SETTLEMENT TO BE MADE FRIDAY. RUMoR.

Philadelphia, August 21.--After a late adjournment by anthracite min CTS and operators representatives following q two-hour conference to- day fumors were current about the offices of the Lehigh Coal and NaVi- gation company. where the meeting was held, that possible settlement of the hard coal strike would he effect ed tomorrow. Tine conference will be resumed tomorrow at 5 D. m.
 While no official word was given out today, it was understood that the operators insisted on resump- tion of mining at the old wage scale until April i. 1923 and the miners want a so-called Tong term" contract probably two or three years--at the scale in effect when the suspen- sion was called last April. No indi- cations were given as to what oc- cured behind the closed doors of the negotiators' room. However, news paper men agree that the represen- tatives of both sides appeared to be a bit more cheery after breaking up the days meeting, than after pre- vious conferences.
 In the meantime word had been circulated from unofficial sources that an agreement would be reached probably tomorrow while on the other hand lesser voice in the ru- nor circle maintained that the joint conference would continue for week at least.
 The mine workers representatives were reported to have rejected the proposals of the operators that the wage controversy be referred to the anthracite conciliation commission decision of that body with certain provisions, to be made binding. It was also said that the miners had declared they would accept no form of arbitration and unless some con cession was made by one side or the other there could be no agreement.

LosNAngeles. Cal.

EASTERN CARRIERS
 FRAME POLICY FOR
 RAIL NFERENCE
Loree Indicates Roads Will Oppose Surrender on Seni-

By Associated Press

New York, August 21.-Prelimi- nary to the session of the Association of Railway Executives Wednesday, when members will vote their atti- tude toward proposals of the five big brotherhoods for ending the shop crafts strike, the eastern presi- dents conference today held a secret meeting to formulate a policy for it's Il members to promote at the national session.
 What action the eastern group, which includes several of the most powerful lines will finally pursue was not indicated, those attending todays meeting asserting they had been pledged to secrecy. L. F. Lo rec, president of the Delaware and Hudson, and chairman of the con- ference, issued statement setting forth that Atlantic Coast roads which normally employ ISL, ,S39 shop men, had brought their forces up 71.5 per cent of that figure on Aug ust IS.
 This represented an increase of 2.5 per cent over the week ending August II, the statement indicated.
 Roads represented at the confer ence were those which led the oppo- sition when the national body of rail chiefs rejected President HardIng's two proposals for ending the strike by submitting the seniority issue to the railroad labor board
 End of Strike Distant
 In some circles it was maintained that the end of the strike is as dis tant as it was when the Big Five leaders concluded deliberations with the executives last Friday night Others close to the situation con tinued optimistic, asserting that definite understanding of the posi- tons of both sides could be reached, which would result in an early settlement of the seniority question to the satisfaction of the strikers, as well as present employees
 MT. Loree saying that he spoke for himself alone, later said;
 You can quote meas saving l stand where 1 have stood from the start-solidly against any surrender and it is a surrender on the part Of the roads to give back the strikers their seniority"
 ". w Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania system, told newspaper men that the President of the Delaware and Hudson spoke for all of the eastern roads.
 MT. Loree speaks for the bunch" he said, "and l will back anything he says"

Services of the complaint on Devalera and the other defendants was ordered to be made through the insertion of advertisements in papers in England and Ireland. Most of the funds involved are said to be de- posted with the Guaranty Trust company and the Hartman National bank
 Ireland Now Nation
 The main contention urged against the Devalera custody of the Irish funds. the application for an injunc- ton, read, was that Ireland is now nation. that Devalera is against the present government and is a fu- gitive and that he Is not entitled to the money. If Devalera or his forces were granted the present funds in American banks, the Free State representatives contend it would be devoted to the carrying on Of further revolution against the pres- ent government and prolong need. less and unjustifiable civil war in a

CHAPTER 539


 Copyright, 1920, King Features Syndi- cate, Inc. Your rent isn't what botherS me" cried Carlotta. leading the way to my upstairs sitting room and trying With awkward kindness to nelp my fumb- ling fingers find their way to the pins in my hat.
 Why? Is there worse to come?" I trickled out, striving for some wee grasp on a sense ot ehumor Tn thls humorlesS situation.
 Your furniture-au your belong ings Burned, dear-utterly destroy ed. I know you'll grieve, you blessed sentimentalist even though your in surance probably covers you fully"
 "Yes-Iu grieve,''I stammered.
 There was nothing more I'd trust myself to say. How could tell Car lotta that every stick and bit of stuff in my apartment had been mortgaged up to the hilt? Carlotta, however, persisted.
 "Your insurance does cover you, doesn't it?''
 Something in the keen yet gentle honesty of her glance, as it fixed it. self on me with a force which could hardly be gainsaid, swept past cer- tain barriers of reserve. With temporary resurgence or the bitter ness I'd felt when first l realized that it was Mabel Storrs. not I, who had charge of Jim's affairs. I opened my lips to give Carlotto my full con- fidence. This, I knew, would gain for me advice-and I needed advice, to say the least.
 If were to lose my rent check I'd not have money enough to pay the bills of A. L. Harrison, Advertising Consultant. Probably it wouldn't hurt my credit to let my bills run month, but it would hurt my pride and would lose me the five per cent. discount which was not a negligible item.
 Everything in the apartment, how ever, was nnortgaged- It seemed only natural to me that the owner of the mortgage would have insisted on hay ing things insured in his favor. If that were so, I'd lose my rent for all the rest of the time I'd have to con- tfnue paying for my lease. What had been an asset would be- come then a heavy liability. If Car Iotta knew, she'd stand by me-she might be able to tide me over some how. So-with my conscious mind made up to confide in her fully re- piled to her question concerning in surance:
 s"There ought to be insurance. Jim had a way of protecting me from business worries, so l can't say for sure until I consult the young woman in charge of his office" And as I finished that statement, so contrary to the dictates of my own common-sense determination to make 2. clean breast of things, l realized that I couldn't belittle Jim even though silence cost me the success or nv business. couldn't sacrifice TIIo,s nride to save myself. It might ba common sense to do so. l might want to with. all my logical senses But something bigger than i+ne me Ioue ou in my heart-wouldn't let me. That's 1Dae I all there is to it, I'll fight TOT TOT I1Iaoass Ihas with every weapon in my rossession - but the weapon which might be a boomerang against Jim would slip through my fingers 1T were to try to use it.

Her Lost Love

Her Lost Love Dear Miss Fairfax:
 About four years ago went about with a. young man whom I loved and thought my love was reciprocated- After going with this man for about two years we had few words be- tween us and he told me he did not love me and we would neveE be happy together.
 About a year ago I met another young man and began going with him in hopes of forgetting No. 1. This young man has grown to love me and has asked me to become his wife But I can't seem to forget No. i. I know I have gone out of the life of No. entirely, as he is now engaged.
 HEART-BROKEN.
 Talk the thing over with your suit or I think you'll find that. once you put the thing into words it will seem very little to stand between you and the promise of happiness. We are all inclined to remember a first love. It leaves a. deep impression on mem ory-but if we don't make a fetish out of it and keep it hidden away to worship in silence, it's likely to fade to nothdngness in the clear air of coramonsense and daylight.
