ISSUE ORDER ON
 REFERENDUM

6hicago July 24-An order for a nationwide referendum by railway .emplOyaS on the wage award of the federal labor board was sent out to- day with a strong plea against a strike, by the executives of the rail- road brotherhoods.
 ''The labor board,' the order states. ''is the highest court of appeals in this controversy. No higher tribunal is created by the transportation act, and it's decision must either be accepted or rejected without further negotia- tion.
 Although the award was much less than the enlployes should have been granted, much less than they were en- titled to, and although they are, and have a right to be disappointed with the amount of increase in wages granted, more than s4 pN cent. of them have agreed through their rep resentatives to accept the award
 An appeal is made to the federated shop crafts which constitute not more than g per cent. of the total employees of the railroads to vote in support of the action of the majority.
 The Chicago Yardmen's Association represented by 25.OG0 members includ- ing 70 delegates selected to represent the various outlaw organizations of the country, voted unanimously to re- ject the railroad wage award because t contained no provision for the se- niority rights for the men who struck last April.
 The strike could be settled in 48 hours if the roads would concede that one point said John Grunau, presi- dent of the association.

 There is no question according to this same authority but that James Walsh of Greenwich will be the can didate of the Republicans at the coming election as the leaders of the upstate machine haveS never waver- ed in their allegiance to Walsh nc matter what other name has been presented.

ANOTHER CHANCE
 IN IRISH POLICY

Lopdon, July 24-Sir Edward Car son, Unionist leader in the House of Commons, is credited with the inten- ton of trying to turn the government out of office if it proposes to establish dominion home rule in IrelaLd. ac- cording to the Daily Mail.
 Another change in the government policy toward Ireland is expected to be announced within a few days. But the cabinet has not been able to de- termine fully what it will be.
 Some of Premier Lloyd Georges friends say that he is willing to give Ireland almost anything except a re- public, but the Tory elements in the cabinet are in favor of strengthening the military and if necessary declar- ing martial law in Ireland.
 The opinion of the cabinet as a whole is said to be that the Sin-. Fein would ignore an invitation to a con- ference The Sim Feiners hold that their government is functionlng, that their courts are working successfully and the country is policed by Irish volunteers and that therefore they have nothing to negotiate.

 Derai1ed At Dayvi11e

Dayville, Conn.,, July 24-Although five sleeping cars in the Bar Harbor Express, west bound, were derailed, and four of them toppled almost over on their sides, early today, no pas senger on the train was hurt, accord ing to official reports. The train was not carrying many passengers as travel at this season is heavy east bound and light the reverse direction from the Maine resorts.

New Haven & Hart ford Railroad, the express being on the run between Worcester and New London. The locom otive, ba ge and buffet cars crossed a switch all right, the first sleeper apparently split it and stopped crosswise of the tracks and the four next following sleepers were entirely derailed and in the road bed, which was badly torn up, they | canted over until for some moments | it looked as if th& would rest on their sides which, however, they did not quite do.
 The division was blocked for hours. Robert Smith, the assistant superin- tendent of the division, was of the I opinion that material damage was not serious and no passenger was reported l hurt.

BALLARD TO HAVE TICKET
 IN THE FIELD
Republican Primaries Will Furnish Plenty of Excite ment Next Month-Three Factions to Offer Ticket.

The animosities among the Repub- Hcan leaders of the city by the de- lection of Frank T. Ballard and his friends from the fold last fall and their attempt to defeat the re-elec- tion of Mayor Wilson still rankles in the breasts of some of the leaders and the probabilities are that there will be three tickets presented in all of the districts at the Republican pri- maries the latter part of August.
 Frank T. Ballard said today that while he was personally friendly with all the local Republican leaders, he was not tied up to either faction and that there would undoubtedly be a third ticket presented to the Republi- can primaries which would be backed by all independent Republicans who believe that men should be nominat- ed for office who have the best inter ests of all the people at heart who are not looking for office for selfish interests. There is no sense in tying up to dead ones.'' said Ballard.
 The two other tickets will be back ed by adherents of Mayor Wilson un- der the leadership of Police Commis- sfoner John T. Stanley and Arthur Connors for one faction. The other faction will be lead by City Clerk Alex Robinson, William k. Seeley ana IL R. Smith.
 Where John T. King will place his banner is in doubt as it is generally understood that there is wide breach between the mayor and King, and it is surmised that the mayor will yet seek Kings assistance to land the gubernatorial nomination.
 King has signified his intention or several occasions to quit politics To- cally and statewise but the cards ai the present time are being so shuffle6 that it looks as though he would come back and mix in the game in order te show that frhe mayor cannot win without his assistance.

