STRIKES CONTINUE IN U.S.
PRESIDENT’S LETTER LARGE PROPORTION OF RAILWAYMEN. STRUCK LAST SUMMER. CABLE—PRESS ASSN—COPYRIGHT(Received 7.20 p.m., March 7.) Washington, March 6. Publication of a letter from President Harding to the Federated Shop Crafts (New Jersey), revealed that the President is disturbed at the continuance of a strike by a large proportion of raihvaymen who struck last summer. The investigation brings the surprising estimate that 180,000 men are still out throughout the country, or approximately 40 per cent. In the letter, President Harding states tho conviction that the continued failure of settlement is largely responsible for tho unfortunate conditions of railway movements in any parts of the country, by which coal deliveries have been interrupted, causing wide suffering. President Harding adds • “I do not find myself able to discern any adequate question of principle which could justify the minority interests involved refusing to make a settlement similar to those made by the majority.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
