checked Today's tabulation is ex-
pected to bring the total to about
100000 and it was said the returns

a heavy majority for strike, condi-
tional upon the support of the other

not more than 100000 votes would be
cast, this including that of non-union
members of the maintenance OF way
crafts, who also are participating In
the referendum.
The returns are being forwarded to
e. F. Cradle. grand president of the

alone, spokesman for the organiza
ton here asserting that the union
would not play lone hand" and add
ing that unless there is concerted

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
URGED TO OPERATE
IN COAL Distribution
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Business
organizations affiliated with the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States were called upon today by Iu-
Illus H. Barnes, president of the Chi.
cago Chamber, to lend their co-opera-
ton in the effort to prevent run
away coal market by setting up ma
chinery for co-ordinating the distribu-
ton of coal among their local indus
trial and individual consumers. Each
of the 1000 organizations, Chambers
of Commerce and trades organizations,
was urged to appoint fuel commit
tee and make an immediate survey of
the local situation.
Proposing the plan as supplemental
to the suggestion of Secretary Hoov-
err that the public utilities and rail
roads, as the largest consuming
groups, appoint buyers committees to
coordinate the purchases, Mr.. Barnes
said:
in view of a possibility of the
strike continuing until depletion of
stocks becomes serious, believe that
in the general public interest this stu
alton should be anticipated as much
as possible. In the absence of other
machinery l suggest that you appoint
fuel committee to survey the condi-
tions relative to stocks on hand and
| the needs in your community or in
dustry and that this information be
compiled so that if the situation does
! become serious it can be used in any
plan for distribution of available coal.

McCarty had been cited for extreme
bravery, his citation stating he was

SEES DEMOCRATIC
Win IN WISCONSIN
nv Associated Press)


MILWAUKEE. June 27.-This is the
year for political house cleaning in
Wisconsin with the Democrats sweep
ing the Republican party, which for p
years has held all state offices from
power, Thomas NJ. Kearney, temporary
chairman of the Democratic state COM
nittee, said in an address prepared for
delivery to delegates at their gather
ing here today He declared that the
Republican party had run the state
near the verge of bankruptcy.
We are met here" continued the
address, mot only as Democrats, but
as taxpayers to denounce this policy
of unbridled extravaganza in govern
ment, this centraliizng of power at the
state capitol, this growing insupport-
able burden of expense.
Touching indirectly on the prohibi-
ton issue, Mr.. Kearney declared that
the Democratic party stands at all
times for the enforcement of existing
law" but said that every law, either
constitutional statutory, is always sub
iect to the will of the people. Thus a
law may always be brought in accord
with the wishes of majority. If PEG.
pie have confidence in its integrity
they may rest content that unfair, un
lust and oppressive laws will not lone
be in force
Senator LaFollette was scored in the
address for what Mr.. Kearney termed
an agreement between the senator and
Victor Berger of Milwaukee to combine
their forces in the coming campaign
The senior Wisconsin senator was de
scribed as the most expensive politi
clan in the United States, considering
his weight, size and other dimensions.

Chinese General Refuses
Office Because of Age
(By Associated Press

PICKING, June 27.-When General
Wang Shfh-cheng was called into the
presidents office recently and asked
to serve as premier under a recon
struction regime he declined with a
reason considered unusual in China
General Wang served under the Man
chus, was premier in the early stages
of the republic and once attempted to
reorganize the army.
In a country which has respect for
old age it was thought proper that he
should assume responsibility for form
ing new cabinet. But General Wang
pleaded his SIS years as a reason for
not serving and added that his educa-
ton and training were of the old
school and therefore unsuited for the
new China. He declared the country
demanded young and vigorous brains
to guide it and suggested that one of
the Chinese delegates to the Washing
ton conference, with a knowledge of
world affairs, should be selected
When General Wang had left the
presidents office he was still consid-
cred the favorite.

out of the wording and Interpretation

day to call on Secretary Hughes it was
reported for the purpose of communi-
eating Peru's acceptance of the COM
promise plan 'in principle" and of ask
ing the secretary to clear up a por-
ton of the formula to which varying
interpretations have been attached.
Chile, having accepted the principle
of the compromise proposal nearly a
week ago it was understood that &C
tive exchanges regarding the exact
language of the formula would begin
at once. Both sides appeared anxious
to proceed as rapidly as possible in
the hope of bringing the conference
TO an end during the present week.
The difference in Interpretation
which had arisen over the formula as
originally outlined by Mr.. Hughes did
not appear to be regarded by either
side today as endangering the success
of the negotiations and predictions
were general that a definitely-worded
/ agreement soon would be before the
