Illinois Miners
Offered Truce,
Jobs at Old Pay
Operators Ask That Men Go
Back Until March, 1928:
Permanent Settlement To
BE by Arbitration Board
Early Output Possible
Mines Can Resume in Two
Days if Workers Accept;
Lewis Invitation Refused
sseciar Dispatch to THE Tribune


CHICAGO, Aug. Am offer to ILL
nois coal miners of their old wage scale
if they will go back to work ''to avoid
possible further disruption Of ccal pro-
duction this fall and winter, when the
coal supply will be dangerously short, "
was made to-day by Illinois operators.
If accepted by Frank harrington, presi-
dent of the Illinois miners, the offer
probably will result in reopening of
Illinois mines within forty EIGHT hours.
The operators propose that the men
return to work Immediately upon the
wage scales in effect when the strike
was declared, on condition that board
of arbitration be Immediately selected
to begin work toward permanent set
Element of differences.
Pre-strike working conditions are
also to rule pending permanent settle
ments.
II is proposed that the "truce" re-
main effective until March 81, 1928, BY
which date 1t is expected the arbitration
board will have had opportunity I'd
iron out all points at issue. ~
The personnel Of the board, the pro-
posal states, shall be Citizens of high
standing, agreed to mutually" or may
be appointed by President Harding.
The near approach of cold weather
together with the critical coal condi-
tion in Illinois, made more critical by
government action Thursday, in
f1uenced the operators in making this
proposal it is agreed.
Those signing the letter to Mr.. Far
rington are Rice Miller, president
Illinois Coal Operators Association;
W. X. Cavanaugh, president Coal OPP
orators Association, Fifth and Ninth
districts of Illinois, and II. c. Adams
president, Central Illinois Coal OPP
orators Association.
At the same time the Illinois oper-
ators decided not to attend the con-
ference called at Cleveland next Mon
day by John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers. The refusal to-
day also of the Freeport Thick Vein
Coal Operators Association, meeting
at Pittsburgh, to attend the Cleveland
meeting seemed to lessen the chances
of the success Of that meeting, al
though other advices from Pittsburgh
said that there was every prospect
that the Cleveland meeting would re-
suit in some kind of peace agree
ment that would send some of the
miners in Ohio, pennsylvania, Indiana
and Illinois back to their jobs.

discussed both the coal and rail strikes
at length to-day. While the govern
ment is prepared to resort to Federal
operation of both mines and railroads,
the President does not think the time
has arrived for either. And in this
view ne is sustained by majority of
the Cabinet. Secretary of Commerce
Hoover reported that progress is being
made in dealing with the coal strike,
In another week or ten days il will he
determined whether the situation can
be handled satisfactorily without fur
ther government Intervention.
Roads Defend Equipment
Steps taken by Eastern lines to share
their equipment with less fortunate
ROADS are expected to improve the SIT
uatlon. Figures made public by the
ASSOCIATION OF Railroad Executives dis
prove union contentious that great
numbers of engines have been added
to the disabled list since the strike
began. These show the number of en-
gines out Of order now is about the
same as year ago, and about the
average for the last year although
considerably more on July IS than
July /.
The following statement was issued
by the Association of Railway Execu-
tives:
Representatives of the striking
railroad employees are attempting to
arouse public concern over the alleged
enormous impairment in the condition
Of the motive power and cars Of The
railroads.
mo industry in the world is con-
Quoted with anything like the publicity
wrlch surrounds all the important as
poets of American railroad operation
Among other things the railroads re-
port regularly statistics covering their
car loadings, their idle cars and their
bad order equipment.
The stories to the effect that O thou
sand locomotives are falling out of use
every day are ridiculous. On july Is
OF this year-two weeks after the
strike began-there were fewer loco
motives in bad order than on February
l, March 1, April 1, May l or June /.
Below are the figures showing the num-
Der of bad order locomotives from July
l, 1921, to July Is, 1922, inclusive:
July /, 1921, 15, 437; August /. 1921

Increase Began During War
"The number of bad order cars has
been excessive since the period of Fed
eral control.
THE inability of the railroads to
earn even operating expenses during
8. part of 1921, coupled with the re-
slstance of the men now on strike to
any. reasonable reduction in wages,
made the adequate maintenance of the
cars of the country financially in
possible over long period.

324,s3 and on July Is 342,07s, an in
crease of 17,495. This is not an All
normal increase, in view of the traffic
indicated by the heavy car loadings of
the months of June and July"

daily increased.
We fear that a continuation of
these conditions will inevitably re-
suit in Our members, as matter of
seIf-protecfion, being drawn into the
controversy, and we greatly deplore
such contingency.
Urge Roads to Accept Plan
'twe feel that the American public
is fully in sympathy with the Presi-
dents efforts to settle this strike.
and in the light of the above facts
and in the interest of public welfare,
peace and safety we suggest you call
upon the President and urge him to
again bring this matter to the atten-
ton of the railroad executives, with
the hope that he may yet succeed in
convincing them of the necessity for
their prompt acceptance of tho Presi-
dents proposals, which have been ac-
cepted by the shop crafts.
Continued refusal TO accept the
Presidents proposal for eompro-
mise settlement of pending questions
will place upon the railroad execu-
tiyes full responsibility for the in
creasing seriousness of the situation.
We suggest you file this message
with the President as a basis for
discussion with him of the questions
at issue, and to show you have full
authority OF the undersigned chief
executives to meet him. We are
wiring the President you will call
upon him with full authority to dis
cuss this subject"
"The situation" Mr.. Robertson said
after the meeting, "has reached a point
where unless something is done it will
be hard, IL not inevitable, to keep the
brotherhoods from being involved.
Reports continually come to US of
armed guards cndangering the lives of
our men. There are constant reports
of accidents through defective equip
ment. Unless something is done to
protect our men we will have to take
some action to protect them"
Two instances of the aggravated con-
ditions which have brought the broth
ing to renew his efforts to settle the
strike were cited by Mr.. Robertson to-
night.
Hostler Dead in Pit
A telephone call came in this after
noon from Howell, Ind, on the Louis

telephone report said, all reported that
the death was an accident.

