ia_ *THE SUMTER WATCHMAN, Est; CONSOLIDATED AUG. 2, ] RAILROAD 1 EXECUTIVES TO MEET > Conference to Be Held in New York to Con * sider Plans For Set tling the Strike > . Washington. July 27 (By the As socitaed Press),?A meeting of ^eeu?ves of the 148 major rail roads of the United States will be called in New York next Tuesday to consider a plan for settling the strike now in progress, T. De Witt ; Cuyler, chairman of th&Associa * tion of Railway Executives, an nounced tonight after a confer ence with President Harding. Mr. Cuyler added, however, that C; **ho definite basis" for a strike set tlement was ready to be placed before the meeting. His confer ence with the president tonight, he said, had been devoted to a general f survey of the situation. While Mr. Cuyler was* positive in his statement that the basis for the proposed settlement of the strike had not been definitely drawn up, r earlier reports indicated that at least a tentative plan had resulted from the conferences held during the day between President Hard ing and leaders of the various rail road's labor groups. ? President Harding has made no specific request to &he railroad executives,- Mr. . Cuyler said when asked if the question of seniority > rights had. been brought forward at the conference with a view to influencing: some railroads to re consider their stand against return ing these rights to striking shop men. ' The executives' chairman said he was ^unable to foretell whether ac tion in the strike situation would be held in abeyance until the New p. York meeting. The four day delay was necessary,; he explained, in or der that representatives of railroad managements might all get to the meeting place. - Tentative proposals for the set tlement of the railroad shopmen's strike were drawn, up todayt after r a; series of conferences between President Harding and labor lead ers beaded by B. M. Jewell of the shopmen's union. n ?i It was understood .-thatjthe sug gested plan for settlement-?details of .rwhich - were withheld by those participating in Tts formulation? would be submitted later to execu tives of the railroads. The settlement proposals appar ently had reference to the seniority issue, which it was generally agreed was the sole remaining bar to con clusion of the railroad war?or at least of an armistice in the strug gle. . Should the railroad, executives accept the plans, it was said, rehearing of issues which led to the strike would be held before the railroad labor board, and all other questions left to adjudication through such a proceeding. The labor union officials, through B. M. JewelL president of the railway employees' section of the American Federation of Labor. de-i clared they could not r comment \ upon the substance of their discus-\ sions with the president except that every point in the strike con troversy had been gone over. W. H. Johnson, president of the Inter-H! national Association of Machinists;"] Jr A. Franklin, president of the boilermakers; M. F. Ryan, presi dent of the carmen; Timothy Healy, president of the stationary firemen and oilers, James Burns, vice pres ident of the Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers, were in two meet ings with Mr. Jewell and the presi dent. It was understood in Chicago, when- the labor group left yester day for the capital, that they would return tonight. The decision to extend their stay over night, was taken as another indication that hopeful progress had been made during the day. T.' DeWitt Cuyler, chairman of the railway executive association, was with President Harding an hour before the union leaders were received and it was arranged for Mr: Cuyler to confer with the pres ident tonight after the labor group left. In the president's hands while the conferences proceeded was a copy of the proposals which rep resentatives of the ^striking shop crafts on the Baltimore & Ohio had received in a separate meeting with the management of ..hat road. The document was delivered by Senator Watson (Republican) of Indiana, who has been active in meetings with the railroad officials concerned. It was considered possible that the Baltimore & Ohio plan might have been used as a basis for the tentative suggestions developed in today's meetings. A considerable number of rail roads have been willing to return strikers their seniority positions in consideration of a general calling off of the strike but others, in cluding the Pennsylvania system and roads of the southwest, have flatly refused to do so, declaring that it -meant dismissal of men employed to take the strikers' places, and demotion of men who remained in service when others went out. The position of the union heads who met with President Harding today was understood to be that all the roads must concede the se niority point, accepting the return of all the strikers. It was assert ed that the proposition of calling ?blished April, 1850. mi. _ STRIKERS DEMAND SENIORITY ? ? Railroad Executives Take Position That Men Who Remain ed at Work Must Be Protected Chicago, July.27 (By the Asso ciated Press)-Destruction of an incentive to men to remain at work in case- of future strikes will result if present railroad strikers are al lowed to return to work with former seniority rights unimpaired, the Western presidents' committee on public relations of the Associa tion of Railway Executives said in a statement issued today. In the absence from Chicago of B. M Jewell, head of the striking shop men and his international presi dents, there was no statement from strike headquarters. "Not oniy justice," the executives statements said, "but the public in terest demands that in any settle ment of the strike ? the seniority i rights of the men who are now working shall be recognized. "The men who have stayed at work during the strike have been given assurance of protection not only by