NO DEVELOPMENT IN!
LEADERS OF BOTH
Detroit, July 17 (By the Associated|
Press).?The members of brotherhood
of maintenance way employes wao
engaged in the unauthorized strike
will not be expelled from the union
"for the moment", but union organizers
will be sent to interview strikers
to attempt to persuade them to remain
at work pending the final decision
as to the national strike, President
Grable of union said today.
Washington, July 16. ? Develop^ments
in the railroad strike in the
capital today were confined to the receipt
of reports by the three govern.
monf ^- *
mivmw uvj<a>vuiviita wuiiii, uy vjitut' U1
their functions, are keeping most
>?., closely in touch with the situation.
At the White House and elsewhere
in government circles, the outcome oi
the forthcoming meeting of officials
of the maintenance of way employees'
union at Detroit was being awaited as
A holding potentialities of first import..
^0/ ance. E. F. Grable, president of that,
organization, declined to indicate last
night when he left Washington for
Detroit after a conference with President
Harding what action he would
recomihend to his associates but reiterated
the hope that a conference
would be forced between the railroad
executives and the shopmen now
on strike which would bring a set%
tlement.
A report on the recent disorders at
Denison, Texas, was received at the!
war department today and was taken
at once to the White House. It was,
understood to have been from the
army inspector ordered to the scene
by Secretary Weeks, following requests
for troops from the federal
receiver for the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad. The effect of the re
port was not made public, and no
statement on it or any other phase of
the etrike was forthcoming from the
White House during the day.
Next to the meeting of the maintenance
of way union interest here
centered chiefly upon the effect of
the strike upon the transportation of
the' mails. Postmaster General Work
was at his office practically all day to
receive reports from postal inspec
tors. t -ryr-'Tjmt'* >
Few reports of interference with
the mails were received, however, postal
inspectors indicating that the only
serious trouble reported had occurred
on the Wabash system, In Missouri.
Troops have been requested
by the officials of that road, it was
said, because of disturbances at various
points, especially at Hannibal,
Mo.
Mobilization of motor truck units
has moved forward with much suecess,
the department announced.
Postmaster General Work expressed
the opinion, however, that the use of
motor vehicles would not be resorttd
to except in extreme emergency and
that from reports at hand he was confident
the railroads would be able to
transport the mails with but little delay.
"There is no occasion for the public
to feel disturbed over the prompt do-.

READY TO HANDLE"
COTTON CROP
All of the cotton cooperative asso
ciations organized this year will be
ready to handle the 1922 crop, according
to D. G. Hill, Jr., of Dallas, Texas,
office expert of the American Cotton
Growers' exchange, who is in Columbia
for a few days advising with
officials of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers' Cooperative association.
Five states have organized this
year?South Carolina, Georgia, North
Carolina, Arkansas and Alabama.
Arkansas and North Carolina are
Veady to receive cotton now. South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama will
be ready by August 1.
Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and Mississippi
associations functioned last
year and are ready, of course, to receive
the 1922 crop, Mr. Hill said.
The results attained in thoss states
last year were very satisfactory to
the members, he said, notwithstanding
the fact that these associations
had to pave the way and naturally
made some mistakes at first that the
associations beginning business this
year will not make.
A total of approximately 2,500,000
bales has been signed up in the nine
states according to Mr. Hill, the signup
by states being as follows: South
Cai-olina, 436,000 bales; Oklahoma,
125,000 bales; Texas, 552,000 bales;
A ,.1...oirnnn I?l vr?n
ninaiizsua, 61U,UUU uu its; i>urin v^urolina,
400,000 bales; Georgia, 268,000
bales; Alabama, 125,000 bales, and
Arizona, 50,000 bales. Considerable
more cotton will be signed up in all
of the states before September 1, according
to Mr. Hill.
Arrangements for financing the
1922 crop have been made by all of
the states, it was said. All of the
states have selected their sales managers
and other officers.'
The executive committee of the
South Carolina association will meet
Tuesdtfy and the board of directors
will meet Thursday of this week, it
was stated yesterday. Carl Williams,
president of the American Cotton
Growers' exchange, will meet with
the board on Thursday.

Accept Proposal
Washington, July 17.?Overnight
discussions of the bituminous coal operators
who met here in response to
resident Harding's offer of arbitration
as means of settling the coal strike
has developed a great diversity of
conclusions. It appeared likely, however,
there will be in the hands of the
President before night the acceptance
of the arbitration proposal, practically
without condition that a majority of
the employers would join in its support.

