LOOK FOR HARDING

Opposing Factions Apparent.
ly the Same

Washington, July 7-Anthracite
mine operators and officials of the
miners union who have been meet
ing at President Harding's call to
consider means of settling the pres
ent strike, adjourned their sessions
today until Monday, without definite
results being accomplished. Secre-
tary Davis, who sat in today's meet
ing as the representative of the gov
eminent, said however. that "a little"
progress has been made.
The anthracite adjournment left
this section of the general COME renee
to settle the coal industry's labor
troubles in a position similar to that
of the bituminous conferees. Both
sections are now awaiting a Monday
gathering at which President Hard
ing may present some views in be-
half of the government.
The anthracite employers, prior to
the session with the miners union
officials today met with Secretary
Davis, but the difference which oc-
casioned suspension of work in the
anthracite mines, when operators
asked reduction of wage rates and
rendered arbitration to determine
between that and the Unions prin-
cipal demand for a maintenance of
192O-21 scales still remained.
There were no indications that the
attitudes of participants in the ne
gotiations had changed. S. D. Warri-
ner, headed the delegation OF opera
tors present. while Philip Murray,
vice president of the United Mine
Workers was chief spokesman for
the union.

London, July 7.-(By A. P)-
Americans are being secretly murder
ed by the Turks in Asia Minor and
reports then circulated that they died
of typhus and other diseases, accord
ing to j. Herbert Knapp, civil en-
gineer of Los Angeles, who arrived
in London today from CONSTANT
nople after three years in the Turkish
interior Mr. Knapp went TO Turkey
principally to investigate the death
at Diarbekir of his brother, the late
George P. Knapp, who the Turks re-
ported had died suddenly of typhus.
He declares that his own investisa-
ton, supported by affidavits on file
with the American Consul at Bagdad
convinces him that his brother was
executed by shooting.
1.-THE Turks hated my brother"
said Mr.. Knapp, because he knew
too much about the massacre of
Christians which was then IN pro-
gress. 1t was generally reported that
he had died from poisoning after
drinking a cup of Turkish coffee
handed to him by promino-t Turk
ish official, but l am confident from
testimony given by those who lived
near the scene of his death, that he
was deliberately murdered.
Il believe also that Miss Annie
Allen of Auburndale, Mass. Miss
Charlotte Ely, of Elmira. n. Y. and
other Americans who died in Turkey
recently met their deaths at the
hands of the Turks, although in each
case it was made to appear that
death was due to natural causes

IN MASSACHUSETTS

in Same Class as Republican
Leader-His Hope in People

Boston, July fisherman L. Whip
pie Of Boston announced tonight that
he was a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for United States
senator. ito contest the reelection OF
Senator Lodge"
II have no illusions as to the con-
test upon which we are entering"
Mr.. Whipple's statement addressed
to my fellow democrats declared.
Senator Lodge represents in the sem
ate the power of organized money in
terests. They will fight to the last
ditch to retain him. We can win
against such odds only, if and be-
cause we are fighting for right"
In reference to William A. Gas
ton, already in the field for the
democratic nomination, Mr.. Whipple
said:
Can we expect that victory will
come to us if all that we offer is the
same thing under a different guise,
OF the old master under new name?
What would it amount to to ask the
people to replace Senator Lodge by
one whose instinct, training and as
sociations would lead him to think
and feel on the vital issues which eff
feet the plain people just as Senator
Lodge thinks and feels, and whose
instinct and inclination would lead
him to do and to vote regal ding those
great issues just as Senator Lodge
has done and voted?"
Senator Lodge and other republi-
can leaders We're held resp, nsible by
MIR. Whipple in his manifesto, for
conditions of unrest prevailing in the
country today.
HE has been leading backward
and not forward" the statement said.
He has been leading against the
movement of the times and not with
it. He has been leading directly
against the great swing of TroGres-
sive principles. He has been leading
back to the old days, to the days Of
prosperity of tariff fed truss and in
dustrial serfdom, the days when
prosperity was reckoned by millions
OF profits to the capitalists and not
by the standards of living and well
being of the masses.
The people have refused to be led
back. They insist upon going for
ward. Hence the revolt, the confu-
sion, the unrest, the bitterness. the
resentment, the crying sense Of in
justice. Hence the defeat of the Re-
publican leaders that seems to puzzle
them So"

ANOTHER SLUMP
IN GERMAN MARKS

London, July 7.-(By A. P)-
Decentralization prevailed in the ex-
change market here today in con-
sequence of a slump in the value of
the mark, which touched 2400 to the
pound sterling, or about 9 IL for a
penny. Selling has been accompan-
led by various rumors from Berlin,
but the principal cause of the de-
probation, according to exchange eX-
perts, is the political uncertainty pre-
vailing in Germany following the as
sassination of Foreign Minister
Rathenau. the demonstrations pro-
ceeding in various parts of the coun-
try against Monarchists and the ever
pressing burden of reparations.
The effect of the depreciation of the
mark and of conditions in Germany
was also reflected in French ex-
change on London, which touched
$3.50 being the worst record for this
year, while Belgian and italian ex-
changes also suffered, although to a
smaller extent. Closing rates on ali
exchanges were we'll above the lowest
point for the day.

shopmen ended tonight with sporadic
outbreaks of violence reported in
country, troops held in readiness to
Quell trouble in Illinois and soldiers
officials, railroad executives and the
United States Railroad Labor Board
standing firm in the position each as
sumed when the walkout started July
The attitude of the federated shop
crafts was indicated tonight when
b. Nj. Jewell, head of the Railroad
Employees department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor issued a
statement disclaiming any further
responsibility for continuation of the
strike and holding the railroads and
the labor board to blame for the
length of time the walkout lasts.
Those who complain because the
railway shop strike has not been
settled should understand that the
men have been forced out much
against their WILL" his statement
said
The strike has been in progress
one week. Notwithstanding the fact
that we have by every means avail
able to us made it known that a
conference was desired with any res
ponsible person authorized to neso-
tiate a settlement or that any pro-
posal by any person properly au-
thorized would be carefully consider
ed. no move has been made by other
parties to bring about a settlement.
THE striking employees are not
to be driven back. They are asking
only justice and will not willingly
submit to less"
Chairman Ben W. Hooper of the
Labor Board, issued an individual
statement in which he asserted that
the only feasible way" for the shop
crafts organization to end the strike
was to follow in the footsteps of the
maintenance of way organization
whose officers this week appeared be-
fore the board and agreed to post
pone their strike pending further
negotiations.
The railroad labor board aso pass
ed resolution today declaring il to
be the opinion of the board that a
Carrier has no right to require an
employe to perform work regularly
delegated to craft that is on strike
unless the employe does this work
voluntarily. A decision in this matter
was one of the stiptIations under
which E. F. Cradle, head of the
Maintenance of Way Organization
agreed to Withhold strike orders he
having maintained that some car
riers were discharging members of
his union when they refused to do
shopmen's work.
From the headquarters of the shop
crafts organization here tonight was
issued strike bulletin l." which as
serted that the first strike of shop
men was 100 per cent perfect" The
bulletin made public letters from the
heads of the trainmen's and engine
