RAILWAY LEADERS CHARGED WITH STRIKE. Union Chiefs Blame Refusal to Restore Seniority Rights as Main Reaon f?r Failure to Settle Fight. Nerw York, July 24.?Asserting that the rail strike has not already been i settled "because the die-hard group I of Eastern road executives want it to go on," shop craft union leaders j today admitted that only the road's J refusal to assure returning strikers j reinstatement of seniority rights prevents an immediate settlement of the controversy. "The government now admits that, the railroad strike is a grave pub-, lie issue; the public knew it two J weeks ago," was a statement issued fcj the central strike committee. "It is only the die-hard group of Eastern executives who deny it Ihey deny it because they want the strike to go on. They are using this crisis in a vain attempt to install the < pen shop. "If the government wants to relieve the transportation crisis i: will settle the strike. And the we y to f settle the strike is to persuade Gaieral W. W. Atterburg and his 'hard boiled' Wall street clique to cease holding up the nation's business by their private refusal to allow seniority rights to workers. It is inconceivable that a half-dozen men can compose their selfish will upon the welfare of a hundred million." These charges brought from the Eastern executives' conference, in session today, a declaration through their chairman, L. F. Loree, presi dent oi tne ueiaware ana nuusun, that the "possibility of the strikers tying up Eastern railroads had passed." He announced that 88,804 men are now employed at full time in Eastern shops, compared with 145,872 the day before the walkout, and declared that the 60.8 per cent force aow employed "has an output that compares favorably with the work ?f the larger force before the strike." "This is due," the statement continued, 'to the fact that we formerly employed more men than we needed because there was not enough repair work to keep the shops going at capacity and partly due to the fact that many union rules designed to restrict output have been eliminated. One willing mechanic now does the work that formerly was taken ap in routine by several, with the consequent delays." The conference made plans for in-j ^^MarxMa< . Man Becaus > a million w Get Yc Silve Main Street augurating on additional roads the1] "company union" system, which al- ] ready has been started on four i Eastern lines as an outgrowth of < the strike. Although it was tacitly 1 admitted that the effect of such or- i ganizations would be to weaken the ( national strength of the mother un- < ion of the six shop crafts, the Amer- ! icjm Federation of Labor, rail presi- ; trents refused to comment on the < conference program. 1 Delays continued to mark the bul- I letin boards of incoming passenger 1 trains. oMARTHA MUES ( ON DISHWASHING An occupation deserving of mem " ? * X tion Because ox its irequency?u xvi | no other reason. And, would you believe it, some have been known to write poems on it, and another good woman friend of mine?the kind who dotes upon church charities and all other forms of goodness?declares that after a wearying round of committee meetings and such like, there's nothing to equal a good, "suddsy" pan of dishwater to sing over and forget all your troubles. My poet friend goec a-traveling with her dishes. Her i^a set carries her to Japan, the country of its making; a cherished piece of Haviland to France, and so her fancy takes her. But, I, alas, alack, cannot "poem," and my committees, I fear, are few and far between. And I wash dishes, too. "With a 14-year-old daughter?" someone says. And I smile and think that someone, poor dear, has no 14year-old daughter, sophomore in high school, with all the worries thereof. Class meetings, and more class meetings, parties in the winter, picnics in the spring, ball gamete on Saturdays and "the girls" on Sundays. Oh, yes Jim puts on his crossest look, once a month, at least, looks up over his evening paper, and says: "What! that girl out again tonight? Really, Martha Mother, you're spoiling her." And I say I know it; and Billy, bless his little cherub heart, chirps up with, "I'll help muwer with the dishes." Help he does, with an apron bundled around his neck, perched up on the kitchen stool?a six-year-old life saver, bless him. Lands Open to Ex-Service Men.

Towner-Sterling Bill?World Conference on Education?Work of N. E. A. Convention. (Capital News Service.) Washington, July 25.?During the closing hours of the National Education Association Convention in Boston three actions were taken which may have the utmost importance in furthering the spread of education. By a vote of all delegates which lacked but two of being unanimous, the Towner-Sterling bill, creating a Department of Education, with a secretary in the president's cabinet, was endorsed as being the great necessity if educational progress is to receive proper governmental aid in this country. Mr. Will H. Hays, former postmaster general and now head of the motion picture industry, offered the cooperation of the movies to the educational world. "There is already a grfeat demand for pedagogic pictures," Mr. Hays said. "I propose that we jointly study that demand, and that we jointly find ways and means of supplying it. Let a committee be appointed of this association made up of the very best talent with: your ranks; let them meet with the great producers of the country and find ways to use our facilities. We ask you to aid us and to let us aid you in the study of the whole problem of the use of the motion picture as ; YOUI Should be r free circula j that will sts constructed the trying s will not sag le Clc rx _ T?

Plans for a world conference on education, to take place in 1923, were offered the convention. Invitations are being sent to 45 countries to join America in the enterprise. The committee recommended that out of the world conference should come an international education association. The committee also proposed that the world conference discuss a world peace exposition to be held in 1930.
