Commerce Commission Pre-.
pairing to Issue Declaration
of Emergency Under
Transportation Act.
Strike Conspiracy Seel.

/ Washington. July 9j.-The Inter-
state Commerce commission is ex-
pected Monday TO issue a declaration
OF the existence oil an emergency
within the meaning OF the transpor-
tation act. as the first step towards
. government control OF the movements
OF coal.
Such declaration. when issued by
the Interstate Commerce commission,
under the provisions OF the Cummins-
ESch law, means the suspension Of
existing rules as to routing. pooling
OF terminal facilities aud locomotive
and car equipment; in short. virtual
government control OF the mechanical
operation OF the railroads OF the
country.
Preliminary Steps Taken.
Preliminary steps in connection
with putting into effect the tremcn-
dous control OF railroad facilities
vested in the Interstate Commerce
commission by the Cummins- -Esch
law were taken rat conference be-
tween Attorney General Daugherty
and Chairman McChord and Commits
sioner Aitchison of the Interstate
Commerce commission. The final
steps are awaiting further conferences.
This governmental action is the
result of recognition of what is be-
lieved by legal officers OF the govern
ment to be conspiracy between rail
and mine strikers to prevent the
transportation of coal being produced
in the nonunion fields.
Proof Lacking.
Attorney General Daugherty has
unofficially declared his belief in the
existence of "coDspired or inspired"
relationship in the twin strikes. but
so lar he has been unable to obtain
sufficient proof upon which to begin
legal proceedings against the alleged
consplratorS.
Coal production. according to the
weekly report. is falling rapidly e'ea
i'll the nonunion mines. 1t has be>
come next to impossible to obtaia
empty cars at the operating mines.
and is it stated, long and inexplicable
delays have been encountered by
loaded cars through terminals on their
way to distributing points. The In
terstate Commerce commission will
endeavor 10 relieve this congestion by
much the same method employed
during the outlaw strike of 1920.

Secretary Davis Says Walk
out Could Be Settled If

Seniority Rights.
Union Leaders Silent

Moose Heart. H., July BIB,
A. P)-Following a conference here
with B. NJ. Jewell. head OF the strik-
ing railway shopmen, James J. Davis,
secretary OF labor, announced that he
believed the strike could be settled
il the roads would give the striking
shopmcn their seniority rights and
there was a rehcaring by the United
States labor board on other disputed
questions
Immediately following the confer
cnce, Secretary Davis talked to Pres
ident Harding over long distance
telephone, submitting a report OF the
information he had gathered to the
chief executive.
Secretary Davis said that the prin-
cipal obstacle to a settlement of the
strike was the seniority question.
Earlier in the day, Mr.. Jewell had
issued formal statement at Chicago
asserting that failure OF the roads to
agree to national adjustment boards
and to stop the practice Of contract
ing shop work was also hindering a
settlement.
Could Be Adjusted.
Secretary Davis said he believed
the matter of establishing national
adjustment boards could be ad-
justed," and asserted that in his
opinion the contract question docs
not stand in the way of an agree
ment"
Asked whether the matter of sepa-
rate peace negotiations between
striking shopmen and the individual
roads was discussed, Secretary Davis
hesitated for some time and then re-
piled:
Il would rather not answer that
question"
Mr.. Davis said every angle of the
situation had been discussed with
Mr.. Jewell and his coleaders. The
general complaint of the labor chiefs,
he said, was that the carriers do not
accept the decisions of the labor
board, while the employees in nearly
every instance have abided by these
decisions.
Labor Leaders Silent.
Mr.. Jewell and the other labor
chiefs attending the meeting made
no comment on the conference but
left Immediately after its conclusion
for Chicago. Among those at the
meeting were Mr.. Jewell, the inter-
national presidents of the six shop
cratic and union and Timothy Healy. |
president of the i Firemens and
Oilers union. which is also striking. |

