RIOT1NC AGAIN
GRIPS BELFAST:
MANY INJURED
After a Night of Fighting,
Trouble Breaks Out at
Noon Today.

Belfast. Ireland, July 22.-Riot-
ing was renewed lin the Falls area
of West Belfast during the mill
dinner hour today. The postofiice
was wrecked and the police fired
on the rioters.
In the melee a soldier and sew
eral citizens were wounded.
Belfast this morning was quiet
after night Of sanguinary fight
ing between Sim Fein and Union
list mobs, but the, situation was
tense and the military with armor-
ed cars were patrolling the affected
areas.
Casualties thus far recorded are
two men and one woman killed,
and 20 persons with serious gun
shot wounds.
The primary cause of the trouble
is believed to be the recent murder
Of Colonel Smyth in Cork, as many
men employed at Belfast come
from Bainbridge, which . was
Smyith's native town.
Return to Work.
This morning the workers re-
turned to the shipyards as though
nothing happened although the
trouble was started in the yards
yesterday after number Of Sim
Fein employees had been attacked.
Unofficial estimate places the
proprty damage and looting done
by the mob at 100000 pounds ster-
ling

his to keep the men at work are
useless. kilograms report that

Trouble Long Brewing.
This trouble has rumbled for
some time, but was brought to a
head by action OF the Chicago con-
ference this week, when operators
refused to yield to the demands
without the approval Of the federal
coal commission. Three operators
are now on their way to Washing
ton to seek that approval.
Operators and miners in the Chi

agreement, that il q strike must
come, this is the best time for It;

both sides. President Harrington

Chicago. July 22-United Press)
Seven railroad unions today were
reported to have definitely accepted
the wage award announced Tues
day by the United States railroad
labor wage board.
The Order of Railway Telegraph
ers positively refused to consider
the award, according to an informa-
ton today, and an order for a strike
vote was said to have been issued.
The Order Of Railway Conductors
early today had not determined its
attitude. A referendum was said
to have been ordered by other rail-
road crafts.
Trainmen, engineers, switchmen,
shopmen, locomotive firemen and
enginemen, and mates and pilots
were the organizations said to
have definitely accepted the award.
Railroad labor executives were
in an all night conference attempt
ing to reach common ground In
the acceptability Of the award. The
conferences were to be continued
today. Intimations early today
were that all unions would be ask
ed to take a referendum, making
whatever recommendations desired.
The conference of executives fol-
lowed refusal of the labor board to
reopen hearings on certain points.
Five labor leaders appeared before
the board and presented the situa-
ton they faced in deciding the &C
ceptability of the award. The
board declared that to reopen hear
ings would mean the entire dispute
would need to be reconsidered and
they declared the award made was
the best possible.
Rail union chiefs today were con-
fident sporadic strikes would not
result from the boards announce
ment. An unauthorized strike Of
employees Of the Grand Trunk here
last night was considered the result
Of local conditions and not reflect
ing the attitude of railroad labor.
