Pittsburgh, Pa, July 31.-The
National Coal association in a state
ment issued here tonight announc-
ing completion of "a sweeping, i'm
partial investigation of the Herrin
massacre, declared that the leaders
of the mob were known and that

The association "is laying it's evil
dence and findings before the gov
ernor of Illinois, the statement
said.
Particular emphasis should be
laid on the point that survivors oil
the massacre are able to point out
the official of the United Mine

word to take the unarmed prisoners

shoot them down in the manner of
an army squad executing spies or
traitors" says the announcement.
The statement adds:
"The National Coal association
report supports the contention OF
the Illinois attorney general thai
the massacre was the, result Of a

(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago, July 31.-Facing q
complete tie up of street car and
elevated traffic by Wednesday
night. widespread preparations
were under way tonight by sub
urban railways. motor bus COM
panies and automobile owners to
meet a strike scheduled to begin
at 4 a. m. tomorrow on surface
lines and probably Wednesday on
elevated roads.
All efforts of business men,
union leaders and car line chiefs
tonight apparently had failed to
avert a walk out, precipitated by
the demand of the surface lines
that their men accept a wage re-
duction of approximately II per
cent.
Compromise Offer
A compromise offer by the men
expressing Willingness to take a
flat ten per cent reduction was
rejected by the surface lines fol-
lowing an order reducing fares
from eight to seven cents with
three tickets for 20 cents. The
present wage is at the rate of
so cents an hour. A sympathetic
strike by the elevated employees
arose because Of the refusal of
the companies to extend the pres
ent monthly wage contract for Il
year. With both surface and ele-
waited employees out, the strike
would affect approximately 20,-
600 men.
To meet the threatened tie up,
automobile owners were prepar-
ing some 250,000 automobiles to-
night and many expressed the
conviction that the automotive
power Of the city alone would
be able to take care of the sit
uation. Many of the street car
employees who own automobiles
were preparing to operate them
as 'iitney busses" wearing their
uniforms to obtain public SYM
pathy and attract patronage. 1t
also was predicted that the un-
ions would put big trucks on the
streets to carry passengers. To
handle the situation successfully,
the automobile fleets, probably
the largest ever called upon in
such an emergency, would have
to handle more than 100000
passengers daily. Besides the pas
senger carrying automobiles and
trucks. suburban railway officials
were making extensive prepara-
tions to greatly increase their
trains; taXicab companies were
preparing to put out some 1900
cabs and industrial firms We're
preparing moving vans and trucks
to handle their employees.
Hotel Reservations
Meanwhile down town hotels
reported a record breaking NUM-
Der Of reservations, believed due
to the strike threats. In one case
large company reserved an en-
tire floor on one of the city's
largest hotels to take care of its
employees.

WOMEN SEEKING
NOMINATIONS IN
MISSOURI RACE
Have Announced in Several
Congressional Districts,
Also for Nearly Every
State Office.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 81 (by the
Associated Press. )-For the first
time in the history of Missouri
women candidates for congress
have chance next Tuesday to
show their political strength in a
primary election, and the effect is
eagerly awaited by politicians as
well'as the women.
Only one office for which the
parties will nominate their candi-
dates next Tuesday, is not being
sought by a woman, that of United
states senator, for which eleven
men--three democrats, six repub-
licans, one socialist and one social
st-laborite--are in the field.
Women candidates have an.
nounced themselves in several con-
gressional districts of the state.
Nearly every state office for which
candidates are to be nominated next
Tuesday, has at least one woman
aspirant.
Democrats will be called upon to
decide il the influence of former
President Wilson and his pet issue.
the league of nations, are still ef-
fective, or If the opposition to this
international problem is favored
by a majority of the states demo-
Gratis. At least this has been made
the main question Of contention by
Senator James A. Reed and Breck-
Ienridge Long, third assistant secre-
tary of state during the Wilson ad-
|ministration, the two principal DEM
ICcratic candidates. The third DEM
ocratic candidate, Il. i. Young, OF
st. Joseph, has not injected this Is
sue into his campaign. While Mr.
Reed has been urging the demo-
Gratis of the state to turn their at
tention to Giving issues" and dis
card the league of nations as
dead ISSUE" Mr.. Long has based
his campaign principally upon the
Issues favored by the Wilson admin
Istration. The democratic race is
looked upon by politicians as con-
test between "Wilson democrats
represented by Mr.. Long, and the
Reed democrats" led by the cam
didate himself.

