PLAN FOR RAIL STRIKE SET'TL LEMENT HAL TED
Text of Presidents
 Letter to Rail Heads
 On Strike Proposals
By Associated Press

New York, August 1.-The text of President Harding's letter cmbodying his proposals for the settlement of the railroad strike follows:
 T am writing to convey to you the terms of agreement, as l understand them. on which the railway managers and united shop crafts workers arc to agree, preliminary to calling off the existing strike.
 First. Railway managers and workmen are to agree to recog- nize the validity of all decisions of the railroad labor board, and to faithfully carry out such de- cisions as contemplated by the law.
 Second. The carriers will withdraw all lawsuits growing out of the strike. and railroad labor board decisions which have been involved in the strike may be taken, in the exercise or recognized rights by either party, to the railroad labor board for rehearIng.
 Third. All employees now on strike to be returned to work and to their former positions with seniority and other rights unimpaired. The representatives of the carriers and the represen- tatives of the organizations es- pecially agree that there will be no discrimination by either party against the employees who did or did not strike.
 NfaVr af tho tbtpHo eaga our personal interview" the text Of the Presidents letter contin- ued, Tt Is hardly necessary for me to emphasize my belief In the wisdom of the railway managers accepting this compromise in cr- der to bring the strike to an end. I have made a very full appraisal of all tlie embarrassments in- volved in making the seniority rcstordtion.'
 proposition that the order of things on the day the strike be-. gan to be restored, and that both employers and workers agree against discrimination toward either those who struck or did not strike, will leave to the mana gers only the difficult problem of dealing with the new men. It would be futile for me to at tempt the way of most easily solving that difficulty.

Accused Slayer of Macon Policeman
 Riddled With Bullets
By Associated Pres.

Macon. Ga. August 1.-John (cockey) Glover. negro. accused of having killed Walter Byrd, deputy sheriff, here last Tuesday night, was taken from officers after his arrest at Griffin today and shot to death 10 miles from here by a mob. which brought the body to Macon and dumped It down on Broadway. near the scene of Saturdays shooting.
 There had been threats and .>rom- iscuous shooting at negroes Satur- day night and police promptly closed the negro business section or Broad way today as soon as they heard that Glover had been caught. They said later their act averted possible race trouble as crowds of whites rushed into Broadway and scrambled for pieces of clothing as souvenirs. The police finally took the body and carried 1t way.
 Officers, who arrested Glover, said he plead: "Kill me now: don't take me back to Macon; I know what you want me for"
 Efforts were being made to get the negro to Atlanta for safety when he was seized by the mob. Glover had shot T. F. Phelps. ' po- liceman. when he was apprehended today. and 1t was feared tonight that Phelps might lose his arm.

SENATE RACE '.!.:s' MISSOURI (fyES

Early Returns in From Mis- Souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Virginia and West
 Virginia

St. Louis, August 1.--with the Reed strongholds, St. Louis and an- sas City embracing more than one quarter of all the precincts in the state, virtually unheard from, Breckenridge Long was leading Senator James A. Reed by s,1o4 votes in the race for the democratic nomination for United States sena- tor. Only 65 of the LOOT precincts in the two big cities had reported.
 Returns from 9T9 out of 3,S45 precincts gave Long s4,o67 and Reed 54.963.
 R. R. Brewster of Kansas City, a regular republican, was leading a field of six on returns froL. 6l0 precincts by 12.342 votes for the republican senatorial nomination. Ills nearest opponent. John c. Mo- Kinley, & progressive, with 6,001 votes, to 1S,343 for Brewster. was second.
 With the polls closing at o'clock returns came in slowly. At 9 o'clock less than 300 of the 3,34S precincts had reported.
 Most of the early returns
 were from rural districts with
 the two big cities, strongholds
 of Reed fin the democratic rnces
 md of the vets yet to report
 On the base of the early re-
 turns from the rural districts,
 1t was estimated that Long
 would come up to the St. Louis
 and Kansas City limits with a
 10000 vote 1ead.
 Political observers have declared that Reed would carry the two big cities by anywhere from 30,o00 to 40, 0,00O votes, indicating hat the race would be close.
 While Brewster. backed by the regular republican organization, was leading his field of sig by a margin, friends of Sacks still claim he still has a chance when the wet stronghoids are counted.
 The republican progressive vote was apparently widely split between Barrett, Mckinley and Proctor, all though their combined vote in the first 72 precincts was less than Brewster's total.
 Breckenridge Long declared short ly before midnight he was confident that hs had been nominated. but that the race was closer than he had anticipated.
 When a newspaper suggested 1t would be decided by 5000 to 5000 votes. Mir Long said:

CHICAGO WALKS
 W|THCARS HAL TED
250, ,000 Street Car and EIe- vated Road Men Strike,
 ParaIyzing Traffic
By Associated Pres.

Chicago, August With 250,O0O street car and elevated road em- ployes on strike, paralyzing all elec- tric transportation for the third time in the city's history, Chicago mos tored or walked today.
 While men and women crowded the pavements and store corners, nearly everything that looked like a ve- hicle was used to move the crowds with amazing facility and with little inconvenience. It was the automo- bile's triumph, according to traffic policemen. who expressed a wonder at the ease with which the motor fleets had apparently solved the tremendous transportation problem.
 Very Little Congestion
 With street cars out of the way and q system of one-way traffic signs installed in the downtown sec tion, police reported less than the crowds showed no dimlnution and most workers reached their places of work on time
 There were several accidents dur ing tthe day. resulting in the injury of nearly dozen persons and in the death of one man. who was struck by a passing car while trying to board a "jitney."
 It was estimated that nearly 150.- 900 motor vehicles were brought into service and that with the help of the steam roads and the "shanks mares" they carried the 2.54o,ooo patrons usually carried by the electric lines
 No step toward settlement had been made by either side tonight. The workers are striking for high CT wage than the surface lines have offered and for continuation of the eight-hour day. The elevated men want an extension of their present wage agreement.
