SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
RAIL PARALYSIS NOW
REACHES TO YUMA, ARIZ

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 26.-Rail.
transportation throughout southern
California as far as Fresno on the north
and as far east as Yuma. Ariz. was par
alyZed today. A strike which began
last Thursday night when switchmen
and brakemen quit their posts in sympa
thy with a strike of trainmen of the
Pacific Electric Company, operating an
interurban system, and which rapidly
extended TO include other trainmen,
yardmen and shopmen, spread last night
northward to Bakersfield. Cal, and
Eastward to Yuma.
Switchmen and trainmen who met
here last night took no official action
it vas said, on orders from Warren
S. Stone, international grand master of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, and ". @ Lee, Of the railway
trainmen, to perform their usual du'
ties and carry out their contracts"
Commenting On the orders, NJ. z.
Montgomery, international vice presi-
dent of the locomotive engineers, said:
I'VE are urging the men TO return to
work only on the conditions that when
they return they will not be required
to do anything they did not have to do
before they struck and only when it is
quite safe for them to do so. Under
present conditions it is unsafe for the
men TO return 10 work; they stand in
danger of being mobbed. As long as
that situation exists they will not be
ordered back to work"

COMBINATION TO FIX
COAL PRICES DENIED
BY ASSOCIATION HEAD

Washington, Aug. 26.-Denying that
a combination among bituminous Goa
operators TO fix prices exists, j. ID. A
Morrow, vice president of the National
Coal Association, told Il senate coal in
vestigating committee that such com
bination would be impossible If at
tempted. Prices at the mines, he said
have declined under the competition
which prevails and are lower than they
were year ago.
There are about 5000 separate com
mercial producers operating approx
mately 1000 mines from which bitumin
Gus coal is regularly shipped" Mr.. Nor
row said "In addition, there are some
1000 operators with about 5000 mines
who begin producing and selling Goa
whe never the price goes up II little and
offers profit to them. Moreover, there
are hundreds of thousands of acres OF
coal lands all along railroads on which
new mines can be readily and quickly
opened by any one so disposed. Such a
condition obviously does not lend itself
to restrictive combinationes among pro
ducers.
"Of the 5000 separate bitumnous coal
producers in the United states Eva,
approximately 40 per cent, hold member
ship in the National Coal Association.
They produce about 60 per cent Of the
total output of bituminous coal in the
country.
Charges that the National Coal AS
sociation is a combination to maintain
prices are without foundation in fact
The national Coal Association represents
tthese operators and looks after their in
terests in matters of general concern
such as transportation and traffic ques
tions, standardization of cost account
ing. cooperation with governmental
agencies and similar activities.
Mr.. Morrow said bituminous Goa
prices had declined since the armistice
and in general were lower than the
prices fixed by the fuel administration
The cost of producing bituminous
coal is higher now than it was yeai
ago" he said, due to the fact that
the mines then were operating six days
n week and in many cases now are
operating only four days per week, and
In some cases only three days a week
The overhead expense of maintaining
mines goes on just the same, whether
coal is produced or not

q. O. =. SENATOR SAYS SHANTUNG
AMENDMENT Is "P0lSON
DAGGER" ATTEMPT

Washington, Aug. 26.-Declaring
that the republican majority of the
foreign relations committee was at
tempting by the Shantung amend
ment to the peace treaty to drive a
poisoned dagger" into the peace
treaty and to place the United States
in the position of big bully
Senator McCumber of North Dako-
ta, the only republican member of
the committee who voted against
the anne ndment, asked the senate
today to overrule the committees
action.
The speaker said: mo greater
blow could ever be struck against
the real interests of China than by
the committee amendment, the ac-
tual purpose of which he asserted.
was to kill the treaty and the
league. The amendment provides
that the old German rights in Shan
tung province shall so TO China III
place of Japan.
why did the majority of this
committee pause in the first of their
ntlTltlSS
amendment" he continued ~and
then proceed with the usual leisure
TO lay out dates for further hear
ings which will consume Il week or
so more? The purpose is apparent.
1t is to signify to you that the
senate is hostile to this country. 1t
has put Japan in n position where
she cannot without an appearance
of being coerced do what she has
promised to do. 1t is to create trou-
BILE between this country and Japan
and thereby send the first dagger
thrust into the body of this treaty.
"Is it an act of true friendship to-
ward China or a mere political move
to defeat the treaty? If its spon-
sors now fail to come forward and
openly pledge that if Japan is driven
out of this treaty then the United
States will proceed single-handed ana
alone to drive Japan out of CHINA
will renew this world war and
send our soldiers into the Orient to
fight for her--then by this act they
are betraying China with a false
issue.
"They know, and we know, that
this country will never go TO war
with Japan to prevent Japan from
doing Just what we have allowed
every other nation to do in China
without Il protest. With the League
of Nations, China obtains an assur-
ance which is tantamount to a guar
anty by all the world that not only
will Japan return to China what
what Germany wrested from her in
1918, but henceforth and so long as
this league shall last no other ma
tion shall rob China of one inch OF
her territory or exercise any con
troll over her people inconsistent
with the claim of complete inde'
pendence and sovereignty
