HOUSE RECONVENES
- FOR INDEFINl
Washington, Aug. 8 (By the yVaao
ciated Press).?President Hardin]
has asked 'congressional leaders, h
view of tho menacing industrial sit
uation arising from coal and rai
strikes, to hold the house, now in re
cess, continuously in session alon*
with the senate after the house re
convenes next Tuesday.
The prospect was that failing earl 3
settlement of the labor controversies
the administration might call for leg
islative action to enable the govern
ment to cope with conditions whicl
thus far have failed to react favor
hbly to efforts on the part of the ex
ecutives.
Meanwhile the leaders of all unioi
organizations in the transportation
field began to gather in Washingtor
f~r a conference to determine the response
which shall be made to President
Harding's latest offer of a settlement
basis for the seven railroad
unions now on strike and to determine
as well, according to statements oi
those who will participate, what
joint of cooperative action the labor
board forces shall take in case ths
president's offer is rejected.
B. M. Jewell, chairman of the group
of officers of the striking unions, declared
that he bad received hundreds
of telegrams today from locals of the
shop crafts "telling us to reject the
president's offer, and not a single
one asking its acceptance." '
Separate conference between the
Southern railway officials and representatives
of the striking shopmen
cn lines bvoke up finally today when
the men declared that only n natiorral
settlement of the Strike could be
accepted by them even if the railroad
conceded seniority rights to re
turning strikers. Fairfax Harrison,
president of the road, later issued n
general notice to all of its employees
that the company considered it had
"more than fulfilled its obligation to
its striking employees" and that its
duty was now to provide unimpaired
transportation service. "This we will
perform," Mr. Harrison declared.
Suggestions were advanced that
congress might be asked to authorHarding
find it impossible lo~ terminate
the strike .satisfactorily, with
the further possibility that direct legislation
amending the transportation
act might be sought to make the
railroad labor board decisions in wage
matters binding upon managers and
employees.
There was also a proposal in some
quarters that jurisdiction might be
given the board by law over differences
which arise during a strike as
did the present seniority issue.
Some cabinet members considered
it likely that the whole situation
might be put up to congress in a special
presidential message, should pre
vailing difficulties continue or multiply,
but at the White House an ad
- 1 J J ?.v.?
ministration spoKcsman ??iu
president would not anticipate hii
course.
Mr. Jewell and W. H. Johnson,
president of the* Machinists' association,
in public statements today declared
that all the railroad union
heads, called to meet Friday, would
pass upon the answer the striking;
union will make to the president's
linal proposal. Giving out figures on
the condition of railroad equipment,
Mr. Johnson asserted it "would tak^
the railroads a year to get their
equipment back into shape if the
si like should stop right now."
They further charged that strikebreakers
were being "hired in Eurono
nartieularlv England," by some
of the roads, naming the Chesapeake
& Ohio as one such road.
"We found at Huntington, W. Va.
men who had been brought over foi
the purpose," Mr. Johnson asserted
"and we have cabled British labor or
ganizations asking them to sprend
Ihe knowledge of these American ad
vertisements, and intend also to cite
the cases to the immigration authori
ties as violation of the contract la
hoi* laws."

