FINISH FIGHT in
RAIL DIFFERENCE
AS PEACE FAILS
Negotiations to Settle Difficult
ties Abruptly Broken
off in East.
JEWELL is CONFIDENT
Labor Leaders Dispatch Tele-
grams to Members to Re-
new Struggle.

NEW YORK. Aug 25.-(By A.
P)-The rail strike today developed
into a fight to the finish when
peace negotiations were blown sky
high.
Heads Of the big five railway
brotherhoods. acting as mediators
between executives and striking
shopmen in a final effort TO effect
separate settlement with individual
roads after the Association OF Rail-
way Executives as a whole had re-
5ected the running trades first peace
overtures. reported 20 the represen-
tatives Of II roads at the Yale club
this morning that the shop crafts
had turned down proposition made
to them yesterday by the carriers.
Negotiations then we're sharply
broken off and executives strike
leaders and brotherhood chiefs
packed up their bags and began
leaving town prepared for a test
Of endurance.
Before he departed for his head
quarters in Chicago. 3 NJ Jewell
official spokesman for the strikers,
asserted that he believed the exc
cutives who had fingered for the
parley on individual settlements
soon would be enabled "to bring
home to their hard-shelled col
leagues the railway situation in its
grim reality"
Secs Equipment DeteriOrating.
we shall be content 10 let the
condition Of equipment prove that
the railways cannot operate with
unskilled strike breakers" declared
Mr.. Jewell. adding later that I'VE
can and we will fight for our
terms and for a nationwide settle
ment"
Labor leaders then dispatched tel
egrams TO all parts OF the country,
calling upon strikers TO renew the
struggle with redoubled vigOr.
The latest peace proposal, CEN
tering as was the case with all the
others on the question Of seniority.
briefly was that roads interested in
individual settlements would pledge
themselves 10 find employment for
all strikers not convicted OF acts
OF violence: would not curtail pen
sion rights cor other privileges"
and would agree 10 submit 10 a
commission Of 10 brotherhood lead
ers and executives all disputes which
could not be settled by direct con-
ference
Strikers Reject Plan.
The strikers who have maintain
ed that they had not authorized the
big five to suggest individual settle
ments. rejected this proposal with
the explanation that il did not
guarantee seniority 10 the men
might return on one third
Of the country's roads and at the
same time would destroy the effect
iveness OF the strike being carried
on on the other t--o-thirds.
Then. from the mediating broth
erhoOds came the statement that
they reluctantly notified all con-
cerned that they considered further
peace efforts futile and had moth
ing more 10 suggest.

BUSINESS ADVERTISERS.

\ representative of the American
Newspaper Publishers association, in a
speech in Chicago, calls attention to
the surprising increase in newspaper adj
vertising lately. National advertising
campaigns are coming to be the usual
thing, he says Business houses that
never before used any extensive newspa-
per space are doubling and trebling
their newspaper appropriations for this
year"
This has come about, he explains, not
from solicitation or propaganda but
from the necessities of the present-day
business situation Business Organiza-
tons realize more than ever before their
need of such publicity and the immense
field it opens to them.
The speaker mentioned one firm that
started, in 1920, to use advertising
space in a national way for the first
time. Last year it increased the scope
Of its campaign, extending it to several
dozen newspapers in as many cities,
with the result that. in the worst year
in a decade, it was able to declare
seven per cent dividend. This year the
same firm is planning to advertise in
200 cities. Another illustration is that
of a magazine which, by advertising in
the daily papers. increased its circula-
ton from 100000 to 100000,
All this shows clearly that the whole
United States is, for most commodities,
one market, the biggest and richest in
the world, and that the key to it is the
newspaper which goes every day into
the homes of the people who constitute
that market.

One of the reasons that this fine remedy

that In almost every case, the first bottle

that permanent relief will be found If a

A LABOR CONSTITUTION.

Stephen A.; Day, president of the
League for Industrial Justice, an
noances that he proposes to call CON
ference to formulate code to be used
as a basis for settlement of all labor
disputes
The need for such a code. or creed. or
what might be called an industrial
constitution, has long been urged by the
league. President Harding advocated it
in his inaugural address. The leading
thought of the world points to its neces-
sity.
The present situation in the coal in
dustry cOnvinces me that the time has
come to act. | have assurances that the
government will be represented, as well
as the greatest organizations and in
dustries in the country.
There can be no question of the need
of some such statement of principles
upon which capital and labor both may
stand, and to which disputes on separate
cases may be referred, to see in what
respects the arguments of the disputants
square up with the creed, and to make
settlements accordingly. The relations
of capital and labor are in chaotic
state Whether opinion has developed
to the point where such a constitution
could be accepted intellectually by
both sides, and acted on effectively, is
the doubtful point