STRIKE MOVE I
BEING WATCHED
y *
Chicago, July 16 (By th? Associated
Press).?A veil of si lehce descended
like a blanket over tfce railway strike
situation today as both Railroad heads
and strike leaders turne^ hopeful eyes
toward the momentous!,developments
the new week was exported to bring
forth.
The bitterness which* has marked
the progress of the walkout at times
during the past two wefks, seemed to
have been succeeded bjTya peace almost
approaching an phderstanding.
The hurling of verbal challenger.,
claims and counter claiih^ Ultimatums
and defiances, apparently had ended
through exhaustion or ta* hope ">f an
early agreement.
Railroad executives 'liho declared
their willingness, last ntpbt to attend
any meeting called by the United
States railroad labor foard with a
view to effecting a settlement "that
would not nullify, hut;would uphold
and carry out the boasdfc decisions/'
spent the holiday away 'Atom their offices
and in seclusion, '8^
B. M. Jewell, leader o^'the striking
shopmen, visited his aljhest deserted
headquarters for a shortftime only to
run through his mail telegrams.
He read the railroad executives' statement
with a quiet grin, tint refused to
comment on it. "There-.uflM be nothing
over the week-end," he jpd.
"I can't sav a wOMfc son?not m
word," Ben Hooper, cfcaflpman of the
labor board, sighed weaflly, throwing
his arm across the shoqldfcr of the reporter
who had found hiijfcjilone in the
offices of the board.
Despite the silence off the leaders,
with accompanying ro?drs or a tacit
armistice or truce to fuller consideration
of points brought out during
the week at conferences, hopes of
an early settlement w#re expressed
freely in both railway add labor quarters,
although no tangible basis for
these expectations was jgiven in any
case. ; I One
of the factors moid often quoted
to justify a belief that the drift
was towards peace, despke the failure
last wek of Mr. Hooporta efforts to
bring the labor leaders and the executives
together, was the Statement of
K. A. Heiuiing, gfinergjtyej^r^an <>?
the federated shop" crafts "of tne
Northwest, that only the refusal of
Eastern roads to agree to reinstate
striking shop crafts workers with
their full seniority rights Is preventing
a settlement of the strike so far
as the Northwest roads are concerned.
The railroads throughout, it was
declared, have insisted that their men
return to work as one of the first
etoiw tnwnril npni>p and fVio hpliof
was expressed that the restoration
of the rights sought would not alone
be a great stumbling block. In this
connection it was asserted that the
roads had to a large extent stopped
recruiting men to replace strikers.
On the other questions at issue?
outside contracting for shop work,
modification of certain rules and
working agreements, the establishment
of conciliation hoards and
wages?it was declared thtft most of
the roads had already agreed to abolishing
outside contracting as ordered
by the labor board and to establishing
early the conciliation boards under
the federal transportation act.
Thus, but two questions, it was asserted,
were now at issue?rules and
wages, both of which might again
be brought before the labor board for
decision on the demand of the men for
a rehearing.
Married
Mrs. Rosa Wood and M. L. Sweat of
Ottaray village were united in marriage
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock
at the home of Rev. I.ewis M. Rice, the
officiating minister.
Mr. and Mrs. Sweat have hosts of

Peace Negotiations
I Stancjftill
Chicago, July 17 (By the Associated
Press).?Peace negotiations in the
railroad strike are temporarily at a
standstill today. The rail executives
and strike leaders expected today developments
to indicate more clearly
the ultimate outcome, however much
importance is attached to the number
of shopmen returning to work today
as this day marked the time limit on
many roads for retaining seniority
and other rights.

HARDING WILL I
STAY ON BOARD
By Hugh W. Roberta.
Washington, July 16.?Newspaper \
correspondents received the tip today i
from sources regarded as close to the f
president that W. P. G. Harding of t
Birmingham will be reappointed go., v
ernor of the federal reserve board. C
According to this tip, the name of
Governor llarding will be sent to the 1
senate contemporaneously with the s
nominee for the vacancy recently i
created by an act of congress and re- I
served for a "dirt" farmer. The c
term of Governor Harding will ex- I
pire August 9. Already Andrew W.
Mellon, secretary of the treasury, has n
indorsed him for reappointment. i
If this tip is correct, it presages \
a battle royal in the senate. Tn * I
president has been importuned by b
bankers and business men through- I
cut the United States to give Gover- \
nor Harding another term. By cer- i
tain senators and heads of farmers' c
organizations, the president has been I
urged to name another. From the <
farmers themselves, no word has I
reach the president. t
The senate fight will be long and of ?
doubtful issue, it is indicated. In the t
first place, it is possible that an in- t
vestigation will be ordered into the c
administration of the governor, this ^
despite the "fact that investigations o
have already been made. This would
cause great delay, and the vote of the i
investigating body will depend on the c
nature of that body. An investigation *
by the agriculture committee might 1
have one result; by the finance com- ^
mittee, another. t
The vote in the senate likewise will <.
be doubtful. Senators from agricul- c
tural states, however, will not stand >
unanimously against Harding. It is
anticipated that the following sena- t
tors from cotton growing states will 1
support him: Glass and Swanson of
Virginia, Simmons of North Carolin-i,
Dial of South Carolina, Shields of
Tennessee, Williams and Harrison of
Mississippi, Runsdell of Louisiana, s
Owen of Oklahoma, and Underwood
of Alabama.

Union Wins Another
"Jaybird" Arthur's Union mill
team made it eight out of nine when
they defeated the railroad clerks of
Spartanburg in a one-sided game
here Saturday by the score of 15 to
four.
A hit coupled with a sacrifice, a
hit batter, and two errors gave the
visitors three runs in the first, but
the locals came in and made nine runs
in their half on six hits, four errors,
and two sacrifices, four men getting
to bat twice in the inning. Mehan
gave up only two hits, in the first and 1
second, both these being singles by
Vandivor, the clerks' shortstop.
Discarding the first inning, it was
a good game for it was "three up
and three down" for the Spartans
every inning after the second. McCall
knocked a home run in the eighth
with two on. Ward and Arthur fielded
their positions well, Ward making
a stellar play of a line in the eighth.
Epps and Thompson each secured
three hits and Arthur, Cheek, McCall,
Mehan and Vandivor each secured
two.
