LABOR BOARD OUTLINES PLAN TO END STRIKE
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 27.-The basis of possible settlement of the strike o some 300, ,000 railway shopmen wa suggested by a member of the Unite States labor board tonight as fol lows:
 shop craft men who remained mt work to go to the head of the seniority lists. taking precedence over all those who struck.
 Strikers to regain pension priv ileges and pcniority rights but to rank below the men who re- mained ieynI to the road but ahead of new men taken on during the course of the strike.
 New employees who have been filling places of the strikers to be kept in the service of the roads but to take only seniority to which they are entitled by length of actual service.
 Shop craft men who struck to return to work under the wage sezsic and working conditions put into effect by the labor board on July l, pending . rehenring by the .~--S
 Railroads to stop outside con- tracting. to establish regional adjustment boards and to drop all possible damage suits grow ing out of the strike.
 It was pointed out that such settlement took care of the strike, the loyal employees and the new me and provided for the submitting o the original grievances to the labo board
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-28

While Mir. Cuyler was positive in his statement that the basis for pro- posed settlement of the strike had not been definitely drawn up. earlier reports indicated that at least tentative plan had resulted from the conferences held during the day be- tween President Harding and leaders of the various railroad labor groups.
 President Harding has made no specific request to the railroad ex- ecutives, Mir. Cuyler said. when asked If the question of seniority rights had been brought forward at the con ference with view to influencing some railroads to reconsider their stand against returning these rights to striking shopmen.

J., July 27.-Renny Leonard. worlds light weight boxing champion. successfully defended his title against Lew Tendler, Philadelphia. in i2-round no- o-decision contest tonight. earning in the opinion of a majority of sport writers at the ringside, narrow shade in great struggle.
 The challenger, left handler, fur nished the champion the most inter estfng combat Leonard has had since he turned back Willie Ritchie some years ago.
 Tender starts We'll
 Tender, starting with great con fidesce and skill, ca ried .'.- hgh. to the champion. He pummeied Leonard with stiff lefts to the body and sharp rights to the head and law and brought blood to the cham pions hose. early. It appeared h the first four rounds that Tender was to have things all his own way.
 Then Leonard steadied himself and began to find a mark He carri.i the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds in burst of speed and looked him  bumped Tenders shoulder and he lost false tooth.
 The eighth found Tender on the aggres i've again. After taking hard right to the jaw and another under the heart, he fought Leonard at close quarters and swung mum Der of hard iefts to the jaw. Leon ards knees sagged and he .clinched to save himself. From then on t5e champion took few chances.

 All during his training he had be- Titled Tenders pugilistic record, and predicted that he would finish the Philadelphian within seven he would win by a knockout, but he had nothing to say Of this tonight.

EVERY REASON ID BELIEVE MEETING
 SOON, SAYS LEWIS
Leaders Will Cooperate When Assurance That Sufficient Tonnage Will Be Represent
 ed at Conference Is Given
By As.oclntea Pres.

