By Associated i.ress

St. Louis, July 30.-For the first time in the history of Missouri, wom- en candidates for Congress will have chance Tuesday to show their po- litical strength in primary election. Only one office is now being sought by woman, that of United States senator, for which II men-three democrats, six republicans, one so- cialist and one socialist-laborite- are seeking to win the nomination.
 Woman candidates have announced themselves in several congressional districts. Nearly every slate on the tickets has at least one woman as- pirant.
 Learue,s Strength Tested
 Democrats will be called upon to decide whether the influence of former President Wilson and the League of Nations are still effective or whether the opposition is favored by a majority of the states demo- crats: at least this has been mad Senator James A. Reed and Breck- enridge Long, third assistant secre- tary of state in the Wilson adminis- tration. The third democratic can didate is R. l.. Young.
 While Mir. Reed has been urging his hearers to turn their attention to living issues" and discard the League of Nations as a dead issue, MT, Long has based his campaign principally upon the issues favored by the Wilson administration.
 Throughout the campaign. Senator Reed has referred to his opponent as the Rubber stamp man and "the fish in the city and the camel in the country while MT. Long has retaliated by attacking MT. Reed for his opposition to the Wilson ad- ministration
 The republican campaign has been void of personal attacks, the candi- dates confining themselves to assail- ing the postwar administration of the democratic party. principally the League of Nations and extolling the present administrations Leade:a agree that the contest on the re- publican ticket. will be between Att torney General Barrett and R. R. Brewster of Kansas City, while some rural district leaders concede John c. Mckinley good chance.
 Politicians say they are rather in doubt as to the success of William Sacks. republican. who is making light wines and beers his principal issue.

STRIKE LEADERS RUSH ID SCENE
 IF RAIL MEET
Jewell Keeps Silent on Report That Seniority Issue Will Prove Blockade to Strike
 Settlement
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 30.-With leaders of the striking railway shopmen hurry ing here for Tuesdays conference on President Harding's peace plan, union heads tonight expressed strong hopes that this week would see the end of the walkaut which began July 1.
 Bert M. Jewell. head of the
 shop craft unions, refused com-
 ment on statements made by raiI-
 way executives that the question
 of the restoration of seniority
 rights to the shopmen might pre- vent a settlement. Other strike
 leaders, however, declared that
 when the men went back to work
 they would regain their former
 status.
 From the first union leaders have maintained that the seniority ques- ton had been dragged into the dis- .pute by the carriers, purely as an .ar- sumentive issue to delay negotia- tions on the original grievances wages. working rules and outside contracting by the carriers.
 Length of Service
 Seniority, 1t was explained in rail- way circles, is based on length of service.
 Not only justice. but the public interest, demands that in settlement the seniority rights of all men who are now working shall be recog- niEed," a statement issued by the western railway presidents commit tee on public relations declared. "If hA hox decisions of the railroad labor board and tried to interrupt transportation are favored in any settlement that may be made, the incentive of men to stay at work In case of future strikes will be destroyed. and tn, difficulty of maintaining transporta- tion service increased"
 In speaking for the men who have stayed at work or who have accept ed employment during the strike, l. F.. Loree, chairman of the eastern railway presidents conference, re- gently sent this telegram to Sena- tors Calder and Wadsworth of New York:
 F0rgets Workmen
 So far as I am advised, the Presi- dent has made no effort to inform himself as to the position of the more than lto,uVV snopmen now on railroad pay rolls"
 Somewhat similar sentiments flaw bring the utmost consideration to the men who had remained at their jobs and to those who had been hired was expressed by whitford R. Cole president of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad.
 In discussing the possible future course of negotiations. member oi the labor board said that 1t wa. probable that the decision of the rail- way executives who meet In New York on Tuesday simultaneously with the meeting of the strike leaders in Chicago. would be reported back tc President Harding. He asserted that he did not expect the labor board to figure In the disputes for some time after the actual end of the strike, when questions of wages and working conditions might be referred back to 1t for rehearing.

Constantinople, July 30.--A movement of British troops on the Asiatic side toward Tchatalja began today. The Tchatalja region is quiet, but few shots were ex- changed today between the Turkish gendarmerie and a Greek patrol, three men on each side being wounded.
 Athens, July 30.--A nate sent
 by the Greek government to the
 allies respecting the intentions of ' Greece in Asia Minor emphasizes
 the view that the occupation of
 ConstantinopIe is the only means
 of bringing about peace and says
 Greece has niade arrangements
 with the purpose fin view.
 The note begs the allies to Issue the necessary orders to the army of Brig, Gen. Sir Charles Harrington. commander of the allied forces Tn Constntinople. and says 1t Is conf dent difficulties will not be imposed fin the way of Greece. The note adds that by the naturalization of Constntinople the allies are protect- ing, instead of coercing Turkey. and thus depriving Greece of means fer imposing peace.
 Demands Urgent
 The Turkish atrocities. the note continues, make it vital for Greece to adopt more energetic measures against the Turks, but that the Greek government is willing to dis cuss the matter with the allies.
 General Harington's declaration that he will oppose by force any move toward Constantinople has caused deep disappointment in Greece.
 The drachma fell today to nearly 50 to the dollar.
 The Greek army of 100000 men in Asia Minor, Macedonia and Thrace Is costing s7,000.000 monthly. It Is real- kept up indefinitely.
 Disconfent Reigns
 The steadily increasing cost of lly- Ing, the continued calling to the coiors of bread winners of families and the failure of the government to secure financial assistance abroad are causing disconsolation among the popalace generally, who are war weary after 10 years of almost con- tinuous strife.
 The feeling seems to prevail, however, that the government has been driven to a desperate expedient, and a majority of the people ap- parently are disposed to loyalty sup port 1t.
