C., Thursday Afemoon, July 20, .1922 3c Per Copy CHAIRMAN HOOPER Al OF EFFORTS TO SETT Chicago, July 19.?Failure of all i efforts to bring about the settle- I ment of the countrywide strike of the railway shopmen was announced in a statement tonight by Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the United States labor board. "As there does not seem to be any probability of reconciling the antipodal views of the carriers and the men, the labor board and none of its 1 members are now engaged in further < efforts along that line," the statement said. At the same time the statement pointed out that virtual agreement * had been reached, between the rail ' heads and the strike leaders on all of 1 the five points in dispute except that 1 of the return to the strikers of their | seniority rights?a question which was not originally in dispute between #the roads and their men. Railroad (executive^, through the Western presidents' committee on public relation of the Association of Railway Executives issued a state- ' ment tonight corroborating Chairman Hooper's statement that no further 1 peace conferences were being held and that the seniority issue was the principal stumbling block. "There are now no conferences in r progress looking to a settlement of . tha shop crafts' strike," the executives' statement said. "Chairman ^ Hooper of the labor board has held informal conferences with some railv way executives, but these have had no results and are now at an end. ''Since the strike was called the socalled question of 'seniority rights' has arisen and has now become one of importance." Chairman Hooper's statement said ? k.lJ u Luuici oucc vrao iiviu iaat ?jatuiuajr between B. M. Jewell, head of the shopmen, A. 0. Wharton, labor member of the board, and Mr. Hooper, and heads of the seven striking organizations, when Mr. Jewell indicated he would be willing to submit to his committee an agreed program if J the carriers concurred in it. The program, Mr. Hooper's statement s^d, was. as follows: "Firstr that the carriers which hltif arbitrarily changed the wages and working conditions of the employees represented by said seven organizations, by means of the contract system, in violation of the railroad labor board's decision, should withdraw from this practice. This applied to only a few roads, as the others had heretofore announced their willingness to cancel such contracts. "Second, that the authority granted by the transportation act to the carriers and their employees to set up ' an adjustment board or boards be exexcised by establishment of a national adjustment board, for the hearing of all disputes except those affecting wages. "Third, that the employees involved in me sinae prucwu 111 coiiiormity with the transportation act in the settlement of the dispnted rules an<^ wages, seeking from he railroad labor board a rehearing of the recent wage decision and promptly submitting the seven disputed rules to the adjustment board with the statutory right , of appeal to the labor board. "Fourth, the carriers to withdraw or dismiss all lawsuits growing out of the strike. "Fifth, all men now on strike, i those laid off, furloughed or on leave J of absence to be returned to work and their former positions, with seniprity and other rights unimpaired. "As a method for securing a conference fully representing the carriers and the employees concerned, It was contemplated that the railroad labor board should call a hearing for that purpose." Mr. Hooper said he had submitted the proposition to several railway ex- , ecutives with the agreement that if a tentative agreement could be reached it would be submitted to other executives. Mr. Hooper said he understood the program had been laid before a large number of executives. "My investigation of the attitude of the carriers has convinced me," his statement said, "that no serious obstacle is to be found in any of the items above enumerated, execept the fifth." Only 16 out of 201 class one railroads had entered into the contracting out of shop work and most of them have now discontinued it, his statement continued. The carriers raised no objections to reopening the wage decision and the dispute regaining seven protested rules, he said, and declared that "the foregoing disposition of contracts, wages and rules would remove from conflict all three of the questions on which strike votes were taken." i Regarding adjustment boards, Mr. i ijfc Hooper said, many roads are willing to have regional boards, some are 1 willing to have a national adjustment j board and some favored boards on t each individual road.

M, Jewell, leader of the shopmen's strike, predicted today that the railroads will capituate and fettle the strika-jjBKBa:i two weeks. The "strike is becoming more effective daily," he said, "and the roads will yield soon as we bring them to their knees." The railroad executives' statement on the seniority question was characterized by Jewell as Camouflage and was designed to conceal the real issue of the national adjustment board. The executive board of striking unions will meet this afternoon to consider a reply to the statement of the rail officials last night.

Collier, commissioner general of the United States to the Brazilian centennial exposition, had disclosed "no basis for any charge of dishonesty or mora] turpitude." Mr. Collier has been directed to return to Rio Janeiro to take charge of America's participation in the exposition. fnent of some sort could doubtless be reached upon this matter," he said. "At present," the statement con.inued, "there is no possibility of any igreement on the reinstatement of he striking employees with all rights restored." MAY REMOVE I ARMED GUARD Florence, July 19.?General Manager Albright of the Atlantic Coast i Line railroad today telegraphed 1 Mayor W. R. Barringer of Florence in < answer to the mayor's request for the I removal of the armed guards from ] the railroad property here that if the t pickets were removed by the strikers < and that if acts of violence such as i had been reported to the company of- i ficials were not renewed the company, ? he thought, would be in a position in a short while to dispense with at least i a number of guards. i Mr. Albright charged the police de- t partment of Florence with inaction. 1 This Chief of Police Mclver disputes, < stating that he had answered every i call promptly and had made ever ef- j fort to run down every case of inter- 1 ference that had been deported to him. Mayor Barringer telegraphed i the Atlantic Coast Line officials to- t night, renewing his suggestion that the guards be w.thdrawn, declaring the local officers with the help of the union officials could cope with any situation that was likely to arise. Although there have been the usual number of rumors the police department has been unable, said Chief McIver, to find disorder of any kind had taken place here in connection with tka strike. Mayor Barringer was asked to remove the guards by the striking shopmen as well as the transportation men.