Philadelphia, July 27.-Powerful influences, governmental and other wise, are understood to be at work to arrange an interstate joint wage conference and thereby bring to an end the soft coal strike. John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, would not indicate today where and how these influences are being exerted, but he let it be known in a public statement that he had "every reason to believe that an interstate joint conference of the central competitive fields will be ar ranged within a few days.
 Mir. Lewis expressed this belief after two days of conferrfng with the district presidents of the union, from western Pennsylvania, ono and Indiana. This territory and Illl- nois comprise the central compet- itive fields. Illinois was not repre- sented at the meetings.
 Sufficient Tonnage.
 It was made known by union lead CTS that as soon as they have as- lNdl AVhhdbE HtiA be represented at an interstate con- ference to make a basic wage scale possible, call for the meeting will be issued at once. Such call, 1t was said, may come any day. Efforts to learn what percentage of the total tonnage of the central competitive fields would have to be represented to make possible basic wage agreement could not be learred. It sl ft .4n companies consenting to enter an i interslHls Int ctlltE.
 rnion feads rs hare today appeared to be optimistic. Lee Hall, president of the ohio miners, said the opera tors of his state were willing to enter aa interstate conference. Others said they felt such confer ence would soon be held and pre- dicted that operators who refused to enter the meeting would fall In line when they found their business going to companies that had resumed ! the mining of coal.
 If conference Is called soon. it was said. among the union leaders the operators would go into the meeting with tacit understanding that they would not demand a re- duction in tho wage scale that ex- pired March 31.
 Mine Workers Win.
 In this connection the statement of President Lewis said that 1t Is undoubtedly true that to all pur- poses and effect, the mine workers have won their present strike, and it is almost universally recognized In industrial and financial circles throughout the country that no wage reduction can be applied In the mining industry"
 There were no developments in l the anthracite today. so far as could i be learned. It is understood how ever. that as room as definite move Is made toward a settlement in the soft coal fields, so action toward ending the suspension in the hard coal regions can be looked for.
 President Lewis and other district presidents read with apparent sat isfaction the calling off of the pro- posed miners convention in Illinois. The miners chief had no comment to make.

DEMOCRATS WOULD. HAVE SC|ENTIFIC IC.
 TARIFF, SAYS SMITH.
Rewriting of Silk Schedule and Continued Fight on Raw Wool Rates Feature
 Senate Battle
By Associated Press


 Washington, July 27.-Continua- tion of republican opposition to the rates in the wool schedule; demo- cratic proposal for a scientific tariff, as substitute for the pending bill, and the virtual rewriting of the silk schedule by the finance commit tee majority were outstanding de- velopments in the tariff situation in the Senate.
 Senators Lenroot of Wisconsi q and Nelson, Minnesota, voiced the protests of a small group on the ma jority side against the wool rates, but on roll calls the committee recommendations were approved by overwhelming majorities. Mir. Lem root told the Senate he r. alized the utter futility" of undertaking to bring about any changes In the protective duties proposed.
 Facts DisreEarded
 Tt could not be done, no matter what facts were shown to the Sen ate" he declared. The votes are here to put the rates through just as the committee reported them"
 Senator Nelson characterized the committee rate of 40 cents a pound and 50 per cent ad valorem on woolen cloth weighing not moro than four ounces to the square yard Hs an outrage He said 1t worked out at 100 per cent ad valorem.
 Senator Shoot of Utah, in charge of the schedule for the finance com nittea majority. said these wefs very fine cloths; that the 40 cents a pound rate was necessary to com pensate the manufacturers for the B cents a pound rate on the secured content of wool and that the pro tective rate had been based on the difference in costs of production fin this country and abroad
 Duty Too High
 Making a similar explanation of the rate. Chairman McCumber as- serted if 1t could be shown that the protective duty was too nigh, the committee and the Senate would change 1t.
 Continuing hls assaults on the wool schedule. Senator Walsh of Massa : chusetts- In charge of the minority opposition. told the Senate the duties on yarns which were approved as recommended by the committee furnished "the most outrageous case" that had come up in the wool discussion.
 He charged that they were duties "to best special gifts and special duties on the spinners."
 Walsh Amendment
 An amendment by Senator Walsh to reduce the protective rates by 10 per cent was rejected by 31 to n and then the original rates ap- proved 31 to 19. Five republicans Borah Cummins. Jones of Washing ton. Kellogg and Lenroot voted for them.
 Opposing the rates in the first cloth paragraph which drew fire from Senator Nelson and which was e- der consideration when the Senate re- cessed, Senator Walsh said he ex. pected before the discussion of thf wool schedule ended that the nigh protectiv duties proposed" would benefit companies "reeking witt watered stock"
 Earlier in the day. Senator Smith democrat, South Carolina. stated tha; if no one else did. he probably would offer an amendment to the tariff bill under which individuals or corpora tions making increased profits as . result of the tariff duties to be Inn posed would be required to distribute
