WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Threat of
absolute paralysis Of the country
hangs over the railroad strike stu
alton, Administration officials admit
ted today, after study of the telegram
of the chiefs of the big railroad
&rotherhoods, asking for a conference
with President Harding.
Significance was attached to the
following paragraph of the telegram;
1--WE fear that a continuation of
these conditions will inevitably resul.
IN our members, as a matter of self
protection, being drawn into the con-
troversy and we greatly deplore such
a contingency"
Danger to Brotherhoods
These conditions include the dan
ger to the safety Of brotherhood mem
hers through deterioration Of locono-
tives, violation of safety statutes and
rules, the refusal of the railroad ex-
ecutives to accept the Harding set
tlement proposal, and the plain in
tention' of the railroads to crush the
shop crafts unions" the telegram
enumerated.
Administration officials believe the
telegram is conclusive evidence that
the big brotherhood chiefs fear they
cannot hold their 1850, 600 members
in line much longer and that set
tlement must be reached TO avoid
complete stoppage Of transportation.
Within the next few days Harding
is expected to have a White House
conference with w. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men: Warren S. Stone, grand chief
of the Brotherhood Of Railway En-
gineers; D. B. Robertson, president Of
the Brotherhood of Firemen and En-
ginemen, and L. E. Sheppard, presl-
dent OF the Order Of Railway Con-
ductors. The latter is not a party to
the request for a conference.

Following the wild shooting when
nervous sentries blazed away at cows,
shadows, mysterious noises and each
other for two hours with no casualties.
Maj. Gen. Robert Tyndau issued
strict orders regarding promiscuous
shooting.
From the sound Of the lombard
ment from one end of the line to the
other one would have thought that a
pitched battle equal to the best ef-
forts along the western front in
France four years ago was in progress.
When morning broke dozens of
wild stories were in circulation of
valiant deeds and battles against tre-
mendous odds; screams of the wound
ed had been heard in various parts of
the camp; of soldiers who had been
shot by hosts of attackers who in
turn suffered terrible casualties AS
a matter of fact all that happened was
that g guard along the railroad track
had been shot at by two men and had
returned the fire.
A few persons refused to obey or
ders to halt and ran when sentries
fired in the air. The screams of agony
from the wounded proved to be moth
ing more serious than the pathetic
mooing Of a badly scared COW sons
where in Posey Township The motor
transport train which left with Col
Robert Tappan's force for mines of
the Rowland-Power Consolidated Col
lieries Company at Linton, Clay City
and Jasonville, returned and departed
shortly afterward with those parts of
the End Battalion Of the 151st Infantry
left behind on the first trip. They
reported all quiet on the Greene
County front.
Attitude Antagonistic
There were more miners standing
around on the streets of Brazil to-
day than at any time since the ar
rival of the soldiers in the district
Wednesday. Their attitude, while not
openly hostile, was at least antagonis-
tic to the occupation, and in some
quarters it was murmured about that
Governor McCray was only looking
for a good excuse to put Brazil under
martial law.
Miners Given Passes.
An unusual number of applications
for passes through the military lines
to Seelyville were received at general
headquarters. 1t developed that in
many instances the applications were
from miners on their way to attend
a union meeting at that place. The
meeting had been called before ths ar
rival of the troops. Some Of the min
ers for whom passes were asked were
from Terre Haute and could have
reached Seelyville without passing
through the zone. officers at general
headquarters were inclined to believe
they were acting as observers. They
were given passes.
Maj. Robert Axtell suffered an at
tack of appendicitis yesterday after
noon and was rushed to Indianapolis
by motor car, where he will undergo
an operation if necessary. Major AK
