UP. TO SHOPMEN New ,York, Aug. 24.—(By the Assoclated Press)—"It's now up to the shopmen' said a spokes- man for the “big five" brother- hood chiefs this afternoon after they had conferred with a com- mittee representing a group of about 20 roads on a proposition for effecting separate settlements between individual roads and striking shopmen. New York, Aug. 24.—(By Associat- ed Press)—Representatives of a score of rallroads and the ‘'big five” broth- erhood chiefs this morning conferred at the Yale club for about three hours on the possibility of effecting separate agreements between {individual lines and their striking shopmen. ‘““We are still mediating,” said War- ren 8. Stone, spokesman for the broth- erhood men when the meeting ad- journed at 1:256 p. m., without an- nouncing whether another session would be held today. The chief of the locomotive engin- eers declined further to discuss the meeting, which was surrounded by the utmost secrecy. He hastened to the Hotel Woodstock to confer with leaders of the stationary crafts. New York, Aug. 24— (By Associat- ed Press)—The big five brotherhood chiefs and representatives of a sco of rallroads today prepared to thresl out’ the possibility of individual lines| settling with their striking shopmen. This possibility was raised by lear- ers of the running trades appearing as mediators at a conference yester- day with the entire membership of the assoclation of railway executives which rejected the proposals of the brotherhood men that the rail heads yic. 4 on ‘he disputed question of sen- {ority rights. Hope Still Expressed Encouraged by a belief that indi- vidual settlements might yet prove the basis for peace, the "big five” leaders conferred until after midnight with the heads of a score or more of ex- | ecutives who, when the general con- ference adjourned, expressed a will- ingness to continue negotiations al- though reaffirming = their committee men stand against the unjons’ sen- fority proposals. Then when the executives left, Agreeing to renew their peace efforts today the “big five" returned to their | headquarters where they remained until 1:55 a. m, closeted with B. M.| Jewell, president of the striking crafte, and 11 other heads of station- ary trades. What developed at this session was not disclosed. Meeting Again Today Daniel Willard, spokesman for the group of executives, had previously announced that they would meet the brotherhood chiefs again today but without disclosing where or when the zession would take place. It was re- ported unofficially, however, that the Yale club, scene of yesterday’s major developments, again would be the geat of negotiations. The exact status of the renewed negotiations rem:\ined this morning somewhat clouded Both the executives who conferred last night with the brotherhood men and those who prepared to leave for their homes early in the evening. united in asserting that the negotia- tions were continued for the purpose of testing the sincerity of the media- tors in, suggesting the possibility of separate settlements. It was announc- ed, however, that any individual set- tlement would have to be made in the light of the understanding on senior- ity reached at géneral session of the association of railway executives. At the same time, certain shop ecrafts leaders were quoted as assert- ing that the brotherhoods had not been authorized to suggest any individual settiements. This proposal, it was reported, was made by L. E. Shephard, head of the conductors, when the mediators ap- peared before the entire body of ex- ecutives. As quoted by one rail execu- tive, he asserted that if any sizeable Bumber of roads showed, an inclina- tion to accept the final proposal of the brotherhoods, the shop crafts would drop their ““all for one and one for all” policy which precluded any but a nation-wide agrcement. Rcasons For Failure The failure of a majority of the roads to participate in "negotlations which the so-called minority contin- ued 'ate last night was ascribed to two reasons + 1.—Their refusal to recognize the senfority demands of the strikers as a basis for settlement. 2. —Their refusal to consider taking back all of the strikers, a point which FPresident Harding's last proposal con- tained and which the etrikers have consistently demanded.

General Colling' body was met at the dock by large throngs of mourn- ers, including Richard Mulcahy, chief of staff, and other prominent repre- sentatives of the army. The body was taken on a gun carriage pre- ceded by a band of pipers, to 8t. Vin- cent's hospital. Prayers were said as the procession passed in silence broken only by the distant crack of snipers’ rifles In various parts of the grief-stricken city. The cortege was flanked by a line of Dublin guards, marching in slow time, with the muzzles of their revolvers protruding from the hol- sters. A detachment of civic guards in blue uniforms followed. Immediately behind came an ar- mored car bristling with rifles held at all angles, comprising an incon- gruous ending to the mournful pro- cession Several men who were County Cork, Tuesday night, in which Collins lost his life, had accompanied their beloved leader's body on the sea voyage to Dublin From midnight last night crowds had been gathering at the north quay to witness the arrival of the Classic, which docked at 2 o'clock this worn- ing. Scenes typlcal of the nation’s sorrow marked the progress of the coffin from the steamer through the long avenue of troops with reversed arms in the walting gun carriage Regular officers draped the plain oak casket in the free state colors. The dead general's charger was led riderless alongside. The members of the provisional government and deputies of the Dail Eireann together with the members of the headquarters staff im diately followed. Then came the throngs of bareheaded men and women, many of them making no effort to restrain heir tears. Among the little band of fighting men who made the last stand with Collins and who followed the body of | the slain here through the Dublin ctreets with lowered head and tear- blinded eyes, was a boyish figure wearing a ragged civillan coat and a tweed cap. Across his shoulders he ! carried a machine gun, the same gun | with which he said afterwards he had | poured a hail of lead into Collins' attackers.

Governor of Lansing, Mich, Aug. 24 (By Asso- ciated Press)—Coal concerns close to the federal fuel administration are “'getting theirs and getting it first,” Willlam W.

Profiteering Is Charged. Mr. Potter declared the public is rot in control of the distribution of fuel and that coal {s being daily offered at exorbitant prices. Declaring that coal operators com- prise the advisory board of the federal fuel adninistration, Mr. Pot- ter asserted: “When a handful of men may throttle the American public and de- mand double a fair price for coal it is time this American public was taking some action to change the personnel or the activities of the federal gov- ernment." Governor Leads Attack. Governor Groesbeck made a state- ment sharply criticizing the federal fuel administration. He sald: “It is a strange state of affairs when an advisory board composed of opera- tors is allowed to question the credit of the state of Michigan.” He referred to the action board in turning down the state's guarantee of $1,000,000 for priority coal and insisting upon cash deposits in the banks.

Mr. Russell has been acting adviser to the fuel distribution com- mittee since it was appointed a month ago by the governor but in his capacity as adviser has practically been in charge of the situation. It s understood he was offered the posi- tion of administrator at the first meet- ing of the commission, but declined because of pressure of business. Governor Lake said that whatever | action the state would take to remedy the present situation where an acute shortage in anthracite coal exists and will undoubtedly continue to exlst for the remainder of the year would be determined by Mr. Russell. When | asked if he believed it wouyld be neces- sary to call the legislature in special session the governor hesitated and then said: i May Call Legislature “I don't know if Mr. Russell be. lfeves it necessary, later on I will call an extraordinary session. He is in closer touch with the situation than I am. I have turned over to him | a complete report on the legislation which Governor Miller of New York intends to put before the New York assembly next Monday and which he has furnished me.’ A state-wide personnel of fuel ad- ministrators for each community in Connectfcut has been worked out by Mr. Russell and will be prepared to act immediately in the distribution of federal coal consignments should any be consigned to this state. Looks Worse Each Day Mr. Russell in the matter of there being a possibility that an extra ses- sion of the iegislature would be called’ said: “I couldn’t say now. Of course with things looking worse each day you never know what may be necessary the next day. Shipments of soft coal are coming into the state fairly regu- larly, but no anthracite. There have been no consignments of either kind' trom the federal authorities to the state, but several shipments have been permitted to enter the state in the cours of normal interstate trade and the commission has furnished author. ization to the wholesalers to receive them.” 45,000 Men to Return.
