SETTLEMENT OF
STRIKE IS NEAI
Washington, July 28.?Propose
for settling the railroad strike, drav
up by President Harding and repr
senting the conclusions reached 1
him after the extended conferences
the past 48 hours with labor leade
nnd railway executives, will be pr

Details of the plan or plans we
sun wiuineid lonigni, out rresiue
Harding was said to feel that pro
pects were bright for an early settl
ment of the controversy which h,
threatened to retard seriously tl
country's transportation system.
A major section in the president
settlement plan was understood to i
volve the seniority issue, which w;
said further to be the only section
the plan to have been identified
among the controversial issues b
tween the railroads and their wor
men.
Another section would concede tl
light of the striker-, to a rehearii
before the railroad labor board <
the wage issue, and another wou
bind the railroads to get up region
adjustment boards, while a four
would require abandonment by ra
roads of contracts with "outsid
shops for repair work.
President Harding was understo
to have suggasted a compromise <
the question of seniority rights 1
-which all men hired since the stri
would retain the positions, the stri
ers regaining their former privileg
so as to rank just behind the nv
who did not walk out July 1.
The strikers under the plan wou
Tetum to work at the scales set 1
the board in its decision of July
which precipitated the strike, b
without prejudice to either side wh
the matter was brought up for rehej

IUGHES PLANNING
NEW HUN TREATY
By Hugh W. Rolwrts
Washington, I). C., July 28.?In orer
that Germany might play a part
i adjudicating claims of Americans
ased on the sinking by Germany of
le Lusitania the Harding adminis ation
is nejjotiating a new treaty
ith Germany.
The fact was divulged today by
ecretary of State Hughes. He deared
opposition to to the bill of Sentor
Underwood providing for the
ppointment of an American comlission
to adjust these claims on the
round- that such a measure would
jn counter to a new treaty in course
F negotiation.
Before the United States could periit
Germany to have a word in passig
on American claims, it was necesuy
that it negotiate a new treaty,
he Versailles and the separate
"eaty guaranteed to the United
tates the right of adjusting these
aims and compensating itself out
f* ilormnn flin/lc Vw>LI K \T thi)
roperty custodian. In those treaties,
ermany expressly agreed that the
nited States should proceed withjt
hindrance.
Despite existing treaties and the
i?reement of Germany, Mr. Hughes
?ys, that it would he unfuir for the
nited States to proceed alone. As
matter of fact the negotiation of a
L'W treaty will require considerable
me and according toSenator Unerwood
today there is no eeilainly
iat such a treaty would be ratified.
The alien property custodian has
ernian property to the value of
500,000,000. American claims, bared
> the bone, will approximate that
mount. If the administration suf>rs
Germany to make additional injads,
Am viean claims can not be
itisfied. nator Underwood is anxius
that American claims be settled
nd that the United States proceed
nder existing treaties as a conquerlg
nation rather than one which
oubts the authenticity of its victory
n the battlefield.
'I introduced my bill," Senator Unerwood
said today, "not for political
urposes but if the administration,
i placate the German vote, defeats
iy bilf and proceeds to the negotiaion
of a new treaty, politics will
ertainly be involved. The German
ote may stand by the Republicans
ut millions of Americans will stand
p and demand the reason why.
"Germany, which sank the Lusiania
before the United States was
ngaged in war, has no right to pass
n the justice of American claims."
The Republicans, it is evident,
rould postpone until after the eleeion
the adjudication of the claims
nder the guise of negotiating a new
reaty which may never he rauneui.

The union leadeis scanned with l
| much interest reports coining from the 1
central competitive fields of western I
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan
on the attitude of the coal operators.
One leader said information I
was drifting in that operators who
had been standing together against an i
i interstate conference "were breaking
! up in spots." This, he said, was a ,
' hopeful sign of an early conference.
What is looked upon as a rather im- (

Mr. Lewis said defin'tely today
there would be no settlement in the
anthracite regions until an agreement
is reached in the central competitive
holds. When that is brought about. ,