A gentleman from another city, visiting in Union, made the remark that there were more men and boys loafing on the streets of Union, day in and day out, than any place he ever visited. If this is true, there should be some provision made to put them to work and a mighty fine plan that works like magic in other cities is to have everbody register and carry a work card. Then if a person has no visible means of support, the city could easily find something for them to do. # 1 0 Services at Mt. Tabor There will be two services at Mt.

Furman science hall at Furman Unii \trsity, constructed $n 1911, at a cost of more than $50,000 was completely gutted by flre which was discovered about 5 o'clock this jmorning and which raged for several hours before it could be gotten under control. At a meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees today, it was decided to replace the building in exactly its former state, the work to begin at once, with the ex pectation of having it in readiness about the time of the opening of the fall term at the university in September. On accotint of increased cost of building now as compared with the time when the building was erected it is estimated that it will require about $59,000 to $00,000 to rebuild i* Insur. finco to the nmnunt nf XS9 uino carried on the structure, and it is understood it is regarded by insurance men as virtually a complete loss. The fire started in one of the upper floors of the three-story brick struc ture, the theory being that it orig inated in the chemical laboratory through spontaneous combustion. The blaze had evidently been burning for some time before it was discovered. The alarm was turned in by a newspaper carrier boy who happened to see the glare through a window on the second floor of The News building. The fire department responded promptly but virtually the entire loof was blazing fiercely when they arrived. All available fire fighting apparatus in the city was put on the task, but through a lack of sufficient water mains on Furman campus, the firemen were seriously hampered in their efforts to get the flames under control. The main which was at flrst tapped, it developed today, is on a "dead" end of the water system and the water did | not flow in sufficient quantity to supply the pumpers. The result was that for a time only one or two streams, of rather insufficient force, could be turned on the building. The flames worked rapidly downward from the top floors, completely gutting the structure from bottom to top. The wallrar^atfll^stnndmjr Apftirranfcfy hv tact, but whether or not they can be used without partially rebuilding had not been positively determined today. It was 8 o'clock before the fire was completely under control. Several of the firemen suffered slight injuries as a rc-sult of parts of the cornice falling upon them. Virtually the entire equipment of the building was destroyed. A private li brary of Prof. J. Scott Murray, consisting of many rare and value volumes, on the third floor of the building was completely lost. The building housed virtually all the class rooms in two science courses, together with chemical, physical, biological and other laboratories of the university. Chief Donald of the city fire department tonight said he did not believe the damage would run as high as was first thought and estimated the d mage between $30,000 and $40,000. Grenville, July 19.?Fire of unknown origin early Wednesday gutted the two opper floors of the James C. Furman Hall of Science at Furman! University, causing damage, variously estimated at between $25,000 and $50,000. Mechanical trouble with two of the big pumping engines of the CiWenville fire department and a fire hydrant connected to the "dead-end" of a water main hampered the work of the fire fighters. The blaze was gotten under eontrol after four hours of hard work. Valuable laboratory equipment and a library belonging to Dr. J. S. Murray, containing 1,500 rare and priceless volumes in ancient and modern languages, were also destroyed. The executive committee of the board of trustees passed a resolution authorizing the immediate rebuilding of the burning structure. The building and contents were insured for $32,500.

MAN Nashville, ]Tenn., July 19.?Four men were arrested tonight and five A others were being sought in co.ince. >'< t'on with an alleged attempt to hang tl J. F. Brittain, an employee of the Had- M nor shops of the Louisville & Nash- w ville railroad near here last night. g-jj Brittain told the sheriff he wa> bt seized by nine men as he was leav- ft1 ing work Tuesday and was told the> f? intended to hang him, and that a rope m was carried along for that purpose, re After being forced to accompany the ts men for a short distance he broke away and escaped, coming into Nash- C ville where he reported the matter vi to the sheriff.

Oth- m erwise Waycross has been quiet ever of since the troops arrived here. w Lieut. Col. L. C. Pope entered a con- tji terence this morning with the mayor, h< representatives of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and of the strikers. This C was held behind closed doors. The city and county were given until 10 o'clock tomorrow m< rning to show why troops should not remain on duty. It was understood that 50 deputies will be sworn in by Sheiiff Sweat ^ to handle the situation and permit the K withdrawal of troops. Lieut. Col. Pope Sl declared he had no intention of rec- P ommending withdrawal of his men un- s til toe isr conrtotced 'that local authorf-ties can handle the situation. Troops have not been doing patrol duty, being confined closely to then camp. Should officials fail to satisfy the commander of their ability t4 handle the situation, it is believed ? likely the city will be declared under a martial law and the troops will begin patrol duty. ^ r Asheville, N.
