STRIKERS STAND FIRM

Washington. Aug. 1O.-Nearly all
the officials of the railroad unions who
will participate in tomorrow's con
ference over President Hardings final
proposal of basis for settling the
strike were in Washington Thursday
night and had completed a survey of
the situation as presented to them by
leaders of the seven shop crafts or
CARNATIONS actually on strike. The only
exceptions were the heads Of the four
brotherhoods of train service men. who
are expected to be here when the gen.
eral meeting begins.
Ben w. Hooper. chairman of the
railroad labor board. who also arrived
in Washington Thursday. called upon
President Harding and later got in
touch with union spokesman.
II was understood that Mr.. Hoopers'
efforts were TO persuade both the rail
executives and the union leaders to
accept the presidents offer which sug-
gested that the strike be called off, he
men be taken back in service by the
railroads and the question of seniority
status be dealt with by the board.
The White House was the source of
intimations that the executives could
be expected TO accept the presidents
solution. after their meeting at New
York Friday. Strike leaders however.
apparently were unchanged in their at
titude of opposition. although r. NJ.
Jewell. chairman of the striking group.
said they would not make response
until after the general meeting and
added that the meeting could hardly
reach decision before Saturday. He
repudiated as entirely unfounded sug-

Germs Get Chance.
to ak.

Washington. Aug. 10.-Decision to
call head officials of many of the
/ greater oil companies who can talk
about the inside of the oil industry.
was reached Thursday by acting chair
man McNary of the senate manufac-
lures committee as the next step in the
senate investigation of the gasoline
price situation.
Senator Mc\ary said he was deter
mined to have relevant facts instead of
side issues" in the committee record.
The investigation would show, Sen
ator McNary said, whether there is
actual competition. for instance.
among the units of the Standard Oil
groups.
He believed also, ne added. that the
investigation would show whether there
is IAN understanding or what amounts
to an understanding, between selling
companies as to the antics gasoline
prices shall perform
The committee has heard in the past
four days II. l.. Welch. secretary of
the American Petroleum Institute: and
John d. Clar. vice president of the
Mid West Refining company. Both gave
testimony which the chairman said
he regarded as highly interesting and
frankly offered" but stated that it did
not get anywhere in the committees $
PLAN Consequently the committee
adjourned Thursday to meet again
probably early next week. when it is
proposed to call witnesses from the
ranks of high oil companys officials.
In addition to the subjects mention
ed. Senator Mc\ary explained that the
committee would inquire into the make
up of fhe big companies, the names
and natures of their subsidiaries. their
capital. net returns and overhead ex-
penses, the personnel and salaries of
the directorates and details as to trade
practices. He declared that it was
common report that some producers
holding near -monopolies on small fields
had resorted to choking wells in order
that the production could be held down
and the market ''buoyed up"
In this connection Senator McNary
called attention to statements Thurs
day of Mr.. Clark to the effect that
the production of Rocky Mountain
field. where his company operates. was
not fully developed Mr.. Clark said
this was because the refneries could
not dispose of crude oil as rapidly as
il was offered. Senator McNary said
he thought that in some cases. the
practice might be move to compel
higher prices on finished or refined
products.

GOVERNORS FAVOR

OF ROADS, MINES
Drastic Action Advocated at
Meeting of State
Officials.

st. Paul. Aug. 1O.-CBy The Asso.
ciated Press ss)-Government operation
of railroads serving the producing
mines and if necessary government
seizure and operation of all the coal
mines in the United States will have
the approval of the governors of Min
nesota. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Wisconsin snd Iowa, according to reso-
lutions adopted at the conference of
governors in st. Paul Thursday night
and forwarded to President Harding.
The resolution declared that a coal
shortage exists that threatens "the
health and happiness of our people and
imperils the prosperity of our busi-
ness"
1t was decided to appoint repre-
sentative from each of the five states
to a joint committee to be maintained
at Washington to advance the interests
of the northwest in the present coal
emergency. The committee will be
known as the Northwest Coal commit
tee and its expenses will be pro-rated
among the five states.
The resolution followed decIara-
ton by Governor n. f. Kendall of
Iowa that regardless of what action
is taken now. hundreds of industries
in the northwest will be closed for
lack of fuel and thousands of men
thrown out of employment. Iowa, he
said. has only two weeks supply of
coal on. hand in spite of the fact that
the state has mines capable of produc-
ing a million tons of coal a month
ut is next to impossible to operate
the Iowa mines, as / wrote the presi-
dent. unless the union men in the state
can be induced TO return to work"
Governor Kendall said Il see no
relief for our country whatever except
for the federal government to operate
the mines"

The governments defense against

to lie in the powers of the interstate
commerce commission to allocate coal
cars so that mines boosting prices
would be without transportation facil

