operations in Michigan coal mines.
He was scheduled to confer with
7. Leo Jones, president of district "a,
United Mine Workers of America,
this afternoon regarding the propo-

SEEK SEPARATE PEACE.

-
Chicago, July 24.-7-lnterest in the
railroad strike today was centered
in the separate peace efforts of Of
ficials Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road in their meeting at Baltimore
tomorrow with representatives of the
striking shopmen. Despite the fail
ure last week of similar efforts made
at St. Paul it was confidently pre-
dicted the Baltimore conference
would obtain favorable results.
Should the meeting result in an
adjustment it was expected other
railroads would follow the same
course. B. M. Jewell, head Of thu
shopmen's union refused to comment
on the Baltimore parley, but previ-
ously had acknowledged receiving Of
fers of settlement from number Of
roads. ..., a.. s.... ..
The silence of federal officials to-
day was interpreted as meaning that
President Harding was inclined to
let the situation drift for few days,
while he received the report of Sec
retary Of Labor Davis. 1.a.
That the president might take some
action soon was indicated in his ef-
forts to obtain the facts from all
angles, The conference with Chair
man Hooper and Secretary Davis
meeting at Mooseheart, Illinois, with
strike leaders, member of the la
Dor board and a commission of con-
ciliation of, the department of labor,
seemed to strengthen belief q definite
plan was, being made.
Governor Neff announced that h~
was prepared to send aid to any
points where trains were being de-
layed BY violence or inability of rail-
roads to obtain men, but said that
ample protection could be given by
state rangers and that none of the
Texas national guard would be sent
for the time being. Railroads which
had declared embargoes on perishable
freight continued to enforce the ban
and motor trucks were pressed into
service in several instances. At
Boone, Iowa, motor trucks were be-
ing used to carry mails to and from
the town Of Moingona. ...
Few disturbances were reported
over Sunday. =
B. M. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts had no comment to make on
the situation while Ben Hooper,
chairman of the labor board sat sill
emily in his office telling all sreport-
ers that "there is nothing to give
out" He still declined to discuss his
recent conference with President
Harding or to say whether the presi-
dent had suggested any definite
moves by the board. The statement
by Mr.. Hooper last night that the
board planned no further activity at
present was reiterated.
