "basis of action the
leory that labor can not be comletely
freed from the economic laws
'hich likewise affect the earnings of
apital."
"This means nothing more or less,"
tie letter said, "than the treatment of
ibor as a commodity whose value <
uctuates according to the demand for
nd the supply of labor."
As the result of the board's deisions,
the letter said, the lowest paid
mployees "have been degraded be>w
a level of bare animal subsist- (
nee" and the earning capacity of the 1
mployees in the higher grades has '
een reduced "below a standard of
ealthful and decent living."

PANCHO VILLA
GOES TO WORK
Mexico City, June 18 (By the Associated
Press).?Pancho Villa, the for
mer bandit, is a peace loving, hard
working contented rancher, without
political ambitions and imbued with a
sincere desire to help his people, according
to an impression gained by
the correspondent of El University 1
who recently visited Villa at his Canutillo
ranch.
Villa is described by the correspondent
as a home loving man, who arises
at 4 o'clock in the morning and spends
his day and the hours far into the
night in personal supervision of his '
ranch in the state of Durango. The I
one time bandit has established i
schools for his people and has set up 1
a code of morals which he enforces
with the same severe discipline of his i
bandit days. All religions and creeds
ore respected at Canutillo. Liquors :
nnd gambling are barred, and everv
man is forced to perform his quota,
of work. i
Villa is studying English and so ,
are his three children. The former 1
railed, whose illiteracy has been proverbial,
has a special tutor who each
night instructs him in the Spanish i
language and the rudiments of ele- .
mentary education. True to his word
to the government, Villa is definitely ,
out of politics. To the correspondent
he stated emphatically that he would (
riot mix in the congressional elections |
of next month or enter the lists dur- j
ing the next presidential campaign. ,
Agriculture is his hobby and he is at- ,
tempting to make his ranch a model (
in modern farming. Villa wishes }
Mexico to live in harmonious accord ^
with the United States.
The correspondent describes Villa (
as the leaven for good that he says
is working in Durango and as an ex- ^
ample of patriotism seldom followed
in the republic.

HARDING STANtlS
BY MELLON
Rv Hucrk W
Washington, June 18.?A, tdrew W
Mellon will not be forced I at of the
treasry either by Demod its who
criticize his position regqjj ding the
bonus and his support of 1 igislation
in which "big business" favor;
or by Republican politiotf is... who,
hard pressed for re-elect! n, insist
unsuccessfully that he disp nse patronage
in their districts for 1 heir private
advantage.
This fact is definitely sM ablished.
Further, it is learned do ilusivfely
that the president is fond < Mellon,
believes him a great busirt M secretary
of the treasury, and x ill stand
by him indefinitely. If Melt ? should
leave the treasury, it wtH as result
of his voluntary action, andlonly after
efforts of the presideM to dissuade
him have proved futitt. ?
And vet Mellon i? the Siac* n?
popular member of the cabinet with
congress. He has outraged. the radical
of both parties who wbuld put
"big business" entirely out]of business
and by legislation ntake the
poor man rich. He has arrayed
against him every Republican who insists
that every Democrat be "fired"
from service in the department of the
treasury. ii
Soon after Mr. Mellontassumed
charge of the treasury department, it
Decame evident that he would proceed
in accordance with business^ policies
rather than political policie^. There
were some very valuable men in the
department who were giviSg valuable
service. They were 'hold overs"
from the Wilson administration.
This fact encouraged influential
congressmen to appeal to president
for a gradual "weeding} out" of
the personnel. The president was informed
that .these 'hold oyer" Democrats
were agents of W. :G. McAdoo,
and as such reported daily tq Joseph
P. Tumulty, alleged to be tbe confidential
man "on th,e ground" of the
former secretary. It is not kflown to
what extent the president *.J>elieved
the stories thus unfolded. A.t any
rate, Elmer Dover was mppc nted as
assistant secretary of the ti jssury.
Elmer Dover is essentially a politician.
*1? ja * ****
Hanna school. He^had served as sec
retary of the Republican national
committee and knew the advantage
from a partisan standpoint, of giving
employment to the faithful residing
in the districts which arc
"close" between Republicans and
Democrats.
With congressmen silently encouraging,
he started on his course of
"weeding out." He struck a heavy
blow against the government printing
office. By executive order, that
office was cleared out without notice
It created a sensation. On account of
Democratic protest, Republicans rallied
to the president. Thus encouraged,
Dover, it is understood, let it be
known that all other departments,
especially those under the supervision
of the secretary of the treasury,
would be cleared out?"for the good
of the service."
Mr. Mellon, it is understood, was
not greatly in favor of the political
move against the printing office. He
is said to have concluded that Dover
would be checked in his operations
against employees of the treasury, D.
H. Blair, commissioner of internal
revenue, stood with Mellon.
The impasse resulted in a row. The
president was appealed to. He attempted
to compose the situation. The
element behind Dover, however, was
not satisfied. This element prepared
a list of Democrats employed in the
treasury, and sent it to the presidenl
with request that Dover, as axe-man
be permitted to proceed.
Mellon stood firm and denounced
the propaganda. The president took
sides with Mellon.
Severe Storm
A severe rain and wind storm passed
through the county yesterday af
ternoon between 3 and 5 o'clock
Quite a number of trees and limbs
were blown down, many roofs showec
up leak and the lightning playet
about at a lively pace. So far as wc
have learned there was no serious
damage, no accident to life or limb.
The storm passed from north t(
south, and at times the rain was s<
severe that it amounted almost to t
cloudburst.