the railroads but the gov ernment itself," the statement said. The statement asserted that "men who are now working have claims upon the railways and the public' superior to those of the strikers." A second statement issued by the executives said tonight that Wes tern railways with headquarters in Chicago report "transportation conditions continue to be practical ly normal." A large majority of roads, the statement said, contin ued to handle more freight busi f ness than a year ago and all re ported increases in the number of shop workmen employed. The Eastern lines, according to the statement, have 60 per cent, as many employees working in their shops now as before the strike started. disputes as to wages and work ing conditions involving 18 rail roads including the Norfolk & "Western were submitted today to the labor board by E. R. Grable, president of the United Brother hood of Maintenance of Way Em ployees. The cases were in line with Mr. Grable's policy of refraining from joining in the rail strike, but to 3Ubmit disputes in which he was unable to reach agreements with the roads to the rail board. No date has been set for the hearings. ? ? ? m Kills Negro Convict Guard Shoots When Floyd Fa ulk Attempts Escape ? ; ?? Dillon. July 26.?Floyd Faulk, negro convict, was shot and killed today by Elwood Staples, guard, j The negro had escaped and two shots were fired as the negro ran when Mr. Staples came upon him. The wounded negro fell into a stream and belief of authorities here is that neither wound would have been fatal if rhe negro had not fallen. into the stream and in his crippled condition drowned. Faulk had escaped once before,] having only a few months ago been brought back to Dillon from Penn sylvania. off the strike orders even though all but two or three of the major roads yielded on seniority had not been discussed. This left the inti mation that . President Harding would bring pressure upon the ex ecutives of those lines as a part of the strike settlement endeavor. The whole seniority question has arisen since the strike was called, it was pointed out. A cut in wages made effective July 1 under an ar bitration award of the labor board was the only question on which the men walked out and this would be accepted in the contemplated re turn to work, subject only to a re hearing which might be granted. The importance attributed to the seniority issue at today's meetings was connected by some observers with the stand known to have been j taken by certain of President Hard I ing's cabinet advisers, who are said to have been urged that he use every influence to have the rail roads reconsider their refusal to restore seniority rights to strikers. With the strikers back and the transportation machine again in normal motion, these advisers have urged, the other issues in the con troversy would be left to arbitra tion. Labor participants in the presi dent's conferences had the impres sion that President Harding intend ed to persuade railroad executives to yield on the seniority point rath ? er than to use any forcible means. The proposal that the president might ask congress for further le gal authority through the labor board or other boards to enforce his plans of settlement apparently did not come into the discussion ar i today's meeting. The president to j night, however, it was said, declar I ed that the railroad executives have I assumed responsibility ihemselves for continuing the strike in ease he determined that their attitude did not square with administration views of what the companies should do in the situation. "Be Jost and Fear ] PEACE IN j RAIL STRIKE BY I COMPROMISE j President Harding Formulates Plan of Settlement That May Satisfy Shop men Washington. July 28.?Proposals for settling the railroai strike, drawn up by President Harding and representing the conclusions; reached by him after the extended I conferences of the past 48 hours j with labor leaders and railway; executives, will be presented to; separate meetings of representa tives of the two groups next Tues- J day?the railroad managers, meet- ! ! ing in Newark and the employee j envoys in Chicago. { Details of the plan or plans were ! j still withheld tonight, but Presi dent Harding was said to feel that prospects were bright for an early settlement of the controversy which has threatened to retard se riously the country's transporta- j tion system. A major section in the presi dent's settlement plan was under stood to involve the senioritj' is sue, which was said further to be the only section in the plan to have been identified as among the con troversial issues between the rail- | roads and their workmen. Another section would concede j the right of the strikers to a re hearing before the railroad labor! board on the wage issue, and an- j ! other would bind the railroads to j ! set up regional adjustment boards, j j while a fourth would require aban- j j donment by railroads of contracts | with "outside" shops for repair! 