Chicago, July 13.-A fiat refusal to
meet with B. NJ. Jewell, head OF the
striking shopmen, to discuss peace
proposals was the answer last mght
of railway executives to a proposal
made by Ben W. Hooper, chairman
of the United States Railroad LABOR
Board.
In a letter to Mr.. Hooper the eX-
ecutive declared that the issue raised
is not one for consideration between
the carriers and the representatives
of the organized crafts on strike eX-
cept through the further orderly pro
cesses before the United States Kali
road Labor Board"
Asserting that the strike was re-
fusal to accept the results of the aro'-
tration of the Labor Board, the letter
declared that no conference contingent
upon the abandonment of the decision
of the board was permissible nor toll
cradle, because it would place the car
rierS participating therein in appar-
ent cooperation with those on strike
in seeking to find means to subvert the
decision of the Labor Board"
The letter added, however, that "a
prompt recall of the strike order would
permit the resumption of former
methods of conference and permit the
resumption of former methods Of con-
ference and permit the consideration
of any matters which representatives
Of employees might desire to submit y

"Replying to your inquiry of Messrs.

occasion of your call this morning, we

cppv1CE IS FITRTHER HAMPERED BY STRIKE
See No Reason To Doubt That Carriers Wn RESPOND 10
Summons Bv Railroad Labor Board To Further Hear
ing On The Subject.

thoritv to speak for individual COM
panies, we have no reason to belleNc
that meeting between the rallroad
companies and representatives OF the
striking employees can be arranged uh-
der present conditions.
This strike is a refusal to accept
the results of the arbitration OF the
United States Railroad Labor Board
pursuent to law, after ex haustlve
hearings in which all parties CON
cerned were fully heard. On June
3Oth last. the board. of which you are
chairman. called a public hearing by
4.1tion to the proper representatives
of carriers and organizations naiheu
in the order of the board for the pur-
pose of an inquiry initiated by the
hoard under Section 313 of the Trans
portation act, 1920. Notwithstanding
the full response by carriers to this
citation, representatives OF the orgdili-
zations. members of which are now on
strike. refused to attend, and persist
ed in their refusal to do so and thereby
aid the board in the performance OF
IS public duty in the further inquiry
into the circumstances relating to the
strike then threatened.
after respectful consideration OF
YOUR inquiry, the conclusion seems
necessarily to follow. because OF the
strike thereafter called in defiance OF
the decision and order of the Labor
Board decision No. 1036-and the
controlling provision OF the Trans
portation act. that the issue thuS
raised is not one for consideration
between the carriers and representa-
tives Of the organized crafts on strike
except through the further orderly
processes before the Railroad Labor
Board as contemplated by the Trans
portation act.
"This conclusion is confirmed by the
statements which have appeared IN the
public press to the effect that these
| representatives are only willing to
abandon this strike and return to serv-
ice on the condition that they be re-
lieved from acceptance OF the mature
decision of the Labor Board in the
case referred to. No conference Tor
tFGt purpose is in our judgment per-
misablc nor tolerable because it would
place the carriers participating there
i'm i'm apparent cooperation with those
on strike in seeking to find means to
subvert the decision of the Labor
! Board.
However, it should be added, we
have no reason to doubt the prompt
response of the carriers of the country
to any summons by the United States
Railroad Labor Board to any further
hearing that NAV be called in connec-
/ ton with this subject in the event the
board should determine upon that
course"
Before receiving the executives re-
ply Mr. Hooper said that his chief
purpose was to arrange conference
between them and Mr.. Jewell.

3 CHILDREN BLOWN
TO BITS BY SHELL

Watertown. n. Y, July 10
Eight children, ranging IN age
from II to 16 years, were blown 10
pieces late yesterday by the expo
sion of a 5-millimeter shell on tne
back porch of a house here occu,
pied by Edward &. Workman ana
William l.. Salisbury.
The she'll, which was owned py
Mr.. Workman, was one when he
had kept as a souvenir and used on
the rear porch to hold the door from
closing. 1t was believed to De
dead.
The children were playing GRO
ouet in the back yard. The shell IS
believed to have either been set OH
by the hot sun or to have Deen
struck by one of the victims with a
crouuet mallet. Windows WITHIN
a radius of two blocks of the eX-
plosion were shattered.

