 BEFORE CONGRESS
Heads of Unions Mark Time Awaiting Framing of Reply to Presidents Latest
 Proposal
By Associateu Press

Washington, August 9.-Heads of striking railroad unions marked time here today while awaiting the ar- rival of executives of other trans portation labor organizations who have been invited to the general con ference Friday to consider the shop mems reply to President Harding's s latest proposed basis for settlement.
 Congressional leaders mean
 time were considering the pos-
 sibility that President Harding.
 in the event of his failure.
 might seek . legislative reme-
 dy for the country's admitted
 serious industrial ailment.
 Republican leaders, however. held the view that the President had no definite legislative program in mind when he suggested to them the de- sirability of maintaining full -nem- bership attendance when the House reassembles Tuesday. Their inquir- ies along this line. they said. nave satisfied them that Congress would be called upon, If the situation war rants such action in the view of the executive, to enact remedial legisla- tion. It was the understanding in republican circles that Congress would be informed of the actual sit- uation in a presidential message If and when 1t was called on to get.
 situation at Joliet
 President Harding. according to union spokesmen, took cognizance of the developments at Joliet H., where train service employees walked out today because of condition aris- ing from the shopmens strike. by calling H. E. Wills. W. N Doak and Arthur J. Lowell, Washington agents of three of the four brotherhood unions. to discuss the new situation with Secretary Davis, of the labor department.
 The President also was given view of the position taken by nom gtriking railroad shop employees. when a delegation of workmen on the Pennsylvania system was re- ceived at the White House. The delegation asked that it's seniority rights be not subordinated to seni- ority rights of strikers in the at tempt to bring about settlement.
 Equipment Deteriorating.
 B. M. Jewell, chairman of the lead CTS, group of the seven striking unions, predicted that the Presidents final offer of a basis of settlement for the strike might await an an- swer until Monday or Tuesday. though the arrival of officials of the various transportation unions led to several preliminary conferences in administration circles. Mir. Jewell declared the unions were attempting no dealings with the government in the meantime, that all separate con ferenccs between railroad companies and strike organizations were off be- cause the strike would be dealt with on a national basis. and reiterated charges that railroad equipment was to 9 dangerous point on account of the strike.
 Make No Announcement.
 Chief executive of the striking un- boilmakers. sheet metal workers, electricians, black smiths, car men and stationary fire- men held their preliminary confer ence today, but MT. Jewell said there would be no announcement.

The testimony, given through an interpreter. was interrupted twice by unusual incidents, the first be- ing the clearing of the court room because of burst of laughter from the spectators over an answer by one of the witnesses. Later a young woman spectator began to sob vio- lently. As bailiff was leading her from the room she became hysteri- cal and screamed T want to see a kleagle." Two klansmen bearing that title among the defendants, said they knew nothing of her. Matrons who examined her at the county jail, said they found package contain ing habit-forming drug in her handbag.
 Matias Elduayen testified that the forced automobile ride on which he and his brother were taken. included rides to the police station. and fu- tile attempts to have them locked up. His testimony consisted large- ly of negative answers to questions whether he had sold liquor to his captors before they bound him.

TEXAS REPUBLICAN
 STATE CONVENTION. CONDEMNS kU KLUX.
Full Ticket to Oppose Demo- crats Is Placed in Field. Harding Administra-
 ton Indorsed
By Associated Press

Fort Worth. Tex. August s.-- Adoption of comprehensive plat form, one plank of which condemned the Ku Klux Klan. and indorsement of 2 complete list of candidates to oppose democratic nominees in the November election. constituted the chief work of the closing session of the Texas republican biennial con vention today.
 The vote in both instances was unanimous, resulting in party lead CTS expressing the belief that tho convention was one of the most har- monious on record.
 E. P. Wilmot, Austin banker. was nominated for United States Senate and w. H. Atwell. former federal dis trict attorney of North Texas, for governor.
 The platform, aside from denounc- ing the Ku Klux klan and accus- ing the democratic party of being dominated by 1t, reaffirmed the re- publican party's traditional stand on the tariff question, indorsed the poll icies and accomplishment of the Harding administration, character fixed as "disgraceful to our state" the present prison system. demanded abolishment of the fee system and re- peal of the primary election law. Good roads. flood control, an agri- cultural and mechanical college for west Texas, efficiency and economy in state government, a square deal for former service men, improved educational advantage, ana Doaro for arbitrating disputes between capital and labor. were among the things advocated.
 Condemns KIan.
 The platform against the Ku Klux Klan sets forth that the republican party stands committed unreserved ly for pure and undefiIed 100 per cent Americanism as established by the founders of the republic, but we con- demn the Ku. Kiux Klan. or any sim liar organization whose purpose is to restrain by force, threat, intimida- tfon or otherwise thA conduct or our citizens in the full exercise of free- dom, whether in matters of politics. religion or occupation, or dlscrim- mates between loyal American on the ground that religious belief or na- tionality." f
 'The republican party stands pledged to the preservation of a re- publican form of government; it re. gards with apprehension the activity of any group, within or without the state. tLat Directly or indirectly seeks to usurp. interfere with. or to lessen the full authority and power conferred by the people upon their duty constituted agencies of govern ment. We stand for a government of law and for vigorous and impartial enforcement of all laws and we charge that the democratic party in many portions of the state. if not in the entire state, is now under tho control and domination of the Ku

COAL DIFFERENCE
 AGAIN POSTPONES
 ACTION ON STRIKE
Union Ready to Negotiate Contract With Operators Already Enrolled in Cleve-
 land Meeting
By Associated Press

Cleveland, August 9.-For a sec ond time the joint interstate confer ence of coal miners and operators delayed action today to permit the hold-out Illinois operators to decide whether they would participate in negotiations that may end the soft coal strike. Adjournment was taken until tomorrow, though virtual decision had been made by union leaders to negotiate a contract with the operators already enrolled in the conference and who control only part of the coal production of the central competitive field.
 The unions policy committee will meet in the morning to pass finally on the question of a prospective set- clement which would affect most Ohio mines as also scattered ones in western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois. these four states forming the central competitive field. The committee also expects to consider extension of the central field to other parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
 Sentiment favoring a settlement with the operators here seemed pre- dominant among the committee members. and was regarded as fore casting approval of the union lead CTS decision, which became known after President John l.. Lewis Of the miners. had received assurance from operators in states outside the central field of their willingness to negotiate contracts on the basis made for that field.
 Conference Brief
 The conference today was brief, adjournment being followed with the announcement that the delay. wa s to permit certain important opexat- ing interests" to decide whether they would join in the negotiations. Word had not been received at that time >of the decision of the Illinois Op- erator's association In refusing to participate unlees ths usiion accedee to arbitration MT. Lewis had inform ed the Illinois operators that hc would not agree to their demand for arbitration.
 New arrivals among the operators here included Thomas H. Watkins owner of several big mines in cen tral Pennsylvania. and Harry Oim- stead, a representative of William son county, West Virginia, opera tors. both of whom said they were here only as observers" Although the scale committee of the Indiana Operators association had voted against Joining the conference, rep resentatiyes of several operators within the association were among those at the conference session to : day.
