James River
Is Greatest
Obstacle


culties under which this COM
pany has had to operate-and
to realize the need for i'm
provements in the James
River we heartily recon-
mend a trip down the James.
Richmond is only 100 miles
from Newport News by way
OF the river, but during those
100 miles there are % turns
in the James many of them
sharp some even $50 The
channel is narrow. When the
tide is low there is barely suffl-
cient water for navigation.
People used to ford the
Clyde River, in the United
Kingdom, but now it is great
waterway. The Hoogli River.
in Calcutta, emptying into the
Bay of Bengal, was once
small stream-now 1t is
splendid. navigable body Of
water. The same thing can be
done with the James if people
of Richmond and Virginia
realize that it must be done.
The War Department has
on hand a quarter of a million
dollars which they will use
shortly in making some i'm
provement of the James River.
1t takes little imagination
to realize the great benefits
that Richmond could reap if
the James could be improved
TO the point where the Lee
viathan drawing 40 feet Of
water-could come to Rich
mond's shore. Let every Vir-
ginian and every Richmonder
use their influence to bring
this about.
This advertisement rs
printed to call attention tothe
Importance of water transport
tation in developing the COM
munity, and to impress on our
people the necessity Of keep
ing our waterway open to pro-
mote commercial growth.

HARD COAL
 COMPROMISE
 IS IN SIGHT

Philadelphia, Aug. 1S-With
 the preliminaries and formalities
 out of the way, anthracite min-
 CTS and operators settled down
 today to the serious task of
 whipping into shape tine tentative
 contract for the ending of the
 twenty weeks coal strike.
 Prospects were bright for peace and settlement of the hard coal differences may be worked out before nightfan. In the camp of each side it is freely admitted that never have anthracite employers and men entered into ne- gotiations in more friendly spirit.
 Peace is to be made on a give and-take basis. Leaders of the men and chiefs of the operators went to work early today in moulding pro- grams for presentation at this after noon's conference.
 Tn the feeling out'' session yester- day there was no concrete plan offer ed for settlement. Discussions were general, but after three hours of de- liberation an adjournment came with both sides agreed that the 1920 wage scale is to be the starting point of the par1eys to follow.
 Length of the contract becomes one 'ot the hard problems to work out to- day. Miners insist on a two year agreement dating from April 1 last. They will readily accept the old scale for three years or for four, if they can get it.
 Operators oppose any proposition that would bring only temporary peace.

Young told a Times representative that as he neared Orlando he saw him make a move for his back pocket, and he thought Orlando was going to "get him. so he got him first. Young said that in the excitement he could not remember how many shots he fired, but according to the<New York police, three bullets were used, two of which entered Orlando's body and the third shattered a large plate glass window nearby. Orlando died soon after and when the police searched him no gun was found in his possess sion.
 Asked why he had given himself up, Young said that while he was be- hind prison doors he was safe, but he was sure that if he returned to the vicinity of the shooting some of Orlando's friends would get him.

Brotherhood
 In Session Overnight
Railway Brotherhoods
 Stand Ready to Move for Speedy Adjustment

New York, Aug. 1S-Chiefs of
 the five train service brother
 hoods and the committee repre-
 senting the Association of Rail-
 way Executives went back into
 conference here today, determin-
 ed, if possible, to find a means by
 which the railway shOpmen's
 strike, in effect since July 1, can
 be brought to an end.
 None of those taking. part in the conference would make any state- ments for publication. They all had a hopeful air, however, and made 1t clear that they believed the confer ence would be the means of the strikers going back to their posts.
 The brotherhood chiefs conferred long into the night with the repre- sentatives of the other railway unions. who are remaining here in order to keep in close touch with develop ments. It was learned that the brotherhood leaders reported that nothing was accomplished at yesrer- days session with the railway execu- tives but that the leaders are still make some concessions.
 The question of seniority is again the stum bling block. It is known that the unions are holding out strongly strikers seniority over the men em- ployed as strikebreakers. It is under stood that they have agreed that the men who remained at work shall come first. The railway executives re said to be determined that the f. rikers must come back without any agreement as to seniority. The ques- ion of whether the roads absorbed all of the strikers and also keep the men they have employed since the ! trike was called also has come up. Executives of some roads have de- Jared that the places of many of the strikers have been filled and they annot take them back at this time.
 \The Brotherhood chiefs held an- other brief meeting with the repre- entatives of the other unions at the Hotel Woodstock early today. before going into session with the executives. It is understood that the unions are all pledged to abide by any agree ment the Brotherhood leaders make.

the present restriction, which prohibits
members of clubs which have taken part
in the classic from playing any more
baseball for the rest OF the year, be re-
tained as it stands.
The league feels that the rule Is a
fine thing for the game and for the
players, and it has instructed me to
notify Judge Lands of its decision"
said Heydler. There We're excellent
reasons for drawing UP that restriction
and they still exist. We want it kept on
the books without any alteration what
soever."

more than $4,000 out of world series

League is not worried by so big a
