RAIL AND COAL STRIKES CRASH. o INORTHWESTTO KSBADFOR OBTAINSUPPLY ENTIRE EUROPE OF COALFI Action of Great Britain to This Is Belief in Washington Be Demanded at Meeting Following Conference With of British Cabinet President Harding Train service is Curtailed in Several States; Coal Supply Rapidly Dwindling (By United Press) Chicago, July 11.—(By C. R. Lynch)—Threatening to strangle the country’s arteries between giant pinchers of a shortage of men and coal power, the railroad strike in its 11th day and the coal strike in its 102nd closed in upon the visibly weakening transportation system of the United States today. With curtailment of train service in New York, Illinois, Louisiana and Missouri and half a dozen states, embargoes by carriers against ship- ment of livestock, notably in Kansas City, and estimates by road officials that .an average two months’ coal supply remains to keep the wheels turning, the fear was that the rail- road shop workers walk-out would result in violence. Militia of seven states stood ready to act at the first signs of violence. At Parson, Kansas, troops guarded the shops where non-union men be- gan operation. Dynamiting and shooting in con- nection with the railroad strike on the Southern Pacific at Newecastle, Calif., resulted in a call for troops by the carriers. (By United Press) Chicago, July 11—Railroad signal- men today definitely announccd they woulll nbt jpin in fhe shopmen’s strike. Daniel W. Holt, head of the union, stated he has accepted an agreement similar to the compro- mise proposition on which the main- tenance of way union had called off its threatened strike. INTERNATIONAL LOAN FAVORED BY BRITISH ARBITRATION PROPOSAL LIKELY TO BE ACCEPTED Action of France Indefinite as German Mark Collapses; Await French Action Miners Apparently Willing to Accept Since Framing of Wages Is Offered (By United Press) London, July 11—With the Ger- man crash threatening to force the continent into the worst financial and political crisis since -the =~ war, Lloyd George today regarded the en- tire situation which resulted and the collapse of the mark before ‘' his cabinet. The action of Great Britian re- garding the situation, which is ad- mitted to be most critical, will be demanded at the meeting. The Brit- ish expect demoralization in Ger- many to grow unless the quickest measures are taken to prevent it but it is emphasized in government circles that the outcome rests upon France to a large degree. The British attitude still favors an international loan to Germany, but Lloyd George and his advisers have not yet decided whether to re- new the suggestion to France for the revision of the reparations sched- ule. Hope is seen by members of the cabinet that the present trend of Germany toward bankruptey may be a warning to impress France that a modification of the reparations terms is necessary. France will either favor coercive steps toward Germany or will awaken to the re- alization that the only means of col- lecting from Germany is by moai- fying the reparations terms, it was believed here. Great Britian will probably await the reaction of France before taking decisive action. The allied committee on guarantces is expected to arrive in Paris from Berlin tomorrow to report Germany’s financial status. Following this Lloyd George expects Premier Poincare will come to Lon- don for a conference, which would lead to a reparations showdown. (By United Press) Washington,; July 11—President Harding has pledged himself to ob- taining a movement of coal to the northwest before lake navigation ceases, This was the belief here as Scnator Kellogg, Minnesota, Len- root of Wisconsin and Townsend of Michigan conferred with President Harding at the white house yesurdny_'_ It is reported that the house will. take steps to prevent a coal short-~ age in the northwest before attempt- ing to send coal to other parts,of , che country, because the country’s, need for coal in the northwest cane: not be supplied if navigation closes. on the lakes. Drastic steps may be taken by the government to get a coal supply to the. northwest.
