WALKOUT MAY BE AVOIDED Supreme Court Deals Organized Labor Sever Blow France's Refusal to Reduce Reparation Blocks German Loan Plans Radical Republic-ans Win Victory In Iowa Primary Election. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ABOUT $00,000,000 having been oft their yearly pay by the federal railway labor board, the railroad shopmen are taking a vote re-turnable on June 30, on the question of accepting the reduction or going on strike. The mulnienance of way men. whose annual wages were cut some f.r0.0(i0,0u0. also are taking a strike tote. Thus, apparently, the country faces a strike, probably effective In the middle of July, that might come near to ty-ing up its mil transportation. But there Is hope that It will not eventu-ate. An affirmative strike vote Hnd an actual strike are different things, and the vote Is but seldom used only as a weapon in the hands of union off-icials In negotiating. Itallrond execu-tives profess to believe thut the men will not even vote to strike. A com-mittee of six rail presidents Issued the following statement: "There Is no talk of strike among the men," the statement says. "The disturbing statements are prepared hy leaders of the unions, whose viewpoint has been distorted by months of efforts before the hoard to resist the Inev-itable downward trend of wages. The employees are In the mnln sincerely In terested In taking care of their Jobs and their home. Hnd few employees In any Industry have more good reasons for doing so. prime court, rend by Chief Justice Tmt. In effect sets aside the damages, l.nJ.ng the acts which caused the of property were not Incited ( r i lie purpose of restraining Inter-state commerce. But the court also licid that lubor organizations, even though not Incorporated, are not only uobie, but are untenable to the Sher-utu- u antitrust luw, and under It may be prosecuted for restraint of inter-state commerce. Samuel Gompers, as might be ex-pected, denounced this decision bitter-ly, saying that It set a precedent under which capital "can Impose any condi-tion on the working people of the coun-try, and they would not dare resist." He declared he believed congress and the people of the United States would repudiate the ruling, and continued: "The court has, for the first time In the history of federal legislation, laid down the principle that a voluntary corporation Is liable for damages by any act of one or a group of Its mem-bers, no matter how far unrelated they may be In distance or supervi-sion." Unless It Is nullified hy congression-al legislation, this decision of the highest court in the land will power-fully and widely affect the future rela-tions of union organizations with em-ployers and with the general public. BniTISII, Itullun and Belgian the reparations commis-sion voted to enlarge the International committee of bankers that was trying to adjust Germany's financial affairs and to permit it to make its own In-quiry Into Germany's capacity to pay, Ignoring the London schedule. Amer-ica's unofficial delegate, Roland W. Hoyden, though he could not vote, stated that he considered the repara-tions demanded $33,(KK),(XX),(K)0 to be too high. France's representative, however, Voted In the negative. This created a tense situation, for although a unanimous vote Is necessary for the reparations commission to reduce' the sum demanded from Germany, until 1020 only a majority vote Is needed to give Germuny a purtlal or full mora-torium. The bankers, recognizing that una-nimity does not exist uiuong the nations that would be expected to participate In the Immense loans they were plan-ning for Germany, decided to give up all Idea of an International loan, and so rermrti'd to tlm retmi-utlnn- n commix. recede one step from Its May 11 memo randum, which disrupted the Genoa confub.

ALEXANDER, king of Jugoslavia, Marie of Rumania were married Thursday In Belgrade In the presence of representatives of nearly every nation In the world. The affair was marked by all the splendor and display of medieval times and the ceremony In the ancient Byzantine ca-thedral was followed by a great pro-cession of quaintly clad deputations from the provinces, with wonderful floats and pageants. Ordinarily the marriage of royal ,personoges excites only passing Interest in these days, but this one is of more importance In that by It are linked the dynasties of three Balkan countries. It serves to strengthen the little entente, and pos-sibly to lessen the danger of future wars In that long turbulent part of the old world. PROGRESSIVES In the Republican another victory last week In the nomination of Col. Smith W. Brookhart for United States sena-tor from Iowa.

The latter proposition, of course, would put the mutter up to the United Stares, which up to the present has shown no disposition to scale down the vast amounts owed her by other na-tions.

EXASPERATED by the continual warfare In Ireland between the Sinn Felners and the U-lster folk, the British government has undertaken to resume control of the situation. Large reinforcements were sent to the troops already In the Island and vigorous nttacks were made on the republicans who Infested the bor-der and regions adjacent. The British used airplanes nnd small war vessels with telling effect. The Free State leaders and the British government are discussing chances In the Irish con-stitution which the latter demands, and both sides are awaiting the Dall elections, which come on June 10.
