MEDIATION EFFORTS 1
ANOTHER CONFERE1
Washington, Aug. 15 (By the Asso- i
ciatcd Press).?President Harding J
will place the vail strike situation before
congress and before the oountry
within the next 48 hours, it was officially
announced today at the White
House. The announcement, -follrvwo.-t
a cabinet conference after the radioed
unions made put- ic their lvjoeric
n of President Hardin#'.-; last settlement
proposal.
Washington, Aug. IB (By the Associated
Press).?President Harding,
having abandoned all efforts at mediation
of the rail strike was declared
today by his advisors to have virtually
decided to inform ail rail executives
that in the operation of trains they i
will be given full protection and aid |
of the government. The president, it
was stated, determined that the only!
course th0 government now could pur-!
sue was the path followed in the coalj
strike, and the extension of the invitation
to employers to operate property
and federal gocernment with the cooperation
of the state would stand behind
them in their efforts to serve the
public. The consideration being given'
President Harding was asserted of|
going before congress within a few
days with a comprehensive statement
of the \vho'e rail situation including
the rebuffs that have met the government's
attempts at a settlement. |
Washington, Aug. 14 (By the Asso-, (
ciatcd Press).?Heads of railroad la-j \
bor organizations not on strike (tot u
their attempts to mediate the strikes i
of shopmen and other crafts in trans-1 s
portation service back before Presi-1
dent Harding toduy, and after a two
and one-half hour White House con-!
ference declared they intended to re-!
approach raili*oad executives. j
L. E. Sheppard, president of the Or-j
der of Railway Conductors and
spokesman for tho entire group, declare
. ott leaving the White House
the striking unions would leave
"their cose in the hands" of himself
and his associates, while as to the
sporadic walkouts of brotherhood
?s*i Jiiaiub.rs in yaihulg coun-|?
try, he said, "the president doesn't intend
to ipake any issue against men
who leave unsafe engines."
Mr. S)\eppard, like other union officials,
refruined from specifically indicating
what basis was being considered
for further compromise attempts.
The meeting with the president was!
arranged by Secretary of Labor Davifj
after a?l Uie "union chiefs, including
those on strike, had been in one of!
their general executive sessions to
consider policy. I
"It has been much the same story.j
We have been discussing the whole
situation from top to bottom, and now
we are going to look for somebody to i:
give us help in our mediation at- i
tempts," Mr. Sheppard declared, t]
"That means some railroad executives t
not sn I cnapinus of their nnints ns
those we have seen. We shall talk c
over the matter of who might help s
villi all the union officials tomorrow. (
"We have found the president deter- t
mined to give the workers the same i
consideration as the employers. We
do not understand that he is going to ?
make further advances to the execu- !
fives.
"The situation as to local walkouts
of other crafts is clear. It's all news, j
paper talk that the people have been j
'marooned' in the deserts. Our men c
have taken every train into the terminals,
and the passengers have been
left at p aces where railroad men live. [
"All our discussion relates to the j
fundamental rights of men who are on i (
strike. The railroad labor board takes1 -]
the position they are not entitled to (
consideration. Lots of lawyers hold t
with us that their rights are only sus-! ^
pended. We've made a basketful ot j
propositions. I can't tell you all of {
them.' * I ,
Reverting to the policy of his own
union, Mr. Sheppard said that "offl-1
cers of our order are on their way to j
get men back at any points where1
walkouts are not justified." 1
"Our orders are that men are to a
stay at work, unless their lives are en- t
clangored," he added, "and to make ar t
honest effort t? maintain transports- j j
tion service, with equipment that is f
safe."
Representatives of the railroad F
managements apparently were not involved
in the continued union media-1
tion efforts and Fairfax Harrison
president of the Southern railroad, is- (
sued a statement from the road's gen t
eral headquarter.* t.iat his j-ir-?any
would now attempt to break the
strike by employing new men. Acting j
apart from all other railroads, the;
Southern, he said, had hitherto tried'
to "so operate our property that our,
men could honorably return to work,"i
but had been unable to effect a com-1 j
promise.
"We must now turn to emnlovine
others, for the road must run," Mr.
Harrison concluded. "If it means war
to run the Southern Railway, then let 1
' % us have it now?not later." t

LONDON MEETING
WITHOUT RESULT
London, Aug. 14 (By the Assooiat d
Press).?The 18th allied confer
n<~e on German reparations broke
town today, ''agreeing to disagree,'
is the spokesmen for both France tint
Jreat Britain put it, there having
eon a complete lack of unanimity or
imp rtant points discussed.
From its commencement the concrenee
seemed predestined to failire,
according to the views expressed
v close observers of the situation,
ml these observers tonight are of
lie opinion that the failure indicates
itler incompatibility between the
lolicies of Great Britain and Franco
oward Germany.
To what extent the recent note of
lal'l Balfour contributed to today's
esults is partly evidenced* by the
ine of the 11th hour attempts by
h'gnor Schanzer, the loading Italan
delegate, at mediation with Prenier
Lloyd George at Chequers Court
Sunday, when the Italian foreign minster
proposed that discussion of a
noratorium for Germany should be
djourned until the various countries
lad carried out their debt funding
egotiations with the United States.
Mr. Lloyd George submitted this
imposition to the conference today
iut, although it was supported by the
liber delegates, it was opposed by
r PfTinnn ro nrt/1 iKnunnnnn
iloyd George declared he was unible
to agree to an adjournment of
he conference without a moratorium.
The situation now appears that the
onference has separated without any
ilea of a new conference. The Britsh
government insists upon a nigraoriuni
as an imperative precedent to
iny further negotiations. On the
ther hand, M. Poincare resolutely reuses
a moratorium, unless it is acompanicd
by what he calls "guarnnecs."
The English critics of the situation
s between En? nd and France saw
to other outcome from the first. They
teld that M. Poincare feared his
tarliamcnl and apprehended a fall
ike that of former Premier Briand if
te yielded to British persuasion. The
revious allied conferences concernng
. Germany generally have ended
ifith some show of a surface agreeaent
between the policies of Great
iritnin and France. This was almost
he first occasion on which the deleates
"agreed to differ."
The situation is considered all th?
nore serious, viewing the continuous
all in the mark and the fact that
lothing whatever has been decided
ipon beyond a temporary suspension
f the reparations payment due by
Jermany tomorrow. The whole quesion
again is thrown into the hands
f the reparations commission and tolight
neither from the French nor
Iritish delegations could anything be
leaned concerning the next step to
e taken. Both sides are awaiting
urther discussions in their respective
abinets.
Paris, Aug. 14 (By the Associated
'ress).?Premier Poincare has called
meeting of the French cabinet for
Vednesday to considod the internaiona!
situation, it was announced tony.
The premier will renew his intruct'ons
to M. Louis Dubois, presilent
of the reparations commission,
o oppose the proposed moratorium
or Germany, it also was learned.
