PORTER SAVES THIRTY
is PULLMAN Gar BURNS
Railroad Officials Say Loss OF Life
Averted BY Prompt
Action


Seattle.-The lives of 90 passengers
were imperilled. N man was seriously
injured and several other persons re
ceived cuts, burns and bruises when
the rear sleeper on the westbound
Columbian flyer on the Chicago, MI
waukee & st. Paul railroad was de-
stroyed by fire neal Rye, 1870 miles
east of here.
Railroad officials say loss of life
was averted by the prompt action Of
William Wilson. the negro porter. who
ran through the car awakening the
sleeping passengers and helping them
to safety.
Wilson was given credit by the pas
sengers also for saving the remainder
of the train. Fighting his way through
the screaming, fear-stricken passen-
gers, he reached the emergency cord.
Almost before the train had come. to a
stop he was out and had uncoupled the
car. BY this time, the flames were
sweeping the length of the coach.
The cause of tn, fire is not definite
ly known, but railroad officials say 1t
probably resulted from a defective
fuse. 1t started in the woman's dress
ing room and had made great Roadway
before 1t was discovered.

ORIGINATED THE: GOLD STAR
Medal Showing Appreciation of tho
Idea Is Presented to J. M.
Buck Of Omaha, Neb.

A medal purchased with funds given
by the governors of many states, Gen
eral Pershing and a hundred notables
In civil and military circles, has been
presented to J. NJ. Buck of Omaha,
Neb., who originated the gold star
which was placed on the caskets of all
war dead to be returned to this coun-
try from European battlefields.
Omaha was a distributing point for
the United States graves registration
service. After the federal agency be-
gan to return bodies from overseas,
thousands of caskets passed through
Omaha. Mr.. Buck suggested to the
Omaha American Legion that a gold
star be placed on each soldiers casket.
The Legion Immediately accepted the
idea and through the Legion's organi-
~zation, the custom Of placing the star
on all soldiers caskets In all parts of
the United States was adopted.
Every contingent of soldier dead ar
riving at Omaha was met at the rail-
way station by a delegation from the
American Legion. Mr.. Buck always
accompanied the Legionnaires and SUI
pervised the placing of the stars on
the caskets. The medal was presented
Mr.. Buck as an expression Of appreci-
Ation of his work.

Hong Kong.-The toll of the typhoon
of August 2 at Swallow has now
mounted to $4,000 dead. Coffins are
lacking to provide decent burial for
many and the bodies are being inferred
in gunnSsacks.
The new figures on lives lost, almost

2S,000 bodies of victims of the Swa-

counted for.
Benevolent societies attempting to
care for the dead, are using mattress
covers and old bags as collins for the
myriad of dead could not be provided
for otherwise. Charitable organiza-
lions of Hong Kong are combining to
organize effectual measures for the
relief of the stricken city.

to the two previously reported ashore

EMIT STRIKE
HARDING OvERTUREs FAIL
Neither Side In Mood To Accept Peace
Proposals.; Strikers Forecast For
NAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Taking Strike Vote

Washington. President Harding's
new proposals. for ending the railroad
shop crafts strike have met spoken re-
bluffs from both railway and union
leaders.
In addition, the leaders of the strik-
ing unions have called into conference
at Washington the heads Of other
unions connected with the railway SER
vice.
This call was accompanied by sug-
gestions by B. M. Jewell that the other
unions will shortly find 1t necessary
to "refuse to work on defective equip
ment"-adding that he did not expect
strike action to be proposed at the
general conference.
AT the Same time, the Railroad La
Dor board voted willingness to act upon
the issue of seniority which now di-
vides the executives OF the roads and
their striking shop crafts; and LOO
t~elegraphers on the Big Four road
have begun taking a strike vote.
As a final call" from the govern
ment for immediate settlement OF the
rail strike, President Harding COM
municated to railroad executives and
heads of the striking shop crafts
unions, proposals that the men be sent
back to work, that the homogeneous
take them back, and that adjustment
of the crucial seniority issue be left to
decision of the Railroad Labor board.
Though the president was said to
consider this the only practical course
the government could take, union
spokesman, indicating its rejection,
have summoned their associates to
meet here to pass upon the proposal
and called to Washington for general
conference, the heads of all railroad
labor organizations to consider meth
DDS of cooperation that might make
the strike more effective.
The rail executives have made no
response to the White House, though
press dispatches indicate that they also
will meet to frame a collective answer.

