of Maryland, and her husband,
Charles y. MagnesS, seventeen

Washington, Aug. In the midst
of the doubt and uncertainty that have
settled over the Administration in
dealing with the railroad strike rail-
road forces are preparing a far-reach-
ing campaign to repeal the Transpor-
tation act.
William S. Carter. who was director
of labor in the Railroad Administra-
tion during the war and is the former
president of the powerful Brotherhood
of Locomotive Fireman and Engine
men and affiliated with the Locomo-
tive Engineers Brotherhood, will di-
rect the fight.
Mr. Carter has moved to Washing
ton. On the surface, it has been stat
ed that he is to have charge of public
ity for some of the brotherhoods. But
his real work, it is stated in well-in-
formed and reliable quarters, IS to di-
rect a movement either to wipe the
Transportation act off the books or to
amend it so drastically as practically
to nullify its purposes.
1t is believed by railroad labor Lead
ers that the present situation Is hlgh-
" favorable to such movement Inc
body of the opposition they expect
from the railroads, and they think the
railroads are in bad" with the coun-
try because of their refusal to accept
President Harding's compromise set
Element of the strike. The labor peo-
pie also expect the strike situation to
become worse and they figure that will
make the public pind more receptive
to their arguments
So far as indications in Washington
yesterday go. there is little reason to
hope that the. Administration will be
able to develop at any time soon anew
compromise proposal, or that either

Washington, Aug 4.--Ten years Of
honorable service as fire horse re-
warded with job hauling g garbage
wagon broke the heart of old Jack
Gallup" He committed suicide yes
terday in front of a hrehouse, and his
fremen friends say ne did it deliber-
ately.
Old Jack for years was one of three
plump, sleek bays who whirled
steamer to every big fire in Washing
ton, and TO many little ones, too. But
the motor finally got old Jack and his
pals and they went the way of thous-
ands of others in an age of progress.
A week ago there were some sobS
checked down and some tears brushed
away among the fremen over in Con-

were led away Yesterday Jack turned

filthy garbage wagon in old George

KEEN
IN COAL PARLEY
Washington Awaits Out
come of Conference Call
ed In Cleveland
Northern West Virginia Operators
Seek Representation in NegOtia-
tions-Miners Are Not Weakening.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Outweigh-
ing in all other questions in connec-
tien with the coal strike is the spec
ulation in Washington as to wheth-
er there will be represented at the
Cleveland conference called Tor
Monday by John L. Lewis, of the
mine workers, sufficient tonnage to
warrant the writing Of an agree
ment that will put the bituminous
union miners back in the pits.
Michael Gallagher, president OF
the Pittsburgh Vein Coal Operators
Association of Ohio, yesterday for
mally accepted the invitation of Mr..
Lewis to attend the Cleveland con-
ference, saying that the association
will join with them in every proper
effort to bring about a wage scale
that will be fair in its terms and
assure the public coal"
Strength is added to those who
view a settlement as possible by the
confirmation of recent reports that
the Northern West Virginia coal
operators have taken the initiative
toward representation at the Cleve-
land joint conference. Production Of
mines is given at a minimum
as 26,000,000 tons annually. They
have not participated in these joint
conferences hitherto which would
have been supposed to represent the
central competitive feld-Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and IL
linoiS-and the agreements made
being applied generally to the BIZ
luminous coal fields.
OF interest in connection with
the announcement of Secretary of
Labor Davis on Tuesday that the
administration was in sympathy
with the purpose of the call of Mr..
Lewis for the Cleveland conference,
was the visit to this city today Of
Samuel Glasgow, general counsel
for the United Mine Workers. Mr..
Glasgow had a prolonged interview
with President Harding, being ac
companied to the White House by
Secretary Hoover. Mr.. Glasgow,
il is understood, suggested that the
Illinois operators, who have so far
refused to join the operators who
have so far refused Co ojin the op-,
are favorablt to the conference,
night change their attitude if the
President urged it. Illinois opera
tors will meet tomorrow to pass
finally upon Mr.. Lewis offer.
1t is realized by the operators
who are in favor of the Lewis can
that they can pay the 1920 wage
scale and make money .if they can
get into the Northwest field with
their product. When the call was
issued by Mr.. Lewis it was declared
by those in touch with the miners
leader that he was assured of
enough tonnage to warrant him in
making an agreement, although just
what tonnage would be demanded is
unknown. .f
So far the miners leaders seem
to have been able to keep their r'en
from weakening. Reports from the
coal districts indicate general
failure to resume work. Some
mines. t true, have reopened, but
ther total tonnage is negligible.