Probability of Great Coal Shortage Next Winter-Yards Prac- tically Bare-No Con- tracts For Future De- livery.

The proba bility that there will be great coal shortage in this city and vicinity next winter is becoming more evident as the summer is passing away and needed supplies of this commodity fail to arrive either by rail or water.
 The receipts by rail have been far below the, average receipts for many years while not one-eighth of the amount that usually arrives by water has come by this method of transpor- tation this year.
 The coal yards in the city are prac- tica11y bare of coal and the dealers are receiving barely enough each weekSto keep them going.
 Private parties have been unable to lay in their winter supply as in for mer years as the dealers are able to furnish only enough to each custom CT to meet his present wants and the dealers will make no contracts for future delivery as they are not cer- tain of the supply or price.
 A prominent merchant who is fa- Ihdlar with the situation said today that he would not be surprised if the price of coal reached $30 a ton this winter as no means had been found as yet by which the price could be COuCI OIeu OI supply SudIdHlecu.
 Notwithstanding the orders giving priority to New England have been promulgated by coal administrators and government officials the fact re- mains that this, necessary commodity fails to arrive and as there are but three months left to bring the winter supply which usually takes seven months to transport the dealers be- heve they will not be able to get any where the needed amount before the transportation- of coal through the Sound is stopped by the wea ther- The shortage of coal cars dispels any hope of receiving more than an ordinary amount by rail.
 The only party in this neighborhood | who seems able to get any amount of coal is the American Brass comm pany which has a large yard on the Housa- | tonic river. There are now about 90 barges of coal for this firm in the Bridgeport harbor and at the dock in Stratford.

Twenty-Five Mile Breeze From the Southwest Makes Conditions For Race Too Risky-Ter- rife Sea Running and Both Yachts Stagger- ed Under Shortened Sail.

Sandy Hook. N. J., July 24-A 25 mile southwestern, under which both Shamrock ". and Resolute staggered about the starting line under the shortest possible sail. caused the de- ciding race for the Americas Cup to be postponed today until Monday.
 A couple of early morning squalls brought up the stiffest breeze that has swept lower New York harbor in two weeks. The two yachts ploughed their way out to the 1ightship where they found a terrific sea running and each shipper notified the regatta committee that he was willing to postpone the contest.
 The sloops turned back from the lightship and scurried into the shelter of the horseshoe while the specator fleet headed up the harbor for New York.
 This was the first postponement on account of too much breeze since the contest between Reliance and Sham rock IT. was called off IT years ago because of a northeaster.

 Bevans went to New Haven on a similar errand and the officials be- lieve that with the new buses there will be no difficulty in handling any sized crowd at any time of the day or night and predict that the people of the city will not want the trolleys ! again after they see the expeditions l manner in which traffic moves about 1 the city when the jams caused by the i trolley cars is removed.
 l Commissioner Stoeckel told the i;t ney/men yesterday that there was no
 provision in the state law for the is
 suing of temporary markers but that he would do everything in his power 1 to see that no delay was had in the l issuance of markers and licenses and that as soon as the new jitneys ar
 rived in Bridgeport he would have a
 man here to measure the cars and
 make other inspection called for by the law and would then issue licenses 1 so that there would be no delay. l Mayor Wilson said today that the City Attorney would not apply for a
 writ of mandamus to compel the troll ley cars to run until so instructed by the Common Council. When asked if he did not have the authority to in
 struct the City Attorney to apply for the writ he said, That may be so but
 we will wait until the Council takes action.''
