Lewis Will Open Settlement Confer
ence With Hard Coal Men In
Philadelphia "
Cleveland.—The soft' coal strike has
been virtually broken, and prospects
are that the actual signing of an agree
ment between the United Mine Work-
INVITATION FOR CONFERENCE IS
- SENT DEWITT CUYLER. BY
.WARREN H STONE
Is Preparing Statement In Which He
Will Give i rue Situation To
House And Public
New York.—Railroad executives and
heads of the five brotherhoods will
meet here soon in an effort to bring
ers and Operators, controllling an an
nual output of sixty million tons, will
soon be signed. The signing of the
contract will actually end the strike in
part. ' '
.All details of the agreement Jhave
been accepted in principle by ^both
miners and operators, and the actual
draft of the contract has been left to
a sub-committee, which is at -Work on
that document. The actual signing
of the contract, President L. Lewis of
the miners says, will follow a meeting
of the union’s policy committee.
As a result of the progress made
by operators and miners, Gov. Harry
L, Davis of Ohio announces lie will call
off the conference of governors, of five
coal producing states that was to have
met here to consider^" strike sit
uation. He also announces that he
will withdraw Ohio militiamen who
recently were sent into the coal fields.
No exact estimate of the number of
miners who will be put hack to work
under the settlement is obtainable,’ hut
between sixty tnousand and seventy-
five thousand men. Altogether, there
are 460,000 sqft coal miners on strike,
union officials say. It is expected by
them that the other operators will ac
cept the settlement effected here, hut
meanwhile the strike will continue at
their mines.
■The terms of the settlement mark a
breakdown in the system of collective
bargaining that has grown up In the
soft coal Industry since 1884. It means
the abandonment for the present at
least of the central competitive field,
comprising western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as the basis
for fixing the wages In fields outside
the four states. In the past wage con
tracts have been made for the cen
tral field and those of outlying districts
have been fixed on ‘the central field
scale.
This is not the first time, however,
that the wage-making machinery on the
central field basis has broken down.
It failed in 1906 and was not fully re
established until 1910.
Upson County Peaches Boom

epunty peaches this year has far sur

anent Hiley Belles and Elbertas as
.this year. He regrets that the peaches
■were, ail sold on the trees Ipng before
tbiey ripened. Many more orchards are
toeing planted, and it will not be long
before Thomaston is the-leadipg peach
center of the state. '

Tariff Rates Are Raised By Senate

vision of the tariff bill, the senate fi

already agreed to by the senate.
Former Premier Briaand Is Arrested
Rouen, France.—Police headquarters
here, following an epidemic of petty
(chicken coop thefts, recenty sent out
insructioris for all. the commissariee oi
this district to be on the lookout for
suspicious characters hud to demand
their papers of identity. A young am
bitious gendarme, recently appointed,
hailed , a pedestrian along the high
road who was not so armed. The
gendarme escorted his prisoner to the
nearest police station, two miles west
of here, for further examination.
. Columbia, S. C.—Seaboad/Air Line
passenger, train No. 2, northbound from
Jacksonville to Washington, jumped
the track half a mile from Dixiana,
resulting in one dead and three injured.
Engine and three cars were derailed.
Dead and Injured are: 'Engineman
John W. Preacher, Savannah, scalded

Marks on crossties showed that a
truck, thought to he of the engine
rather than the tender, left the rails
just as the passed over the dirt

left the track. '
“It looks as if the engine truck was
derailed at the road crossing, about 200
yards from the scene of the smash, and
ran on the ties until the truck was
demolished and this derailed the en
gine,”, said H. H. Thomas, yardmaster,
when asked as to the cause.
an end to the railroad strike.
The meeting was arranged after War
ren S. Stone, grand chief of the bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers, had
telegraphed T. DeWitt Cuyer, chairman
of the Association oi Railway Execu
tives, asking for another conference to
seek agreement between the roads and
their, striking sliopmon. Cuyler ac
cepted.
The brotherhoods,.whose men are
not on strike pxcept in a few scatter
ed localitiesT'are acting virtually as
mediators betwoen the shopmen and the
executives. Bert M. Jewell, leader of
the striking shopmen,'will not be pres
ent.at the meeting..
What proposals the brotherhoods
have.to offer could not be learned. The
attitude of railroad executives on the
seniority issue, which caused the fail
ure of President Harding’s pence pro
posals, has not changed, so far as
nould be ascertained.
Cuyler refrained from comment.
• A dispatch from Washington says
that before long the" American public
will probably know whether the threat-
eniiig. rail, strike is to be terminated
by amicable means or the nation is
to go on a semi-military basis, in order-
to assure movement of the trains.
The president is going befpre con
gress with a statement on thp situa
tion, according to official anouncement
at the white house, unless he alters
his plan to give rail executives and
big four brotherhood leaders a chance
to reach an understanding, at a con
ference called in New York.

Fundamental Conditions Are Sound
New York.—Prolongation of both the
coal and railroad strikes has brought
a further tightening of the brakes on
the wheels of industry, but,, the under
tone of the markets of tfie country
has nevertheless remained firm. It be
came increasingly evident as the past
week advanced that all parties con
cerned were desirous of coming to an
agreement and that no insurmountable
obstacles stood In the way. The mod
erate advance in stock prices under
the leadership of railroad shares, re
flected the belief that a settlement was
imminent — a belief which- was not
shaken by growing disaffection among
the railroad brotherhoods and realiza
tion that a coal fajnine was a serious
possibility. *
