Accept Only Foodstuffs, Live

Washington, July 2S.-(By The
Associated Press. )-Three coal
carrying railroads, the Norfolk &
Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, and
Louisville & Nashville. have de-
clared embargoes over their lires
against the acceptance OF any
freight except foodstuffs, livestock
and fuel. The actions were taken
under the Interstate Commerce
Commission declaration Of an
emergency, which authorized roads
embarrassed by the shopmen's
strike to show preference and es-
tablish priority in transportation.
The object Of the embargoes is
to conserve all the equipment and
facilities for the three carriers for
the transportation Of coal. The
roads serve the non-union
bituminous coal mining areas,
south Of the Ohio river, which have
furnished most Of the country's
coal output since April l, when
the miners struck in all the union
lied fields, and officials have de-
clared that the te-up ON their lines
indicated railroad unions were
working with the miners to stop
production Of soft coal.
All three had been carrying rec
ord breaking quantities Of coal

American movies, penetrating to

Lawrence Says Operation
Of Plan Win Require

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.


Washington, D. c., July 2S.-The
basis for q settlement Of the rail-
road strike now has been arranged.
Fully Q week will be required
for the actual operation Of the plan
which requires on the one hand
ratification by meeting of the 148
railroad executives in New York
next Tuesday and further confer
ences on the other side between
President Harding and the railroad
workmen.
Negotiations will be carried on
by regions. This will take more
time than il the procedure had been
agreed upon through = national ad-
justment board. but the represen-
tatives of the strikers have not in
sisted upon that process and are
willing to take advantage Of the
machinery set up by the transpor-
tation act for regional adjustments.
This attitude on the part Of the
spokesmen of the strikers reflects
substantial progress. as it means
that one issue which threatened to
produce a deadlock is swept aside.
AS for the seniority rights, the
exact formula for handling the
problem depends largely upon the
reception which will be given at
next Tuesdays meeting to. a series
Of suggestions conveyed by Presi-
dent Harding in person to T. De
Witt Cuyler, chairman Of the asso-
citation Of the railway executives.
