By AssocIated Press

Columbus, Ohio. July 6.-President Harding, in an address here tonight, made a vigorous appeal for harmony in the ranks of the republican party. Too many who profess to be republi- cans, he declared, are attempting to attract attention to themselves" in- stead of working for the good of their party and country.
 The President said he did not care to be a "soloist," but added that someone had. to act as director, otherwise there would be no har- mony He spoke at an open air banquet which celebrated the fir- tieth anniversary of the Columbus Republican Glee club, of which bc tonight was made a life member
 Prefacing his remarks with the ob- servation that a glee club never would sing in harmony if the tenors insisted on receiving special atten. ton because they were tenors, and the basses did likewise, MT, Harding declared it would be impossible to preserve party harmony If individ- uals and groups in the party took the same slant on things

 Meanwhile railway circles ex- pressed strong hope of quick settlement of the shopmens strike which began July l. B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employees de- parmnt of the American Federation of Labor, who Is directing the shop men were willing to consider settlement proposition submitted by any authoritative body.
 Situation Improves
 The situation is improving so far as the strike is concerned, Jewell said, asserting that what few men that did remain at work last Satur- day and Monday Joined the walkout Wednesday,"
 Mir. Jewell said he had received a telegram from J. F. Valentine of Cin- clnnati, head of the International Moulders' union authorizing walk out of 2.500 moulders employed on railroads. He also exhibited tele- grams from heads of ladies auxihar- ies of shopmen's organizations in which 1t was stated that the women were doing picket duty.
 MT. Jewell did not reply today to the letter of Chairman Ben w. Hoop CT of the labor board which was con sidered conciliatory in some guar ters, but said that he expected to make reply after studying 1t close ly. Mir Hooper in his letter advised the shopmen co-operated with the la bor board.
 While maintaining that the strike was 9practically 100 per cent" MT. Jewell admitted that he had no actual figures.
 He explained that 1t was almost to obtain and compile them before another week.

 Trapped in Tunnel

 Three probably wlll die. Police officials said 1t was miracle many were not trampled to death.
 A worse spot for such an accident scarcely could have been picked than Lexington avenue at Sixteenth street, Where the train came to its sudden halt There is no express station between Grand Central terminal. at Forty-second street and Eighty sixth street. The express tracks are three tiers down, beneath the local tube of the l. R. T. and the cross- town tunnel of he Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. and the only exits are narrow little spiral stairways at Fdfty-third. Fifty-eighth and Sixty third streets. These were damned with fugitives from the scene below.
 Fire Extinguishcr Blamed
 A little fire eXtlnguisher, whose contents were turned on a tiny blaze in motorman's control box, was held responsible by the police for the clouds of poisonous fumes and smoke sent swirling through the tunnel.
 More than three scores of those overcome required hospital treat ment, while the number who were treated on the spot was placed at 100

Condor proprietor of the ho5telry stated that Darcy came into the ho- tel last night about 10s30 o'clock, and announced that he was going to his room but would return to his companion, Bullard, in a few minutes
 First Aid Rendered
 After q considerable period had elapsed, Bullard decided to investi- gate the cause of his friends delay and on entering his room, found him lying across the bed, in an uncon- scious state. They immediately noti- fled the ambulance then and rem dered such first aid as was available in the room but to no avail.
 H. B. Howard stated that he had been acquainted with the deceased for a period of about two years. hay- ing met him in Houston, Texas, where both were employed in a real estate office.

 Bullard stated that he has, known lD'Arcy for only two weeks, ana knew very little of his past life. He did say, however, that the deceased
