WASHINGTON, July J. The mori of ths Harding- administra tion against tha Chemical Found tlon, Inc., waa (ho chief topic of discussion of official Washington on this slxxllng hot Sunday'. Tha determination of tha ad ministration to take steps against the Foundation, which was orga nized by Francis P. Oarvan and several associates tn the Alien Property Custodian's office under the Wilson administration, whs revealed in a letter made public yesterday at the White House In which President Harding instruct ed Thomas W. Miller, the pres ent Alien Property Custodian to demand return of all patonli, copy rights and other property trans ierred to the , Foundation. The move came as a complete sur prise to a. great proportion cf of ficial Washington and for this rea son ft waa a aubject of conversa tion today wherever officials met. Officials closely connected with ihe administration's move deelln Jl to supplement what was con ned In tha President's letter and tha accompanying statement by Afttorney General Daugherty sav ing that the transfor of patents' had been under consideration for some months by the Department of Justice and that the. President's Instruction would be promptly carried out. Alien Property Cus todian Miller, a well ns Mr. Dausrhertv. wer nttt n t t H .tv and A.

Mr. Woodruff, who ha attacked the Department pf Justice on the grounds that it had been remiss in prosecution of war frauds, de ecribed the President's action as "splendid" - and added ', that the course waa fully justified in view Ci the charges made In congress at various time that the founda tion hart acquired from the alien property custodian's office German patents worth from 116.000.000 t MO.OOO.OOO.j or approximately! 1250.000. . Democ ratio member generally have pointed to Mr Garvan's tea - (lobby investigating committee as n answer to these charges. Mr Garvan before that committee said the foundation acquired its patenta, copyright and other similar prop erty through a sale made under executive order Issued by Acting Secretary of State Polk at the dlr "Htion of President Wilson.

Railway execu tives, union leaders and the United States Rsllroad Labor Board marked time today in Jhe country wide atrlka of ahop men white train service continued uninter rupted by Saturday's walk out. R. M. Jewell, head of the ahop men. who Ignored the ordera of the Labor Board to appear be fore It and explain hla strike action spent the day at union haadquar (era receiving reports from all aeo tlons of the country. .While he refused to give anysflgures' he as serted that the walkout was "prac tically 100 per cent." Railway executives, however, claimed that probably less than 20 per cent of the 401,000 repair men had joined the walk out which began at 10 a. m., yester day.. Because of the Sunday hol iday, they said, they had been un able to make a complete check of their ahop men, but that train ser vice would continue regardless of how many laid down their toola. , With the union leaders refusing to treat with the labor board the railway executives asserting that the dispute was entirely between their former employee and the government, and the labor board assuring the full protsctlon of th government, Interest In railway circles was centered on Detroit, where the executive council of the United Brotherhood of Matnten ance Employes will, meet . tomor row, to canvass the strike . ballot of the track men. Hod wss ex pressed by the rail executives that ins - mitensnc or wty men would not Join the walkout Mr. Jewell today explained ; he Ignored the labor board's summons bscause the board failed .to ex clude from wage reductions hear Ings' almost 20 roads that had in fart or wholly violated rulings of the government - trlbunil which, he said, has caused railroad em ployes to regard the ooard with no slight misgivings. Eighty Roads Charged With Violations. "Practically all of thsse eighty roads violated decisions of the ia bor Board," Mr. Jewell aald. "Yet they were Included In the wage re duotlon hearing. If th board nad ruled that theae road were not entitled to participate in these nearings the respsct of railroad labor for th,a tribunal would have Deen increaaed materially. Rail road labor would then have look ed upon the Board'fts a tribunal willing and ready to deal out Jus tire, if this had been done, the omolals of tha shoo craf'.a could have gone to the men with this as an argument and' averted the atrlka. But this waa not don and postponement or ine strike was humanly .impossible. "In -the first place: mf aooear- anee before tha boarj could not have resultsd In arbitration. The board Should have subpoenaed iiffl- clala who algned the agreement au thorizing the strike. Only tlioee men could recall the order. If I had drfne any such thlnj; I would have forfeited my office Immedi- tely. "Justification of mv refuaal to obey the aummons Is seen in tho fact that the men are now on atrlke. without bloodshed or less of life and are upholding It and order. If I had gone before the board thero would hive resulted mlaunderatandlnga which would have ended In choas among; the shop craft." . Mr. Jswell said the announce ment of the result of th shop men's ballot would probably bs made public tomorrow following meeting of the executive rnunr-il of the union. He aaid that since the atrlke orders became effective he has received numbers of tele grama confirming re porta that the walkout almoat 100 p-' cent effec tive. One of the telasram.. h a,C'arei was from (he nation! headquarters ef the Brotherhor.1 of Railway Car Men of America, and said that thla organisation was 100 per cent respj.-islve to the strike order.
