GOVERNMENT TO BE
FOR A TIME
Chic,ago, Aug. 3 (By the Associated
Pfe8a)./*-fl,h,ere was a lull today in
tho peace maneuvers in the mil strike.
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.

Death of Mrs. John Hodge '
Mrs. Eliza James Hodge, wife of '
Mr. John Hodges, died in a sanitarium 1
in Columbia last night and her remains
were brought up from the capital
city on the last evening train.
Mrs. Ilodge is 42 years old and a de- 1
voted member of the Baptist church 1
at Brown Chapel, near Pacolet Mills. 1
Her death was expected as she had 1
been a long time severely afflicted ]
with pellagra, and this disease caused 1
her death. 1
Besides her husband she leaves the '
following: Jack Petty of Trough, Lee 1
Petty of Monarch, Simon Petty of 1
Buffalo, Sam Petty of Pacolet, all '
brothers and the following sisters: i1
Mrs. Ida Fowler of Pacolet, Mrs. An-'
nie Tindall and Mrs. Emma Thomas! '
of Greenville and the following chil-l 1
drcn: William, Ben, Maggie, Annie
and Arthur Hodge, all surviving.
Mrs. Hodge bore her severe afflictions
with great fortitude and at all 1
times trusted sweetly in her Savior 1
and her death has cast a deep gloom '
over our section, as Mrs. Hodge only
| moved from Monarch in the early
spring, going to the country to try
and regain her health. Before her '
marriage she was a Miss Petty and *
her last sad rites will be interred in 1
Fairview cemetery today, Tuesday,

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
