President Harding < ' 'Was advised today by Chairman Cummins and Senators Watson and Kel- , logg of the interstate commerce committee of unavailing efforts made by i them in the conference with several leading Eastern railroad executives i last night to obtain a basis for set- 1 tlement of the railroad strike. The senators declined to discuss their report prior to the presentation 1 to the President. On leaving the Whit? House they ' said they merely made reports. 1 It was said that future conferences 1 "probably" would be held. ] Washington, July 20 (By the Asso- j ciated Press).?An effort to settle the ? railroad strike at a suddenly arranged conference of heads of leading railroads and members of the senate in- ( terstate commerce committee here to- \ night was understood to have failed. J < Ruvnuing tne conrerence Mid it bow appeared that -a strike settle* \ ment was much more distant and ex- < pressed pessimism over the immediate j outlook, viewing the coal and railroad , strikes together. \ The conference which was said to have beeiwcalled on the initiative of j Senator Cummins, chairman of the j senate committee, was attended by T. ] DeWitt Cuyler of the Association of , % Railway Executives, L. F. Loree of the Delaware & Hudson, E. J. Pearson of the New York, New Haven A Hart- i ford, W. W. Atterbury of the Pennsyl- j vania, Frank H. Alfred of the Pere , Marquette and eSnators Watson of \ Indiana and Kellogg of Minnesota, ( both members of the senate interstate commerce committee. The principal ( points in dispute between the execu- j tivefc, who were called here more or ( less secretly late today, and the union j were gone o$er in detail at the con. ( ferei^p, together with the possibility t of legislation to meet the situation. < It was said that no legislation was practicable to deal with the present . strike. The rail executives, it was stated, were Insistent upon three points which the unions are demanding as a reces?lien* to <?nd the mat hack1 ui W*k.s These atfe the seniority rule, the restoration of the pension status and the question of boards of adjustment between the employers and employees. At tonight's conference it was said that the rail executives declared they could not and would not yield to the union demand for a national board of a<?)ustment. They also were said to be insistent upon refusing to restore the status quo of employees on strike with respect to ttheir seniority and pension rights. AH of these have been! demanded by the union representatives as the price for ordering the men back to work pending a rehearing of the question of wage scales.

Sees' retary Hoover announced that within a day or two the interstate commerce '- commission and the commerce de< partnient would put into operation a t scheme of diverting to essential s transportation lines the coal coming from non-union mines and those that - may be opened up in union territory, 3 by use of priority orders, governing e . transportation, he object will be the n maintenance of the transportation l' machine. v Next in order for coal supply from the diminished output, it was indicatP ed, would be the Northern Great Lake ~ | ports and should it be found impose | sible to avert a shortnge, the coal 3 distribution plar might be expanded 0 to become a complete rationing of e supplies to other industries and ter1 ritories as their necessities might ap8 pear. 0 ( Attorney General Daugherty commented in connection with this plan v that the strike disruptions had almost made it certain that there would %e a coal shortage next winter. I Replies of governors to President S Holding's invitation that they guarc | antee protection to mine operation jn ~ | spite of strike continuation continued I to come to the White House. I Governor Grosbeck of Michigan G , outlined nlnn<3 for nnoninrr rviinuo I there under state control with federal sanction, but comment was witha Held. ?* In connection with a message from ?. Governor Morrison of North Carolina . questioning the president's policy in asking that the mines be opened even if force was necessary to protect workers, high administration officials t pointed out that responsibility for . coal production in that state was k small. n Reports to government departrj ments indicated that while trains are _ still being withdrawn by railroads, f the' movement of the mails and likek wise of all necessities of life is cone tinuing throughout the country. Mail cars, are being attatched to trains e still kept running, with motor trucks d in readiness to supplement this serv. ice. Secretary Hoover in dusfussing the a possibility of coal rationing today tort jdicated that imports of coal from c I abroad might help the situation, particularly in New England, where the ports are equipped for unloading coal from ships. He pointed out that a e considerable number of cargoes had t been coming to Atlantic harbors from England since the American strike y began. d Prices for bituminous, it was said, ^ have risen to levels higher than those set by voluntary agreement between f the non-union producers and the comr merce department some weeks ago. c Unofficial reports from the West Virt ginia" coal fields, where the bulk of s Eastern non-union coal has been produced indicated a steadv decrease in r production, due to railroad service ? disabilities. Officials considered it significant evidence of the relationship between i- the coal and railroad strikers that clerks and freight handlers on the t Chesapeake & &Ohio nnd the Norfolk j & Western roads should be called out y; since these two roads serve the greats|er non-union coal fields.

