NOTHING ELSE
COULD HAVE
HAPPENED
Was Statement Made BY
David Williams - He
Added: IF They'll Quit
Fussing Around Well
Beat These Fellows

New York, Aug. %. tBy the Asso
ciated Press Attempts to end tn,
rail shopnans strike by separate set
Elements with individual roads failee
to-day and conferences were broken off
Daniel Willard of the Baltimore anc
Ohio railroad, head of the committee Of
executives who Wednesday decided tt
continue negotiations with the mediat
ing brotherhoods chiefs to see if sepa-
rate settlements were possible, and
dher rail heads, prepared to leave the
city.
In announcing the breaking off of the
negotiations David Williams, head OF
the Eastern strike committee, said
nothing else could have happened. He
added
If they'll quit fussing around Wen
beat these fellows
The bSeak came after the brother
hood leaders, who right along have
maintained that the strike must end,
because the public demanded it, had
spent two hours this morning with
executives representing about 20 per
cent Of the country's mileage.
Shortly before noon the brotherhood
men left the Yale club to confer again
ct their hotel with the shop craft lead
ers indicating they would resume their
session with the executives in the aft
ernoon.
Five TO five, mediating brotherhood
chiefs and railway executives again
faced one another to-day across the
conference table in their attempt to
test the possibility of settling the
shopmen's strike by effecting agree
ments with individual roads.
This latest path to peace entered up
on after the association Of railway
executives had on Wednesday sharply
rejected any compromise which in
volved restoration of full seniority
rights, apparently is not devoid of
thorns. This was discovered after the
conferees had advanced only few
steps. What occurs in the conference
chamber remains shrouded in more or
less secrecy. 1t was acknowledged,
however. that the question Of whether
the strikers should receive back their
seniority. the stumbling block from
the very first, still was confronting the |
opposing factions.

NEGOTIATIONS
/ AREtY AN END
Reparations Commission
and Germans Fail to Agree
on Compromise
ON THE QUESTION
OF PREPARATIONS
Germans Make New Pro-.
posals AS Delegates
Leave Berlin

| Paris, Aug 25 (Hy the Associated
Press The negotiations in Berlin be-
tween the Teparations commission and
German government officials came to
an end at noon to-day without having
produced any compromise on the Ger
man reparation question, acceptable TO
both the British and French represen-
tatives, according to latest advices
reaching French official circles this aft
ernoon
Sir John Bradbury and Eugene Mau-
clere, British and French representa-
tives, respectively, of the reparations
commission, were expected to leave
Berlin at 2 o'clock this afternoon, ar
irving in Paris tomorrow afternoon.
The French foreign Office learned nn-
officially this morning that new pro-
posals were submitted at the forenoon
session by the Germans but they were
not considered important enough to
warrant the missions remaining in
Berlin longer. The reparations commits
sion's representatives, therefore, will
bring the proposals To Paris, consider
ing them en- route.
1t is now believed the reparations
commission win hold special meeting
Monday or Tuesday at which it will
try finally to dispose of the question of
granting moratorium to Germany.
If the last minute guarantees offered
by the Germans prove to be as unsatis-
factory as previous proposals, the Brit
ish are expected to try to postpone ac-
tion by the commission in order to de-
lay the carrying out of penalties indie
pendently by France, with the hope
that some way out of the difficulty
may be found.
The French government will take no
action until after the reparations COM
mission has made its decision, ii was
said in official quarters to day.

WILL DISCONTINUE
PRIORITY SYSTEMS
Most Dangerous Stage in the Coal
Strike Has Passed, Says Secre-
tary Hoover.

tdky AOVFCl.
Washington, Aug. 25.--1mprovemeni
in coal production will enable discon
tinuance by next Monday of the spe'
cific priority system under which the
federal fuel distribution committee has
been moving coal between designated
places. II was announced yesterday
by Secretary Hoover.
A certain percentage of Great Lakes
shipments, Mr.. Hoover declared, will
still continue to move under the spe
cial priority orders. but the needs of
New England will be cared for under
the regular priority classifications
which will be continued at least for the
present.
Mr.. Hoover said, "The most danger
ons stage" in the coal strike situation
had passed except for anthracite, for
which he declared there would prob
ably have to be considerable substi-
tuition by hard coal users next win
ter.
Mr.. Hoover expressed the belief that
production during the pres
ent week would be ~ least six mil
lion tons as compared with between
8 100000 and four million tons week
the previous four weeks; that next
week production should reach seven
million tons and that within week or
ten days the daily production should
reach about s,500,000 tons weekly.
Mr. Hoover declared, however, the
country obviously was faced with
shortage of usable freight cars. which
shortage may be expected to become
acute in about a month, although
it was believed great deal
IF coal could be moved.

BELFAST MAKES CONCESSION.
Calls OF Mare Horse Races on Day of
Collins Funeral.

Belfast, Aug 25.--A remarkable
concession to the nationalist sentiment
Is seen in the decision Of the Down
Royal corporation, promoters Of the
Maze horse races. the most important
meeting in Ulster, TO cancel the Sec
ond days program next Monday in
consequence Of the funeral on that
date of Michael Collins.
Added significance is given by the
fact that the promoters had previous
ly declined to postpone Saturdays !
events, although an Orange demon
stration, for which twelve special
trains are TO be run from Belfast, will
be held only four miles from the race
track on the same day.
