Says Result Failure.

New York, Aug. 25.-The Dow
Jones Financial News Agency an
nounced this afternoon that the con-
ference between railroad executives
and the big four brotherhood chiefs
had ended in disagreement. De-
mand of the brotherhoods that the
striking shopmen be given full
seniority rights caused the dead
lock, according to the agency.
The seniority question which has
caused a break in all previous peace
efforts was again the big issues be
tween the minority group and the
brotherhood chiefs.
Jewell, head of the strikers, re
iterated that even though the execu
tives of the twenty roads came tc
the terms of the strikers, it would
not necessarily mean an end Of the
strike on their roads. He pointed
out that he was against any settle
ment except on a national basis.
In case an agreement is reached
Jewell said, it would be necessary
to put the matter Of acceptance III
to the policy committee of the rail
road department Of the American
Federation Of Labor.

any hotter than Greer county has
been the past few weeks, | am go

local citizen said today as the tenn

Mangum has been the hottest
place in the southwest for the past
three weeks with daily maximum
temperatures ranging from 108 to
113. The past two days were the
hottest with 113 degrees in the

heat spell, coming as the climax
to a several months drouth, is the
hottest and of longest duration than
ever before in southwestern Okla
homa No one has been heard to
say they would like to be in a
warmer climate.
Nights have been so hot that most
of the population have taken to
outdoor sleeping, with sleep almost
impossible. This is a new condition
as in past years a cool night would
follow a hot day.

Now York, Aug. 25.-Prospects OF

and executives of twenty carriers

"The committee of mediators

in hope of bringing about an early

sued by Daniel willard. president
OF the Baltimore and Ohio, spokes-
man for the executives.
"The railroad executives who
took part in the conference sincere

of the striking employees although
definitely assured the substance of

executives were unwilling and un-
able to accept

fairer basis of compromise than the

An unconfirmed report that the

Dublin. Aug. Pa great man
hunt Is on today for Eamonn De.
Valera. the brains of the revolution
in Ireland
While the body of Michael Col
Inns, killed in rebel ambush. lay
in state at City Hall, hundreds OF
armed men searched. for DeValera
who has been in hiding since the
collapse of the last insurgent up
rising here
Collins was the chief advocate OF
the policy of handling the rebels
with gloves. Now that he is dead
there is strong agitation for a
merciless campaign against the
rebels. One of the first steps in
crushing them is to be the capture
of DeValera.
Grave fears that the Irish insur.
gents would break forth in a re-
newal of their rebellion Immediately
after the funeral of Michael Collins
unless the Free State strikes first,
were expressed by government Of
ficials here today.
VIM. T. Cosgrove, who temporar'
lily took over the duties as provision
al head Of the Free State govern
ment, made preparations to defend
the city and outposts over the coun'
try against rebel attacks
Feeling between the insurgents
and loyalsts was bitter and it was
believed that respect for Collins
during the period of mourning was
the only thing that prevented serious
clashes.
Messages Of coincidence from all
over the world continued to pour
into Dublin. Thousands filed by the
bier of the slain leader.
Collins funeral is to be held
Sunday.

moned to meet September Z tc

Washington, Aug. 25.-The admin
istration is gravely concerned over
the problem of supplying the coun-
try's fuel needs this winter.
Privately, administration officials
today admitted that a critical stu
alton confronts the country.
To an already difficult situation.
caused by the coal strike and the
exhaustion OF reserves during the
suspension of coal production. is
added the deadlock in the railroad
strike. Even If the rail strike were
settled Today the country could not
avoid rationing of coal this winter,
IL was admitted.
The problem is not coal produc-
tion, but how much coal the carriers
can haul, Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover stated.
Bills Confront Senate.
A mass of far-reaehing bills and
resolutions aiming at government
Intervention to effect prompt set
tlement OF the rail and anthracite
coal strikes, confronted the senate
today
Foremost was the Walsh resolu-
tion authorizing the president to
take over the mines Immediately.
How seriously the administration
regards the situation Is expressed
in the following paragraph in a let
ter to President Harding from
Hoover on measures for curbing
profiteering and better coal distribu-
tion during the emergency
1--WE are deeply impressed with
the fact that due to the almost total
exhaustion of coal stocks and the
inevitable and growing shortage in
transportation that the difficulties
of the country will be very great
even with the resumption of coal
production and unless there is legis-
lation enacted that will curb prof
iteering that will give control of
distribution there will be great suf-
fering and difficulties during the
period Of re-adjustment."
Transportation Is Problem.
Now that peace has been restored
in many bituminous fields Of the
country, a production of from 9,000,'
600 to 100000 tons weekly is ex-
pected for the balance of the coal
season, ending April /, 1928. But
