HOPES FOR RAIL STRIKE PEACE ARE REVIVED MOTOR CLUB AT|[ Bate scones )40 AND 8 CLUB One-Fifth Second Is Clipped 15 ORGANIZED BY From World’s SALT GREEK TA WORK FOR ROAD Casper Lends Aid to Oil [7 Field Public, Attends Meeting Wednesday Successful co-operation he- tween two communities al- ready entirely dependent upon each other was the pur- pose of a journey to Salt Creek made last evening by four members of the Casper Chamber of Commerce and a Tribune reporter. Chatles Stafford, secretary of the chamber of commerce; J. 8. Mechiing, president of that body; Fred Pattee, and Earle D. Holmes comprised the delegation whose purpose last evening wa® the immediate organization of a Salt Creek Motor club, similar in all respects and vested with the same powers as the Casper organization. The reason for the‘ organization of such a body tn the oll camp city is the crying need for some way of in- ducing the oil companies and the state highway commission to build and maintain a better road between, Casper and Salt Creek, and more es- pecially a certain part within the very limits of the camp Itself. This stretch, if tourists’ reports are true, is by far the most undesirable piece of road between (anper and Sheridan. Organization and co-operation have been named as the most likely method of obtaining highway rights from the oll companies and a little action on the matter at once. A mooting called by W. W. Runkle of Salt Creek, who has taken the Ivad In the movement for un organ- ized motor club, opened tn Recreation hall with seyeral live citizens pros- ent and ready to hear the word of the Casper delegation upon, the best method pf organizing. As temporary chrirman the ‘meet, ing elected W. 8. Walton, Salt Creek fire chief, whose influence has al: ways been felt for a movement of this kind. Mr. Runkle was chosen temporary secretary and the meeting was organized and ready to transact business. Orgunization occupied the entire evening, and it has been decided that the embryo organization shall be similar to that adopted by the mother city. A copy of the Casper by-laws were presented the secretary for re- vision by the newly appointed by-laws committee, consisting of A. ¢ An- drews, Roy Freeman, and E. 8. Mur- ray. ¥ The entry fee and membership com- bined was set at $5 per member, al- though it is possiblé that changes along this line may be made at some future date. Every effort will be made by every member signed up last evening to enlist all car owners in Salt -Creek in the services*of the new club within the next few weeks. Every member of the Casper delega- tion addressed the meeting on his past experiences with the operation motor clubs, and of the need of or- ganization if anything 1s to be ac- complished in the way of clvic better- ment. They assured the new club of a firm backing in Casper and offered them every co-operation possible. At the next regular meeting, which ig at present scheduled for Friday evening, the by-laws committee will report and organization will be com- plete. Committees will probably be nted to confer with the ofl com- and with representatives of hway department in the r future. es a In France it {s flegal for a widow's nd marriage to take place before ays have elapsed after the death «* her former husband.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27—John L Lewis, president of the miners unfon said here this afternoon that he had “every reason to believe that an in- terstate joint conference of the central competitive fields will be arranged within a few days.” Standing in the lobby of the Belle- vue, Stratford hotel, where he has been conferring with district presi- dents of the union from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, Mr. Lewis dictated the following statement to newspaper men: “"1tis undoubtedly true that to all purposes and éffect the mine workers have won their present strike, and it is almost universally recognied in in- dustrial and financial circles through- out the country that no wage reduc- tions can be applied to mining indus- try. it only remains for an interstate joint conference to be convened In order to permit of the immediate ne-| gotiation of a new wage agreement.| This is the only way by which a set- tlement can be made. no district or separate settlements. “I have every reason to believe that| John Hessler, president of district No. 11, United Mine Workers of America, CHICAGO, July 27.—Ilinols oper- ators will not enter into a joint inter- state wage conference to settle the coal strike, it was declared today by Dr. F.

