Ordinarily wage negotiations IN the
Unanimous industry have been begun
between an organization Of operators In
what is known as the central compct-
tive field. including Pennsylvania. Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois, and the union. The
agreement reached in this area has been
tho basis Of similar agreements in all
the union outlying districts.
Certain of tho operators have given
notice that they would not renew the
wage negotiations this year in associa-
tion with other sections OF the central
field" on the ground that West Virginia
wage scales. chiefly non-union. were the
chief competitive factor.
Secretary Hoover some weeks ago In
duced the operators to meet with Presi-
dent Lewis. and submitted q proposition
that the entire question be submitted to
arbitration. This the union representa-
tives refused on the ground that the
constitution Of their organization for
,hadc the submisston OF the question to
outside arbitration In advance OF dlrect
negotiations with the employers. This
position has remained unchanged al
though Mr.. Lewis was called TO Wash
ington last week for u conference with
Secretary Hoover.

FIRST SPECIFIC PROPOSALS TO END STRIKE
Harding Says GoUernment POWerless to Interfere With
 '. M. Workers Attitude

LANSING, Mich, July 28-Presi- dent Harding in a letter to Gov ernor Brosbeck of this state declared in effect that the Federal Govern ment was powerless to interfere with the attitude of the United Mine Work CTS towards independent local agree ments between the mine owners and their employees. The letter was writ ten in response to an appeal by the governor following the refusal of the national officers of the union to allow the governor to settle the strike as far as Michigan was con- cerned. Harding said that at present there was nothing to be done eX- cept to see that such men as wished to work were protected from vio- lence and that the state and Federal Government would cooperate to that end. He declared that the big issue in the present coal strike was the attempt at uational dictation which had been "unhestitatingly assumed by the mine workers and which must be taken care of by legislation"

PUGET SOUND
 PASSENGER STEAMERSUNK

SEATTLE, July 28.-The Japan- csc freighter Hawii Maru collided with the Puget Sound passenger steamer Calista, just before noon yes terday off West Point. The sound was buried in a dense fog at the time which was rendered more i'm petrable by being impregnated with the smoke and haze from the forest fires Several tugs were rushed to wireless message received from the Hawii Maru reported that all hands were saved. The Calista carrying forty passengers and a crew of ten men, was inbound from Whidby Is- land while the Japanese boat was outbound when the collision Cc- cured. The Calista sank in twenty minutes and is a total loss. Nothing but prompt action in launching the life, boats saved the lives of the pas sengers and crew. The Hawii Maru
 
 had thirty-nine passengers for Ja pan and great excitement prevailed on board when the boats struck The fog at the time was as dense as has ever been reported in the sound. A lighthouse keeper, only few hundred feet from the sceneof the accident reported that he could not see the ships. !"
 It was officially announced here to- day that the Japanese freighter Hawii Maru would be detained in port pending an official investiga- ton into the loss of the Calista which was rammed and sunk by the freight ter in a dense fog off West Point yesterday.

 NIGHTS FIGHT

NEW YORK, July 2S.-A majority of the sports writers who last night witnessed the twelve round bout in Jersey City between Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion and Lew Tender of Philadelphia, expressed themselves as being of the opinion that the champion had a shade the better of the fight. It was node cision affair. It was reported after the battle that Referee Ertle fav- ored Tender, but the Referee pos itively denied this and refused to give an opinion. The fight was fast and clever throughout and the fans present received their moneys worth. A big crowd saw the battle and cheered impartially for both fighters The men were evenly matched and to the non-expert eye picking winner would be a difficult job. It prob able that Tender will be given an- other go at the champion in the near future.

LEONARD IS FIRST CHOICE

JERSEY CITY, July 2S.-The con- census of opinion is that the hon. ors in the Leonard Tender go were won by the champion. The newspa- permen differ as to the result Some of them openly take Tenders side and declared he had the best of it. A survey of the morning papers dis closes that the majority of the sports writers are for the champion. A few assert that the battle was a draw. The first five rounds were won by Tender, but Leonard fin ished stronger than his opponent. After the fight when asked why he did not knock Tender out, Leonard replied that Tender was hard to solve"

RaillUdy Labor Board Puts F0rWdrd Suggestions To
 End RaiL Strike

CHICAGO, July 2S. - The sugges tions put forward by Railroad Labor Board looking to end the railway strike are as follows: The basis Of the settlement hinges on an adjust ment of the seniority issue It is pro- posed that all former employees of the company who refused to strike, or re- turned within the time limited in the ultimatum of the roads shall be placed at the head of the lists. Following them shall come the strike breakers in the order they were in before the walk out, and who are to retain their senior itv as modified by the advancement or the loyal employees. Next in order come the strikebreakers who have en- tered the shops since July 1. These latter are to retain their positions but not to have seniority over the old men. The wage scale announced by the board for July is to be placed in effect pending further discussion Of fha merits of it, and the railroads are to promise to abandon the practice Of contracting their work in outside shops.

RESULTS OF A. p. SURVEY

COLUMBIA, Ohio, July 28.-A sur vey of the industrial and economic conditions of the State Of Ohio as af- fected by the present coal and railway strikes has been completed by the As sociated Press. It shows that the en- tire national guard is mobilized, some of the troops being still in their ar mories, and other attachments being concentrated with full riot equipment at the centers of coal productionl Thousands of workmen are idle ir- respective of the men who walked out in the strikes, due to the hampering effect of the strikes on other lines of business. The public utility compan- ies and most of the manufacturing con- cerns are facing an imminent coal shortage. The blast furnaces and steel mills are banking their fires. and thousands of their employees are taking involuntary lay-offs. Freight movements are generally delayed, al though no serious situation has yet accrued here. The shipping on the Great Lakes is facing shut down for lack of fuel All rail service is cur tailed, many passenger trains having been suspended. Domestic coal stocks are largely depleted and general busi- ness is already beginning to feel the dead hand of the strikes.
