R.R.REFUSALS
LEAVE PEACE
EXTENT HAzY
Number of Country's Biggest
Railway Systems Decline to
Enter into Plan for Settling
Strike of Shopmen.
OTHERS END WALKOUT
tBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Refusal by a
number of the country's biggest rail
way systems to enter into The War
field-Willard-Jewell plan for ending the
shopmen's strike on the basis of sep
crate and individual agreements de-
veloped an element of considerable un-
certainty today over the scope and eff
fectiveness of the peace program.
While some of the larger systems
had flatly rejected the plan, others
however, notably the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul had virtually
completed arrangements for restoring
strikers at once to their former jobs
under terms of the separate settle
ment plan.
Negotiations were in progress with
several roads in an effort by shopcraft
officials to effect additional settle
ments.
Urged to Reconsider.
Strike leaders were said to be ad-
dressing communications to some of
the unwilling roads asking them to
reconsider their reflections.
Among the larger systems said to
have closed the door against the set
tlement plan today were: Pennsyi-
vania, Union Pacific Norfolk & West
ern, Southern Pacific. Great Northern,
Chicago Burlington and Quincy, Mis-
| souri,, Kansas and Texas, and other
subsidiary lines.
Other roads still outside the agree
ment today included: Central of
| Georgia; Delaware, Lackawana and
| Western; Erie; Illinois Central; Louis.
/ vile and Nashville; Missouri Pacific
4 Frisco; Wabash: Sante Fe; Chicago
| Great Western, and numerous others
About SO Accept.
| About so roads were generally un
derstood to have accepted the settle
ment proposals with the Baltimore and
Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, New York
Central lines, Southern, Seaboard Air
line, Chicago and Northwestern, and
! Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Pau
among the larger systems in the
agreement.
w. H. Finley, president of the North
western, and B. B. Greer, vice-presi
dent of the Milwaukee, expressed the
hope that many of their men would be
back on the jobs, today, over the en-
tire systems. The Northwestern EN-
ployes about $4,000 shopmen and the
G. NJ. and st. Paul about 5000.

GOVERNMENT TESTIFIES
ABOUT RAIL VIOLENCE
nv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The govern
ment today continued the presentation
of affidavits of violence and intimida-
ton in support of Attorney General
Daugherty's bill for an injunction
against. the striking railway shopcraft.
Indications are that the government
will complete its case tomorrow morn
ing.
Frank Mulholland of Toledo, attor-
ney for B. NJ. Jewell, and John Scott,
strike leaders, objected today to the
abstract of affidavit which the govern
ment's attorneys are reading in an ef-
fort to speed up the case.
Outside matter he said has been In
jected into some of the abstracts
where it tends to prejudice the strik-
ers' case.

Japan, Chita, Soviet
Secure Farley Basis
Following Deadlock
(Bv Associated Pressl

CHANG CHUN, Manchuria, Sept. Is.
Japan, the Chita, republic and the
Moscow soviet in conference here over
Siberian problems, today had a basis
on which to proceed with their nego-
tiations which had been deadlocked
over the demand of the Moscow gov
ernment for wider recognition.
The japanese and Russian delegates
yesterday decided on an outline for
discussion. While Japan indicated a
willingness to conclude later a trade
agreement with Moscow, it was stipu-
lated that this must be preceded by
an understanding with Chita over the
matters pertaining to the withdrawal
of Japanese troops from Siberia
Reach Agreement.
The delegates agreed that they
would attempt to reach an under
standing first on the establishment OF
general trade relations between
Japan and Chita's far eastern repub
lie
Restoration Of Vladivostok to the
sovereignty of the Chita government
was held to be the next question
The third point on the program is
the restoration of war munitions in
Vladivostok to the Chita government
These stores aggregate in value more
than one hundred million dollars in
gold. They were sent to VladivostoB
by the allies during the world war
The bulk of them came from America
There is a possibility that Japan's
demand for reparations for the Niko
laievek massacre would be consid
cred in connection with the Chita con
versations.
Takes Hughes View.
Adolph Joffe, soviet representative
said Moscow took the view expressed
by Secretary of State Hughes at the
Washington arms CONFERENCE.-The
the Nikolaievak massacre was an in
cident of the allied Intervention an6
not an affair concerning Japan anG
Russia alone.
The conferees reached the under
standing that negotiations between
the Japanese and the whole of Russia
would be considered after the Chits
agreement had been concluded.