SENATE RISES AGAINST
The Flexible TARIFF
PROPOSAL To Let Executive Vary Rates
Denounced AS Astounding and
Dangerous

Washington.-Flexible tariff pro-
,~isions designed to carry out President
landings recommendation TO congress
asst December, met with such strong
opposition in the senate that their fate
n the voting hat must come under
he unanimous consent agreement, APP
'eared to be in doubt.
1t seemed to be fairly certain that
Sefore they could be approved, they
would have to be modified to an even
.reater extent than proposed in a Sub
Stitute for the original plan reported
by the finance committee majority.
Virtually all the Democrats and a num-
Yer of Republicans, including Chair
nan Gooding and other leaders of the
'gricultural-tariff bloc, have indicated
their opposition to the provisions in
any form, while others on the major
ity side have insisted Upon a sharp
curtailment of the broad authority the
committee has proposed shall be given
% the president.
Under the committee substitute, the
chief executive would be authorized to
Increase or decrease tariff rates with
n a radius of 80 per cent if investi-
alton developed that such action wefs
necessary to equallze "the differences

principal markets of the United States

Effort To End Both Strikes Being
Foredoomed To Fail; kilograms
Ask %"Rejection" Presi-
dents Offer

Observation-Disclosures Harding has
asked congressional leaders, in view
of the %rienacing industrial situation
arising from coal INT rail strikes, to
hold the house, BOW in recess, continu-
ously in session along with the senate
The prospect was that, failing early
settlement of the labor controversies,
the administration might call for leg
lslatlve action to enable the govern
ment to cope with conditions which
thus far have failed to react %favorably
to efforts on the part of the executive.
Suggestions were advanced that con-
gress might be asked to authorize re-
sumption of federal control over the
railroad systems should President
Harding find 1t impossible to termin-
ate the strike satisfactorily, with the
further possibility that direct legisla-
ton amending the transportation act
might be sought to make the Railroad
Labor board decisions in wage matters
binding upon arrangements and EN-
ployes.
Tfyre also was a proposal in some
quarters that jurisdiction might be
given the board by law over differ
snces which arise during the strike, as
lid the present seniority issue.
Meanwhile. the leaders of all union
organizations in the transportation
field began to gather in Washington
for a conference to determine the re-
sponse which shall be made to Presi-
lent Harding's latest offer of a settle
ment basis for the seven railroad
lnions now on strike and TO determine
as WE'LL according to statement of
hose who will participate. what joint
or cooperative action the labor forces
shall take in case the presidents offer
is rejected.
B. NJ. Jewell, chairman of the group
Of officers of the striking unions. de-
elared that he had received hundreds
of kilograms from locals of the shop
crafts, telling us to reject the presi-
dents offer and not a single one asking
Its acceptance"

Senate Sets 3.2 cents Duty; Refuses
Bounty OF se,5oo,ooo To Pot
ash Producers

Washington.-The senate has APP
proved an increase of three-tenths of
a cent a pound in the tariff on sugar;
rejected a plan for a government
bounty of S9,500,OO for domestic pot
ash producers, and rescinded its for
mer action in voting an impost of two
cents a pound ON white arsenic. Pot
ash and white arsenic were placed on
the free list.
The sugar rate of 2.3 cents a pound
was a compromise between the %
cents duty urged by Louisiana cane
and western beet sugar producers, and
the 2 cents proposed by the house and
approved by the finance committee
majority. 1t is three-tenths of a cent
above the tariff in the existing emer-
gency act and los cents above hat in
the Underwood act.
The compromise was offered by SEN
ator Smoot, of Utah, ranking Republi-
can on the finance committee. and was
accepted by the same vote as that by
which the senate rejected the rs cents
duty, 81 to 80.
