The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1922-07-08

Chicago, July S.-With rioting re-
ported in many sections of the
country. rail union officials at head
quarters here expressed hope for a
quick settlement. They plainly
feared that II the strike is drawn
out much longer, rioting will get be-
yond control of police officials in
some shop centers.
Bert NJ. Jewell. president of the
shop crafts union, awaited move
by the United States labor board, or
the railroad managers which would
bring about settlement. At the
same time he reiterated that the
strike remained 100 per cent eff
fective.
Chances Are Reduced.
The possibility of quick peace
agreement was believed greatly re-
duced by announcement by Ben W.
Hooper, chairman of the labor board,
that the men would have to return
to work before the board would con-
slider entering into any conference
BY returning to the shops, the
men would be forced to accept the
5OO00,G0 a year wage cut which
went into effect July 1.-THE main
grievance which caused the walk
out
AT the same time announcement
of decision by the board that other
classes of workers could not be re-
auired by railroad employers to
take up the jobs of the strikers, was
considered a conciliatory move.
The strike, one week old today,
was becoming more noticeable to
the travelling public.
Some Trains Discontinued.
Railroads operating out of Chicago
are announcing temporary discon-
tinuance of additional trains daily
Through passenger service has not
been seriously disrupted, but most
Of the trains affected serve subur-
ban districts.
The railroad signal men union
chiefs met here today to consider a
proposition resented by the labor
hoard which would prevent their
threatened strike.
Walkout of the signal men, rail-
road officials agreed, would have
an immediate serious effect on all
traffic.
D. w. Helt, head of the union, re-
fused to give any indication of what
action he believed his executive
hoard would take before the meet
ing. but it was believed in circles
close to the labor board that an I'M
mediate walk-out would pe pre-
vented.

Little Surprise Here.
(BY The United Press.)

Washington, July 8.-Little sur
prise would be caused in admins
tration circles by the collapse of the
German government. State depart
ment and commerce department of
ficials in close touch with the Ger
man political and financial situation
have felt for some time that a
crisis was near.
The assassination of Foreign Min.
lister Rathenau, one state depart
ment official said, has encouraged
the monarchists to renew their eff
forts against the republican govern
ment. He believes the monarchist
activities may be expected to in
crease, terminating in a bloody
battle. If the present government
is well prepared it will survive.
otherwise it will fall, this official
said.
Situation Critical.
Commerce department heads re-
ceived dispatch from Commercial
Attache Herring at Berlin, stating
that the politics and financial situ-
ations were critical. Police are sup
pressing anti-republican demonstra-
tions, he said. The real crisis will

Washington, July S.-With opera

the return of President Harding was

Government Has Plan.

Hoover and Davis refused to COM
ment on the conferences beyond adj
mitting that the government had a
plan of settlement worked out. This
plan probably will be submitted Mon
day or Tuesday if the weekend
shows no change in the situation.
The cabinet officials hoped earlier
in the week for a tentative settle
ment of the differences between the
anthracite operators and miners for
its happy influence on the bitumi-
nous section. The two sessions,
however, split on the rock of the
miners demand, it is understood.
The miners insist that the eight
hour day, recognition of the union
and the present wage scale shall be
the basis of negotiations. The min
ers insist they will not agree to
federal arbitration until the opera
tors accept this program.
