EXPLAINS ALLIES
WAR DEBT STATUS
Secy. Mellon Says Each Ma
tion Responsible for
Own Loans.

Each nation which borrowed from
the United States during the world
war gave its own separate obliga-
ton for payment, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon declared in a form
al statement yesterday.
No guarantee Of one borrowing
nation was asked from any other
nation, Secretary Mellon said.
This announcement was made to
answer inquiries which had been
received at the Treasury Depart
ment implying that the British debt
of $4,135, 100000 was incurred by
the British government for the 9TH
er allies and that the United States,
government had forced Britain to
assume obligations for 1t.
All war debts of foreign nations
now owing to the United states had
their origin in purchases made In
this country, and the advances by
the United States were for the pur-,
pose of covering payments of these
purchases, the Secretary said.

Sioux City Labor Body
Urges National Rail Strike

SIOUX CITY. Iowa. Aug. "a
Development of plans for a nation
wide strike of railroad employees,
which would involve at, least 5000. 900
men and tie up the entire business
OF the country, came to light here
today with the passing of a resolu-
tion by the Sioux City Trades and
Labor Assembly calling on the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor to order
such a strike.
According to John Shank, secre-
tary Of the local. assembly, the move
ment has been under way for
month. having originated in Omaha.
Nebr.. where the central labor union
of that city sent broadcast reso-
lutions demanding a national strike
and pledging their life, liberty and
honor In support of it."
The resolutions requested every la
Dor body in the United States to
take similar action. Many of them
including Denver. San Francisco and
Detroit, have already taken action,
Shank said.

Negotiations Between Me-

To Be Resumed.
SENIORITY ISSUE
REMAINS MAIN BAR
Individual s Settlem en- t
Plan Appears Great
est Hope Of Peace.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Rail broth
erhcods mediators and a minority OF
twenty railroad executives failed to
reach an agreement today to end
the shopmen's strike on an individ-
ual road. basis.
After the second long meeting OF
the day, Warren s. Stone. chairman
of the Brotherhood mediators. de-
cIared I'VE are no nearer a solution
than ever"
The brotherhood chiefs left for a
conference with Bert NJ. Jewell and
other shop craft leaders tonight at
which any new proposals submitteo
by the executives were to be pre-
sented.
Call for Showdown.
The executives counter proposals
to the mediators' offer were of a ma
ture. II was learned. to call for a
definite showdown by the shopmen
when the deliberations are resumed
tomorrow morning.
Several large roads previously OPP
posed to Individual agreements cast
their lot with the minority of ex-
ecutives today, bringing the total
mileage represented to $1,000. or 80
per cent of the country's total.
Among the accessions was the
Seaboard Air Line. with S. ID. War
field as spokesman.
VIII Resume Negotiations.
Negotiations between the medi.
ators and executives would be re.
sumed tomorrow, II was stated.
Although both sides still expressed
hope today some agreement might
be reached, II was feared the over
lures would be wrecked on the Sc
niority issue. which had previously
blocked a settlement between the
shopmen and the executives as a
whole.
The executives who met the medi-
ators today made il clear that their
move was not a result of dissension
among the executives and that they
were in agreement with the ma
jority In. Withholding seniority
rights from any returning strikers.
Railroads Stand Pat.
Hale Hclden, president of the
Burlington. who acted as chairman
Of the minority executives organ
ization. declared:
The railroads are still standins
pat on seniority any any individual
settlement will have to be made in
the light of that understanding"
1t was reported that other roaos
might join in considering the in
dividual settlement proposals sug-
gested by the trainmen's leaders
yesterday.
Cuyler Makes statement.
1t was emphasized by T. Dewitt
Cuyler, chairman of the American
Association of Railway Executives.
that the minority was negotiating
largely in an attempt to establish
the good faith of the individual set
tement plan as the shopcraft lead
ers heretofore have resisted all ef-
fort to end the strike on that basis.
For a time today il was believed
the train service brutherhoods would
drop their effort to mediate. As the
Big Five chiefs left a long confer
ence. they announced, "everythins

FIRST DAY In PAIN
Epidemic of Lame Backs
Appears in Illinois as
Pits Reopen.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Aug. "a
There were 10000 lame backs in
Illinois tonight. They belonged to
miners coming out of the pits after
the first days work since April 1.
Production was resumed in every
big mining center throughout the
State and so quickly did cutters get
on the job that coal was raised
from deep shafts late in the day.
By tomorrow daily production will
reach 100000 tons, according to
operators. and by next week Ifli-
nois mines will be turning out 34o,-
600 tons every twenty-four hours.
Sing on wsy to Work.
In Franklin and Williamson coun-
ties operators reported 80 net per
cent of the miners back on the job
and at the big Letter mine In
Franklin-the biggest coal mine in
the world-a crowd of singing,
cheering, happy miners couldn't get
down the shaft buck cts fast enough.
Even the mules, who probably won't
see daylight again until the next
strike, in the bigger mines. seemed
to enter the spirit Of the day, and
cars were run to the lifts in record
time.
The strip mines near Herrin were
not opened as the machinery
wrecked in the massacre has not
been replaced. 1.
In many coal towns, merchants
opened up on credit and happy min
ers' wives were again ordering food
on the scale that they are used to
when the mines are running. Many
miners wives and daughters have
been working to support families
during the strike.
Operators Raise Price.
Resentment was shown by mine
union officials here when. on the
first day of operation. the operators
tilted the price Of coal 31.25 a ton
at the mine.
The new prices go into effect in
this district at once and retailers
h""" =" pay S. a ton at the
mine instead Of $3.75. This price
r..-iiers said. would be imposed on
the public.

Today was a day of mourning in
Dublin. Four officers of the Free

Collins as II lay in the mortuary
chapel of the hospital. Collins was
dressed in his uniform as command

clasped In his hands.
Throughout the day a constant
procession of weeping men and
women passed the bier OF the mar
tyred Irish leader. Hundreds paused
to kiss his forehead or to murmur q
prayer. But Of all the sorrowers
who stopped to honor Collins none
touched the hearts of the nation as

wedding was again postponed. and
as Miss Herman paused at the bier

in sympathy.
Meantime word was received that