GIRL ATHLETES.
To COMPETE IN
EVENTS ABROAD
First Contingent to Repre-
sent the Nation on Foreign
Soil Will Sail on the
Liner Aquitania.
(By The Associated pressl

New York, July 81 (by the AS
sociated Press. )--America will send
forth on the steamship Aquitanla
the first contingent of girl track
athletes who have ever gone to
represent the nation on foreign soil.
They will compete in the interna-
tional track and field games in
Pershing stadium, Paris, August 20.
When international games were
suggested to compare the athletic
progress made by women of various
nations, an invitation was sent to
the United States.
Girls colleges and boarding
schools took up the challenge. The
field was narrowed to inter-s school
and inter-class meets, then by-nu-
merous sectional elimination con-
tests, and finally two national meets
were held, one in the east, the other
in the far west. From the winners
of these thirteen girls were picked
to go to Europe. The judges are
positive that the thirteen are the
best in the nation.
Much trouble was experienced in
stimulating sufficient public enthu-
siasm to get the money to send the
team abroad. with the result that
nearly all the girls are paying their
own expenses. One had to borrow
the funds with the promise of re-
payment when she leaves school.
Definite assignment of the girl
athletes has not yet been made by
DR.. Harry Stewart. Of New Haven
Conn. the coach. physician and in
Idividual who. more than any other,
is responsible for this long step in
fer linism. Assignments will not
be made until near the close OF
training In Paris.
None of the athletes has passed
the bob-hair age, though the
tresses of all haven't been shorn,
and the youngest, Nancy Voorhees,
New York.. is only Is, but quite a
high jumper.

AGREED UPON BY
OBENCHAIN JURY

Men and Women Out An
other Night in Case of
Accused Murderer.
(By The Associated Press)

Los Angeles, July 31.-Prepara-
tions to keep the jury out another
night in the case of Mrs. NADIA
lynne Obenchain on trial for the
murder of j. Belton Kennedy were
ordered late today when a major
ity of the twelve stated there was
a possibility of verdict being
reached.
The jury, which had been di-
vided six to six during most of its
deliberations since last Friday aft
ernoon, had switched to seven to
five when Judge Shenk called it
in to report shortly before 5
o'clock. The foreman stated the
numerical alignment without indi-
eating whether the majority was
for conviction or acquittal.
The Judge asked each member
for an opinion as to whether there
was a chance for a verdict. A ma
jority replied in the affirmative.
After sending the seven women
and five men jurors to the jury
room, the Judge directed that if
they failed to reach d verdict dur
ing the evening they be taken to
hotel for the night. They have
passed the last three nights in two
small rooms in the county hall of
justice, where accommodation are
meager.
The jury at this time had broken
all records for deliberation in a
criminal case in Los Angeles coun-
ty, according to court officials.
Mrs. Obenchain, pale and with
drawn features, listened intently as
the jurors reported there was q
possibility of reaching a verdict
Later she said:
"If the taxpayers can stand this
monkey business, | certainly car
for a little while longer. [ am sorry
the jurors are subjected to the con
fines Of Jail life even slightly"
The jury retired for the night a.
1880 o'clock. It's members an
Inounced they would take advantage
of the courts permission to devote
1.-THE evening to dinner and recupera
ton. and resume their deliberations
early tomorrow morning.

EME ERGENCY COAL
CONTROL BEGINS
BY GOVERNMENT
Negotiations for a Separate
Wage Settlement in Four
Bituminous Fields Are
Thought Likely.

Washington, July 81 (by the AS
sociated Press.) with the federal
emergency coal control machine
piloted by Fuel Distributor Spencer
finally under way, the possibility
that negotiations for a separate wage
settlement between the miners
union and some operators in Penn

ted this week, was strongly indi-
Gated in Washington tonight.
Representatives of the various
government departments and pro-

plan set to work on the initial
problems facing operation of the
scheme, such as organization of re-
gional committees in the producing
fields and formation of coal pools.
The personnel of some OF the re-
gional committees is to be an
nounced tomorrow.
To Hold Meeting Monday.
In Cleveland, it was understood
a meeting is to be held next Mon
day looking to the settlement Of
the strike in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana.
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 union.
The controlling majority in most
operators associations has been un-
willing, however. TO concede the
Unions demands for semi-national

action of the employers and en-
ployes in the four states named
and have also been unwilling tc
concede the wage scale of 1920

Soaring prices of coal, due tc
shortage, is said to have made the
higher wage scale acceptable a
least while the market lasts.

forming an interstate group with
whom he would shortly attempt t
