U.S. RAILWAY TROUBLES.
THOUSANDS STILL ON STRIKE. PRESIDENT HARDING'S VIEW. ,BI CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COrYKiIiKT AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received March 7th. 5.15 p.m.! WASHINGTON, March 6. The publication of a letter from President Harding; to the Federated Shop Crafts of New Jersey revealed that the President is disturbed at the continuance of the strike by a large proportion of the railwaymen who struck last summer. Investigation brings the surprising estimate that 180,000 men are still out throughout the country, or approximately 40 per cent, of the total. In his letter Mr Harding states his conviction that the continued failure to reach a settlement is largely responsible for the unfortunate conditions of railway movements in many parts of the country, by which coal deliveries have been interrupted, causing widespread suffering. Mr Harding adds: "I do not find myself able to discern any adequate question of principle which oould justify the minority interests involved refusing to make settlements similar to those made by the majority."