Germany Asks Stay Of Three
Years On Payment Of Debts

idlv to the complete dissolution of the
financial. economic and social life OF
Germany.
The note stated that the 32,000,00O
gold marks due on Saturday were
available if the commission insisted
upon this payment, but recommended
that it also be waived.
The reason for the request for de-
Law on the July payment is that Ger
many is buying wheat to last until the
October harvest Wheat from the
United States for this purpose is now
on the sea, it is explained, and if the
July payments were made there would
not be enough foreign money in the
treasury to meet the wheat bill, it is
claimed. 80 that the German mark
would be further deprecated by new
purchases o. foreign currency or bills.
The commission will hold a special
meeting to discuss the German note,
the text of which will not be published
until the commission has had time to
consider it.
The commission, meantime, has in
Structed the Allied Committee on
Guarantees to hasten its report. either
sending it from Berlin as soon as pos
sible or returning to submit its find

master General he will revert to the
rank of Colonel. He was the Quarter.
master General Of the A. f. r. and
before that was Quartermaster Gen.
eral of the forces long the Mexican
border.
His friends are claiming that never
before was an army supplied so well
during war times as by General Rog-
ers. Many letters have been received
by Senators and members OF the
House urging the retention of Gen
eral Rogers as Quartermaster Gen.
eral for another foUr-year term on the
basis of efficiency.
When General Dawes was chief of
Supplies of the A. f. +. in France un-
der General Pershing, his chief co-or-
dinator was Henry C.. Smither, now
Colonel on the General staff and a
cavalry officer. He and General
Dawes were very friendly IN France,
and General Dawes has a high cSt4-
mate of Smither. When Dawes was
appointed Director of the Budget he
took Smither over with him.
1t was believed by many that Gen
eral Dawes would insist upon Colonel
Smither being appointed to succeed
him as Budget Director, but he recon-
mended General Lord, and Lord was
appointed.
Now General Dawes wants Colonel
Smither appointed as Quartermaster
General. He took the matter up with
President Harding on his trip last
week to Marion.
There is considerable bad feeling
among army officers over this appoint
ment, the friends Of both Rogers and
Smither urging that a third man be
appointed if their candidate cannot
have it. The friends of Rogers are
for anybody except Smither if Ro-
gers is not reappointed, and the
friends of Smither feel the same
wav towards Rogers.
President Harding is puzzled over
the matter wishing not to offend eth
er of the officers or their friends. He
is expected to turn the appointment
over to General Pershing rather than
choose from between the two himself.
There appears to be no clear guide
line as to which officer will be Gen
eral Pershing's choice.

Washington, d. c.. July, 1S.+The
Ninth District of Virginia will elect
a republican to the House of Repre-
sentatives in November regardless Of
whether Congressman c. BascOm
Slemp is again a candidate, it was

Mr.. Summers came TO Washington
10 confer with Attorney General
Daugherty in regard to the handling
of the railroad strike situation in the
Western part of Virginia. There have
been a few labor disturbances there,
he said. but none has been serious.
He believed that the railroad strike
situation in Virginia could be worked
out without trouble or serious clashes,
he said.
District Attorney Summers ridi-
culed the claims of Harry F. Byrd,
Democratic State Chairman. that the
democrats will carry the Ninth dis
trict this fall by a good majority.
"Mr. Byrd's claim that the demo-
Gratis will carry Bristol city by 400
| is ridiculous" asserted Mr.. Sum
mcrS. "There are only three counties
in the Ninth, Giles, Pulaski and Rus
sell, that the democrats can carry, and
allowing for their most extravagant
claims for those three and for Bris-
tol city, they will lose the other
counties of the district and the dis
trict entire by between 1000 and 3

HEADS REFUSE
OFFER OF PEACE TALK
WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
Especial CorreSDOndenv0

Washington, July 13.-Informa-
tion that the Hague conference had
been abandoned caused but little
surprise at the State Department.
Officials anticipated from the start
of the conference that unless the
Russians showed an entirely differ
emf attitude from that which they
assumed at Genoa that the Powers
would be unable to deal with them
on a reasonable basis.
The general impression in official
circles in Washington is that the
abandonment of the conference vii!
hasten the fall of Bolshevism mas
much as the Soviet government has
reached the end of its string in the
effort to effect an international loan
through which the Russian financial
and industrial situation might have
been materially relieved and pro-
duction on large scale started.
Reversion to system whereby
the Soviets will grant huge conces-
sions to foreign syndicates for the
operation of oil fields and other
natural resources in Russia is antic-
ipated.
From the outset Of the Hague
conference, to which this govern
ment was invited, officials here have
looked for no other result than
failure because the Soviet officials
were steadfastly standing by their
determination not to give guaran-
ties of the safety of life and proper
ty in Russia.
