CHICAGO, July 27. (By the

possible settlement ot the strike
of some 300,000 railway shopmen

1 Shop craftsmen who remain

NEW YORK, July 27. (By the
Associated Press.) That "a man

without official standing In labor
circles, sent Presidentf Harding

a lengthy reply from the White
House, reiterating the govern
ment's position on the rail and
Coal strikes, was the belief ex
pressed here today by .Sam Gomp
ers, president Qf the American
Federation of Labor.
The message to Mr. Harding
predicted that "to attempt to op

by military forces or to attempt
to draft men," would result in
the approach of. "the long pre
dicted war between capital and
labor."
It was signed "J. Cleve Dean,

The president addressed a re

message. In which he said In
part:
If you mean to challenge the
righteousness of free men to be
protected in their lawful pursuits
against interference and violence,
t win be glad to join you in sub
mitting that question to the de
cision of the American people.
Mr. Gompers expressed surprise
that the administration should
have shown such concern over the
J. Cleve Dean message, as to have
replied to it, especially since, the
labor leader asserted, the White
Honse apparently was "all in the
dark" as to" the identity of the
sender or his capacity in official
circles of organized labor
The White House called me
yesterday, asking if I knew this
man," said Mr. Gompers. "I told