STOREY URGES
I PASSAGE OF BILL
Newark, N. J., Juno 18.?"With men
. over striking for higher wages or less
i work would a strike for life and lib'
erty by the negroes in the South be
wholly unjustifiable?"
i Launching this question at the 30th
annual convention of the National As,
sociation for the Advancement of Colored
People in the armory here this
afternoon, Moorefield Storey, head of
the association and former president
of the American Bar association, urged
passage of the Dyer anti-lynching
bill now before the Unite States
, senate.
"Lynching," the speaker said, "goes
en because it is safe. It flourishes as
I Henry Watterson said, "as an opportunity
to indulge in spectacular murder
when there is no fear that th>?
next grand jury will return murder indictments.'
But when the people of
rthe United States undertake in dead
i earnest to stop lynching it will disappear.
i "Serious conflict may be in store for
. us," he continued, "and may be provoked
by racial preiudice. Thus far,

uniformly loyal. We do not lose their
support when the country needs loy-li

and contented negroes be a bulwark
against national disaster? And would
not the same people, exasperated by
outrages and the persistent denial of
right, be a dangerous reinforcement
to any malcontent?"
Speaking with Mr. Storey was Roy.
resentative Madden (Illinois), champion
of the anti-lynching bill, who declared
that nothing was being aske l
for the negro that did not belong to
him and nothing but the simple justice
and equality of opportunity which
is the birthright of all citizens.
Seven hundred negroes paraded
through the center of Newark prior to
the meeting. The convention will continue
until Friday.

WEATHER CAUSES
COTTON TO DROP
_ \
New Orleans, June 18.?A reactionary
tendency took possession of the
cotton market last week mainly hecause
of the advent of dry and hot
weather in the belt, and prices were
lower from the opening, although
there were strong recoveries in the
late session and highest prices were
raehed on the last session of the week.
Prices were under the closing level
of .the preceding week the whole
week through, standing at their lowest
96 to 104 points under and at their
highest 18 to 28 points under and closing
at net losses of 26 to 32 points.
July traded at 21.44 at its lowest,
came back to 22.16. In the spot department
middling closed at 21.88,
showing a net loss of 27 points. A
year ago middling closed at 10.75
cents a pound.
Dunne almost thi> ?>nii?-?
greater part of the belt experienced
dry and hot weather which, according '
to reports to local brokerage concerns, 1
allowed the cultivators of the crop ,
to make fast progress and was considered
to be favorable weather fo.* J
the plant as well as the most eflfective
thing to hold the activities of
the boll weevil down. Toward the
close of the week rains in south Texas
caused buying flurries which carried
the market to its highest levels. Th'
better turn in weather conditions was
mainly responsible for the selling of 1
the week and much liquidation of the
long side came. 1
New selling was not carried on ag- i
gressively because of the showing ofi <
statistics. The census bureau report a
on American mills for May brought 1
the market support as its consump- a
tion 495,074 bales against 440,714 during
the same month last year. Further
support was derived from British
board of trade returns for May, ponding
textile exports from England at <
14,200,000 pounds of yarn abainst 8 - i
500,000 pounds the same month last .
year and exports of cloth at 443.000.- i
000 yards against 140,000,000 while i
some of the heaviest buying of the \
weekly cotton statistics on Friday i-i j
this market. According to the state- i
ment, world takings of 228,000 bale?
against 130,000 this week last year '
while the total visible supply of ]
American jco^tpn in _the world was. re- ?
dueed to 2,666^954 bales against 4.313,827
a year ago. (