't1 I REPUBLICANS TO H INVADE SOUTH By Hugh W. Roberts. Washington, July 20.?From au- ci thentic information reaching Washington, it is quite evident that the sc Republicans are preparing for a field to day throughout the South in the No- cc vember elections. ar The unusual activity to that end resuits from tht> work of a special com- st mittee, of which Congressman Bascom fe Slemp of Virginia is chaitman. The by committee was instructed to visit all sa of the chairmen and other leading w< dam..U: ? ? jL\c|juuncuns inrougnout tlie South and n^ tell them plainly that their represen- k* tation in the national conventions or hereafter would not be allowed to continue as it has been heretofore. 1? There have been too many delegates ur and not enough votes in the Southern 19 states. Hereafter, there must be at least 2,500 votes "cast in each congres- no sional district to permit that district lit to have one representative in the er national convention in addition to the four delegates from the state at large, so Twenty-five hundred will be the mini- A1 mum. Consequently, the word has tic been passed to the "faithful" to reg- w< ister now, so as to be prepared to id' make the necessary showing at the he polls in November and reports receiv. wi ed in Washington indicate that South- to cm Republican registration will pro- th ceed at a rate heretofore unheard of. ve Mr. Slemp himself, a super active T1 Southern Republican, has declined to stand for reelection to the house of in representatives. The reason he as- m; signs is tl\at he Has been here long of enough and wants to rest, but those th who understand the situation and real- tic ize his devotion to the Republican pe party are strongly of the opinion that wj he seeks to be relieved of his routine ac duties so that he may devote more wj time to Republican propaganda and to organization work throughout the m South. cs This situation, Democratic hadeis wi pointed out here today, puts the issu squurely up to Democratic voters-, mc.i or and women alike, to enroll for then- wi primary elections and to secure the thi proper registration certificates for an the general election in order to meet fo the increased Republican regist.ation an which is said now to be going on at an exceedingly high rate. t co no Three White Men gc Beat Negro Girl (*u PC Greenwood, July 20.?Because they at believed she stole a $10 gold pie< e cn from one of them, three white nun an vr alleged to have almost beaten to death w< Irene Fisher, an 18-year-old negro girl, near Greenwood Tuesday nicht.

Cattier of Belgium made the atement at the final session at the ace palace that he was authorized 1 the American charge d'affaires to y that the American government >uld adhere to the resolution whicn id just been adopted, whereby the vernments engaged not to assist ly of their citizens in attempts to quire property in Russia which benged to citizens of other countries id was confiscated since November, >17. The United States, he added, had ? i intention of departing from its le of conduct with regard to propty expropriated in Russia. The resolution itself gave rise to me debate. France, thnough M. phand, moved to amend the resolu>n so that the word "belonged" juld becom<> "holnno's " I'VnnKo'v ca was that although the property id been seized by the Bolsheviki, it is legally left in the possession of reigners and that in the resolution e use of the present tense of the rb should clearly record this fact, le amendment was rejected. The Baltic states did not succeed their efforts to have set up some achinery for possible continuance * the work of The Hague. Believing e Russian project for the recogni>n of debts and the right of comnsation for confiscated property is a logical basis for an eventual cord with Russin, the Baltic states inted to create some organization r receiving the Moscow governent's reply as to whether the newt proposal of its Hague delegates is officially ratified. Through this organization the Nethlands government, for instance, it is pointed out, could then transmit e reply to all the other governments, d, if favorable, it could serve as the undation for renewed negotiations, id perhaps another conference. The Baltic delegates were firmly nv;nc ed of the necessity of losing i opportunity to provide for ?he re_ neration of Russia. They were iniced, however, not to push their >int and the matter did not arise the closing session of the conferee which adjourned after the propty resolution and a series of reports ;re adopted.
