ISFFUK15 FAIL
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Washington, July 21 (By the Associated
Press).? 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.

WOULD REJECT I
FORD'S OFFER
Washington, Juty 20*?Rejection of
Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals 'F
and enactment of legislation for de- ii
velopment of the war built projects s
in Alabama by a government owned d
and government controlled corpora- tl
tion was recommended to the senate v
today by Chairman Norris of the sn- r
ate agriculture committee. n
The agriculture committee chairman's
views Were set forth in a e(
voluminous report, different portions ci
of which were supported by various *
members of the committee. Senators n
Page of Vermont, McNary of Oregon, e
Keys of New Hampshire, Gooding of a
Idaho, Nordeck of South Dakota, Har- o
reld of Oklahoma and McKinley of b
Illinois (Republicans) and Kendrick tl
(Democrat) of Wyoming, the report tl
stated, favored rejection of the Ford t<
offer along with Chairman Norris.
Senators McNary, Nordeck, McKinley ci
and Gooding, it was added, concurred tj
with the chairman in the rccommenda- o:
tioh for government development ei
along the lines detailed In the pend- c<
ing Norris bill. r<
Others, the rpnnrh aoiH nKo/.wKnJ

to the recommendation that the Ford si
offer be rejected. Senator Kendrick si
declared in the senate after submission
of the report, however, that he \
"would be glad to vote to approve ei
the offer of Henry Ford, provided a si
modification is made of the time limit r.<
of the lease." The Ford offer provides ir
for a 100 year lease and Senator Ken- n
drick explained that he favored the nr
60 year maximum provided for such
leases in the federal water power act. ti
The report. criticised the Ford of- si
fee sharply describing it as "the most It
wonderful real estate speculation ci
since Adam and Eve lost title to the w
Garden of Eden," and inquiring "why a
a warranty deed to the capitol at tl
Washington is not included in this 01
great transfer of governmental prop- d<
erty to this wonderful corporation." dl
The plan embodied in the Norris P
bill was as highly praised as the Ford
offer was criticised. It was described tl
as "the most wonderful plan for de- nr
velophient of power on the Tennessee ai
river and its distribution over the tl
{Southern states that has ever been w
proposed in the history of our coun- t-i
try." Its features were outlined in tl
detail and the prediction made that if V
adopted "it means the transformation r<
to a great extent of large portions
of the United States." p
The report submitted today will be t<
followed by another from the com- j?.
mittee next week, presented by Sena- s<

SUPPLY OF COAL
L BEING EXHAUSTED
d Washington, July 20.?Develop1a
ment of plans for stretching out the
y nation's coal supply, now dwindling
?- under continued impact of the mine
? and rail strikes, was the immediate
1 concern today of federal officials actil
ing in the industrial situation. 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.

?* In connection with a message from

. questioning the president's policy in
asking that the mines be opened even
if force was necessary to protect

k small.

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. Some West

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

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.

is pointed out, could then transmit
e reply to all the other governments,

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.
