that he intended to commit suicide
but no attention was paid to his Ut

clothes line under his coat, he took
his son George and went into the
woods. and from there went to the
cemetery. Pulling the rope from
beneath his coat he compelled his
son to climb the tree and fasten one
end of the line to a stout limb. He
then partly climbed the tree. fast

leaped out into space. as his son
looked on.

home and told his mother. She
informed farrell and Miller who
were working on an automobile at
their home nearby. Miller and
farrell started on the run for the
cemetery. and from Lancaster ave-

dangling on the rope, about 200
yards from the street Vaulting the
iron fence, the two men dashed to
Conowsy. As Miller lifted the body
and worked loose the moose from
about Conoways neck, farrell clam

end OF the rope.

1t is our understanding that the
representatives of the employees
upon seeking a rehearing OF the
controverted decisions concerning

will be afforded a prompt re-

Dor Board We assume also that
the practically unanimous action

has been accepted. II would cer-

PressT-whether the administration
its peace overtures having failed
shall pursue a hands or policy 20
long as the public Interest Is not
seriously menaced and permit the
giant twin strikes TO he fought out
. 10 a finish. was discussed today by
. President Harding with members OF
his cabinet.
Harding now has no immediate
plans for settling either the railroad
or coal strikes and the test OF
strength may be allowed to go on
for a while longer.
The railroad executives want TO
fight their own battle, believing they
can crush the shop crafts unions
and bring the men to terms. The
bulk OF the coal operators feel the
same way and there is disposition
,among some OF Hsrding's advisers
70 let the disputants fight it out.
Other advisers, however. fear the
consequences OF such policy for the
following reasons:
That the country Is already suf-
fering and every day that the strikes
continue, conditions will become just
that much worse.
That il the shop crafts unions
show. signs OF giving away under
pressure from the executives, the big
railroad brotherhoods and perhaps
other sections OF organized labor viii
call a sympathetic strike, paralyzing
the entire country.
Color was given this latter view
by a labor official high in the counr
ellis OF the American Federation OF
Labor, who stated with earnest em-
phasis:
"The shop crafts will not lose their
fight you can make up your mind to
that. Right now there are things
in the air that would raise the hair
right of your head-if you knew
about them.
The Federal government, one high
official said, is not at the point
where Il lacks power TO force an end
ing of the strike. unless it resorts TO
the extreme step OF selling the mines
and railroads. move that is con
only as n last resort.
Roads which are unable 10 move
coal offered them might be seized IN
the near future, another official said.
The President today had before
him the rejection OF his plan for set
tling the rail strike by the executive
ana its acceptance by the striking
shopmen.
He is expected to make reply TO
both which will be IN the nature Of /
an open letter to the country fixing
the responsibility for the continued I
menacing situation.

posed to peaceful settlement have the
