RAIL STRIKE THREAT ; MEN REJECT DECISION Definite strike threat was contained in a statement issued at the federated shop crafts to its 500,000 members in the railroad shops late Friday. The officers of the shopmen's unions following a conference in Chicago, rejected the new overtime rules promulgated in a recent decision by the railroad board. Pending conferences with railroad executives to "ascertain their attitude 'on the new rules," President B. M. ;jewel and six other union leaders requested the men to stay at work. Prepare for War "But, with our conclusions firmly fixed in mind," the shopmen were told i"we hold it the duty of each individual member to 'in time of peace prepare for war and each of you are, therefore, requested to carefully conserve your personal finances, secure supplies of food, clothing, fuel and other 'household necessities. "Further, we hold it to be the duty, and we hereby direct, that each local 'lodge of each affiliated organization conserve its finances by carefully guarding its expenditures, and also that the funds of the local lodges, district system councils. Joint protective boards and system federations, be increased to the greatest possible extent by a method most acceptable to the membership. It is further declared in the statement that "your representatives are 'convinced that these organizations were never confronted with a mor 'critical situation."

LEADERS SUPPRESS SECRET SPY SYSTEM OF BOLSHEVIK RULE j (By Associated Press) REVAL, Esthonia, Aug. 27. The powers of the "Cheka", or extraordin ary committee .to combat counter revolution have recently been curtailed .say Moscow advices from inde pendent sources. These are in some measure corroborated by Bolshevik newspapers. It was the "Cheka, witn its powers of arresting without warrants, secret condemnations and death sentences, which ordered and carried out most of the executions during the period of "red terror" in Russia. Some of the soviet government officials, considering that the period of civil war and counter-revolution was almost completely ended, favored the abolition of the "Cheka" altogether, it is said. The controversy between those desiring to abolish it and those considering it still necessary is now understood to have been settled by a compromise. M. Krylenko, a former sailor, the public prosecutor of the "revolutionary tribunal" led the fight for abolition, according to newspapers in the Baltic states. Dzerzhinski, president of the 'Cheka," opposed him. The government resolved on a reform of legal procedure, under which the "Cheka's" powers are principally confined to cases of espionage and participation in revolts but without power to pass the death sentence except in localities under martial law. A "supreme tribunal" is to be established. This is to act as the highest legal body, as court of appeals, and also as an institution of supervision. In exercising this supervision, the tribunal must include a representative of the "Cheka." In theory the revolutionary military tribunals in the army and on the rail ways are abolished, unless military operations or uprisings render their retention necessary. The functions at present exercised by these courts will be transferred to special departments which are to have the right to pass sentence of death in regions not under martial law. HARDING AUTHORITY SUBJECT OF DEBATE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON". Aug. 27 Official opinion was divided today . on the question of President Harding's authority to make recess appointments to federal posts during the present adjournment of congress. The president was said to take the position that since congress stood adjourned, he had under the law, the right to make the necessary recess appointments for carrying on the work of the government subject to the approval of the senate, where necessary, when that body reassembled. A memorandum prepared for Attorney General Daugherty after close study of the subject by the department opinion oy rormer Attorney General Knox, which held that where the congress adjourned sine die the president was entitled to name recess appointees but where the date of reassembly was fixed, as in the present case, the president could not make appointments necessary of confirmation during the recess. Sousa Denies Deafness; Still Hears Dinner Bell (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.
