Mayor Coad May Face Custer Pro-
ceedings, Officials Report.

Because Of strike conditions in Par
sons that town is practically under
martial law and it is not improbable
that the state will place the town en-
tirely under military supervision. 1t is
also reported that Mayor Alfred Coad
may face custer proceedings as a re-
suit of conditions in the town.
Charles r. Griffith, assistant attor-
ney general. has been investigating
conditions in Parsons. It is reported
that he advised Mayor Coad that the
city considered taking complete
charge of police work in the town. 1t
is further indicated that custer pro-
ceedings against the mayor are con-
sidered.
During the early strike It was
claimed that the Parsons mayor ap-
pointed a number of strikers ana
strike sympathizer as special police Of
ficers. The state ordered these men
released and troops were sent to Par
sons to police the Katy shop district.
Mayor Coad, who is former member
of the legislature and a railroad union
man. is declared to have been lax in
vigilance against strikers during re-
cent railroad troubles in Parsons.

PLAN PEACE PACT
Partial Settlement Is Proposed
at Chicago Farley.
Head of Shop Crafts Meets
With Policy Committee.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE momentous
question of a settlement of the rail-
road strike with group of railroads
estimated all the way from thirty to
sixty in number and controlling from
500 to- $4,000 miles of track, was
before B. NJ. Jewell, president of the
federated shop crafts and the unions
policy committee of ninety.
Members of the committee were all
present, but whether the group settle
ment proposition would be acted upon,
was problematical. 1t was considered
likely that the interests of the strike
leaders would be chiefly concerned in
the federal injunction proceedings be-
fore Judge James H. Wilkerson today
and that action on the strike would
not be reached until tomorrow.
Mr.. Jewell, however. was ready to
personally inform the committee of
the progress he had made toward end
ing the strike and was prepared to ap-
peal for authorization to make peace
with individual roads.
The fact that agreements on differ
ent roads may vary, altho all would
must persuade rs per cent of the COM
mittee to send 25 per cent of the strik-
ing railroad workers back to work,
will also tend to delay action.
Ono Group IN Opposition.
1t was known that strenuous oppo-
sition to the group settlement plan
would come up at the meeting.
Chairmen on some roads not con-
cerned in the settlement plan were re-
ported planning a stiff fight against
any break in the strike. Settle with
all or with none,' is their attitude.
Approval of the group settlement
plan would mean immediate peace
with some thirty railroads and with as
many more within a short time, it is
believed.
The peace plan for President Jewell,
which will be the basis for all separate
agreements embraces three points as
follows:
1. All strikers to be put back to
work at once.
2. All men now at work, who are
competent, to be retained.
8. All matters not covered in the
agreements to be referred to a COM
mittee of ten. five from the roads and
five from the shop crafts.
The unsettled questions of seniority
and pay will be settled by the COM
mittee of ten.
Today's meeting was being closely
watched by Daniel Willard, president
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and
by a personal representative of D.
Davies Warfield, head of the Seaboard
Air Line. These two executives were
the leaders in the secret discussions
with Mr.. Jewell in the east, Mr.. Will
lard returned to the city last night
and with Mr.. Warfield's representa-
tive was ready to explain to the shop
crafts committee any details of the
settlement plan not understood.

What Will happen saturday?
That question was being asked
around the Kansas Free Fair today.
An unconfirmed rumor in circulation
was that something unusual was
slated to occur on Saturday. No one
had any idea as to what that some
thing would be, but all were in
terested.
One man said he had heSrd that the
fair management had Arranged to
bring Jack Dempsey here for an ex-
hibition match with his sparring part
ners. Another rumor was that Eddie
Rickenbacker would pull some air
plane stunts for the entertainment of
fair visitors. 1t was also rumored
that one of the best known men in
the country would quietly drop into
town Saturday and would mingle with
Free Fair visitors as the guest of Sec
retary Eastman.
1t was not ascertained where the
rumor started but different versions OF
it came from many sources. Appar-
emily there is foundation for the eX-
pectation that some unusual feature
of the Free Fair is being kept a secret
and that this feature will be the big
event Saturday.
When asked about the rumor Sec
retary Eastman refused to say a word
He just griuned, one of those grins
that may mean anything. But he did
not deny that something was brewing
for Saturday. Other Free Fair Off
had nothing to say but most of them
looked as tho they could say some
thing interesting if they desired

affirmatively when asked If somethinG
special was being arranged for Satur-
