Washington, July Is. - Storm
clouds overhanging both the coal and
rail strikes grew more menacing with
the beginning of the new week, with
the prospects that the Government
would take drastic action within the
next 81 or 48 hours in both crises.
The seriousness of the coal situa-
ton was emphasized by the bloody
battle fought yesterday morning near
Wellsburg, Brooke county, w. Va, be-
tween striking miners and county Of
ficias and mine guards IN which at
least four men, including the Sheriff
of Brooke county, were killed and a
score wounded. The fight grew out
of an attack on nOn-union mine by
strikers. who, before being driven off,
succeeded in burning several mine
buildings.
Dispatches indicate new battle is
feared when an effort is made to evict
the strikers from a tent colony which
they occupy on land of coal COM
pany.
President Harding receiving the ac-
ceptance of the majority of the bit
luminous coal OptI dtOlS VI no PiN
posal for the settlement of the strike
told the operators to go home and
begin at once the operation of their
mines. A majority of the operators
pledged their readiness to open the
mines under the Governments pro
nosal. Some producers, however, baIk-
ed.
The President, in response to the
operators reply, said the Administra-
tons efforts toward voluntary ad-
iustment were without avail and
hinted that the full power of the
Government would be used to guard
the mines to see that the produc-
ton of coal was resumed, so as to
assure the country's supply Of fuel.

Especial Correspondence

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-Upon
his return to Washington today after
a two weeks vacation Congressman
c. Bascom Slemp reiterated his de-
termination not to again be candi-
date for Congress from the Ninth dis
trict on the republican ticket.
He found at his office on his re-
turn a number of kilograms and let
ters from friends in the Ninth dis
trict urging him TO continue TO rep
resent the Ninth district in the House,
and asserting that the republican dis
trict convention at Norton on Thurs
day, July goth, will again nominate
him in spite of his announced in
tention to retire and will insist upon
his acceptance. He refused to be
swayed, however, and issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE convention at Norton on
Thursday promises to be the largest
ever held in the District. Some of
the counties having instructed their
delegates for me | must ask them not
to present my name. AS I have pre-
viously stated it is imperative that l
look after my health and under no
circumstances can | make the race.
Just as soon as my successor is nomi-
mated people will all settle down to
the new conditions and we will march
on to the usual republican victory"
Mr.. Slemp is leaving Washington
Wednesday morning for some un-
known destination. He is not going to
Norton, he said. and it is improbable
that it will be possible to reach him
nv telephone on Thursday should the
Norton convention insist on nominat-
ing him over his protest and try to
obtain his acceptance by telephone.
He said he felt much better than
when he went away two weeks ago
for a vacation and has felt much re-
ieved since his announcement of his
intention to quit Congress and de-
vote his time to private business.
Mr.. Slemp asserted there are four
or five good republicans in the Ninth
district who can win the election

Chicago, July 1S.-With peace par

the shopmen's strike became increas-

the stationary engineers, firemen,
oilers and others to those already
out Timothy Healy, president Of the
stationary mems organization, declar-
ed that not only the membership Of
the union-about 8,000-but num-
Der of non-union men, bringing the
total to around $4,000, walked out
yesterday morning.
Reports from various sections of
the country tell of the going out of
track and additional shopmen.
Railroad officials at the Pennsyl-
vania shops at Wilmington, Del, state
that there are now $40 men out.
Approximately 100000 railroad
clerks, freight handlers and station
and eXpressmen are either taking a
strike vote, or are expected 20 take
one, according to information receiy-
ed at Headquarters of Brotherhood
of Railway and Steamship Clerks,
Freight Handlers, Station and EX-
press Men at Cincinnati. Grand Presi-
dent Fitzgerald of the organization,
declares that whenever the constitu-
tional majority for strike on any
road or system is secured he will sane
ton a strike.
In addition it is announced by the
American Federation of Railroad
Workers that nearly $4,000 more
workers may join in the walkout this
week. Already $4,000 of these men are
out.
Following the conferences between
Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the
Labor Board, and leaders of the strik-
ing shopmen last week negotiations
apparently are deadlocked.