FATAL SHOOTING
IN GREENVILLE
Spartanburg, Aug. l%o tneji
are dead, the third will, die, according I
to physicians, and a tad ten ye^ra of |
age, the son of one of the dead men,
is wounded as the result of a desperate
gun battle at the base oi
Glassy Kock mountain, the region of
Greenville county known as the "daTk
/iryrner" this afternoon. The dead are:
William Howard, 30 years of age,
near whose home the shooting occurred;
Thomas Scruggs, 40 years
of age, and a resident of Spartanburg
County, residing between Finger
vitle and Chesnec.
The wounded are Alexander Siuiduth,
30 years of age, whose home
is on Glassy Rock mountain; Dallas
Stiuggs, 40 years of age.
The scene of the battle is ne-w the
home of William llowar *, six miles
w<rt of Gowansville and about nine
milts from Ca.npobello, in the region
the United States government took
over in the war days as an artillery
range, and whie it was early in the
afternoon, it was. toward? evening
before even the local authorities were
aware of the tragedy, and ar. inquest
was held by Magistrate A. B.
i-Mumley of Gowansville.
imuicuiareiy iouowing me snooting
Alexander Sudduth and Dallas
Scruggs, the wounded, were brought
to the general hospital in Spartanburg
by Sudduth's brothers. Suddutl)
is desperately wounded, while the
boy, it is said, will recover, his wound
being in the shoulder.
At 9 o'clock tonight Sheriff Roetor
and Coroner Vaughan, of Greenville,
arrived at Gowansville. There
they met Magistrate I'lumley returning
from the scene of the shooting
carrying the body of Thomas
Scruggs, which was deposited on the
store platform while the Greenville
officers went over the evidence before
the magistrate's jury. It was generally
inadequate and it is possible
another inquiry will be held. While
the testimony does not include the
statement, it was freely stated that
the difficulty started when William
Howard .^and Early Harrison came
upofl Sudduth, Scruggs and the boy
at Scruggs' car left on the road
tome distance from 3udduth'? houeer >
and proceeded to look into a sack they
carried, which, it was stated, contained
glass jars and four hot water
bcttles. The testimony of Early Harrison
is to the effect that William
Howard fired the first shot and Alexander
Sudduth returned the fire.
Harrison says he ran away, but returned
later to find the two men
dead and the two wounded. It is understood
here tonitfht that Sheriff
Rector has ordered the arrest of
Harrison.
Shortly before midnight Sheriff
Rector and Coroner Vaughan came
to Spartanburg and obtained from
Alexander Sudduth a statement regarded
as his death bed account of
the affair in which the sheriff quotas
Sudduth as saying: "Sudduth and
Scruggs were sitting by the side of
the road. Scruggs had a sack containing
several hot water bottles and
several glass bottles full of liquor,
all in the sack. Will Howard and
Early Harrison came up. Early Harrison
demanded them to halt and
Will Howard fired a rifle, shooting
Sudduth in the bowels, and shot him
several times. Sudduth while falling
returned the fire and killed Will Howard.
Other shots were fired after
Will Howard was shot down and h?
thought that Early Harrison fir?d."
Premier Poincare and
Lloyd George Can't Agree
London, Aug. 9.?Premier Poincare
and Lloyd George are apparently
farther apart on what is to be
done with Germany than before they
met and conferences of Allied state,

Franc.
British relations are worse than
they were with no decision of moment
on the reparations question.
Premier Poineare indicated to Lloyd
George that things can not continue

London, Aug. 8 (By-'the Associated ^
Press).?The proposal^made by Pre- a
mier Poincare of Frajjfcce for control [
of Germany's finances?In return for a d
moratorium for Gerntyjiny, seems not f
to have found favor xgith the British |
and Italian financial Experts, mainly |,
because tney foresee J that the plan >
would involve the alliM in embarrassing
political entanflNnents, which
would not be justified'by what might q
be g fined financially. * * j.
This developed to^py during tiie a
discussion of the Poindare plan by the
financial experts when there were sev- ,
eral animated tilts. ..There was no ()
meeting today of the conference prop- ^
or, the time having beeri entirely d? -1 ()
voted to consideration ef the French d
proposal by th? committee of experts.
They did not have .time to conclude ?
their deliberations, and .will reassem- '
ble tomorrow morning', when they v
liopc to be able to draft their report ^
for submission to the Conference in
the afternoon. The committee's tasl.
is merely to study the proposal with ^
regard to its. applicability and its j
probable yield, without passing judgment
on it.
Among the new point ,Examined today
were the possibility 'of establishing
customs barriers o'i the eastern |
boundary of c icupled terriof
feliT" 0
ure of State owned minels, forests and 1
domains on the left bank of the P.hine
and also whether the 28 per cent of
customs duties provided for in the
agreement of Mny, 1921, which now
goes to the allied treasures, could, instead,
be paid to the reparations commission,
thus forming part of the reparations
fund.
In today's discussion the Belgians ~
strongly supported the French viewpoint,
in opposition t-o the British,
while the Italians leaned toward the ^
British position, which appears to be *
that it may easily be possible to vo- 11
sort to measures of such stringency 1
as to defeat the object in view, while
running the risk of ultimately disor- a
ganizing Germany's economic life. 11
