Aver Men Left Work When
Inundated by Rail Work.
erS on Strike.

Roseville, Calf. July This quiet
California town. whose principal point
of contact with the rest of the country
Is through its function as an icing
point for a large share Of the Cali
fornia fruit sent east came into the
limelight Friday as result Of re-
quest that state troops be sent here
to maintain order. The request was a
result of a strike of workers at the
icing plant of the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press company, which, officials said,
was due to intimidation of the men on
the part of striking railroad shop en-
ployes who are on strike.
Two requests for action were made
to the governor.
Sheriff Gumm Of Placer county, in
which Roseville is located. asked that
troops be sent here. The governor
answered that the sheriff first must
exhaust his own resources. Later the
sheriff said the situation had improved
and that he would take no additional
steps 10 prevent possible disorder ut
present.
Later, representatives of three large
fruit shipping companies appealed to
the governor. asking that he intervene
ito save the fruit" The executive
replied that the situation was in the
hands of the county authorities. The
shippers asserted the safety of sew
eral million dollars worth of fruit now
ready for picking was dependent on
the operation of the icing plant here.
Fruit express company officials said
no fruit had been damaged as yet as
a result of the strike and intimated
that they planned resumption of opera
tons at the icing plant regardless Of
the strike.

T Of COAL MEN
AWAIT HARDING
No Indications That
Either Side Has Come
to New Conclusions.
Secretary Davis Says
a Little Progress
Was Made on Friday.

Washington, July Anthracite
mine operators and officials of the
miners union who have been meeting
at President Harding's call to consider
means Of settling the present strike
adjourned their sessions Friday until
Monday without definite results being
accomplished. Secretary Davis, who
sat in Fridays meeting as the repre-
sentative OF the government, said, how
ever, that little" progress had been
made.
The anthracite adjournment left this
section Of the general conference to
settle the coal industry's troubles in a
position similar to that of the bitumin-
GUS conferees. Both sections now are
awaiting gathering Monday at which
President Harding may present some
views in behalf of the government.
The anthracite employers, prior to
the session with the miners union Of
ficials Friday, met with Secretary
Davis, but the difference which occas-
ioned suspension of work in the an
thracite mines, when operators asked
reduction of wage rates and rendered
arbitration to determine between that
and the unions principal demand for a
of 1020-21 scales, still re-
mained.
There were no indications that the
attitudes of participants in the nego-
:latlons had changed.

HAGUE NEARS SPLIT

r PROPERTY TALKED
Russia's Proposals Fail to
Take With Gathering
of Listeners.

The Hague. July 7.-CBy The Asso-
ciated Press) The Hague conference
following the dramatic pathway of Ge-
noa's famed conclave. came virtually
near a rupture Friday, the issue on
which the conference threatened to
split being the treatment of confiscated
property in Russia.
What Russia proposed to do in the
way of restitution, as explained off
ciaIy by Maxim Litvinoff, the Russian
spokesman. fell like cold shower on
the expectant delegates. Str Philip
Lloyd -Graame, the British delegation
member. arose and declared it was per-
fectly absurd to continue the discus
sions unless more satisfactory assur-
ances we're Forthcoming Only NJ.
Krassin-'Krassin the conciliator." as
he is beginning to be called-saved the
day by suggesting mildly that contro-
yersial matters be left aside for the
moment and real effort be made to
find a common ground based upon mu-
tual advantage.
The difficulty started at the after
noon session of the conference, when
NJ Litvinoff read q long list of oil and
other concessions which Russia was
ready to give to foreigners. NJ Cat
tier. Belgium, suggested it would be
nice" if NJ. Litvinoff would explain
which Of the properties listed were
under foreign ownership previous to
their confiscation. and what foreign
properties were excluded from the list
Nj. Ltvinoff replied that he could not
say whether the properties belonged
previously to foreigners or Russians.
It was difficult for Russia to identify
foreign enterprises; all that could be
done was to publish the list and let the
foreign owners identify their property
if they could.

OF. GERMANY
THREATENED
Commerce Department
of u. S. Advised of
Situation at Berlin.
Stringent Measures Put
Into Force to Protect
Regime Now in Power.

Washington, July THE fall Of the
German government is threatened and
stringent measures have been enacted
for the protection of the republican re-
gime, the commerce department was
advised Friday, in q cablegram from
Commercial Attache Herring at Ber-
lin.
The political crisis resulting from
the assassination of Foreign Minister
Rathenau, Mr.. Herring reported, has
aggravated the period of currency de-
preston inaugurated by the failure OF
the foreign loan negotiations, and the
feeling now is general that Germany
faces grave political complications with
the fall in exchange, which dropped to
the lowest level in history Friday.
"The consideration by the reichstag
of important legislation he said, in
GLIDING the forced loan bill and grain
subsidy measures. was interrupted by
the Rathenau incident and by the con-
seauent consideration and enactment of
stringent measures for protecting the
republican regime. These measures
provide the death penalty or life i'm
prisonment for conspiracy against the
republic. :.
Bavaria, where the antl-repuDncdn
feeling is believed to be most prevalent,
refuses enforcement of these protec-
tive measures, alleging that no neces-
sites for them exist.
Intense party feeling prevails in
Germany, being manifested in numer-
Gus assemblages under police super
vision. All anti-republican agitation is
being suppressed. A strike among Ber-
lin printers has resulted in the sus-
pension of nearly all newspapers