ternoon TO Mr.. Robertson from Roch-

ST, LOUIS, Aug. 4.-zFifai totals Of
the primary compiled in reports from
correspondents brought a further drop
tonight In senator Reeds margin over
Breckenridge Long, his competitor for
the Democratic Senatorial nomination,
the 1850 precincts in the state. Reed
was leading by 500 votes.

in the same precincts, was leading
William Sacks by 1880 More pre-
cincts had reported on Reed and Long.
however, than on Brewster and Sacks,
and Brewster's final plurality Is cx-
pected to be materially larger than his
present lead.
Reed is expected 10 make substan-
tial gain when three missing Kansas
City precincts are reported in the
official canvass, to start tomorrow It
is expected that Reed will finally win
by more than 5000 plurality.
Official canvass Of the vote in twenty
five out Of twenty-six precincts in st.
Louis County to-day gave Long a lead
Of 1T votes, the vote being, Long,
1894; Reed, 1,347. Young, the third
Democratic Senatorship aspirant, re-
ceived 81.
Based on the vote reported 80 far,
the total Democratic primary vote on
the Senatorship this year probably will
reach $4,000, which compares with a
total Democratic primary vote in 1920
Of 176002 and of 194,255 in 1915. These
figures are regarded as indicating that
the women's vote cast this year in
statewide primary for the first time
about doubled the total vote of prevl
GUS years. The interest over the SEN
atorial contest this year, however, Of
fers another probability, in that
larger mems vote was brought out and
that the doubling of the total is not
due entirely to the women.
Most of the returns still unreported
are in precincts in Ozark counties,
where the total vote is light and the
Democratic vote is almost negligible.
Reed carried st. Louis and twenty
three counties, nearly all by small mar
gins. Of these, twelve counties are
normally Republican, and with few ex-
ceptions all like st. Louis have a large
wet Republican vote.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. a (By The Associ-

4 GOOD SIGN

In this day when there has
been so much discussion anent
the decline Of morals and the de-
cadence Of religious life it is re-
freshing to secure a bit of evil
dence indicating that the situa-
ton in this regard is not so bad
probably, as il has ut times been
portrayed. The Manufacturers
Record notes that in eight months
three hundred and sixty church
buildings have been begun OF
completed in the South alone
The total outlay for these build
ings is more than $4,000, 900
None of these churches involves
a cost of less than $4,000 and
they run well on to a million in
two or three instances.
Communities which are irrelig-
ious, in which the people care
nothing for the influence exerted
by churches, do not cxpend great
sums in erecting buildings to
stand idle because no one goes to
worship. If costly churches are
built, il is because the commune
ties are interested in that for
which the churches stand. a
church is not like an ordinary in
vestmcnt. 1t returns no cash di
vidends directly. 1t has to make
its appeal on other grounds.
That people are willing, even
eager sometimes, to give great
sums for such purpose shows
the splendid force that the church
exerts. Where they build new
and costly churches there are
ohurch-going people.
While the territory covered in
the review embraces the South
alone. that section undoubtedly is
not the only one that is building
new and better places of worship
in like extent. Were a survey
taken of the Northern states
probably similar condition
would be found. Fine churches
are not only indicative of the re-
ligious lie of community, they
denote wealth also. And, as we
said before, the fact that so many
new church structures are being
erected throughout the country
seems TO show that the great
mass OF people, after all, are not
unmindful OF their religious du-
ties.

REACHING TIE SUMMIT

Though failure has been the
result of the attempt to climb Mt.
Everest the British make it clear
that they will not give up the eff
fort. Rarely is difficult under
taking successful the first time il
is essayed. But, taking account
of obstacles that battle one expe-
dition and guarding against them
may enable another TO triumph.
1t is the opinion of those having
knowledge of what is demanded
OF climbers who attempt the
mountains lofty attitudes that
men over 80 years of age are
disqualified. Only those younger
have the vitality 10 withstand the
rigors of such an ascent and the
bitter cold which prevails.
A party made UP of the hardi-
est of men not out of their youth
might succeed were they given
a favorable weather. The expe-
dition got near enough to the top
to secure an idea of the charac-
ter OF the last few hundred feet
and it is the opinion that ascent
is practicable. No insurmounta-
bic obstacles are apparent.
though II Is agreed that it would
be laborious climbing.
The fact that this expedition
failed will inspire others to try TO
reach the summit. Success
might not be worth what it would
cost, but ambition to accomplish
what has hitherto been unattain-
able does not count cost. That
men sought the Poles and died
in the attempt did not discour-
age others On the contrary.
