With the contest on United ship settled beyond question, interest centers now on the rest of the Republican state ticket where some very close contests have developed. It would .seem almost. certain that the : following. leaguers have -been nominated: State Auditor Poindexter, Insurance Commissioner Olsness,- and Milhollan, Fay Harding and McDonnell of the railroad commissioners, They are lead- ing the independents in a com- ..pilation of counties where Nestos’ vote is more than 4,000 more than Baker’s, indi- cating that Governor*Nestos has run far ahead of the bal- > mance of the ticket and secured league support that did not go to other candidates on the In- dependent Republican ticket. The-race for attorney gen- eral is exceedingly close as is also that for state treasurer! and commissioner of agricul- ture. Leaguers have a fighting » sechance for these positions alsojjy complete, although it may be.Jate today before anything definite is known. other than that the; vote will be close. _ On governorship, 1,899 pre- cincts give Nestos 89,322; Baker 72,807,. and Stegner 2,334. Nestos has a plurality of 16,516, ail _ With the rural vote comin in, Frazier continued to pile up a safe lead over. Senator McCumber. In 1,882 precincts ‘the vote stood: Frazier 81,- 486; McCumber,’ 75,783, or a lead for Frazier of 5,713. Although returns are too meager to base a prediction upon the win- ners in the Republican primary on »+the balance of the state ticket, some startling disclosures are made upon a tabulation of returns from various coutnies, All anti-league candidates for other-officers are run- ning far behind Nestos while the league candidates are polling prac- tically Baker's vote ard in some ih- stances, running ahead of their can- didate for governor. It would appear that the league has a fighting chance to~capture . many of the other state offices.

CLEARING REST OF DUBLIN OF INSURGENTS Provisional Government, Hav- ing Driven Them Out of 4 Courts, Enlarges Area CASUALTIES ABOUT 100 (By the Associated Press) Dublin, July 1—The provisional! Free State government turned today | to the task of clearing the remaining nests of insurgents, following the jfall of the Four Courts, their chief stronghold. The surrender this morning of more than fifty rebels who had been | holding out in the Chapel street area was hailed as evidence the morale of the Republicans had been weakened jby the yielding of Rory O’Connor and Liam Meollowes, two of their) strongest fighting leaders. More encouraging news was re- ceived from the provinces early to- day, including accounts, of victories | ‘and Letterkenny.. The government i forées are declared in control of the} ‘entire Tipperary area. The total casualties in the three] |days fighting in Dublin have not] yet been ascertained but it is esti- ; mated they will not greatly exccea 100, the fatalities being placed at about forty. | 50 SURRENDER.

M. Today. Men in Northwest Respond to Call \) CAR REPAIRERS ON RAILROADS QUIT THEIR WORK Chicago, July 1.—(By the Assoclated Press) —Thousands of railway shopmen dropped their tools today to join the na- tion-wide strike call issued by the international presidents of the six shop crafts unions, Early reports indicated that shop mechanics and their helpers from the New England roads to the western trans-continental lines were generally joining the walkout, with about 50,000 already reported to have actually quit work at midday. While there was no way of compiling accurate figures which might be all-inclusive, dispatches from points scattered from Boston to Kansas City showed that the strike had taken effect in shops on nearly all the important roads of the east and middle west. = The strike call, permitting blacksmiths, boilermakers, sheet metal workers, electrical workers, machinists and car- men to stop work at 10 a. m. local time today, was issued Thursday night after a ballot by the 400,000 shop workers had showed, according to union officials, a 96 per cent ma- jority in favor of striking. ; Not more than 350,000 mechanics and helpers were actu- ally at work, however, according to latest government figures, although the unions’ total membership was allowed to vote, many shopmen being temporarily laid off. Last minute efforts of the United States railroad labor board to throttle the impending walkout failed yesterday when B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts union, refused to appear at a federal inquiry into the strike call. Subpoena servers failed to locate him although it was learned he was closeted with his strike committee at a downtown hotel, which lasted until 2 o’clock this morning. f Complete backing for the labor board and its orders, two of which are involved in the present walkout, was assured by the administration in Washington, although no one would make any definite suggestion on how the government might act to end the strike.

LOOKING FOR ATTACK (Ry the Associated Press) Dublin, July 1.—The situation be- the national army and the Republican irregulars in Dublin re- mains unchanged with the insurgents momentarily expecting an attack. They are grouped in an area three quarters of a mile square, with a light barricade of motor cars and lor- | ries thrown out. One hundred and sixty members of the shop crafts union employed by the Norehern Pacific railroad in Mandan laid down their tools at 10 a. m. today. Jamestown also report- ed that 135 members of the shop craft union quit work there while the Northern Pacific shopmen at Dillworth, near Fargo, also quit. Nine shop craft men of the Soo line in Bismarck quit in accordance with the strike vote. No one was injured. @ Beginning aryland, when striking shopmen from mistook a detail of guards for in the New England states at 10 o'clock eastern time, the shopmen walked out generally on the Boston and Maine, New Haven, Ban- gor and Aristook and other roads. Gradually the walkout spread west- ward as the roundhouse clocks ap- proached the zero hour—10 o'clock local time. By noon, defections were reported from every big road in the east, south and central west including the. New York Central lines, the Erie, Pennsylvania, Northwestern Burlington, hicago and “Alton, Southern, Baltimore and Ohio and other big trunk lines. No Interruption to Traffic There was no interruption of traf- fic on any line. Enginecrs and train- men stuck to their posts, although under instructions from brotherhood chiefs they performed only their regular duties. All trains ghe rail- roads .reported were running on schedule. ‘ Statements from rail executives all over the couftry, although admitted large degertions from the shop ranks, reiterated their stand that transportation was unaffected and would continue so — perhaps for months. No further effort would be made to settle the strike py the railroad labor board, it was said, at the board’s offices, today. From Wash- ington came word that the adminis- tration was‘solidly back of the board in its stand on the strike question the failure of B. M. Jewell and other shop union heads to appear before an official investigation by the board yesterday spelling the end of the tribunal’s intervention, according to Chairman Ben W. Hooper. ‘The only action to complete the board’s interest in the strike will be an official announcement of the board’s views, an announcemnt expected to condemn the strike. Involves 3 Questions The adminstration took the stand that the strike was against decisions of the labor board. The shop strike was called on three questions: (1) The $60,000,00 wage which went into effect today, along with a $75,000,000 cut for other classes, re- cently ordered by the board. (2) Modification of seven rules, reducing overtime pay, also recent- ly promulgated by the outside firms. (3) The alleged illegal contract- ing of work by some roads to out- side firms. Much of the cause for grievance, railroad heads declare, was removed yesterday when a dozen roads an- nounced before the board that they would discontinue all contract work. Dispatches from the four corners of the country reported the walkout as general, although no accurate es- timate of the percentage of the 400,- 000 shop workers who quit work could be compiled. All hope of averting the nation- wide strike of 400,000 railway shop- men apparently had vanished today as the hour for the walkout approach- ed. Ten o'clock was the time set for (Continued on Page 6)
