Strike Jtanders turned thoir attenti<- n toward Washington where President Harding had a telegram sent by the shopmen accepting his peace proposals on condition that the union's interpretation of settlement suggestions bsrecogniled. ?IIV ??uirn; <*rc HI '? awoiiitig news from the capital. nftec their acceptance of the Prorf lejit't* suggestions except that relating to seniority. Washington, Aug. 2 (By the Associated Press).?Further government action in the railroad strike was held in abeyance today, though railroad executives " who refused President Harding's suggestion for settlement J yesterday were understood to have apprised ' administration agencies that the door was still open for negotiations. If protection in seniority status acquired by shopmen who have continued" to work in spite of the strike could he guaranteed by any basis of settlement the president might find fair it would be favorably considered hy the managements, it was said. Tentative negotiations during the day, it was added, had brought no immediate tangible results. The president was said to be awaiting the text of the reply which union leaden at Chicago were drafting to his settlement proposals. Secretary Hoover, who attended the session of) the road executives at New York, saw Mr. Harding on his return today but! said that no immediate governmental steps were to be expected. Other cabinet members who saw the president for discussion of strike matters indicated the feeling that claims of raurvaa managements as to tneir aDHity to maintain transportation would get a test during the next few days. There officials left the inference that if the strike demonstrated symptoms of dissolution as predicted by the carriers, the president might not move again. It was again emphasized, however, governed the president's action in the rail strike to date, and would continue to do so. This was most Important in the prospect it held out that coal carrying roads of the district south of the Ohio river might draw practicular government attention of even control, unless betterment of - their transportation capacity is accomplished very soon. These lines serve the larger non-union fields which are the chief source of current coal supply for the northeast section of the United States. Three of them, the Louisville & Nashville, Norfolk & Western and Chesapeake & Ohio, have been forced, it was pointed out, to resort to embargoes against other than coil and the commodities listed for prior shipment by the recent emergency orders of the interstate commerce commission. Coal production in the territory, though sharply curtailed by the shopmen's strike from July 1, has been increasing for the last ten days, according to the railroad car loading figures. The definite answer of the strike leaders to the president's settlement proposals was expected to reach the White House late tonight and to be made public by tomorrow. Oomment was withheld, though press reports of their acceptance were forwarded to the president.

WORD AWAITED S FROM UNCLE SAM Paris, Aug. 2 (By the Associated Press).?Some staloment of the G American government dealing with s' Ihe note of the Earl of Balfcnr, act- p ins British foroign secretary, concern- a ing allied war debte is anxiously d iwaited in reparations commission t, rcles, where it was said tonight that I; ' a Pi?if ioh ? ^Vr 1WJ1I VVJUi UUUt^?v/lV 11 VIA UlVCi* 3 ailied, debts would, npt have tho effect tl L>f prpvpnting a Franco-British fepa- Ii ration settlement. n Information is said to have reached ti reparations headquarters from an ti authoritative source that Lord Bal- c Four's note was a "trial balloon sent is jp for the purpose of placing respon- u sibility of solution of the debts at the door of the United States." u If the balloon bursts through a re- If fusal of the United States to depart C from its already established policy the a reparations experts have been inform- t; ?d that Great Britain will proceed to h a decision at the coming meeting of F the French debts commission regard- a less of the American policy. Little h hope is entertained among the rep- T arations experts that the United c< States will change its attitude toward the debtors, but the point is empha- e: sized that Lo?'d Balfour's exposition c< clears 1he atmosphere of all doubt as g to who holds the key to the whole problem. It is felt that the United tl States is bound to make somo answer ti even if indefinite in character. f( Is London, Aug. 2 (By the Associated Press) ? The British government's \ note to Great Britain's allies in the j. great war, reminding them that they ? 5\ve Great Britain money and that she ti has a right to ask for payment, has d thrown wide open the most delicate tl topic in international politics. The a discussion of the question of debts tl nwp<i tr? Great Rritain had Vieen A studiously avoided by all concerned, a apparently with a view on the part of the creditor nation that the time for n grasping that nettle might most con- s veniently be indefinitely postponed. n The most cheerful view of the ef- y feet of the Earl of Balfour's note dis. & cov?rable today was that it will afford an understanding all around of .what fcrfc-the policies rind Intentions of fht? governments concerned. Tt is considered that next to repudiation or an t equivalent plea of inability to pay s uncertainly is probably the worst tl damage which Europe and the world] * of business could continue to suffer, j r Within a few days?after nextj 0 week's conference between Premiers' s I.lcyd George and Poincare?the poli-j v ries of both Great Britain and France; should be made clear. The French' ^ position in One vital respect already is [ u plain?that all European post war m-l v riebtcdness is linked together and nhy j, solution of the situation must depend c upon what Germany may bo willing! j, or forced to do. f Capt.
