Chicago, July 30.—(By The A.

M Jewell, head of the six striking #hop craft unions, refused to comment on statements made by various railway executives that the question of the restor- ation of seniority rights to the shopmen might prevent a settiement. Other strike leaders, however, emphatically declared that v(uen the men went back they would regain their former status. Not only justice, but the public in- st, demands that in any settlement of the strike the seniority rights of all men, who are now working, shall be rec- ognized,” a statement issued by the western railway presidents’ committee on public_relations today declares. F. Logee, chairman of the eastern rallway presidents’ conference, recentiy sent the following telegram to United es Senators Calder and Wadsworth.

SETTLEMENT OF RATL STRIKE REGARDED CERTAIN Chicago, July 30 (By the A. P.).— Peace terms have been agreed to in the country-wide railway strike and formal ratification has been assured through President Harding's efforts, it was as- serted tonight by a man in close official touch with the situation All that now remains before the strike, which has cost the workers upward of $40,000,000 in wages, passes into history, it was asserted, was the formal indorse- ment of the terms of\settlement by the rallway executives meeting in New York and the strike leaders who will convene in Chicago at the same hour. “The acceptance of President Hard- ing's proposal was a foregone conclusion before T. DeWitt Cuyler * * * * issued the call for the meeting of the rail execu- tives in New York, and Bert Jewell, head of the striking shopmen, summoned a similar meeting of union chiefs for the same date” this man, who has been in ciosest touch with the entire situation, declared. “The rail executives will finally decide to yieid for the good of the country, sweeping aside the seniority issue” he continued, “but their gesture will give little consolation to the men who walked out on July 1, for besides their loss in pay they will lose some of their seniority rights to the men who remained at work. see their original grievances returned to the United States railroad labor board for re-hearing, and the question of a na- tional adjustment board and certain other points taken up by congress. “The exact terms perobably will not be known until after Tuesday meetings, but whatever they are the objectlons of a minority on either side will not be suf- flciently strong to obstruct or prevent their ratification by both side. “Lut: wen- fority issue has been raised since the be- ginning of the strike, it must be remem- bered, and it ig not as great a stumbling block as it has seemed at times. When : the time comes f{t will be disposed, of with justice to all and to the satisfaction of the great majority of the workers.” GOV'T BEGINS DISTRIBUTION 0F BITUMINOUS COAL TODAY Washington, July 30.—(By the A.

Middletown, N. Y., July 30.—Lieu- tenant Tracy Lyons, O. R. C, aviation section, United States army, and Au- gustus’ Altemeier, Jr.. of Port were burned to death at Port Jervis this afternoon when their airplane crashed to earth.

Explosion of the gasoline tank, coin- cident with the crash, enveloped both men and the plane in flam The bodies were burned so badly the only way of identifying them was from the positions they occupnied. The plane, the CH-4, from Mitchell Field. Mineola, L. T, had carried Lieu- tenant Lyons and Captain Walter Dodd, of Chester, Orange county, to_their homes on Saturday. Lieutenant Lyons was starting for Chester, with Altmeier as a passenger, to pick up Captain Dodd, when the accident happened.

After the 2087 committee amendments are disposed of, the senate will go back gar and.a number of other commodities. The promised disagreement between the. house "and. senate over the question of American valuation is not expected to materjaiize, leaders on both sides of the senate holding that the house will yield on this question in view of the flexible tariff provisions written into the bill by the senate committee in accord with the recommeéndations of President Harding. As the fight over rates goes forward | in the senate, Tentimént in favor of a “sclentific tariff to be built around ree- ommendations of the tariff commission” apparently continue to increase.

There is a shallow bit of water in the river just above the dam at Killingly worsted plant where the boys went bathing. A few feet from shore the stream cuts its way ‘through a rock gorge with about 30 foot depth of water and it appears that young Willlams, who could not swim stepped off the shelf into deep water and was drowned before the eyes of his companions. Several other drownings have occurred at this point in years past and the grappling hook that brought Williams' body to the surface has previously been used to haul out other drowned persons.

