The police have learned very little more about Rathenau’s assassins. Pres- ident Ebert, as well as Chancellor Wirth, has been receiving threatening letters. MAY HOLD CONFERENCE ON NATIONAL COAL STRIKE Washington, June 25.—A conference| with President Harding on the national | coal strike was understood to be the pur-j pose of the visit here today of John L. president of the United Mine| Workers of America. Mr. Lewis refused to discuss his trip to Washington, but the impression was gained that he had come in response to a request from Sec-| retary Davis of the labor department. Neither President Harding mor Secre- tary Davis were in town when the min- ers’ leader arrived and, so far as could be learned, no arrangement was made today for Mr. Lewis to go to the White House, Mr. Harding was not to return from week-end visit to the country home of ward B. McLean, Washington pub- lisher, at Leesburg, Va. until tomorrow morning. Although Mr. Lewis would not discuss his expected meeting with the president, in circles generally conversant with the coal strike situation it was believed that the conference might be the prelude to a general meeting between the minors' leaders and the operators, under White House auspices. Officials of the miners’ unions and some operators are understood to be< lieve ‘the time is ripe for some attempt at arapprochement. On the other hand, the senfiment in the operators' organi- zations is said to be against.any attempt at settlement except through district and local agreements. The miners, it was declared. today, would welcome now—as they assert they would have from the first—a general conference with the operators, and would participate in one if called by the presi- dent. They have not receded, it was eaid, from the program adopted at their con- vention last February, and are ready to present it at such conferences. | BURIAL OF 16 UNIDENTIFIED VICTIMS OF LABOR WAR Herrin, Tlls, June 25—(By the A. P.) ~The unknown dead of Herrin's labor war went to their graves today. Sixteen of them were buried in the “Potter's Field” while union men, who had dug the graves, leaned on their spades, and held their shapeless hats in work-gnaried hands. Four clergymen conducted the briet servico. Perhaps seventy-five persons were present, most of them miners who had dug the sixteen graves since dawn today. Senator William J. Sneed, in khaki ov- eralls, he had been digging too, was there; the mayor of Herrin, George Pace and Colonel Samuel Hunter of the adjutant general's staff. Thé caskets of the unknown dead, bore stamped plates of aluminum “At Rest.” No more Is recorded on the marker of the graves' head than that each “died June 22, 1922." The preachers spoke and prayed. The miners shifted some times, for they were tired from digging in the sun, but there was no sign of disrespect. The sixteen dead were borne down the road to the cemetery in ambulancs and hearses. This afternoon several thousand turn- ed out to honor a young thion man shot Wednesday near the jll-fated min. His death was unprovoked, his friends de- clare. ON FATILITY in EXPLOSION OF TWO POWDER BARGES Onelda, N. Y, June 25.—One pérson s dead, two are apparently fatally injured, two children are missing and fifteen cot- tages are in ruins as the result of an ex- plosion of two powder barges at Verona beach; nine miles from here on the barge canal, Lake Onelda lake, early tonight, Rome and Oneida fire departments, called to fight a spreading conflagration, esti- mat the total property damage at more than $500,000. The barges contained 5300 cases of powder, 140 pounds to the case, and were consigned to the Dupont company at Bukalo. The cargo had been transfer- red: to the barges after it whs sunk near New London last week. The barges were tied to a dock at the time of the explosion. A spark from the exhaust of a gasoline engine used to pump water from the hold, is believed to have ignited the cargo. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR WM. . ROCKEFELLER TO BE PRIVATE ' Tarrytown, N.

P.)—- Notwithstanding the uncertainties - com- prised.in- the several labor disputes and the impending reductions in railroad freight rates, industry maintained . its gains during the past week. Steel milis. continuéd to operate ‘at neariy 75 per cent. of capacity, ahd the prices of steel products remained firm. Buying for prompt shipment was stronger than that for future delivery, but this was considered natural by the trade, since the future course of prices is rendered uncertain by such factors as the change in raiiroad rates, the coal strike, the pos- sibility of higher labor_ coss, and the character of the autumn demand for steel. Impressive gains were shown by the latest railroad car loading figures—those for the week ending June 10. Although coal shipments, which have been gaining, still amounted to only 95.000 cars as co; pared with 205.000 cars in the week be- fore the strike started, the volume of other freight increased = sufficiently (v bring total loadings up to 846,000 cars. This figure equals that cecorded in the week before the strike began, which is, incidentaliy, the high record for the year.

Reports from New England said that more of the striking textile workers were returning to the mills. The milis appear, however, to be still operating at a com- paratively low rate. Opinions as to the likelihood of a rail- road strike continue to be divied. The roads still profess to regard such an event as unlikely, and it is nointed out that there has been some slowness in the balloting.

Colonel Hunter told of being held up by mine guards and taken to Mine Super- intendent McDowell of the strip mine of the Southern Illinois Coal company last Sunday night. Colonel Hunter testified that he urged McDowell to confine the activities of his guards to the mine prop- erty and that he also urged that these sentries walk their posts without arms. McDowell agreed to carry out thes suggestions, Colonel Hunter sald in his testimony. A member of the jury asked Colonel Hunter: “Is it true, Colonel, that they had machine guns mounted?” “I searched the mine proj times and failed to find any,” Coionel Hunter replied. “Tt was suggested to Major General Milton J. Foreman that the miners had mistaken riht angle sec- tions of pipe, used for pumping, for ma- chine guns.
