LINGERING STRIKE
MANY^ RAILWAYMEN STILL OUT
PRESIDENT HARDING'S CONCERN.
(united press association.—copyright.)
(ALSTRALIAN • NEW ZEALAND CABLI ASSOCIATION.) WASHINGTON, 6th March. The publication of a letter from President Harding to the Federated Shop Crafts of New Jersey has revealed that the President is disturbed at the continuance of the strike by a large proportion of the railwayman who struck last summer. Investigation brings the surprising estimate that 180,000 men are still out throughout the country, or approximately 40 per cent. In his letter, President Harding states his conviction that the continued failure to reach a settlement is largely responsible for the unfortunate condition of railway movements in many parts of the country, by which coal deliveries have been interrupted, causing wide suffering. He adds: "I find)myself unable to discern- any adequate question of principle which could justify the minority of interests involved in refusing to make settlements similar to those made by the majority."
