Mr.. De Aubrey Gregory, one Of the
Union Times correspondents, took
supper with this writer and took in
the prayer meeting services at Mr.
lester Knights. It was the first cor
respondent that has thought enough
of us to come and see us, and to be
sure, we appreciated Mr.. Gregory's
visit.
The prayer meeting services held in
Mr.. Lester Knights home last Sat
urday night attained the desired
wishes of those present, as 'Mr
Knight confessed his sins before the
crowd present, besides praying a
beautiful prayer. Mrs. Vaughn led
the singing while Bro.;;N. P. Hendrix
led the devotional exercises, assisted
by Mr.. Gregory, Mr.. Jim Moore and
Mr.. John Moore. A good crowd at
tended and was the best all-round
prayer meeting ever held at Monarch
village, even if an effort were made
to postpone it until another date.
Your scribe certainly enjoyed the
services at Hebron church last Sun
day. Our thanks are due Mr.. Greg
ory for this enjoyable trip. 1t is hard
to forsake wife and children, Sunday
school and class attendance, but we
were guilty Of all, az above stated.
Mr.. David Eison has entered the in
surance business.
Mrs. Thomas Fowler Of Chester is
spending this weekend with her Sis

SH0PMEN ACCEPT
HARDING'S PLAN

Chicago, Ar. (By the Associated
Press) Full acceptance of the peace
proposal; submittd by President
Harding was voted tonight by leaders
of the striking railway shopmen who
however, gave their own interpreta-
tion of each Of the three suggestions.
eve accept, reluctantly, it is true
dut commit ourselves to carry cut the
terms Of settlement in utmost good
faith and in aid Of the general wei
fare" said the message of accept
ance which was sent to Pr2sidonl
Harding tonight. IF 5hese proposals
fail to bring about the results which
you desire, the responsibility Of fail
ure will not result upon operatives Of
the organized employees"
On the proposal to restore unim-
paired seniority rights to the strikers,
winch was rejected by railway execu-
"vcs at their meeting yesterday in
g lurk, ~. .rvt :: - q ,larcd:
cit would certainly be wholesale
injustice of unparalleled extent to
hundreds of thousands of experienced
men who have given four to 40 Years
service and whose value to the trans
!'ol t"-lJn industry is proportioned to
the length of their SCI, ice shoulG they
be placed in i.os;t;on Of inferoriJy to
Il limited number Of men who have
been employed as substitutes for these
experienced railroad workers."
Replying to the presidents srnges-
ton that railroad workmen agree to
abide by decisions of the railroad la
Dor board, the reply said the shop
men had always taken the position
that so long as they continue to rem
der service they should abide by the
rules and working conditions and ac-
ccpC the wages agreed upon by T .oper
nHgot.ations y or determined by 4. la

Violations of the law and rcfus | TO
abb" b. decisions OF the board have
beel exhibited only by the railway
manaGcments," the reply said, and as
serted that suspension of work under
non-acceptable conditions was rot in
violation Of the boards decisions.
On the presidents proposal that
lawsuits growing out Of the strike be
withdrawn and that railroad labor
board decisions to which exception is
taken by eithsr side may be taken .to
the board by either side, for a re-
hearing, the message said, it was the
understanding Of the union lenders
that the labor board would give a
prompt rchearing and decision of
questions in dispute and that there
would be no question as to "who arc
properly accredited spokesman cr the
vast majority of railroad employees. .

to do so. This was most important
in the prospect it held out that coal

WORD AWAITED
FROM UNCLE SAM


Press).-Some statement Of the
American government dealing with
the note Of the Earl of Balfour, act
ing British foreign secretary, concern
ing allied war debts is anxiously
awaited in reparations commission
:'rcles, where it was said tonight that
:esie British communication ON inter-
allied debts would not have the effect
Of preventing Franco British repa-
ration settlement.
Information is said to have reached
reparations headquarters from an
authoritative source that Lord Bal
four's note was "trial balloon sent
up for the purpose of placing respon-
sibility of solution of the debts at the
door of the United States"
If the balloon bursts through re-
fusal of the United States to depart
from its already established policy the
reparations experts have been inform
cd that Great Britain will proceed to
decision at the coming meeting of
the French debts commission regard
less of the American policy. Little
hope is entertained among the rep
arations experts that the United
States will change its attitude toward
the debtors, but the point is empha-
sized that Lord Balfour's exposition
clears the atmosphere of all doubt as
to who holds the key to the whole
problem. 1t is felt that the United
States is bound to make some answer
even if indefinite in character.
London, Aug. (By the Associated
Press) - The British governments
note to Great Britain's allies in the
great war, reminding them that they
owe Great Britain money and that she
has right to ask for payment, has
thrown wide open the most delicate
topic in international politics. The
discussion of the question of debts
owed to Great Britain had been
studiously avoided by all concerned
apparently with view on the part of
the creditor nation that the time for
igrasping that nettle might most con.
veniently be indefinitely postponed.
The most cheerful view of the eff.
feet of the Earl of Balfour's note dis
coverable today was that it will afford
an understanding all around Of what
sares shs policies and intentions Of the
governments concerned. It is con.
siderei that next to reputation or ar
equivalent plea Of inability to pay
uncertainty is probably the wors,
damage which Europe and the world
Of business could continue to suffer.
Within few days-after next
weeks conference between Premiers
Lloyd George and Poincare-the poll
cies Of both Great Britain and France
should be made clear. The French
position in one vital respect already is
plain-that all European post war IN.
Gebtedness is linked together and any
solution of the situation must depend
upon what Germany may be willing
or forced to do.

washington Aug. (By the ASSO-
ciated Press).-Further government
action in the railroad strike was held
in allegiance today, though railroad
executives who refused President
Harding's suggestion for settlement
yesterday were understood to have
spprised administration agencies
that the door was still open for nego-
tiations. If protection in seniority
status acquired by shopmen who have
continued to work in spite of the
strike could be guaranteed by any
basis Of settlement the president
might find fair it would be favorably
considered by the managements, it
was said. Tentative negotiations dur
ing the day, it was added, had brought
no immediate tangible results.
The president was said to be await
ing the text of the reply which union
leaders at Chicago were drafting to
his settlement proposals. Secretary
Hoover, who attended the session of
the road executives at New York, saw
Mr.. Harding on his return today but
said that no immediate governmental
steps were to be expected. Other
cabinet members who saw the presi-
dent for discussion Of strike matters
indicated the feeling that claims Of
railroad managements as to their abil-
ity to maintain transportation would
get test during the next few days.
There officials left the inference that
If the strike demonstrated symptoms
of dissolution as predicted by the car
riers, the president might not move
again.
