HARDING CONFIDENT OF
EARLY SETTLEMENT
Suggestion of Compromise of Princi-
pal Issue in Controversy Sug-
gested by President.

Washington, July 28.-Proposals
for settling the rail strike, drawn up
by President Harding and represen-
tatives of railroad executives, will be
submitted to the separate groups next
Monday; the railway managers meet
ing in New York and the employees
ENJOYS in Chicago. Details Of the
plans were still withheld tonight, but
President Harding was said to feel
that prospects were bright for an
early settlement
A provision in the plan was un-
derstood to involve the seniority issue
which was said further to be the only
section in the plan to have been
identified as among the controversial
issues between the railroads and their
workmen. Another Section would
concede the right Of the strikers to a
rehearing before the labor board on
the wage issue, and another would
bind the railroads to set up regional
adjustment boards, while fourth
would require abandonment by rail-
roads of contracts with outside shops
for repair work.
President Harding was understood
to have suggested compromise on
the question of seniority rights by
which all men hired since the strike
would retain their positions, the
strikers regaining their former privi-
leges so as to rank just behind the
men who did not walk out July 1. The
strikers under the plan would return
to work at the scales set by the board
in its decision July / which precipi-
tated the strike, but without prejudice
to either side when the matter was
brought up for rehearing.
B. NJ. Jewell, president of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, and
international officers of the unions
on strike left tonight for Chicago, an
nouncing that the strike committee of
each organization would convene in
that city Tuesday to consider the
presidents suggestions. The execu-
tives will meet in New York for the
same purpose. Preliminary conferen-
ces will be held by each group.
1t was said Secretary Hoover might
attend the meeting at New York and
there was a probability that Secretary
Davis might attend the union gather
ing. Mr.. Davis left tonight for Moos-
heart, near Chicago.
Although the, union leadership was
understood to be willing to recon-
mend calling off the strike on basis
whick would still leave their mem
bers working at the wage reductions
which caused the strike, the seniority
issue has been growing more formid-
able each day. Railroads which have
been more or less successful in build
ing up new shop working forces OBJ
ject to proposals that the new men be
displaced by returning strikers. A
large number of lines, however, in
Guiding most of those in the southeast
and northwest sections of the country,
have indicated their willingness to
take back all of their men in the exact
positions which they held at the time
of striking.

which has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives and is now resting in tina
Senate in the keeping Of that body,
has written letter to the chairman
Of the Senate judiciary Committee urg
ing prompt action on the measure. He
calls attention to the fact that tho
House Judiciary Committee has ex-
pressed the opinion that the bill is con
stitutional and tina; Attorney General
Daugherty concurs in this opinion. Tho
outlook for senatorial action on the bill
at this time is not bright, but condt
tions in the southern States where hu
man beings have been recently burned
at the Stake would seem to indicate
that the necessity for the passage Of
the measure is Urgent.

by him. Seven shots were fired into
the body fthe man and then in Il mad

and thcn preparation was made to
burn his body. This practice was un
civilized. The law and it's officers wero
there to metc punishment. Every colo:

which the colored man stood charged,
whether that crime was rape or simple

RACE STUDENTS AGAIN WIN IN
DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THIS TIME CONTEST IS IN
ATHLETICS

(By Francis II. Warrer.)
That students of the Race can sue.

highest percentages In athletic achieve

cided in the various contests on that
day.
500 girl students OF Detroit Public
Schools had entered from their re-.
spectlve schools as contestants for
these prizes, OF which number
tho number of Race applicants
was fairly proportional to the Race
population. When the percentages
were reckoned, however, in last Sotur
days contest it developed that five of
the Race contestants had come out vic
torlous. The Race winners were as fol
lows:
Eta Phillips. Palmer School, 43s5
points; Maggie Clavon, Lincoln School.
4'2l5 points; Martha Hunter, Moore
School, 1900 points: Matte Tilson,
Davidson School, 4,S05 points; Inca
Edgcomh, White School, 4.O1O points.
ihe successful Caucasian students
were as follows:
gladys Durfee, Jefferson School Ass
points; Gertrude Pearl, Alger School
f.lSo points; Lillian Koch, Stephens
school, 4,00S points; Thelma Bageett,
Goldberg School, 1891 points.
In attaining this splendid record 4.
should be remembered that these Face
students are co-educated every day
rlsht along with Caucasian students in
the same schools where the opportuni.
Tics Tor success are equal to all who ut
tend the Detroit Public Schols. No
such thing as Race schools Is known In
Detroit as all children in every school
district attend the same school wheth.

TO attain athletic success in the Free

wholesome public school conditions
which attain in Detroit.
On Saturday, June 3, the Free Press

THE RISH SITUATION.

Reports from the Free State Of Ire.
!"nd would seem to indicate that post
poncd condition will be postponed no
longer and that Great Britain Is face
to face with a finish fight" in that I'm
happy country. The men who terroriz.
ed the Britains have succeeded in ter
rorizing the IrisliIren, who framed an
agreement with that great country.
When troops are reinforced in the Is.
land and when the Ulsterizers are mobi
lized then one Of the bloodiest conflicts
ever seen will be launched with the re
suit in the future. Viewed from any
angle, 1t means complete subjugation
OF complete independence. Complete In
dependence means that the conflict
will be followed by another civil war
between the northern and southern
forces in Ireland.
Great Britain might grant to Ireland
complete independence were the con-
tending factions not located at their
very doors. 1t is question which
calls for craftsmanship and not for
quibbl!ng compromises. Premier Lloyd
George was under the impression that
by legerdermain diplomacy. he had SGT.
tied the Irish question, but instead, no
threw 1t a few miles down the road,
whore he Is destined to meet 1t again.
