The announcement, -follrvwo.-t a cabinet conference after the radioed unions made put- ic their lvjoeric n of President Hardin#'.-; last settlement proposal. Washington, Aug. IB (By the Associated Press).?President Harding, having abandoned all efforts at mediation of the rail strike was declared today by his advisors to have virtually decided to inform ail rail executives that in the operation of trains they i will be given full protection and aid | of the government. The president, it was stated, determined that the only! course th0 government now could pur-! sue was the path followed in the coalj strike, and the extension of the invitation to employers to operate property and federal gocernment with the cooperation of the state would stand behind them in their efforts to serve the public. The consideration being given' President Harding was asserted of| going before congress within a few days with a comprehensive statement of the \vho'e rail situation including the rebuffs that have met the government's attempts at a settlement. | Washington, Aug. 14 (By the Asso-, ( ciatcd Press).?Heads of railroad la-j \ bor organizations not on strike (tot u their attempts to mediate the strikes i of shopmen and other crafts in trans-1 s portation service back before Presi-1 dent Harding toduy, and after a two and one-half hour White House con-! ference declared they intended to re-! approach raili*oad executives. j L. E. Sheppard, president of the Or-j der of Railway Conductors and spokesman for tho entire group, declare . ott leaving the White House the striking unions would leave "their cose in the hands" of himself and his associates, while as to the sporadic walkouts of brotherhood ?s*i Jiiaiub.rs in yaihulg coun-|? try, he said, "the president doesn't intend to ipake any issue against men who leave unsafe engines." Mr. S)\eppard, like other union officials, refruined from specifically indicating what basis was being considered for further compromise attempts. The meeting with the president was! arranged by Secretary of Labor Davifj after a?l Uie "union chiefs, including those on strike, had been in one of! their general executive sessions to consider policy. I "It has been much the same story.j We have been discussing the whole situation from top to bottom, and now we are going to look for somebody to i: give us help in our mediation at- i tempts," Mr. Sheppard declared, t] "That means some railroad executives t not sn I cnapinus of their nnints ns those we have seen. We shall talk c over the matter of who might help s villi all the union officials tomorrow. ( "We have found the president deter- t mined to give the workers the same i consideration as the employers. We do not understand that he is going to ? make further advances to the execu- ! fives. "The situation as to local walkouts of other crafts is clear. It's all news, j paper talk that the people have been j 'marooned' in the deserts. Our men c have taken every train into the terminals, and the passengers have been left at p aces where railroad men live. [ "All our discussion relates to the j fundamental rights of men who are on i ( strike. The railroad labor board takes1 -] the position they are not entitled to ( consideration. Lots of lawyers hold t with us that their rights are only sus-! ^ pended. We've made a basketful ot j propositions. I can't tell you all of { them.' * I , Reverting to the policy of his own union, Mr. Sheppard said that "offl-1 cers of our order are on their way to j get men back at any points where1 walkouts are not justified." 1 "Our orders are that men are to a stay at work, unless their lives are en- t clangored," he added, "and to make ar t honest effort t? maintain transports- j j tion service, with equipment that is f safe." Representatives of the railroad F managements apparently were not involved in the continued union media-1 tion efforts and Fairfax Harrison president of the Southern railroad, is- ( sued a statement from the road's gen t eral headquarter.* t.iat his j-ir-?any would now attempt to break the strike by employing new men. Acting j apart from all other railroads, the; Southern, he said, had hitherto tried' to "so operate our property that our, men could honorably return to work,"i but had been unable to effect a com-1 j promise. "We must now turn to emnlovine others, for the road must run," Mr. Harrison concluded. "If it means war to run the Southern Railway, then let 1 ' % us have it now?not later." t BEING CONTINUED; I ICE AT WHITE HOUSE HOME COMING AT ; PADGETT'S CREEK { b The "home-coming" day at Pad- t sett's Creek last Sunday was the be finning of a revival service thut is i f >e conducted by the pastor, Rev.

John G. jandrum, the great preacher, he add- 1 >d, was ordained and sent out to " >reach from Old Padgett's Creek hurch, and many Baptists remember 1 lis name with pride.

From its commencement the concrenee seemed predestined to failire, according to the views expressed v close observers of the situation, ml these observers tonight are of lie opinion that the failure indicates itler incompatibility between the lolicies of Great Britain and Franco oward Germany. To what extent the recent note of lal'l Balfour contributed to today's esults is partly evidenced* by the ine of the 11th hour attempts by h'gnor Schanzer, the loading Italan delegate, at mediation with Prenier Lloyd George at Chequers Court Sunday, when the Italian foreign minster proposed that discussion of a noratorium for Germany should be djourned until the various countries lad carried out their debt funding egotiations with the United States. Mr. Lloyd George submitted this imposition to the conference today iut, although it was supported by the liber delegates, it was opposed by r PfTinnn ro nrt/1 iKnunnnnn iloyd George declared he was unible to agree to an adjournment of he conference without a moratorium. The situation now appears that the onference has separated without any ilea of a new conference. The Britsh government insists upon a nigraoriuni as an imperative precedent to iny further negotiations. On the ther hand, M. Poincare resolutely reuses a moratorium, unless it is acompanicd by what he calls "guarnnecs." The English critics of the situation s between En? nd and France saw to other outcome from the first. They teld that M. Poincare feared his tarliamcnl and apprehended a fall ike that of former Premier Briand if te yielded to British persuasion. The revious allied conferences concernng . Germany generally have ended ifith some show of a surface agreeaent between the policies of Great iritnin and France. This was almost he first occasion on which the deleates "agreed to differ." The situation is considered all th? nore serious, viewing the continuous all in the mark and the fact that lothing whatever has been decided ipon beyond a temporary suspension f the reparations payment due by Jermany tomorrow. The whole quesion again is thrown into the hands f the reparations commission and tolight neither from the French nor Iritish delegations could anything be leaned concerning the next step to e taken. Both sides are awaiting urther discussions in their respective abinets. Paris, Aug. 14 (By the Associated 'ress).?Premier Poincare has called meeting of the French cabinet for Vednesday to considod the internaiona! situation, it was announced tony. The premier will renew his intruct'ons to M. Louis Dubois, presilent of the reparations commission, o oppose the proposed moratorium or Germany, it also was learned.
