REVIEW OF STRIKE SITUATION TODAY Settlement Seems Nearer--Dis- orders Contine Chicago, July 12 (By' Associated Press). —Settlement of the rail strike seemed possibly a step nearer today when {t was disclosed that secret con- ferences have been held between Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the U. 8. Rallroad Labor Board, and leaders of the six striking shop crafts. President Harding's intervention in the strike tirough his proclamation calling for protection of transporta- tion ‘and the mails was accepted as bearing much significance. Call From President, A telephone call from Washington for W. L. McMenimen, one of three labor members of the board, was sald by the Chicago Tribune to have come from the president. The telephone operator, the Tribune sald, called the newspaper in an effort to locate Mr. | McMenimen. Fresh disorders at scattered points| while troops patrolled former trouble zones, arrangements for a conference today by the big four service brotiher- hoods and an announcement by B. M.| Jewell, head of the striking shop crafts, that conferences were plunned' with representatives of 21 north- western railronds were among other| important developments in the rail strike. Injunctions Granted. .. Additional injunctions restralnlngf strikers from interfering with railway | operations were granted to several, roads. New appeals for troops were bama,and Governor Morrow of Ken- tucky, Btriking shopmen at Topeka, Kaa,, adopted resolutions declaring that they would not return to the Santa Fe shops until all employes who re. mained | at thelr posts during the strike were removed, Citles Are Liable Notices to Kansas mayors inform- ing them that their cities are llable for damages under the state “mob law" were forwarded. by Attorney Gen. Hopkins. Mr. Jewell commenting on Presi- dent Harding's proclamation sald the way to end the strike was to call a conference of rallroad executlyes and shop crafts leaders, Neither Mr, Jewell nor Mr. Hdoper of the labor hnard suggested a ten. dency to yield much from the posi- tions they took at the outset of the strike. Proposals For Peace Tentative proposals considered in the peace conference included the fol- lowing: That the railroads abolish the con- tract syetem of farming out work to contractors. That certain working rules govern- | ing overtime pay be modified. That the shopmen be given another hearing on the wage issue, That the rallroads agree to estab- Iish boards of adjustment to hear all disputes except those involving wages. Bullet In Brain made to the governors of Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, while Governor | Boyle of Nevada was asked by the| Union Pacific for state intervention in the strike at Las Vegas. Disorders occurred at Chicago, Mil-| waukee, Sayre, Pa., Orrville O., Den- nison, Texas, and at Roodhouse, Ill. Bert Lickson, roundhouse foreman for the Chicago and Alton said to be & nephew of W. G. Bierd, president of the road, was tarred and feathered | by a masked band. "Two car repairers were 'reported to | have been abducted at Marion, O.,| and at Pana, Ill, a carman left town under threats of strikers. Deny They Are Strikers. | At Algiers, La., four negroes work- | ing in the shops of the Southern Pa- cific were fired upon by a crowd of| whites, 13 of whom were arrested for | violating the federal injunction. The| prisoners denied they were strikers. | Clinton, Ill, New TFranklin and Blater, Mo., and Parsons, Kas., where troops were on duty remained ‘com-! paratively quiet. | The situation at Bloomington, Iil.,| remain.d tense with troops holding| tae yards and shops. Frequent shoot- ings and the general hostile attitude| of strikers and large crowds of sym- pathizers kept National Guardsmen | on constant vigilance. Meanwhile city and county authori- ties were endeavoring to re-establish | government. | Object to Machine Guns | Engineers, firemen, trainmen and| conductors announced that they would refuse to enter the Alton yards at Bloomington to take out trains as long as machine guns bristled in the shops. They voted only to operate| mail trains unless the trains were de- | livered to them outside the shop dis- trict during the encampment of the troops in the yards. The meeting of the big four broth- erhood chiefs was called for the pur- pose of discussing issues growing out| of the shopmen's strike. | Among other developments of the last 24 hours was the announcement of D. W. Helt, president of the rail- way signalmen that no strike would be called and the faiiure of clerks, | station employes and freight handlers on the Norfolk and Western to re- spond to an official authorization of a strike. Shop crafts at Sayre, Pa, formed a ‘‘peace committee” with the an- nounced intention of preventing dis- orders as far as possible. Additional deputies were sworn in by the United States Marshal Levy in Chicago. Report Better Conditions The Santa Fe, Burlington and Mis- | souri, Kansas and Texas anpounced that conditions were steadily improv- ing on their lines. Santa Fe shop- men were reported by the road to be| returning to work in considerable! numbers. At Galesburgh, Ill., 800, ‘were reported to have returned to the‘ shops. Forty-one moulders, who joined the walkout at Parsons, Kas, were re- ported back on their jobs. Police at Boston drove pickets away trom employment agencies where men were accepted for railroad work. Roseville, Cal., officials were inves- tigating the dynamiting of one of the largest water tanks on the Southern Pacific system by a party of unknown men and an attack by strikers upon an employe of the Pacific Frult Ex- press. The Baltimore and Ohio at Youngs- town, O., and East St. Louis and Flora, Ill, and the Missouri Pacific and Frisco at Kansas City, were among the roads to which federal in- junctions were granted. More Join Walkout Two hundred maintenance of way employes on the Central Rallroad of New Jersey, at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., joined the walkout and 100 section men at Dennison, O., went out on strike. The Baltimore and Ohio and the Erile sent some of their rolling stock to outside shops for repairs. 54 Trains Annulled Fifty-four trains were annulled by the Wabash. Governor Russell of Mississippi received an appeal for troops to protect Mississippi Central shops. An appeal was sent also to Governor Taylor of Tennessee to send | National Guardsmen to the shops at Memphis. Investigations of the strike situation were made by Governor Kilby of Ala- —DRINK— Ayers’ Soda Water Call for it by name and gct the best.