P)— Although the cheéck to the country's business recently imposed by the strikes srew ‘during the past week, the curtail- ment is not yet large and a definite set- back to the industrial revival is not yet & probability. The steel industry, which has been -operating at a comparatively high rate, appears to be the chief suffer- er. Here the loss of production is some- thing like ‘ten per cent. This indus- try, too, has been considerably upset over the possible effects of the priorities established with regard to coal distri bution. The trade realizes that its position is ot the preferred one enjoved durihg the war. Second thoughts on priorities have, however, been more reassuring. 1t is realized that dislocations in the existing siguation are ot likely to be as severe as at first surmised, and that the gen- eral effect ‘of ‘priorities should be a re- duction in congestion-and 2 gain in coal output. Car loading figures meanwhile have been reassuring. The total number for the week ended July 15 is 861,000, which | represents a recovery of 143.000, as com- pared with the previous holiday week. The total is within 17.000 of the high record for the year. Exclusive of coal. loadings were close to the high record for all time. It may be seen, therefore, that general business so far has suf- fered relatively- slightly. Coal production, on the other hand, re- mains’ poor. The Geological Survey's estimate for the week ended July 22, amounted to only 3.600.000 tons, or prac- tically ‘ the “smallest total for any week in recent ‘years. Railroad congestion was agdin the cause of the loss in out-| put.. In this connection the carriers claimed: that the start:of the past ‘week showed a considerable gain in coal load- ings, but pending. publication of returns for the eniire week it is difficult to say how important the. gain may be. Some Tesumption of mining in the Pittsburgh district is reported, and it is intimated that actual output for-the past week come up to 3,800,000 fons. This )Q\Z!, however, is still some 1,250.000 tons: below that reached during June and any important gain is ‘considered doubt- ful until rafiroad congestion is mater- ially relieved. With regard to the strikes themselves, financial circles showed greater optim- ism. Chances for an early settlement in the shopmen's walk-out were consid- ered good. while the atmosphere sur- rounding the coal _strike megotiations was thought to be improved. It was rointed out that an agreement with ths shopmen would be likely to hasten an end of the coal strike and that affairs are now, reaching a stage at which all I parties concerned are becoming increas- ingly anxious for a resumption of actfv- ity. In the commodity markets good ex- port 'buying barely held wheat prices against hedge and short-selling. ' Wea- ther conditions continued favorable, and there was no appreciable change in erop prospects. Cotton prices gave away somewhat before liquidation in anticipa- tlon of the government's August 1 crop estimate, which is expected to show an increase over the previous month's estl- mate. The market steadied. however, before the close of the week. With the reserve ratio of the com- bined federal reserve system at & mew high record of 79.2 per cent. well inform- ed observers anticipate nn early chanzs in. monetarv conditions. The gain in ra- tio is partlv due to importations of Britich zold. hut commercial demands for credit remain light and the gold im- ports are expected to continue. The strikes. furthermore, are acting as a curb on potential trade demands for ac- commodations. THREE PRISONERS BREAK FROM MONMOUTH, N. J., COUNTY JATL Freehold. N. I..

The Turkish atrocities, the note comu- tinues, make it vital for Greece to adopt more . energetic _measure against the Turks, but the Greek government is wili- ing to discuss the matter with the allies. General Harington's declaration that he will oppose by force any move toward Constantinople, caused deep discourage- ment and disappointment in Greece as newspapers had been leading the people to belleve Greek occupation of Constanti- nople would not be resisted by the al- lies. After a three-hour session of the cab- inet Saturday, the government handed a supplementary note to the allied diplo- mates. The contents have not been dis- closed. An announcement that the Greek gov- crnment is prepared to extend the war against the Turks beyond the aiready extensive borders, caused intense ex- citement on the Bourse and further ag- gravation of Greece's financial and com- mereial crisls.

PLAYED PART OF GHOST FOR PURPOSE OF PHOTOGEAPH Naples: Me.. July 30—The wraith of Ghost mountain, whose ectoplasmic out- lines were photographed recenfly by H. Allen Lushear of Newark, N. J. was materialized for the bemefit, of summer boarders. Mrs. Pearlie Chapin. owner of the haunted house on top of the moun- tain, admitfed today. There was more than ectoplasm to the Newark man's ghost picture, Mcs. Chapin said, one of her boarders having played the part of spook for the purpose of the photograph. A party of eight nersons from the New Jersey city paid a nocturnal visit to the haunted house, which has a legend pre- served through passing generations of summer visitces. ~ According to this tale, an unhappy couple lived there and when the woman died her ghost returned to haunt the husband. The nightly visita- tions finally drove the man Insane, but the ghost continued to walk Lushear and his party were not disap- pointed. They described the vision they Faw as “A cloudy, unsubstantial form. in shape not unlike the mass that gathers on the candlestick as a candle melts.” Lushear. according to the story, “snap- ped” the ghost and then the party went ewiftly away from that place. This is not the first time summer vis- itors have been entertained with spirits, Mrs. Chapin said. Each summer for a number of years “manifestations” have beeen staged, but not always with equal success.
