didate for president, today telegrapn-
ed to Senator Harding. republican nom

a demand upon President Wilson to
Immediately release Eugene V. Debs

The text~of the message follows:
"I have been selected by the farmer
labor party as it's candidate for presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is my
intention to inaugurate as quickly NJ
possible a nationwide campaign in
behalf of the ideals of political and in
dustrial democracy embraced in the

Danger Of Rail
Strike Passes

Chicago. July 21.-Danger of an I'M
mediate railroad strike apparently had
dissipated when the 1000 representa-
tives of the sixteen railway crafts re-
sumed their conference here this
morning to consider the $60O,O00,O0O
wage increase granted by the railway
labor board yesterday.
There was less dissatisfaction ap-
parent over the amount of the award
on the part of the union men and a
desire for a peacable solution of their
problem was manifest.
A factor which many believe may
have considerable effect if concerted
effort is made toward acceptance or
the award was the boards decision TO
make the increase retroactive to May
/. This feature would give the
100000 railway workers a total Oh
approximately s150,000,000 to be dis
tributed as back pay in lump sums.
It was reported that the locomotive
engineers and shopmen had expressed
themselves as favorable to acceptance
of the decision.

able the acceptance of the league as
the president fashioned it, however,
the senator is expectd to express in
direct terms his belief that America
should not remain isolated and TO
take the position that the wars sac
rifices will prove in vain unless there
is established new order with adj
ed security to peace and civilization.
1t is regarded as unlikely that the
nominee will enter into a detailed
discussion ef she league covenant or
will speak objectively of reservations
or interpretations. He is expected
rather to hold his utterances to the
broad principles involved, hinging
his argument to a plea for American
rather than world ideals.
He is believed certain to couple
with this a declaration that the fail
ure of the United States to accept
Mr.. Wilson's league will not be con-
strued abroad as an evasion of duty
but will be interpreted as arising
from devotion to the integrity or the
nation

Washington, July 21.-Bituminous
coal operators were warned today oy
j. B. A. Morrow, vice president of
the National Coal association that
their failure to meet the urgent fuel
needs of the country at this time.
would mean continuous government
control of the industry. He urged
immediate increasea production and
cooperation with the interstate com
merce commission.
Mr.. Morrow cited statistics to
show that the northwest is short s.
600, 900 tons of coal and added that
New England and New York state
points also were short. He referred
at length to the plan which the in
terstate commerce. commission ac-
cepted yesterday.
Failure would justify federal con-
troll which would be fastened upon
the coal industry permanently" Mr..
Morrow continued. There will be no
failure. This effort deserves the graf
itude and assistance of every coal
operator in the United States"