HARDING MEETS Roping Rec~rd BOTH _FACTIONS “IN CONFERENCE “rospects for Long-Drawn-Out Battle Les- sen as Executives and Labor Leaders Gather in Capital WASHINGTO. The White House again today , July 27.—(By The Associated Press.) — became the center of develop- ments in the rai] strike and the focus of efforts toward peace, President Harding meeting in conference first with T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Execu- tives, and then with the strike leaders headed by B. M. Jewell, who reached Washington early in the day from Chicago. Mr. Jewell and his colleagues went into conference with the president at 11 o'clock shortly after Mr. Cuyler had concluded an hour and a half discus sion of the strike situation with Mr. Harding. Mr. Cuyler on leaving the White House said he had presented the view- point of the railroad managements and that he would remain in Washing. ton “to await the pleasure of the pres- ident” but that there had been no new development In the situation Mr. Cuyler indicated that he would return to the White House for another conference_after the president had dis. cussed the situation with the strike leaders. Pressed for an opinion as 10 whether senlority wan the sole stum bling blo.k in the way of settlement he said he had seen no statement from Mr. Jewell on the point and could not therefore say whether that was the position taken by the unions. The strike leaders held a brief con: ference at their’ hotel before going to the White House. The heads of the six international uhlons, mecting with Willlam H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machin ists, another of the labor organizations involved in the strike. Mr. Jewell par- ticipated in tho conference only for a few minutes just before it sdofurned. All of the strike leaders maintained absolute silence regarding their visit to Washington prior to seeing the presigent, even refusing to say wheth er they camo at the invitation of Mr. Harding or upon thelr own initiative. HOPES REVIVED IN LABOR CIRCLES. CHICAGO, July 27—(By The’ As- sociated Press).—Just as the railway strike seemed to have settled to a long drawnout and determined battle, hopes for peace, which have waxed and waned as succeedingly indications pointed to continued strife or a settle- ment, were revived by the gathering in Washington of strike leaders and railway executives. Although no official announcement was made, it was believed that the presence in Washington of B. M. Jew- ell, head of the striking shopmen, and his executive council could mean only that they had gone there from Chicago for a conference with President Hard- ing. W. W. Atterbury, vice pres! dent of the Pennsylvania lines, and T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman ef the Asso- clation ot Railway Executives, were in the capital today and other rail chiefs, including L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson, were expected to arrive during the day. Restoration of seniority rights to men on strike remained the chief ob- stacle to peace. In view of President Harding's statement that the rights of men at work and the rights of strikers must alike be protected, mado yesterday in @ message to the chairman of he rail- way employes’ publicity association, {t was believed that any agreement must include respect for the rights of men now working as well as the rights of strikers. In his statement President Harding indicated that he would ask the rail- road labor board to grant the shop- men a re-hearing although he said “the decisions of the rafiroad labor board are in compliance with a man- date of the lawmaking body of the United States. UNION BETWEEN TOWNS 5 GREAT ASSET TD STATE Co-operation Prevailing in Wyoming Complimented by Arthur K. Lee in Talk to Lions. Maintenance of the close union which obtains among Wyoming towns und cities for the good of all con- erned was urged by State Senator Arthur K. Lee, president of the Na- tional Bank of Commerce, in remarks last evening before the Casper Lions club at the weekly dinner of that or- ganization. Co-operation already man- ifested has brought gratifying resulta, ccording to Mr. Les, who pointed, among other things, to the Wind River canyon road at Thermopolis, in securing appropriations for which the Hot Springs metropolis was aided by Casper and other points to be bene- fited. Jealous rivalry among Wyo- ming centers is comparatively un- known, he said, all points being nxious to secure for other towns ad- vantages and industries which they cannot get foF themselves. His ap- peal was for a continuation of this spirit In building up a great state. Benefits of the tourist business were pointed out by Mr, Lee as ap- proaching a magnitude not ‘realised by the casual observer, accurate data showing that millions of dollars are left in the state by these visitors. A movement {s on foot to launch an ex- tensive advertising campaign next year in one of the country’s best ad- vestising mediums and it ts probable that the project will be bromght to the attention of local interests within coming months. It has been suggest- ed that the advertising be run in @ series, each carrying the map of the Yellowstone highway route through Wyoming and each ad to deal spe- cifically with a certain point along the highway. The project would call for united action among the towns to be benefited. . At the business session of the Lions it was voted to declare dues payable under date of July 1, last and corn- muunications were read relative to the recent national convention and the charter night installation for the Casper club. Attention was also called to the fact that one day of the Wyoming State fair at Dougas has been designated as Lions day and efforts will be made to secre a wide attendance of club members from here on that date.

Deputy Powert will leave tonight for Lincoln, and will probably return Saturday or Sun- day with his prisoners.
