Reports Force 101 Per Cent. By the Associated Pre: CHICAGO, September 9.—"Nothing to say,” was the brief reply of union leaders and railroad heads alike to in- quiries concerning the strike situa- tion today, pending developments next Monday, when Judge James H. Wilkerson is due to hear Attorney General Daugherty's application to make the government's strike injunc- tion permanent. The policy commit- tee of the six striking shop crafts is | summoned to meet the same day. Both | sides in the strike controversy had apparently adopted a walting policy until then. S. Davies Warfleld, president of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, who, with Danlel Willard, president of the Bal- timore and Ohio, is included in the group of executives said to be leaning toward a plan for separate agree- ments for settling the strike of indi- vidual roads, was expected here today. Strike in Eleventh Week. Mr. Willard, who met with other rail heads here yesterday, was even more Secretive than his assoclates when questioned concerning new peace moves. The shopmen's strike entered its eleventh week today with conditions generally quiet throughout the coun- try. A fifth man was arrested at Okiahoma City on charges of setting fire to a Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific railroad bridge near El Reno. Oklahoma, on August 17. Four men faced murder charges at Memphis, Tenn., for the killing of Charles Lanier, jr. a non-union em- ploye of the Frisco system.

He said he expected the men to return Monday. Strike lead- ers, on the other hand, declared there was no break In their ranks and that strikers would not return to work until the strike.was terminated on a national basis or until some other satisfactory arrangement had been made. Officials of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy said that west of the Mis- sissippi the system ‘has 101 per cent of a_normal shop force. Although the Burlington made no announce- ment such.as that of the Union Pa- cific restoring pension. rights to for- mer emplayes who return to work, C. D. Gray, assistant to W. F.

JUSTICE U. 5. AIM, DECLARES HUGHES Speaking -at Rio, Secretary Says Abiding Peace Is Sought on Hemisphere. By the Associated Pre RIO JANEIRO, September 9.— Speaking to the American residents of Rio Janeiro yesterday at the dedi- ¢atton of the site for an Amerlcan centennial monument at the exposi- tion grounds,-Charles E. Hughes. the American Secretary of State, ex- plained the attitude of the United States toward the South American countries as one im which all im- perialistic sentiment was lacking, and defined what he described as the basis of Pan-American sentiment. “You, my fellow countrymen.” Mr. Hughes, “know full well how sin- cerely we desire the independence, the unimpaired sovereignty, the poli- tical integrity and the constantly in- creasing prosperity of the people of Latin America. We have our domestic problems incident to the expanding lite of a free people; but there is no imperialistic sentiment among us to cast even a shadow across the path- way of our progress “We covet no territory; we seek no conquests; the liberty we cherish for ourselves we desire for others, and we assert no rights for ourselves that we do not accord to others. We sincerely desire to see throughout this hemisphere an abiding peace, a reign of justice and the diffusion of the blessings of beneficent co-opera- tion. It is this desire which forms the basis of Pan-American sentiment.” HUGHES SHORTENS VISIT. Will Leave Brazil Next Tuesday on Battleship Maryland. Secretary Hughes, who originally planned to remain in Brazil until September 18, has advised Acting Secretary Phillips of the State De- partment that he will start for the United States next Tuesday on the battleship Maryland.

FEAR COREYARMY SEGE N ENGLAND Unemployment Leader Says 1,400,000 Idle Men Are Facing Winter. BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922. LONDON, September 8.—*Coxey's armies” from all over England con- verging on London in a monster demonstration was forecast- for the near future by the chairman of the National Union of Unemployment at Wednesday's meeting. It would have no revolutionary purpose and doubt- less would be quite peaceful, but it was meant to call attention to the dangers of unemployment during the coming winter. Though the industrial situation is somewhat improved, the unemployed still number officially abbut 1,400,000 and there is no prospect that this will be diminished before winter. es Overproduction. Typical of the general situation is Sir Charles W. Macara’'s statement | to the Manchester district cotton employers’ association, that despite heavy curtallment by the cotton spinners there is still overproduc- tion. He urges a deliberate agree- ment to limit production because the stocks are now depreciating on the manufacturers’ hands. Although the domestic trade is fair- 1y healthy, this accounts for only a quarter of the national textile pro- duction. The general state of Europe has shattered the foreign trade, upon which the prosperity of this industry depends. Sir Charles’ suggestion, if adopted, would further hit the American cot- ton growers’ textile trade, with more than 50,000,000 spindles—the largest in the world. = United States Cotton Strike. The coal trade, which is Great Brit- ain’'s most important industry, would be in almost a similar condition ex cept for the American strike. The steel industry, which is the third most important, is crippled by cheap Ger- man competition. Shlpbnlldlnf is en- tirely dead, while millions in ship tonnage are rotting at the wharves. The British cabinet ready de- cided in principle to institute relief works for the unemployed this win- ter.

A conference will bé held in New York today between Judge Elbert Gary of the United States Steel Cor- poration, representatives of the United Mine Workers and a representative of the Department of Labor looking to the ending of the coal strike in the Connellsville, Pa., coke region, ac- cording to officidl information re- ceived here. The 40,000 strikers in the Connells- ville district were nominally non- union, but when the strike was called in the bituminous’ industry April 1 many of them walked out, forcing cessation of work in a number of mines, many of which are afliated with or controlled by the United States Steel Corporation. Labor Department officials con- firmed reports that the conference would be opened today in New York, but beyond indicating that it was ar- ranged largely through the individual efforts of Secretary Davis they would give no details as to the basis on which a settlement was hoped.

T VIENNA, September 9.—Responding to urgent popular sentiment, the Aus- | trian_ministerial - council has begun iaction tending to restrict the en- trance and stay of foreixners in tie country.

The hopeless financial situation in Austria has produced an acute crisis which makes food hard to obtain by the masses. Food lines form before the shops, as they did in war times, but a serious revolt does not seem imminent. ~ Austrian manufacturers are opposed to the anti-forelgn move- ment, as they dépend upon foreigners to buy the luxuries manufactured in Vienna. At great expense they have organized an annual sample fair, which opens next week. Others point out Vienna's position ‘as the cross roads of the former empire with profit to be gained from foreigners. Czechs, Italians, Germans &and Hungarians form the majority of visitors here now. There are comparatively fow Americans among them. CHURCH TITLES VESTED IN GOD, SAYS DAUGHERTY Seizure -of House of Worship by Former Custodian of Alien Property Overruled.
