FIGHT TO Finish
IN RAIL STRIKE NOW
SEEMS CERTAIN
President Likely to Call Conference
on Rail Strike-All Governors But
One To Aid In Coal
Trouble.

Chicago, July 20. - The belief that
President Harding will call confer
ence in Washington of railway execu-
tives and labor leaders within the
next few days in an effort to bring
about settlement of the rail strike was
prevalent in usually well-informed
circles here today.
Admission by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board that it has been
unable to bring about an adjustment
and that ell peace negotiations have
been abandoned, it is believed will re-
suit in indirect Intervention by Presi-
dent Harding. Unless settlement
can be brought about through the eff
forts of the President, it is declared,
finish fight between the railroads
and the unions portends.
Washington, July 90 - Administra-
tion officials are showing increased
concern over the continued falling off
in ccal production, particularly at
non-union mines due to the made
quate car supply.
The Government also is awaiting
today first indications of the results
Of the effort to reopen coal mines
closed by the strike and further re-
sponse from governors of the various
states called upon by President Har-
ling to cooperate to that end.
With responses received up to an
early hour today from about 20 of
he state executives addressed by
President Harding, that from Cover
nor Morrison, of North Carolina, was
the only one declining support Of the
position taken by the Federal Admin
istration.