1 work. President Harding was under stood tc have suggested a com promise on the question of senior ity rights by which all men hired since the strike would retain the', positions, the strikers regaining j their former privileges so as to; rank just behind the men who; did not walk out July 1. The strikers under the plan; would return to work at the scales; set by the board in its decision of j July 1, which precipitated the j strike, but without prejudice to| either side when the matter wasj brought up for rehearing. B. M. Jewell, president of the j railway employees' (department of; the American Federation of Labor,j and international officers of the! railroad unions on strike left Wash- j ington tonight for Chicago, an- i nouncing that the general strike i committee of each union would J convene in that city Tuesday to consider the president's suggestions.! T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the! Association of Railway Executives ] and principal spokesman of the j managements. announced last j night that the executives would! meet in New York that day for the same purpose. It is expected that preliminary! conferences will be held by each j group, in the endeavor to formu late programs for consideration by the general sessions. The general strike committees of | the union ordinarily consist of a j representative'of each craft in each j railroad system where the strike j is in effect. It was understood that Secretary j Hoover might attend the railway! executives' sessions at New York,! representing the administration, ? and there was a possibility that; Secretary Davis might attend the union gatherings. Mr. Davis left tonight for Mooseheart, 111., near Chicago. Apparently the president's pro posals will go before the railroad employees with* the recommenda toin of their international union officers favoring acceptance. It ap peared improbable that the rail road executives would have the same favorable recommendation from their spokesmen whom the I president has seen. I Although the union leadership was understood to be willing to ! recommend calling off the strike j on a basis which would still leave i their members working at the wage reductions which caused the strike, j the seniority issue which has been : raised since the walkout has been growing more formidable each day. ! Railroads which have been more I or less successful in building up new shop working forces have in dicated increasing strenuous objec tion to proposals that any of th< new men be displaced by returning, strikers. A large number of lines. J j however, including most of those jin the southeast and northwest i sections of the country, have in- i I dicated their willignness to take i ; back all of their men inj the exact] ! positions which they held at the ! time of striking. The union officials, on the other I hand, appear disposed to resist to the end any proposals to settle on j j such roads as will take the set-1 I ltement and leave their men still ? out on the systems which are mak-! ing the efforts to build up new forces. President Harding was said to be convinced, after watching the! attempt of the Baltimore <& Ohio' to make such a separate settle-') ment. tIiis plan could not be fol lowed. There were indications to day that the union chiefs betweenj the several White Hous?- confer ences, considered proposals for it.

C July 27.?Declar ing-that the federal government is now engaged in a steady'encroach ment upon the rights of the states. Gov. Cameron Morrison told edi tors of Xorth Carolina gathered in the glorious jubilee convention of the Xorth Carolina Press associa tion here tonight that President Ilarding's proclamation and call upon the governors to intercede in the coal strike is "an attempt to debase the states." t '?There may be bolsheviki after {me who come into power and they j may attempt to bring sovietism up on the state, but -this will never come while I am governor," he declared. Denouncing what he termed the ??benevolent despotism at Washing ton." the governor reviewed the unrest and disorders prevalent in ! the country. I "Why is all this?" he question ed. "Because of the non-enforce ment of law, because the federal government is assuming to run all business and to assume the right to do those things which the govern ors ot" the states alone can do for the welfare of the people." He de clared that the states must dis charge their duties, that the maj [esty of the law must be upheld by them and that nine-tenths of the I trouble in America today is be ; cause of lawlessness. "Everybody wants to hang the little murderer, and punish the petty thrives but in these things that affect the great mass of the people there is nothing being of j ferod in Washington "but a new Icommission that will investigate [and make a report some day and !in the meantime give thousands of jobs to people.

I Henry B, Spencer Des ignated by Harding to Manage Coal In dustry During the Strike ? ? ?? i? Washington. Juiy 28.?Henry j B. Spencer, former vice president | of the Southern railway and gen- i eral purchasing agent for the war 1 time/ railroad administration, to- | night was appointed federal coal administrator for the duration of the present strike emergency by President Harding. Mr. Spence*?. becomes adminis trative member of the coal distri bution committee which will con trol distribution of available coal supplies on a priority basis to es sential industries and utilities. With the announcement of the creation of the office of coal ad ministrator, confidence was ex pressed at the White House that production of coal, regardless of railroad and mine strikes, even tually would be increased to the point where it would be adequate for the country's needs. President Harding felt so assured on this point, it was said, that he con templated no further move in the coal strike situation. Secretary Hoover, who announc ed Mr. Spencer's selection by Pres ident Harding for the vacancy on the central committee, made 'public also names of operators from coal producing districts so far designat ed as members of the advisory committee which is a part of the federal organization for maintain ing coal prices and insuring fuel distribution. They are: C. E. Bockus of New York, chairman for Virginia; E. L. Douglas of Cincin nati, for Kentucky; George S. Francis of Greensburg, Pa., for Pennsylvania; E. C. Mahan of Knoxville, for Tennessee; W. E. McGee of Charleston, W. Va., and C. E. White of Glen White, W. Va., for West Virginia. C. E. Tuttle of New York was named adviser to the committee on Lake and Northwest movement and LeBaron S. Willard of New York, adviiser on bunker and tidewater movement.