Department of justice officials con-

committee that the commission had am
pie authority under the law to so dis
tribute cars to the mines as to effect

now hns secured the full support of
his cabinet for whatever policy may
have been decided upon by the British
delegates to the conference which he
has been considering the German
financial question while the French
cabinet also has given Premier Poin-
care free hand. Thus. although the
full conference has not yet formally
rejected the proposals whereby
France would consent to a moratorium
for Germany, deadlock seems to
have been reached which, in the opin-
ion of observers. will only permit the
winding up of the conference when the

New York. Aug. i0.-(By The
Associated Press.)-As western
transportation managers began to
arrive for the session Friday of tho
Association of Railway Executives.
to pass on President Harding's new
rail- peace plan, Indications were
that the "No surrender" policy
voiced by L. r. Loree. chairman OF
the eastern conference, was fast
gaining momentum.
A concerted effort Of the eastern
men to strengthen their position
was seen In several Informal con-
ferences at which the newly arriv-
ing officials were guests OF local
executives.
The first conference was held at the
Association of Railway Executives
boards rooms. where % rail chiefs
were closeted for several hours. Those
who attended the meeting asserted 1t
was held merely to talk over the presl-
dents latest plan and to enable recog-
niZed leaders to canvass conditions on
roads which had resulted from the first
seven weeks of the shopcrafts' strike.
Officials of southern and western
roads were the first to arrive. of 200
representatives of class l roads. which
are expected to be represented when
Fridays conference-termed the most
momentous in transportation history
is called at the Grand Central terminal.
The .ubterranean drifting of senti-
ment against acceptance of President
Hardings proposal. which until Thurs
day seemed to be confined to few of
the more belligerent eastern roads.
now appears to dominate among the
executives here for the conference.
Their attitude is that the shop
craftsmen already have lost the strike
and that. by accepting the strike lead
ers. challenge to fight to the finish"
their shop forces soon will be recruited
to normal strength and the power of
union is disintegrated.
Southern and western roads. how
ever. are not faring so well. ii is frank
lv admitted. because most of their
shops are situated far from the big
labor centers. where non-union forces
are most easily recruited to replace
the strikers. Their representatives
came here prepared to vote for ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Hardings plan. it was

dents request. and throw the whole

DEMOCRATS TO OBJECT.

Washington, Aug 10--Agreement
! between the United States and Ger
many under which ii commission viii
be named 10 pass upon American claim
growing out of the war was assured
general support by republican leaders
Thursday night. but there was promise
of sharp democratic criticism on the
ground that the commission could not
act without approval of congress. The
agreement as announced Thursday
night by the state department was in
terpreted as serving to annul the plan
Of Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
democratic leader, whose bill, propos-
ing an American commission to pass
upon American claims and to authorize
utilization of German property held by
the alien property custodian TO meet
such claims. if necessary, still is in
the hands of the senate Judiciary sub
committee Chairman Cummins Thurs
day night said the committee would
meet soon, possibly this week, to con-
slider its report on the bill.
Senator Underwood could not be
reached Thursday night, but close as
sociates with whom he has discussed
the question said he held that the
president did not have the power to
establish claims commission inde-
pendent of congress.
Republican leaders said the agree
ment would mean the dropping of the
plan for a treaty with. Germany set
ting up a joint claims commission.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are known to have discussed
recently with republican leaders the
plan adopted for an executive agree
ment with Germany instead of a
treaty, thus avoiding necessity of OBJ
tanning senate ratification with its
prospects of long fight. in view of SEN
ator Underwoods proposal for an
American commission.
Along with whom the matter was
discussed recently was Senator Borah
of Idaho. republican member of the
foreign relations committee and leading
'irreconcilablc" toward the Versailles
treaty. who Thursday night expressed
at the procedure adopted.
81 have no doubt as to the propriety
of the executive proceeding in this
way" said Senator Borah. IL am par
ticularly gratified over the arrange
ments for two Americans to sit on the
commission"
Senator Borah said there were many
in diplomatic procedure for
the plan pursued. notably. he said. the
Alsop claim against Chill, which was
settled by former Secretary OF State
Knox without reference to congress.
Other republican leaders said the
plan provided merely
for establishing the claims against Ger
many and Germans and the amounts.
but that a commission could not pro-
vide for their settlement and would
not have jurisdiction over the German
taken over by the alien prop
erty cutodan. The latter, under the
Versailles and Berlin treaties. still
remains for the disposal of congress,
they held.
Senate leaders said they did not ex-
pcct Senator Underwood to drop his
bill. but rather anticipated he would
press it more vigorously, in view of the
new situation. and demand an express
sion from congress. both on the matter
of an American commission to pass
on American claims and on the disposi
ton Of seized German property.
