their difficulties between themselves,
If possible, in friendly conference.
Many "Ifs" Involved.
Several of the questions involved in
the Baltimore and Ohio conference
were whether the men would agree
to separate settlement, whether the
union leaders would approve such
settlement and whether the men
would accept a settlement which
might be made by their union lead
ers.
Uncertainty as to the exact status
of the situation as regards the points
at issue has developed. especially
since Chairman Cummins and Sena-
tors Kellogg and Watson Of the Sen
ate interstate commerce committee
reported to the President yesterday on
their conference Thursday night with
eastern railroad executives. The
whole question later was discussed at
length at yesterdays cabinet meet
ing.
While the question of restoring the
seniority rights to the striking shop
men In event Of their return to work
was found at the conference of SEN
ators with rail executives here to be
still the chief obstacle to a strike
settlement, the railroad heads also
were said to be unprepared to accede
to the union demand for the creation
of a national board Of adjustment.
Daugherty Meets BOrah.
Outstanding among rail strike de-
velopments here yesterday were con-
ferences held by Attorney General
Daugherty with Senator Borah, chair
man of the Senate labor committee.
and Senator Cummins, at which the
discussions were said to involve the
possibility of legal action in both the
railroad and the coal strikes. Mr..
Daugherty stated afterward, however,
that no immediate legal proceedings
were under contemplation. although.
he said, he found Senator Cummins
in full agreement with him as to the
governments power to act in both
cases.

NEW YORK, July 22-Efforts by
eastern roads to bring about indi-
vidual agreements with their shop
men were forecast today on the bas
of a statement by l. F. Loree, presi-
dent of the Delaware and Hudson
railroad and chairman of the eastern
presidents conference. that the car
riers in this part of the country were
planning to form company unions.
These. he said. would consist OF the
new employees and those who remain
ed at work when the strike was
called. Under this plan whenever
future labor difficulties arise each
railroad would negotiate separately
with its men.
Lehigh Valley officials said that line
already had begun organizing'its en-
ployes into a company union. with
gratifying results" 1t was under
taken by the Delaware and Hudson
and the Lackawanna.
The new policy, Mr.. Loree declared.
was suggested by the labor board
in statement issued July 8, which
said the railways should proceed to
organize their men into new unions
without affliation with the striking
organizations. The Baltimore and
Ohio had previously announced it's
decision to seek individual settlement
with its striking shopmen. But labor
leaders declared these peace over
lures would not result in ending the
strike on that road.

TRYING TO FORCE RATE

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 22.-The demand for
ships to convey coal to America is
increasing daily. Many steamers
have been loaded in the United King
dom this week for sailings to vari-
Gus American ports. the freight rate
being from 8 to 10 shillings a ton.
Lloyds shipping list today says
some ship owners are endeavoring
to force a fixed rate of shillings
pence a ton, but as American Ship
ping Board steamers are willing to
come over and load at shillings 6
pence there is little prospect OF the
higher rate being paid.
The American demand for coal has
caused a scarcity of tonnage IN some
sections. In Cardiff. New Castle and
Middlesborough the heavy bookings
for all kinds of coal for July ship
ment to the United States have caused
an advance Of from pence to a
shilling a ton. Cardiff export firms
alone are said to have booked 300,-
900 tons and New Castle firms 10000
tons
The coal supply on the east coast
was somewhat scarce for July ship
ment and American orders are being
executed for August shipment at the
dealers rates.
Expected in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. July 22.-Several
cargoes of coal purchased by local
public utility corporations in Great
britain will arrive here within
fortnight, it became known today.
Approximately $4,000 tons was pur-
chased a week ago in Wales and
southern England by the Phtladel-
mia Electric Company, while other
public utilities placed large orders
at the same time. In addition. 1t was
stated, about $4,000 tons of steam
coal is consigned to ship brokers and
local chartering agents.
More Ships Chartered.
NEW YORK, July 22.-Thirteen
more ships with an aggregate carry
ing capacity of 30. 900 tons were char
tered yesterday to import coal from
Europe because Of the coal strike. A.
D. Lasker, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board. here for
conference, said.
This is a total Of twenty ships
entered in the coal trade within two
dsys and Mr. Lasker said that in ad-
dition to the 167 vessels now plying
between American and European
ports there are 400 bottoms idle In
American docks that could be COM
missioned within thirty days.
A canvass OF importers today re-
yealed that orders have been placed
for the shipping Of 100000 tons from
England and Wales.
