 DESCRIPTION MANY
Reign of Terror Holds Londonderry Soldiers and Police Unable to Intervene In Bitter
 Battles,

Londonderry, June 23-Fivo Sim Feiners were killed by machine gun fire employed to cover the removal of several Protestants from Barrack street tonight, according to a military statement
 There is lull now G0:3o D. m,) in the fighting
 Scenes of terrible description were enacted here last night and today, Many streets were swept by mur. derous fife continuously ofr 10 hours. One man was killed and 10 wounded in one section, several bodies are re. ported lying in Bishop street. Among the wounded was a young girl, and those who suffered slight injuries cannot be estimated.
 Sniping was indulged in on large scale and there was indiscriminate firing of rifles and revolvers through out the city. The principal conflict took place in Bishop street, where there was a large concentration of Sim Feiners in the neighborhood of St. Columbia's Catholic college and Nazareth home. Sandbags were thrown up from which strong fire was di- rected at the unionists in Barrack street. There was vigorous exchange of fire and many casualties on both sides.
 Trouble also had broken out on an extensive scale in the region of Long Tower street and Bishops gate, where there were fierce prolonged exchanges Sim Feiners on roofs sniped isolated unionists. The soldiers and police were unable to intervene effectively.
 The police in Bishop street barracks within the battle zone were virtually besieged. Many passers by were wounded and some were reported kill- ed, but it is absolutely impossible to get correct details.
 A confectioner named McKenna was killed on Henrietta street. A priest was summoned and while he administered the last rites, firing was suspended.
 Among today's casualties on Bishop street was an elderly man named Whiteside, who was accompanied by his son and daughter. All of them were shot.
 During the night there was savage fighting in the waterside district, the rival factions were entrenched in Cross street and Bond street, both of which were barricaded.
 Snipers were busy until o'clock this afternoon and contingents of troops had to be moved into various streets, which unti lthen were impass- able to citizens.
 The streets had the appearance of a battle ground. Sand bags were thrown up, with sleepy soldiers almost in state of exhaustion after the nights vigil. It is expected that troops are coming by road but no re- Inducements have yet arrived.
 There is fighting in the outlying districts from which unionists are pouring into the city.

RAIL LABOR BOARD IS ASKED BY WILSON TO HASTEN DECISION
WalkOut of Yardmen and Other Employees Prompts
 His Action
NOTE SAID TO BE OF
 FORCEFUL CHARACTER
Board WhOllyy to Blame for Situa- ton, Says Trainmen's Chief Who Describes It As Full
 of Serious Possibilities

Washington, June 23.-The railroad
 labor board at Chcago has been ur- gently requested by President Wilson to expedite it's wage decision. The presidents message resulted from the general unrest among rail. road workers over the wage question and the ballot of yardmen and other employees at Philadelphia, Bal tlmore and other cities. Its text was not made public, but unofficially it was described as being of federal character.
 Soon after the white house an- nouncement of the presidents action, w. Doak, vice president of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen, issued a warning that unless there was set clement of the now year old wage con- troversy by the end of this week, the situation probably would become much worse.
 The railroad labor board, MT. Doak said, "is wholly responsible for the present situation" He added that the chiefs of the railroad brotherhoods desire the public to know "that this much heralded advocated method of adjusting questions of this character, according to the present indica tions, is rank and hopeless failure"
 At the same time Secretary Wilson of the department of labor, declared in a formal statement that while the labor board had had big task to perform it could "render no better public service in the existing situa- tion than by coming to speedier determination of the questions at issue before it.
