EACH BOW TO U.S. AGENCY Seniority Status Held Secondary Matter in Proposals to End Transportation Walkout. President Harding., while greatly disappointed at the refusal of the rail- | Proposal made by him to bring about peace between the.railroads and the striking shopmen, is greatly elated that what the administration con- siders the major part of the proposal was accepted by all. This has peen made known officially at the White House, it being explained that a great advantage was gained when both the raiiroad executives and the shoperaft union leaders formally agreed to recognize the authority of the Railroad Labor Board as belng supreme In future controversies. The fact that the executives rejected the President's further proposal that to end the strike, strikers be taken back by the carriers without impair- ment of their seniority status, was said to be secondary in the White House view, since the success or non-success of governmental mediation efforts in industrial strife could be considered a small matter compared with main- tenance of the integrity of legally es- tablished agencies of the government itself. This outline of the administration lattitude was made available vesterday lafter the cabinet session, which was {occupied for more than two Lours with ! consideration of industrial difficulties tin coal mining and transportation. It {strengthened the bellef that. for the moment, no further government move affecting the conduct of railroads was to be expected. A rumor that President Harding's { proposals on seniority as originally presented to T. De Witt Cuyler, chair- man of the Railroad Executives' Asso- ciation. differed in form from the draft rejected by the meeting of the asso- ciation met with denial at the White House.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The biggest of question marks rests today on a chapter of White House history in connection with the rail- road strike. What happened at the jconference between President Hard- ing and T. De Witt Cuyler, president of the Association of Rallway Execu- tives, on Thursday, July 27? And an- other query pertains to what hap- pened between the time Mr. Cuyler .{ left the White House and the meeting of the railroad executives held in New York six days later. President Harding has felt com- pelled to authorize the Washington jnewspaper correspondents to send broadcast the statement that he did not alter the proposal he made to of seniority rights to the railroad strikers. This significant denial was made because Mr. Harding was told that an impression has been spread that the original offer had been modi- House. Such foundation as exists for this impression may be traced to the Kdim‘unslnn which took place fn New { York last Tuesday when the railroad executiyes met. ! “Thos€ who heard what was said at { the New York meeting have quoted Mr. Cuyler as having said that he read President Harding's letter “with { considerable eurprise.” H Time of Surprise Question. Mr. Cuyler didn't say when surprise occurred. irevealed that the plan whick he {drafted in his own handwriting was shown to Mr. Cuyler on the day he was at the White House. If Mr. {Cuyler sald be was surprised, he I must have referred to the effect which the proposal to restore &en- jority rights to the strikers made upon him when Mr. Harding first read him the letter. He couldn’t pos- sibly have referred to the impression which the formal letter made upon him when it was typewritten and i merely reproduceq what Mr. Harding had shown him before. Mr. Harding was confident when Mr. Cuyler left here that the pro- posals would be accepted apd that the meeting of the rallway execu- tives would merely ratify the pro- gram. Mr. Cuyler must have given the President the impression that he would accept the provosals. though {under protest. Otherwise the entire adminiatration wouldn't have been so cocksure tae strike was over the day Mr. Cuyler called. Every statement given out by administration spokes- men. both at the Capitol and the Executive end of Pennsylvania aven- ue, was along that line. : Two Conferences Held. ‘The most plausible exnlnation of the whole business would appear to |be this: Mr. Cuyler and President {ledln had a long conference in the morning at the White House offices and then had another long talk in the evening ir. the executive man- sion. Under the spell of Mr. Hard- ing’s warm personality and persua- sive arguments, Mr. Cuyler felt the iinfluence of presidential command. He had been told that If the pro- posals weren't accepted the coal sit- uation would grow worse and the country would suffer, and that as a move of expediency in the interest of 4he public welfare. irrespective of |m- question of princinla on senfority rights, the plan should he accepted. Mr. Cuyvler went to New York to see what he could do. When he got there he found an amazinglv hostile atmosnhere. He saw he would be un- able to turn the tide even if he fought hard. Secretary Hoover had been asked to make the plea for the administration nlan. But that didn't | sufice—it didn't convince the execu- Ifl\'es. Tt is said that when Robert Tovett in a quiet and undramatic way stated that he conldn't go back on the loval men in his employ an emo- tional outburst of applause swept the meeting. Look of Convietion. So Mr. Harding's arguments. made throuzh the head of the railway exe- entives’ oreanization didn’t carrv con- viction. He has the alternative of modifying his proposal or sticking to his muns and laving the case in per- =on hefore the 148 rallway executives. | Mr. Harding may decide to reply by letter to the executives, pointing ont that since they have agreed to abide by all the decisiens of the Labor Board, as contemplated by the transportation act. the senloritv disonte might he Fesolved by the board later on. The President has let it be known /that substantial progress has heen made by the announced acceptance bv both sides of the principal point in his pro- posal—recognition of the United States Labor Roard's decislons.

By the Associated Preas. STAUNTON. Ind. August 5—Al- though there was a noticeable feeling of resentment among residents of the coal mining district occupied by Indiana National Guards, Friday night passed quletly and no disorders had been reported to military headquarters here up to early today. Troops. ho: ever, continued to maintain a heavy guard over the twenty by forty mile martial law area, as the situation was considered by officials to be decidedly tense. All posts here were doubled last night as the result of the skirmish between snipers and national guards- men early Friday morning. No one was hurt in the firing. which lasted more than two hours, s far as could be learned at military headquarters. In the meantime work of cleaning up the mines, in preparation for the actual digging of coal in the shafts taken over by the state. are going for- ward. Officials say they expect to have the mines in full operation by the first of the week. As none of the striking _miners in_this district has answered Gov.

The launch was bought at a low price from the Portamouth navy yard some months ago, but, preparatory to the long cruise, the boys worked diligently in practically rebuilding the craft.

One that repre- sents the very minimum of cash and initial ex- penditure. It is not to be expected that this house i affords all the pleasure of a real home, but it an- swers a purpose and is a reasonably sane pro- cedure. At any rate it beats paying rent. The other way is done most frequently by the family who has purchased as above. The pleasure of home has begun to dawn on them. Added com- “forts and conveniences begin to make their appeal. The craving for a bit of breathing space, green lawns, begins to assert itself. The desire for a quiet neighborhood makes itself known. i Tt is surprising how little more this costs.. You are then buying permanently.
