(Continued from page ~
Roads Cooperating


NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The East
ern railroads were cooperating with
the western roads today in helping
the roads in the non-union coal
fields of the south by sending them
quotas of skilled shopmen to keep
the rolling stock in commission.
The first contingent of eastern
shopmen sent from here reached
Richmond. Va, today, according TO
the railroad executives. A similar
shipment was due in points in Zen
lucky and Ohio from the west, 1t was
said. All were volunteers from the
six shop crafts on strike, the execu-
tives said. They are paid labor
board rates, but are fed and housed
free because of threatened Violence.
Besides sending labor, the Eastern
roads reported that equipment also
would be sent the Southern roads
should it be necessary. The four
roads being assisted now are the
Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk & Wes-
tern, the Virginian. and the Louis
willie & Nashville. 1t was estimated
these roads, because of the help, i'm
mediately will be able to increase
their service S3 per cent.
This help, made in conformity
with the "gentleman's agreement
of the managers to take care of the
carriers serving the great non-ur,io IN
coal fields of Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee. is the fist
step to meet the Presidents demands
that the railroads move all the non-
union coal that can be mined.
By it the executives expect to re-
move all possible cause of forcthle
Intervention by the administrator

the truth of their assertions that, left
alone. they can dispose of the strike
without yielding to the strikers on

SENATE REJECTS PLANS FOR
TARIFF VOTE AUGUST II

WASHINGTON Aug. ALI pro-
posals to fix the date for a final vote
on the Tariff Bill were rejected in
the Senate late yesterday. The date
proposed. was Aug IT. Prolonged
negotiations indicate that two
unanimous consent agreements will
be necessary for final action. Re-
publicans dislike making two bites
of the cherry, but no other course
seems open.
An agreement has been suggested
to conclude consideration of certain
bitterly disputed features. These in
clude sugar, hides, boots and shoes,
potash and the elastic tariff plan. 1t
is desired to have full discussion of
these items: No limitation will be
permitted until the larger contro-
versies are out of the way.
All extraneous topics shall be
barred unit, this debate is termi-
mated. At it's conclusion another
agreement will provide that each
senator may speak n hour on the
bill, ten minutes on any amend
ment, and no time would be set for
a final vote.
Opinion prevails that two agree
along the lines indicated may
be reached today. These would be-
come effective at the conclusion CT
the paper and pulp schedule.
Senator simmons and the Demo-
cratic leaders will insist on this pro-
gram. They have the best of the
situation at present. 1t is virtually
certain the Republicans must make
such concessions in order to obtain
early action.
Senator Lenroot (Rep., Wis.)
blocked all efforts in the direction
of fixing a date for a final vote when
the matter came up. He formally
objected alike to the suggestion ad-
vanced by Simmons and McCumber.
His attitude greatly irritated Lodge
and the Republican leaders. Lodge
promptly objected to a plan put for-
ward by Lenroot.
1t is evident Lenroot has all the
best of the controversy. and Lodse
will be forced to accept the principle
of his plan. This is evident, because
simmons will cooperate with Len
root.
II Is predicted that the proposition
as outlined will result in a final vote
by the end of the month.