France to Ask Reforms

Paris. July 2S.-(By A. PA
conference between David Lloyd
George. the British prime minister,
and Raymond Poincarc, the French
premier. to discuss the question OF a
moratorium for Germany has been
arranged for the first part of August.
II Is the realization in French cir
cles that the reparations question
has reached a decisive crisis.
The fact that NJ. Poincarc will be
accompanied to London by Minister
OF Finance De Lasteyric, as we'll as
several technical experts. from both
the foreign affairs and finance min
isteries, is regarded here as indicating
that the fate OF the German mora
torium is more likely to be decided
at London than Paris.
To Meet August /.
The report Of the guarantees COM
mittee is not yet ready. but M.
Mauclere Of the committee showed
M. Poincare a draft OF the report
Saturday night. 1t was after read
ing it that he wired Premier Lloyd
George he would be ready to meet
him August |. The report will be
handed to the reparations commits
sion the middle or end OF this week.
and the decision of the commission
is not expected before August 3 or H.,
when, according to the present plans,
M. Poincare will be in London.
1t was learned that the French
viewpoint now is that before long
term moratorium is granted to Ger
many supplementary reforms and ad-
guarantees should be de-
manded.
German Loan Possibility.
The effect of reforms and guaran-
ices, added to the results expected
IRON new financial control to be in
stalled in Germany by the guarantees
the French hold, would
insure the floating and placing of a
German foreign loan. Such loan,
providing important resources for the
OF the devastated regions,
would then permit of the granting to
Germany of a prolonged cash mora
torium.
Other angles of the reparations
question are to be discussed in Lon
Ion. The French are reported to
avor, first, cancellation of inter.al-
led war debts without subordinating
to a similar decision by
he United States; second, an agree
nent by which reparations payments
hould be assigned especially to re.
toring the devastated regions. and
bird, assurance that German foreign

Jury to Try Chicago
Labor Leaders Filled
Omaha Rec Leased Wire.

Chicago, July 23.-With a jury fl
nally chosen from among 1900
veniremen, who passed through the
box the state will open its case
Monday morning against Timothy
Murphy, "Frency" Nader and Con"
Shea, Daniel Mccarthy and John
Miller.
The state hopes to send all these
labor leaders to the gallows for the
murder of Policeman Terrence Ly-
ons. The five men are charged with
conspiracy to commit murder. The
contention of the state will be that
the defendants were involved in an
unlawful conspiracy which resulted
in the murder Of Lyons.
Three weeks will be required to
present only the states side OF the
case and indications are that the
trial will be consume as much time
as did the selection Of the jury. More
than 200 witnesses have been sub
poenaed.

Limerick Taken by
National Forces
in Fierce Battle
Twenty Killed and Many.
Wounded at Strand Bar.
racks - Nationals Storm
Other Strategic Buildings.
COpyriGht. 1879.

Dublin, July 23.-Hard fighting
marked the taking of Limerick by
the national forces. The irregulars
casualties are indefinite, but it is
known that 20 were killed and many
wounded at the Strand barracks
alone. The total national losses
were six killed and 20 wounded
Sixty irregulars were taken prisoner,
the others escaping.
The nationals attacked at II
Thursday morning, throwing IS
shells into the Strand barracks and
then storming them. Next the ma
tionals took St. Johns castle and
simultaneously they assaulted the
ordnance barracks where fire had
broken out.
Set Buildings Afire.
The irregulars holding other build
ings set them on fire and then re-
treated through short tunnels to con-
Meeting positions.
After the fall of Limerick about
5000 irregulars who were based on
the town moved soutHwards.
At the close of a hard but success
full week, the efforts of the Irish
troops are confined principally to
consolidating the number of impor-
tant positions won, and the contin-
ued activity of motor patrols. A
weekend lull is not unlikely before
the march southwark is resumed,
where Cork continues to be the main
objective.
Other Conquest Easier.
Military experts point out that the
of Cork would be attained
quicker and easier and with less de-
struction of property and with fewer
casualties if joint attack from
land and sea were made, as the har-
Dor offers no particular difficulties
to a landing party.
Boats have already participated
in two operations of the nationals.
One was the attack OH Inch island,
Lough Swilly, Donegal, and the
other was when a few shells were
fired from the River Shannon on the
irregular positions in Limerick.
Therefore the use of boats in the
more important operations in the
south would not be surprising.
Dublin, July "a general defeat
for the irregulars in south Ireland
is regarded now as certain in army
quarters here. In numbers and fight
ing equipment they are declared to
have proved inferior to the national
army forces, whose competently han
died artillery has been able to dis
lodge the insurgents from any posi-
ton they occupied.
Defeat of Rebels Certain.
Apparently the irregulars have made
Clonmel their headquarters after
their retreat from Limerick. and con-
flicts are considered possible there
as we'll as at Mallow and Fermoy.
Though they hold Cork city, their
force there is not believed to be a
strong one.