- ? The governors of 28 states, Mr. Hoover announced, have undertak en to erect the necessary adminis tration to control profiteering and distribution of coal within their state borders. . States which have reported steps to set up this machinery include Ohio,. Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minne I sota, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, We3t Vir ginia, Ohio, Oklahoma, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana. Kansas, Mr. Hoover said, has already an establishment under its industrial court law, and it is not considered necessary to set up coal control machinery in the inter mountain and Pacific states as they have supplies of both coal and fuel oil. The Norfolk & Western, Chesa peake & Ohio and Louisville & i Nashville, three railroads which traverse important coal producing J sections, today reported institution of embargoes over their fines against all freight except foodstuffs, \ live stock and fuel. The roads act ed, it was said here, under the formal announcement by the inter- j state commerce commission that an j emergency existed which impelled j it to authorize roads whose nor- j mal operation had been affected: by the strike to establish priority J in certain chesses of transport*-; tion. While it was made clear at the j White House that the administra-i tion supervision of coal distribu- i tion would be^irected to the end that the fuel " supply might be! equitably divided among all users entitled to consideration, it was added that no objection woull be made if state authorities went ahead?as has been the case in Indiana and Michgan?with sepa- j rate efforts to provide coal for the : people within their jurisdiction. Senator Borah, chairman of the j senate labor committee, conferred with President Harding today with ] regard to the bill proposing a fed- j eral commission to inquire into the | coal industry. It was said the con- j ference covered only the broader I aspects of the bill. Held at Greenwood Greenwood.

"More terrible : machines than in the late war are I being constructed," said Prime I Minister Lloyd George at a lunch eon given by 300 prominent Free churchmen today. . "What for?" he asked and con tinued: "To attack cities and maim, de stroy and burn helpless women 1 and children. Keep your e3Tes on j what is happening. If the [ churches of Europe and America 'allow that to fructify, they had j better close their doors, j "We reduced our armaments and ? if other nations follow the exam ! pie, there will be no serious men j ace to peace, but it is difficult for a nation to remain defenseless ! while others are preparing for j war." I Mr. Lloyd George said that the j next war, if it came, would be a j war on civilization itself. Speaking j of the suddenness in which war j came, he said: "The war germ is like any other j germ?you do not know that you j have it until it has got you. It is J of no use arguing with an epileptic j when the fit is on him. There is j that atmosphere in the world now J and the explosive material is scat I tered over the face of Europe. "When a match !.? dropped it is I too late to wave tne covenant of i the league of nations. It is the I new spirit that is wanted. Loci: ?up the explosives and especially I lock up those-given to _dropping j machines.

Re said that civiliza | tion would be safe if the league succeeded. If it failed, civilization was doomed, he thought. j Molasses Mixture Found Effective ! Does No Damage to Crops De I spite "Theorizing" to Con trary, Coker Finds To the Editor of The State: I notice in your issue of July 26 that our friend, C. A. Whittle, is still theorizing to the detriment of the calcium arsenate-molasses method of weevil control. This is to inform my friends that we have found the calcium arsenate molasses method effective right up to the present, although we have had rain on 23 different days since June 19. We have made an ap plication of the mixture to our cot i ton this week with apparently good I effect. We have some boll weevil : but except in a few spots they have done no serious damage and we expect to get these spots under control. We had some bad spots two weeks ago which are not now i giving trouble as we brought them under control by thorough poison ing with the mixture. I have never seen the slightest j evidence of any damage to the i cotton plant from applications of j calcium arsenate and molasses in j any form, Mr. Whittle's theories to the contrary. Mr. Whittle says that "calcium arsenate dust has stood the test." One of my men traveled more than 1,C00 miles through Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi last summer and never saw but one man using this meth i od of control, while thousands of ! farmers in South Carolina are j using the molasses mixture, j It is certainly true that no i method of weevil control has had | ; a fair test or can produce maxi- j j mum results during such a season i ! of abnormal and frequent rainfall! j as this. It is equally true, how 1 ever, that the farmers in this sec ! tion who have regularly and intel- ! ligently used the sweetened poison are sure that it has paid them \ handsomely and the best proof of i this is the grown fruit on the I crops themselves. I note in another column of your ' paper a letter from G. B. Kittrell in advocacy of the molasses mix- j tu re and am glad to see his testi- j mony. He says, however, that he j i supposes most people will give me I the credit for the discovery of this I method. There is no excuse fori ; him to say this, as I have never! made any such claim and have fre quently referred to the experience of G. M. Xorris of Vance. L. B. Hill of Oough. Ca.. and others who were using it before I ever heard of it. My sole purpose in giving the farmers information about this method is to benefit them and ag ricultural conditions generally in the south. D. R. Coker. Hartsville.
