AMERICAN RAILWAY STRIKE.
PRESIDENT HARDING
DISTURBED
NO ADEQUATE PRINCIPLE
INVOLVED
(Received March 7. 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 6
The publication or 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 bv a large proportion of the raihvaymen who struck last summer. An investigation brings the surprising estimate that 180.000 men are still out ,
throughout the country, or approximately forty per cent. In his letter, President Harding expresses the conviction that the continued failure of a settlement is largely responsible for the unfortunate condition of the railway movements in many parts of the country, by which coal deliveries have been mterruoted, causing wide r-'uffer-mg. He adds: “'I do not find myself able to discern any adequate question of principle which could justify a minority of the interests involved in refusing to msire settlements similar to those made bv the majoritv.”—-A. and N.Z.C.A.
