CHARGES FRAUD
in DURANT SUIT
Goss, Defendant, Says Motor
King Fleeced Him of
S1,1OO,000.

DETROIT, Aug. 2.-William C.
Durant, motor king. is charged with
defrauding Arnold H. Goss. of De-
troit, of s1.100.oo0 in Goss's answer
filed today in Federal Court to Du-
rants suit for 100000. Durant
charges Goss with misappropriation
of 1900 shares of Chevrolet stock
loaned to him.
Back of the suit is the inside"
story of the fight of the former head
of General Motors to retain his place
as president of that corporation.
Goss says he was used" by Durant
in the latter's plan to regain his
place in General Motors. His answer
says he will offset his claims against
Durant's IL the Federal Court gives
damages to Durant.
The suit charges Goss with taking
1900 shares of Chevrolet stock into
his keeping with the promise to re-
turn them upon demand; that Mr..
Goss converted the stock to his own
uss and since failed to pay back the
money he is said to owe.
Goss declares he returned all stock
loaned to him by Durant. which he
held under orders of Durant in his
plan to reinstate himself in control
of General Motors through the Chew
rolet Motor Car Company. of Della,

and that he would take advantage
OF the occasion to- point that
the full responsibility, for, continu-
alton of the strike rests how upon
the executives.
In some quarters it was predict
ed he would invite the strikers TO
60 back to work at once and leave
the seniority question to he settled
by the Railroad Labor Board. Un-
der this plan the men would de-
mand their old standing, and when
this was denied them they could
carry the case to the Labor Board,
the authority of which each side
has now agreed to recognize. This
plan. however, was declared to be
unlikely by Senators who took part
in the writing of the Cummins-
Esch law. They took the view that
the Labor Board could not properly
assume jurisdiction. over the senior
ity question unless each side asked
it to.

An interesting inside" story of
how the Presidents peace pla n
failed went the rounds in Washing
ton yesterday. 1t was asserted on
good authority that the plan which
the White House announced Tues
day, and which the executives SO
promptly rejected, is not the same
which Mr.. Harding tentatively pro-
posed to T. Dewitt Cuyler at the
White House Thursday. The Presi-
det's original proposal, it was said.
contained five points. The one he
made public Tuesday contained onlv
three. Just what notifications
were made could not be learned
but they were believed to have re-
lated TO the seniority question and
that they were important enough
to have placed a complete new view
on the settlement outlook. So far
as the so-called original settlement
plan was concerned. Ii was reiter-
ated Yesterday BY qualified spokes-
men that both Cuyler and W. w.
Atterbury. operating head of the
Pennsylvania system. were agree
able to Its acceptance.

The Baltimore and Ohio train from
Chicago. due here at 1:15 D. m., did
not put in appearance until Il;
while the New York train on the
same road scheduled to arrive in
Washington at 10 .. m. did not
get in until 1920. The fast Mem
phis Special, running on Southern
tracks. due here at 1890, did not
pull into the Terminal yards until
1:25 this morning. The Atlanta

Southern, arrived one hour late.
The Seaboard Airline train from
Jacksonville and other Southern
points supposed to be in Wash

until 1905 p. m.
Continued observation of Union
Station crowds has proved conclu-
sively that the strike is felt here.
Each successive day of the walk
out brings a marked decrease in
travelling and a noticeable thinning
out of the crowds.
Talks with representatives of the
