Week of railroad shopmen strike ends with sporadic violence
Chicago July 8 The first week of the railway shop men strike ended last night with scattered clashes across the country. Troops stood ready in Illinois and soldiers were summoned in other states as union officials railroad executives and the United States Railroad Labor Board held firm. B M Jewell head of the AFL rail employees department criticized the labor board and railroads for delays, while Ben W Hooper of the board urged following the maintenance of way precedent. The shop crafts issued Strike Bulletin No 1 praising the strike as 100 percent perfect and noting letters of support from trainmen and engine service unions. The dispatchers were advised by the American Train Dispatchers Association of the strike's legality and warned against acting on injunctions to disrupt picketing. The bulletin warned against rapid attempts to end the walkout or compromise the union’s demands.

Langin aviation field removal urged by General Mitchell
Wheeling July 8 Brig Gen William Mitchell assistant chief of the United States air service said he favors moving Langin field near Moundsville to a location closer to Wheeling. He noted Langin is off the main air route and too low for night flying with high tension wires near the site interfering with radio operations. Mitchell and his sister are spending the night in Wheeling en route on a Chicago to Washington auto trip. He discussed weather research and sun radiation studies with local officials and noted the sun's fluctuations may be studied to improve forecasts, while stressing no definitive answer on long term sun temperature. Local society notes and visits fill the remainder of the page.
