good, probably because London had bid

September Rail- Earnings

The final figure of $5s,428,0Oo shown
as net railway operating income for
the Glass l roads in September was
above the best previous estimates based
on the incomplete returns. After only
few Of the roads had made their
September reports to the Interstate
Commerce Commission it was, calcu-
lated that the net would not exceed
$50,000,000. This was later revised
upward to $55,000,000. An indication
Of how badly the carriers had been af-
fected by the shipments strike was af-
forded by the comparison with Septem-
ber, 1921, when net operating income
amounted to ss7,534oo0. Net for the
nine months totaled S529,413, 900, con-
trasted with $3s3,793,o 900 for the cor
responding period Of last year.

Marks and Francs Weak

The position of the foreign exchange
market was shaken yesterday by the
latest developments in the Near East
situation and sterling in company with
the principal Continentals slipped
lower. The feature Of the session, how
ever, was the weakness of the German
mark and the French franc. The for
mer went to new minimum of / 7-1S
hundredths of cent, or almost 900 to
the dollar. The decline in the mark s
value was merely continuation of the
movement already in progress and
marks outstanding, as shown by the
Reichsbank's statement, increased dur
ing the week 59.Ae3,517 600 to 469 1885,
$4,000 marks, worth at present only
about S67,000,000. The franc sank to
new low for the year Of 6.s1 cents
for cables.

| until tomorrow, so that both forces
might have separate conferences.
Mr.. Harrington told his fieutenants
that he had signed the Cleveland agree-
ment following the receipt Of scorei
of kilograms from Illinois locals urg-
ing him to. Had he not signed it, ne
said, he felt that miners in outlying
districts who want to go to work would
have returned to the mine and the
strike soon would have collapsed.
The Illinois miners walked out partly
to help the workers in the western
Pennsylvania and adjoining sections
who now have an agreement, while we
have none," he declared.
He concluded by asserting that the
Illinois miners must stand by the ma
tional organization and the terms
reached by It at Cleveland.
"The terms must be agreed to with
out arbitration by the Illinois opera
tors or the strike in Illinois must go
on" he announced.
"That's apl have to say to YOU"
The Cleveland agreement provides
for no arbitration of disputes, but
merely that the strike shall end with
the miners back at their posts under
the old wage scale and with the check
off still in force. -.
But on another point, which would
make radical change in Illinois min
ing history, the operators and diggers
appeared to be agreed. Both advo-
Gated separate state wage and work

old four state agreements.

which the miners have not received
since April /, yet would have received
had they not gone out, is known to
have induced some sound thinking
among them.
On the operators side the expense
OF maintaining the mines during q
strike period as a cost Of nearly
$8,000,000 a month without return
has awakened realization that the
strike does not pay. Add to that the
general discontens on the part Of the
public throughout the country at the
tactics employed by both sides TO the
controversy, situation has besn
brought about In anthracite mining
which Is known TO be serious.
Fear u. 8. Intervention
It was confdential1y stated that both
miners and operators were aware that
X the government policy of "hands Off

nent adjustment must be made.
The Issues dividing the conference
do not revolve as closely around the
nineteen demands made at the Shame
kin convention as they do about the
principles of arbitration, wage scale
and length of contract.
Men Against Arbitration
The miners have consistently refused
arbitration In any form, although, 1T
is declared, they realize only through
some board Of adjustment rs proposed
by the operators can any permanent
settlement Of the strike situation be
made. The likelihood Of "faet-find-
ing" commission being established in
the anthracite fields as agreed to in the
bituminous settlement is regarded as
exceedingly remote. But wage ad-
justment commission to oerate imme-
diately and previous to April of each
year of the contract period may be in
corporated into the general agreement
reached by the operators and miners.
1t is confidently asserted that the
wage scale will remain the same as 1t
was prior to the Suspension" last

a 20 per cent increase and the equally
positive demand Of the operators for q

Late last night another union head
made the following statement:
1.-THE whole matter is simple as it
now stands. Both the roads and the
unions on strike know where each
other stands. The men want to go
back to work under the terms of July
/, and the roads want them back.
"This dispute over seniority, which
never was strike issue and should
never have arisen, is the only STUN
bling block to ending the strike. Yet
it is easy of settlement, and the union
men are attempting to show the way
tc dispose of it without going into a

cent public
"Thee is no need of raising the right
to-strike problem now, or having it
passed on by the Railroad Labor Board
or any other body, or of having arbi-
tration boards pass on the established
precedent of a striker retaining his
seniority rights. The union leaders
and the railroad managers on the diff
ferent roads can settle that among
themselves"
Said William H. Johnston, president

Secretary Hoover discussed in detail
the situation confronting the country,

said, any effective organization for

Federal authority in the matter does
not extend beyond the control of coal
