Discharged Burglar Tries
 To Break Back Into Prison

houses in westvil1e, and made off with large sums of money. Previous to his WestviHe escapade, Dansh1re had been arrested in Springfield twice and in Baltimore once.
 When it was found that DanShire had a revolver, which was of .32-cal- ibre, it was assumed that violence to some member of the prison force was the motive. The night force of the prison was at once summoned and a thorough search of the prison grounds both outside and inside the wall and of the prison itself is now being con- ducted. It is thought that Danshire may have Secreted drugs or tools for 8 jail delivery before making his dar- ing attempt to enter the building.
 Prisoners are also being closely ex- an1ined in order to ascertain whether or not Danshire had an acconplice and the state police are on the look out for suspects on the outside.
 It was found that Danshire had scaled the wall on the outside by using a ladder which he had obtained near the prison and had tied 8 rope to the railing that runs along the top of the wall to let himself down on the inside,

Rail Strike Settlement To

days meeting Telegrams summon ing the general chairmen to the con- ference were sent out last night.
 If the shOipmen accept President Harding's plan, it is considered cer- tain that the stationary fremen and oilers, who have joined in the strike, will take similar action.
 That the attitude of the carriers to- ward the restoration of seniority rights to the strikers may continue to prove the stumbling block in the path of settlement was indicated Dy the announcement of a high railway official that Western roads will stand pat on their policy of protecting those who have entered the service since the strike began. Strike lead CTS here pointed to the collapse Of the move of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad to reach a separate agree ment with it's employees as an indlca- tion that the union ranks are solld and that the only settlement that will be accepted will be one that is na- tional in scope
 Generally speaking, the fourth week of the strike has been comparatively free from disorders of a serious na- ture.
 Railroads continue to advance claims of normal service and contend that such curtailment as mas resulted is due more to the coal strike Sltua- ton than to the shopmen's walkout. The unions contend that rail equip ment is rapidly deteriorating for lack of expert repairs and that a break down in the transportation system IS imminent unless the tstrike is soon settled.

Coal Famine
 Fears w ane In Mid-West
fBY WILLIAM J. HUsKE.)

Cleveland, Ohio, July 29.-Peace in the union coal fields of the United which has brought the nation to the brink of it's worst fuel famine, is near at hand; prominent operators told International Service today.
 Within a short time, possibly early next week, a joint conference repre- senting a majority of the tonnage" in the Old Central Comp etitive Field, consisting of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will meet with the scale committee of the United Mine Workers of America, and ar range the basis of the settlement Not all operators will be present or represented at this meeting, it was admitted, and the tonnage represented in some of the fields may be small. but it is thought certain that all op- orators employing union miners will accept the result in view of the gen. orally recognized futility of efforts to mine coal by the use of strikebreak- CTS.
 The invitation of President Hard ing to resume mining under the pro lection of state or federal troops mas been barren of results and 1t Is now generally admitted that the only way to get sufficient coal to avert fam inc that will result in serious suffer- ing and bring reviving industry from the brink of chaos, is to make an agreement satisfactory to the organ ized miners.
 The books of coal operators here and at other points in the Central field it is learned, are filled with or Jders and customers are clam bring for coal. Operators can see before them
 several months of profitable business and also realize that unless some vol
 untary steps are taken very soon to end hte fuel famine, the government will step in and operate the mines. The original date set for the as- sembling of the joint conference was today, but delay in reaching an agreement is responsible for slight postponement. President John L. Lewis of the United Miners, it is rep
 resented as having increased his de mandS as to the amount of tonnage to be represented, thus necessitatins additional negotiations among the operators themselves.

Must Respect Agreement.
 Back of the whole program lies the understanding clearly made in the ser ies of White House conferences this week, that when the strike is over, both sides hereafter will live up to the decisions of the Labor Board. It is the firm conviction of President Harding and his advisers that 90 per cent. of the present trouble can be traced to the fact that both sides have disregarded the Boards decisions, and the settlement proposed by the Presi- dent is predicated on the understand ing that hereafter both sides will 'fbe good"
 Compromise Program.
 President Harding himself has de- scribed the program as one of com promise. It Is known, however, that the railway strike leaders are highly pleased with the terms as outlined. They make concessions in the matter which calls for future observance by the railroads of the letter and law of the Labor Boards decisions, such as in the farming out of contract re pair work, they feel they have won notable victory.
 The one big question was the atti- tude the 14S executives will take when they .neet in New York on Tuesday to reply to President Hard Ing's proposals and to formulate a policy.
 Some Opposition Expected. So far as labor is concerned, the program has already been accepted, but that it will not have smooth sail | ing through the meeting of the AS executives in New York Tuesday was readily admitted today by adminis- | tration spokesmen. The 'die hards" 1 element among the executives, partic- | ularly those who stood out most | strongly against any yielding on the | troublesome seniority issue like w. W. Atterbury, of the Pennsylvania, L. F. Loree of the Delaware & Hud- | son, and representatives of the New | York Central and Er1e lines are ex- pected to wage a hot fight against ac- | ceptance of any proposition 1nvolv- | ing a recession from their previously | announced stand.
 l The assertion of executives, how | ever, usually acts as a un1C, and it is 1 expected the 'tdie hards'' would be in | the minority at Tuesdays meeting | The big Eastern roads, generally l speaking, were not seriously crippled | by the shipments strike.ebut the mid i West and Western lines were hard | hit. Some of these latter roads have
 been brought to the verge of suspend
 ed operations by the strike, and they | are expected to offset the argument | of the Eastern roads
