STREET GAR T|E-UP
 GRIPS CHICAGO Order Effective at 4 A. M. To- day, With Effects Felt
 During Night
ny Assoclnted Pres.

CnlcaEO, July ol.--A cOmpletel t1e- up Of street car and elevated traffic began to make itself felt shortly be- fore midnight tonight after surface line employees at mass meeting had voted for a walkout effective at 4 a. m. tomorrow and elevated road men had joined them in a runaway strike, anticipating a formal strik e order by 24 hours.
 Although the strike order was made effective for 4 a. m.. tomorrow the withdrawal began at Il o'clock tonight, but so slowly as not to af- feet the movement or the theatre and cafe crowds.
 As the cars came into the barns after their early evening runs, the ' waiting crews refused to take them out after hearing of the strike order. The slow paralysis creeping over the transportation machine. began to make itself felt in the downtown section shortly after II o'clock.
 The immediate sympathetic strike by the elevated roads was unexpected as they were not scheduled to take final action until tomorrow night. The elevated action was crecipitated by some 300 elevated employees, who attended the surface line employees mass meeting earlier in the evening. When the approximately 5000 sur lace men at the meeting voted unan- imously to strike. the elevated rep resentatfves joined them and later induced the train crews to join them.

Washingto, July 31.-Considera- tion of the wool schedule, which has furnished by one big fight in the administration tariff bill, was com pleted today by the Senate after the approval without change of imposts proposed by the finance committee majority on blankets, wearing ap- parel, and floor coverings. The silk schedule then was taken up.
 After the silk schedule will come those dealing with paper, books and sundries. including hides. and laces. the free list and the administration provisions with the flexible tariff plan proposed by President Harding. When the enate winds up work on these. 1t must go back over the bill for action on amendments-
 Final Vote Uncertain.
 There still was divided opinion to- day as to when final vote could be had. but republican, leaders were unanimous in declaring the Senate would pass the bill. Taking cogni- zance of report published in Wash ington that the Senate would aban- don the measure, Senator Lodge, majority leader. said:
 This bill is going to be passed by the Senate and that at the first opportunity. We are going to stick to 1t and pass it as soon as we can get 'yote.'
 As was the case Saturday, the Senate had difficulty today in keep ing quorum. After a quorum had been obtained. Senator Alccumber. republican, North Dakota. said he wanted it understood that the order about absentees was to stand for the remainder of the present legislative day--now more than three months old--if that day lasted. until March 4. Later kilograms were sent to ab- sent senators urging their pres ence.
 Senator Smoot told the Senate That the duties would affect largely those Americans who sought to ape the English dude. by wearing only clothes mafe in London. He said also there were Americans who de- sired to "ape the Prince of Wales. wearing baggy trousers when he wears thsm."

LEADERS IN MINE MASSACRE KNOWN
 ID NUMBER 5OO
Governor Presented With h. formation by Coal Board For Prosecution of 500
 Alleged Leaders
By Associated Press

PittsburE, Pa. July a1.-The
 National Coni association in
 statement issued tonight am
 nouncing completion of "n
 sweeping. impartial inyestign-
 tionr of the Herrin massacre,
 declared that the leaders of the
 mob were known and that at
 least ..50O members of the mob
 can he arrested any time Att
 torney General Brundnge of liii-
 nois gives the word"
 The association .is laying its evil dence and findings before the gov ernor, of illinois, the statement said.
 Charge Officials
 Particular emphasis should be laid on the point that survivers of the massacre are able to point out the officials of the United Mine Workers of America who gave the word to take the unarmed prisoners off the road into the woods and shoot them down in the manner of an army squad executing spies or traitors. says the announcement. The state- ment adds:
 "The National Coal association re- port supports the contention of the Illinois attorney general that the massacre was the result of we'll laid conspiracy and that tho riet was not spontaneous. The report deals com. prehensively with such matters as the telegram sent to Herrin by Johr L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers; failure of the sheriff to do his duty; organiza.ion of tho mob as military machlue and the unkept truce pledges assumed joint ly by the sheriff and the ranking coal official of the United Mine Workers.
 Outinw Organization.
 "Lewis's telegraphed instruction, to treat the members of the Steam Shovelmen's union as an outlaw or ganization and common strike break. erT was followed on successive days by mass meeting, the attack on the mine, and the massacre"
 The statement announces that the investigations corroborated stories Of barbarous treatment of wounded as reported by press associations and newspapers and declared that some bodies were found to have been branded.

WAGE SCALE MAY

Washington, July 31.--With

 Distributor Spencer under way,
 the possibility that negotiation
 for a separate wage settlement
 between the miners union and
 some operators in Pennsylvania,
 Ohio, Illinois and Indiana in

 ated this week. was strongly
 indicated here today.
 Representatives of the various governmental department and op- orators cooperating under the ad- ministration' distribution plan started on the initial problems fac ing operation of the scheme, such as organization of regional commit tees and format ton of coal pools.
 May Settle Strike
 In Cleveland, it was understood, a meeting is to be held Mt nday looking to the settlement the strike In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Hi nois and Indiana
 How extensive such a partial set tiement would be, or whether such conference, lacking a considerable lumber of the larger employers would be successful at all. rematn- ed question in official and semi official view.
 Ready to Negotiate
 Ever since the strike began. some operators have expressed willing ness to negotiate with John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, and the scale committees of the unions.
 The controlling majority in most operators associations has been unwilling. however, to concede the unions demands for semi-national wage scale. madesup by joint action of the employers and employees in the four states, and have also been un- willing to concede the wage scale of 1920, with its s7.5o daily wage basis for common labor underground.
 Soaring prices of coal. due to shortage, is said to have made the hlgher wage scale acceptable at least while the market lasts th2pta heads of the larger mining enterprises out side of Ohio insist a sediment giving the men the war time scales again would only allow a few months of operation, followed by shut-downs because the non-union coal would throw the output bearing higher overhead out of the markets.
 Lewis ut Work.
 Ohio coal operators associations are said to have been made a nucleus about which MT. Lewis was forming an interstate group with whom he would shortly attempt to negotiate wage scale.
 It was declared today that a rep- resentation of operators from the three states other than Ohio in the conference proposed would be 50 small as to leave it "a ru:rp affair" There were also fears that if such a gathering assembled, it might drag out long time. while efforts were being made by those in it. to get enough outsiders to make its wage decisions effective.
