RAILWAY WILL MAKE
FIRST MOVE TO BATTLE STRIKE
BY EMPLOYING AVAILABLE MEN
President Fairfax Harrison Says eff Means War to Run
the Southern Railway Then Let Us Have 1t Now
Not Later" Joint Conferences Fail
Produce a Settlement

to consider strike settlement proposals
put forward by President Harding.
The statement issued by Mr.. Harrison
said:
Every effort has been made to so op-
crate our property that our men could
honorably return to work. Every effort
has been made to settle with our men,
we have gone to the extent of offering
the terms that they had previously
agreed to accept. We have thus held
out every reasonable inducement without
result. E.
I've must now turn to employing 9TH
ers, for the road must be run; we must
give those we employ protection, for,
it may be that those we have up to this
time protected by keeping their jobs
open may now turn against us, even to
an attempt to prevent others from work.
ing.
"Can is now being made upon every
employe, upon every patron of this COM
pany, and upon every citizen along its
lines, to rally to the support of the road
that has served you and protected your
own interests in the maintenance of
transportation. With your help we can
run the road, and we pledge all the re-
sources of the company to that end. II
it means war to run the Southern Rail-
way, then let us have it now-not later" |"

senatorial contest in whcih former SEN
ator James K. Vardaman of Jackson,
former Representative Hubert Stephens
of New Albany, and Miss Belle Kearney
of Flora, are seeking nomination. The
principal issue in the campaign has CEN
tered in charges that Vardaman has de-
serted the Democratic party.
The three candidates tonight were
making confident claims Of victory, but
the general impression among conserva-
tive political observers was that second
primary would be necessary.
With the exception of Representative
Paul johnson of the sixth district all Of
Missippi's congressman are seeking re-
nomination. Representatives ]. e. Ran
kin of the first and Benjamin Humph-

exceptions committee amendments in the
sundries schedule and in the free list OF

countered a defeat when it sought to re-
move oil cake meal from the free list to
the dutiable list with a rate of one-half
cent a pound. The amendment was re-
jected, 81 to %.
Senator Broussard, Democrat. Louisi-
ana, lost his fight to remove from the
free list "blackstrap'' molasses used in
the manufacture Of cattle feeds.
There was tie vote, one to one, on
one committee proposal, a fifty per cent
duty on umbrellas, parasols and sun
shades and Chairman McCumber of the
finance committee. and Senator Robin

opponents in the matter, compromised
on duty of forty per cent, Mr.. Robin
son first urged "a per cent.
A committee proposal to insert in the

Premier Poincare, and thereupon Mr..
Lloyd George declared he was unable
to agree to an adjournment Of the
conference without q moratorium.
The situation now appears that the
conference has separated without any
idea of a new conference. The British
government insists upon moratorium
as an imperative precedent to any fur
ther negotiations. On the other hand,
M. Poincare resolutely refuses mo-
ratorium, unles it is accompanied by
what he calls guarantees"
The English critics of the situation
as between England and France saw
no other outcome from the first. They
held that M. Poincare feared his par
lament and apprehended a fall like
that of former Premier BRAND if he
yielded to British persuasion. The
previous allied conferences concerning
Germany generally have ended with
some show of a surface agreement be-
tween the policies of Great Britain and
France. This was almost the first oc-
casion on which the delegates agreed
to differ"
The situation is considered all the
more serious viewing the continuous
fall in the mark and the fact that
nothing whatever has been decided
upon beyond temporary suspension

CONTRACT TO
Be SIGNED BY
both TODAY
All Details of Agreement Ac-
cepted i'm Principle-SubcOm
mittee Draw Contract.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
SYSTEM BROKEN AT LAST
Means Abandonment of Central
Competitive Field-6O,0OO
Men Return to Jobs.
(gy Tho Associated Press)

CLEVELAND, Aug. 14.-The soft coal
strike was virtually broken tonight, but
prospects were that the actual signing
of an agreement between the United
Mine Workers and operators, controlling
an annual output of 100000 tons would
be delayed until tomorrow. The signing
of the contract will actually end the
strike in part.
All details of the agreement were ac-
cepted in principle by both miners and
operators, and the actual draft Of the
contract was left to a subcommittee, who
continued it's work into the night. The
actual signing of the contract, President
John L. Lewis of the miners said, is ex-
pected to follow a meeting tomorrow Of
the unions policy committee.
Conference Called OF.
AS a result of the progress made to-
night by operators and miners Governor
Harry L. Davis of Ohio, announced he
would call off the conference of govern
ors of five coal producing staes that was
to have met here to consider the strike
situation. He also announced that he
would withdraw Ohio militian1en who
were sent into the coal fields recently.
The terms of the settlement mark a
breakdown in the system of collective
bargaining that has grown up in the soft
coal industry since 1884. It means the
= abandonment for the present at least OF
| the central competitive field, comprising
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
| Illinois as the basis for fixing wages in
fields outside the four states. In the past
| wage contracts have been made for the
central field, and those of outlying dis
tricts have been fixed on the centra
| field scale.
Fundamental Policy Change.
This is not the first time, however
that the wage making machinery on the
| central field basis has broken down. Il
failed in 1905, and was not fully re-estab-
! lished until 1910.
The new plan Of settlement is funda-
| mental change in the policy of the United
| Mine Workers of, America and for thai
reason the union policy committee Of III
members was called to pass on it.
| No exact estimate of the number o.
miners who will be put back to work un'
der the settlement was obtained, but va
ried between $4,000 and $4,000 men. AL
| together, there are 100000 soft coal min
ers on strike, union officials said. 1t /:
| expected by them that the other opera
tors will accept the settlement, effected
here, but meanwhile the strike will con
| tinue at their mines.

Half Million Tons
Coal To Northwest

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-Completion
of arrangements with the federal cen
trail distribution committee, whereby
more than a half million tons of coal will
be moved to the northwest within the
next fortnight was announced late today
by Senator Kellogg. Of Minnesota, and
Lenroot of Wisconsin.
The situation in the northwestern
states, which must receive their winter
coal supply before the lake navigation
closes, has been causing considerable
concern to officials here. Figures is
sued by the geological survey show that
dumping of coal at lake ports for water
shipment to the northwest have been far
below normal.

great Britain's leading publisher passed
peacefully away early this morning after

logne, while he was making trip incog-
nito through Germany. Although he was
aware of the righteousness of his ILL
ness, he battled gamely to regain his
health.
The news Of the death Of Lord North
cliffe did not come as a surprise, for
during the past several weeks the bulle-
tins issued by his physicians, although
skillfully worded, had failed to hold out
hone for his recovery. Nevertheless his
nassing has caused universal sorrow, and
messages of sympathy have poured into
his widow all day long from all parts OF
the world.
Condolences.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 14.-Pres1dent

WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-Needs of
southern coal consumers were studied
today by Federal Fuel Distributor Spen-
Ger and the central coal committee nam

ginia, headed a delegation of citizens of
Virginia who applied to Mr.. Spencer for
allotment of coal to be turned over to
Virginia for distribution among essential
industries in accordance with the plans
of the federal organization.
The central committee suggested that
an organization be set up in Virginia to
cooperate with the state fuel admins
traitor in the distribution of fuel supplies
along the lines adopted in other states.
The fuel situation in South Carolina
was discussed with a delegation from
that state and, according to committee
officials, fuel distribution was reported
to be progressing satisfactorily in South
Carolina with available supplies being
distributed to those industries where the
need was most keen.
