 He also set studiously to work to learn his lessons honestly, and to give a full days school work. He had suddenly grown to enjoy his les sons.
 The Result
 The boy, later in life, on a reform ticket, went into the governors $ chair of his state. He will go down In history as one of that states most fearless men, a statesman of ideals and one who was responsible for put ting across numerous magnificent laws for the happiness of the cir- inn inenry and his o0mmunity's up0uiid-

Presidents R. H. Finley of the Chicago and Northwestern, and W. G. Bierd of the Chicago and Alton visited the offices of the labor board today for conferences with Ben Hooper, chairman of the board, while W. L. McMinemen. labor member of the board met several high operating executives.
 While none of those present would make any statement regarding the subjects discussed. it was intimated scme basis for agreement on the five demands presented by E. M Jewell, leader of the shopmen to MT Hooper last week, was sought as preliminary to the calling of a new hearing of all parties before the labor board.
 The five demands Of the shopmen were announced as the restoration of senlority rights to strikers, es- tablsnment o1 national adjuste ment board, so that the men may ob- tam quicker action on grievances than Is posss ble through the labor board, the a3olishment ot outside calltracting by the roads, the restora- ton of certain rules anu worhing agreements and return to -he scale o1 wages in effect betore the cut or dered by the labor board TOT July 1 became effective simultaneously with lhe strike.
 An indication of the result of the negotiations on these issues was seen in the statement saturday night of k A. Hennlng. general chairman Sh n the northwest, that only the refusal or the eastern roads tc relnstate strik- ing workers with their seniority rights. was preventing a settlement as far as the roads of the north west were concerned
 Hopes of an early peace also were based on the attitude of E. F. ,;rable, president of the Maintenance of Way employees, who arrived in Chicago from his headquarters in Dy- troit tonight for conference with members of the labor board to get support to prevent carriers from te- curing maintenance men to do strikers work. While some thousands of the maintenance men were re- l.orted fl om various sections of the country mostly New York, as hav- ing struck. Mir Grable asserted such walkouts were unauthorized and that no strike orders would be issued at least until after a meeting Of the grand lodge of his organization in Detroit Thursday when he will report the result of his negotiations with members of the labor board
 Some additions to the ranks of the strikers also were reported among the clerks. freight handlers, firemen and oilers. but railway executives de- elared that the defections had been more than made up by the number of shopmen who returned to work on the last day allowed them on many roads to protect their seniority rights.
 Meanwhile strike disturbances com tinued to spread, the forces of fed eral marshals protecting the move ment of the mails and interstate traffic was increased and more fed eral injunctions against picketins were granted.

HARD|NG'S POLICY ON STRIKE |SNOT
 YET FORMULATED
Government Heads Deliber' ately Suspend Discussion of Rail WaIkout to Take
 Up Coal Tie-up
By Associated Press

Washington, July 17.-Occupied almost exclusively with endeavors to bring about resumption of work in the coal fields, government off cials marked time today in the rail road strike situation.
 Indications were given that the suspension of activity with respect to the railroad troubles was deliber- ate and for the purpose of giving attention to the coal strike.
 Emphasis was placed by most of fieials, however, on the statement that events within the next few days will govern the governments policy. Officials in the case of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad. which presents unusual features in that 1t is in the hands of a federal receiver, still tonight awaited the final re- port of the army inspector general who went to Denison, Tex, where disorders have occurred. to make an investigation. The inspector gener- al, Colonel Lincoln, in a telegram to the war department late today, said Governor keff of Texas had an- nounced there would be a few hours delay before he announced what steps would be taken by the state to preserve order
 Is Lincoln's Second Report
 The message was Colonel Lincoln's s second report sface he was sent to Denison after the federal receiver in charge of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad had requested federal troops to guard the companys property there.
 The first reports was from Deni- son and said quiet prevailed there when the officer arrived there be- cause no attempt was being made to operate the railway shops and few trains were being moved. The federal officer is understood to have indicated the belief that violence would result if the shops were opened and trains moved with non union labor.
 Secretary Weeks would not indi- cate the course the gov ern mcnt would pursue if Governor Neffs re- ply was not regarded here as satis- factory It was evident that the war secretary expected the whole ques- ton of federal intervention in the railroad situation to be reviewed by the cabinet at it's regular meeting tomorrow and that he did not an ticipate that instructions would come from the White House to send troops to Denison before that time regardless of the governors atti- tude.
 Some reports of interference with movement of the mails continued to come In during the day but the situ- ation In that respect with the ex- ception of an isolated case in Iowa where striking coal miners and their sympathizers prevented the clearing of a wreck on the Burlington tracks showed an improvement.

FATE OF MEETING !. RESTS ON ANSWER
 OF SOVIET RUSSIA
Other Delegates Hope for Fa- vorabIe Change in BoIshevik Propositions Concerning
 Confiscated Property
By Associated Press

The Hague, July 17.-Soviet Rus sia will be given an opportunity to outline any new proposals for a settlement of the issues which have been before the conference; in other words The Hague conference has resuscitated. though not in whole hearted swing fashion indicative of general optimism.
 Everything depends on whether the Russian delegation has concrete propositions concerning confiscated property showing a distinct change from the previous attitude of the delegation on this problem which the European delegations deemed utterly unacceptable.
 M. Litvinoff's letter to the nom Russian experts today asking for a renewal of the negotiations was dis cussed this afternoon by the Euro pean representatives. This meeting was far from harmonious. The French opposed any renewal of the four parleys insisting vigorously that M. Litvinoffs communication was only reiteration of the old Bol- shevik position. Other delegates voiced the same view. One of them said: T have read Litvinoffs letter many times; yes backward and for ward and it has nothing new"

 The Russian sub -commi ssions to- day adopted their respective reports explaining why the conference had failed. If the Russians present new proposals the three reports will be pigeonholed. Many of the delegates prefer an arrangement with the Rus sians providing for some kind of restitution of confiscated property rather than a promise of compen- sation. because they frankly believe the Russians will never pay compen- sation.
 Some of the delegates cited the earnest phraseology of M. Litvinoffs letter as indicating a sincere desire to attain general accord f,r the
