DAYS OF ACTIVITY
FOR PROHIBITION

New York, July Performances,
mysterious plotting, the farey Sof
rockets telling of ship In trouble,
baffled officials, clever police deduc-
tions-all these things and more fig-
ured today in the campaign Of pro-
hibition enforcement agents against
the ever busy bootlegger. !,
There was a woman-an alleged
seagoing bootlegger-whow was linked
up with two ships which have been
seized; there was a plot to substitute
thousands of gallons of water for
good liquor in storage here; and there
was the seizure of three ships, all
heavily ladened with ilquor-and all,
it is assumed, coming from some
mysterious cargo vessel which is wal
lowing at anchor perhaps Is miles
off New York harbor.
Early this morning a coast guard,
walking along the sandy shore at
Point O'Woods, off Long Island, saw
the flare of a ships rocket. He warn
ed his station, and the surf boat went
out to bar where the sloop j. H.
p" had rammed hard and fast. The
coast guardsmen boarded her and
found her low in the water with a
cargo of 1900 cases of liquor valued
at $4,000.
The guard got the boat off into
deeper water only to find she was SO
heavily ladened that she could not
make good steerage way. So the
revenue cutter Manhattan was sum-
moned from New York and late today
reported by wireless that she was
coming down the coast with the 81.

his statement that the basis for the
proposed settlement of the strike had
not been definitely drawn up, earlier
reports indicated that at least q ten
tative plan had resulted from the con-
ferences held during the day between
President Harding and leaders of the
various railroads labor groups.
President Harding has made no spe-
cific request to the railroad execu-
tives, Mr.. Cuyler said when asked if
the question Of seniority rights had
been brought forward at the confer
ence with view to influencing some
railroads to reconsider their stand
against returning these rights to
striking shopmen.
The executives chairman said he
was unable to foretell whether action
in the strike situation would be held
in allegiance until the New York meet.
ing. The four day delay was neces-
sary, he explained, in order that rep
resentatives of railroad managements
might all get to the meeting place.
Tentative proposals for the settle
ment of the railroad shopmen's strike
were drawn up today after series
of conferences between President
Harding and labor leaders headed by
b. M. Jewell of the shopmen's union.
1t was understood that the suggest
ed plan for settlement-details of
which were withheld by those partic-
ipating in its formulation-wou be
submitted later to executives of the
railroads.
The settlement proposals apparent
ly had reference to the seniority issue,
which it was generally agreed was the
sole remaining bar to conclusion of
the railroad war-or at least of an ar
mistice in the struggle.
Should the railroad executives ac-
cept the plans, it was said, rehear-
ing Of issues which led to the strike
would be held before the railroad la
Dor board, and all other questions left
to adjudication through such a pro-
ceeding.
The labor union officials, through B.
M. Jewell, president of the railway
employees section of the American
Federation of Labor, declared they
could not comment upon the substance
of their discussions with the president
except that every point in the strike
controversy had been gone over. W..
H. Johnson, president of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists; J. A..
Franklin, president of the boilermak-
