N1AGGED by congress through
resolution for an investigation of
Attorney General Daugherty's failure
to proceed legally against those who
have been robbing the government in
war contracts, that official made a
report to President Harding in which
he blamed the delay on congress.
The attorney general laid the blame
for failure to prosecute upon congress
and promised an energetic campaign
against war profteers as soon as nee
essary legislation is ! enacted. he
called for prompt action on the meas
ure creating twenty-three addition
al federal judgeships, the bill estab-
fishing a special grand jury in the
District of Columbia TO grind out in
dictments against accused contractors,
and an additional appropriation OF
100000 to enable the department of
iustice TO continue its inquiries.
Mr.. Daughertv called attention TO
the fact that nearly all the transac-
lions in question took place during
the preceding administration and that
naturally little was done then TO bring
them to light. He promised that he
would soon make public the names OF
influential personages who had knowl-
edoe of the transactions but were per-
sonally interested in concealing them.

TOR few days it looked as If Ire
L land might have something re-
sembling peace-but only for a few
days. On Wednesday the peace COM
mittee, on which both sides were rep
resented, reported to Dali Eireann
that it was unable to agree on basis
for adjusting the differences between
the Free States and the republican
extremists, neither party being able to
compromise without complete surren-
der. At the same time the truce ex-
pired automatically. The radicals de-
clare they will try to prevent the
holding of the election scheduled for
the second week in June and the
Free State men declare it shall be
heidi which conflict of intentions fur
nishes the basis for continuation of
the bushwhacking warfare.

Throughout the day leaders on both
sides held a series Of conferences
seeking to dispose of tariff revision
and send the pending measure to con
ference. Eventually success was
achieved and the conclusions reached
became formal matter of record.
After the measure is reported to the
senate proper no senator may speak
more than once and not longer than

ment, or one offered, or any pending
motion.

EXECUTIVES :,
AD MINIsTRATIoA IS QUIET
Situation Becomes Increasingly Sc

Falls Through-Roads Pub.
lish Decision.

washington. - Railroad executives
who have represented associates in
negotiating with President Harding
and railroad labor organization heads
for a compromise settlement of the
railroad strike, have left Washington
convinced that the strike would be
fought out to finish.
The executives further indicated
that they expected the government
would not attempt further compro-
mise and made public the text of
their answer to President Harding g
final settlement proposal.
Union leaders, however, declared
that compromise efforts would still be
continued. Meanwhile, they withheld
the response of the striking shop
mems settlement offers and also a
statement of the policy which other
unions intended to pursue.
There was no statement from ad-
ministration sources as to any further
course intended.
All the heads of the railroad labor
organizations remained in Washing
ton. Officers of the four brother
hoods, members OF which are not on
strike, declared themselves a commit
tee of mediation, endeavoring to deal
with the government and the railroad
arrangements in behalf of the eight
snions which have ordered strikes.
L. E. Sheppard. president OF the Or.
der of Conductors, indicated late to-
day that they intended to remain,
acting in that capacity. until Con-
gress gets back into session.
All of the rail executives went
back to the White House, spent an
hour with President Harding, and
then left the city. The union chiefs
went into conference by themselves,
and were informed during it by Sec
rotary Hoover of the action of the
executives. They had prepared to
make public later statements indicat-
ing a complete break with the execu-
tives and the government, but sup
pressed all these at the instance of
Mr.. Sheppard.
The railroads willing to give re-em-
ployment to all striking employees as
given out by the executives spokes-
men include the Santa Fe, Baltimore
q Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, Illinois
Central, Norfolk & Western, st. Louis
San Francisco, Southern Pacific,

Railroads willing to restore the jobs
of only those strikers for whom they
had places included: All New England