OLD FIRE HORSE KILLS SELF
RATHER THAN HAUL GARBAGE

town.
The day was hot and the job was
nasty, and the disgrace was worst Of
all. Nobody knows what Jack might
have said in horse tt his mate, but any
way. he took the bit in his teeth and
so,ted, dragging his teammate with
him and heading for the nearest en-
CINE house. Jack knew right where it
was, too, although ne never had
worked in that part of the city be-
fore.
He galloped full tilt right into the
brick wall head-on, and crumpled
down in a heap. The shocked and
grieved iremen, recognizing the old
hero by the brand marks on his hoofs,
gave him the coup de grace to end his
struggles.
Nobody could convince them that
Jack Gallup did not deliberately take
his life rather tnan end it hauling a
garbage wagon.

INVESTIGATE
VIOLATIONS OF
Child LABOR
Representative of The State
Here Looking After
Situation
TWO IN COURT TO-DAY
New Law Not Very Well Understood
Affects Children Between II and
16 Years Old.

The bureau of labor OF tie state is
investigating violations of the child
labor law in this city and John
Gribbeng, of Richmond, has been in
tbs city for the past few weeks
making a survey of the situation.
The new law applies to all child
rem I'D to sixteen years Of age and
there are many persons, especially
merehahts. who are not familiar
with the law. Mr.. Gribbeng had
two merchants cited into court TO-
dav and Justice Duvall dismissed
the cases after explaining the law
on the subject.
According to the law it is stated
that newsboys, messengers, boot
blacks and in fact any boy between
the ages of twelve and sixteen years
when school is not in session may
sell papers when they obtain per
mits and boys between IA and 16
when schools are in session must
obtain permits.
AS heretofore stated the required
badges may be obtained from the
superintendent of public schools.
The new law is not yet thorough
lv understood by the merchants OF
the state it is stated and there
have been comparatively few prose-
cutions, as the state authorities are
anxious that all of the merchants IN
the state familiarize themselves
with the Law. Already number Of
opinions have been asked for from
the state authorizes on the subject.

REPEAL OF RAIL ACT
AIM OF UNION CHIEF
Drastic Action By
big Four" Imminent
Result of Dangerous Condition of
Rolling Stock of Railroads

Washington, D. c., Aug. 4.-Dras-
tic action by the Big Four" Is I'M
minent as result of the ''perilous
condition" of rolling stock on the rail-
roads, brotherhood leader in Wash
ington told the newspaper men today
They charged that defective locomo-
tives are being operated by the rail-
roads in violation of Federal laws.
At the same time it became known
that labor leaders are gathering data
for an energetic protest to Congress,
and it is probable an investigation OF
the Interstate Commerce ommlssion
will be asked for its alleged laXity IN
enforcing Federal laws
Our engineers in many instances
are being coaxed to drive locomotives
that are badly in need of repairs as
result of the shopmen's strike and IN
some cases they are not only being
coaxed. but threatened with punish
ment if they do not drive the engines" "
said H. E. Wills, vice-president OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
"This is in direct violation of the
agreement entered into at Chicago
several weeks ago between the Broth
erhoods and the executives providing
that no engineer should be called upon
or compelled to operate a defective
locomotive"
There is dynamite under the whole
locomotive situation" said Wills "Ac-
tion probably will be taken within a
few days" Wills is the representa-
tive in Washington of Warren s..
Stone, president of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, with head
quarters in Cleveland, Ohio.

Crowds Enjoy ncOnveniences--Peace
Efforts Halted-MayOr Urges
Bus Lines

Chicago, Aug. with all peace eff
forts apparently at standstill, the
third day of the street car strike found
Chicago's straphangers still good-na-
turedly perched on packing boxes in
motor busses, trucks, crowded into
"jitneys" or walking to steam trains.
The crowding, waiting and incon-
venience seemed to grow less and the
public seemed to enjoy the novelty of
riding to and from work with a seat
in a comfortable touring car instead
of hanging to strap in the usually
crowded elevated or surface lines.
In message to the Council yester-
day Mayor Thompson denounced the
officials of the car companies and asked
an appropriation of S3,000,000 TO in
stall a municipal Scent bus line.

THE Southern Railway system is
not a member of the Association of
Railway Executives. 1t was not rep
resented and did not vote upon the
Presidents proposal as submitted. As
set forth by Vice President Miller in
the statement accompanying his an
nouncement, unlike the great majority
of the railroads of the country, the
Southern Railway has employed no
new men and has set no date for the
termination of seniority and other
rights of it's strikers if they did not
