' I Wart Living Wage. ! Hn organized employes snn-i ft rtvir declaration of Mvr p. 1921, that the lowest wag-e must not be only enough for comfort but must insure that the struggle for existence shall not crowd out things purely worth living for, and that it should provide for amusement, recrea tion and saving. "The employe has never vio lated any decision of the board ; but the railroads have violated decisions and the employes re fuse to work under the wages fixed by the labor board which violated the provisions of the transportation act. . Not Obstructing Trains. "The board has attempted to unload the financial burdens of the railroad management upon the employe through inadequate wages and will undermine the health and prosperity of the next generation. After exhausting all other methods the employes sought again to obtain a con ference and an agreement with the railroad executives. Only as a last resort did they strike. We( respecuuny insist, ma. no inter ruption of commerce or inter ference of mails was -caused by direct or unlawful acts of the organized employes, and such in terruptions and interference re sults inevitably from attempts of the railroads to operate with in sufficient .incompetent and un skilled workmen. Waiting for Agreement. "Such interruption and inter ference .will continue and in crease until the agreement is ob-j tained upon just and reasonable wages between the representa tives of the skilled employes and the railroad executives, who up to date have refused even to meet with the employe's repre sentatives. We stand ready to cooperate whole-heartedly with any oJTort to bring alut such an agreement." Tk. railroad executives will not yet agree to enter conference to settle the rail strike, despite their announce-j ment yesterday that they would not confer until the men returned to work, according to Ben Hooper, chairman ofj the United States railroad labor board. Hooper is now working out further I plans for such settlement. The union, leader assert willingness to nego- tlate with "reasonable and Just wages"! as the basis. I In the meanwhile trains in the east are being curtailed due to the strike, and In the west due to the coal short-) age. No trains have been affected onj the coast yt. viAi.nr. brake out aaain in Oenison. Texas, and Saginaw, Michigan, wherej strikebreakers were beaten.

Hooper, head of the Btrlking shopmen. Their answer in the form of a letter addressed to Mr. Hooper, who said that he was acting in a 'per sonal capacity" lu initiating the ne gotiations, asserted that the strike was called In defiance of the hoard, and therefore any conference be tween the executives and the strik ers would not be "permissaMo or tolerable" as It would place the car riers in the position of seeking to find means to subvert the decision of the board. I'nre Itrrull of Strike Order. "A prompt recall of the strike or dsr," the letter added, howfver "would permit the resumciion of ftormer methods of conference and and permit the consideration of any matters which representatives of employes might desire to submit." The willingness of tho roails how ever, to respond promptly to any summons by tho labor board to any further hearing that may ae called in connection with this schedule in event the hoard should determine upon that course was expressed in cloning by the executives.-The letter was signed by Samuel M.

Jle re fused further comni'eiit declar'nr that he could not speak until he had heard from Mr. Hooper who had op ened negotiations with him. Jewell Wires tn Harding. CHICAGO. July IS. Ilert M Jewell, leader of the Btrlkln-; shoo men and the six International pres idents of the shen crafts, today wir ed a reply to president Ilardlng'r proclamation on the strike sanation Jewell charged that the railroads have not lived up to the transport ation act and Hint the strikers walk ed out because the wages fixed by the labor board were In violation n' the provisions of tho transportation set. The strikers insisted thnt. no Interruption of co iene or inter ference of the mail had been caused by any unlawful art by the shop men. The telegram laid bitch In terference to the railroad's attempt to operate with incompetent work men. Jvwell and his associates nite ated their desire to cooperate in any effort to bring peace, hut that up to the present the rail cnwutlves re fused to meet the employes- repre sentatives. Such action as was tak"n by Harding in the coal strike is sug gested by the new move of the shop craft leaders. Mobilizing Motor Heet. IWA8HIN0TOS. July 13. (As sociated Press!