HOOVER SEEKSPLENTY
OF COAL, REASONABLE
PRICES FOR PUBLIC
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept 15-To in
sure the public plenty of soft coal at
reasonable prices this winter, repre-
sentatives of coal carrying railroads,
coal producers, leading industries and
public utilities met here today with
Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Mr..
Hoover expects so of the $50 he in
vited to be present
Hoover believes the present prices
too high; also that a tendency by
railroads and other great public util.
titles and industrial plants to hoard
coal, constitutes a menace to public
welfare.
Now that both the bituminous and
anthracite miners are again working
at capacity, Hoover and other mem-
bers of the presidents fuel distribu-
tion committee, feel that the basic
problem is that of hauling.
Seek Big Reserves.
In view of the fact that reserve
stocks of coal were exhausted during
the COdl SlIlhSs lLS OdDIAC ulil1llCS
and other big consumers of coal are
trying to build up their reserves and
meet their current needs at the same
time.
To meet both it would be necessary
for the railroads to haul approx
mately 100000 tons weekly for the
next six weeks. This is an impossible
task, Hoover stated.
The danger facing domestic consum
ers is that the big consumers would
find some means of absorbing most
of the 100000 to 100000 tons oi
coal that the roads can haul weekly
Some of the utilities already are
| boarding coal. Hoover was informed
Creates Shortage
| Hoover hopes, through the present
conference, to bind the big consumers
| to a policy of meeting their curren
needs only during the emergency and
| to pile up their reserves next spring
| More than 100 invitations were sem
/ out by the United States chamber o.
commerce, which is working with the
/ fuel committee.
| WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Concern
| ed over the inability of railroads tt
move coal and farm products expedi
ously was understood to have been ex
pressed by members of the President
cabinet at today's meeting.
/ Practically all of the brief session
was devoted, it was said, to a study
| of the transportation situation and the
belief was said TO have been expressed
that the partial settlement of the shop
mems strike would to a large extern
alleviate conditions.
Cabinet members were confiden
/ that all sections of the country would
have a sufficient coal supply this win
ter. although the opinion prevailed tina
prices would be high.

BELFAST. Sept. 15.-Southern Ire
land is aflame with internecine war
fare more terrible than any since the
rebels under Rory .O'Connor were de
feated in battles around the -Four
Courts of Dublin, according to reports
reaching here today.
Dublin is in the grip Of fresh civil
warfare; street fighting is practically
continuous, it is reported.
Machine gun fire was poured into
the telephone exchange last night and
Free State garrisons were attacked
by large parties of rebels who swept
up in lorries, using searchlights.
Dublin today still was cut off from
direct communication with England,
making it necessary for information
to come via Belfast Because of Ul-
ster's antipathy, reports of terror in
the south were accepted in England
with reserve.

ANOTHER BIG DAY

lie Prospect of Crowds Being as Large as Yes
tel day, Which Broke all Past Records, But
People Were Thronging Grounds Early
Big Night Crowds on Hand

Attendance records are being broken
every day at the Catawba County fair,
according to the officials of the asso-
clation. Tuesdays crowd was larger
by far than any previous opening day
on record, and in spite of the dust and
heat, it is conservatively estimated
that fully $4,000 people were at the
fair grounds on Wednesday. Owing
to the fact that thousands of school
children, who were admitted free, were
among the crowd it was impossible.t to
keep an official count of the attend
ance, but officers of the fair associa-
ton state that the gate receipts were
larger than any previous year Ly sew
eral hundred dollars
Yesterdays crowd was a good ma
tured, orderly assemblage, not single
mishap occurring to mar the day. This
was due largely, it is believed, to the
fact that the fair. association officials
had such splendid system worked
out for handling the automobile traf-
fic and parking as well as the crowds
themselves. Every concession appar-
entity was doing all the business they
could hand le, while large numbers
were attracted to the Dufour Shows
