There was a lull Thursday in peace maneuvers in the railroad strike. Rail men were reticent and there was no forecast of where the next peace effort would originate. Strike leaders turned their attention toward Washington, where President Harding had a telegram, sent by the shopmen, accepting his peace proposals upon condition the unions interpretations of the settlement suggestions be recognized. Railroad executives were also awaiting news from the capitol, after their acceptance of all the presidents proposals exceptof ing that regarding restoration seniority rights to strikers. Railroad men noted the invitations of the Southern railway to striking shopmen to negotiate for a settlement based on President Hardings plan, but made no comment At Dallas, Tex., the Texas division headquarters of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, announced union men, now on strike would be employed only as new men.

Rail strike Assume control of roads, particularly those in the coal producing regions, whenever it becomes apparent that as a result of the shopmen's strike they are unable to properly serve the public. non-unio- Senator Smoot said he wanted the senate and the country to know that this propaganda that has been spread from one end of the country to the other Is a continuation of the fight against domestic sugar producers by the sugar refiners.

Although it had been found impossible in the struggle last week to formulate a successful program for fixing a definite date for disposing of the bill itself, the agreement finally evolved Saturday, it was hoped would expedite so a final vote could be had before September 1. The agreement to get the more important items still in dispute cleaned up this week, so far as amendments are concerned, came during debate on the sugar schedule. It will serve to curtail sharply discussion on many points and was worked out by several hours of conference between majority and minority representatives. As the senate program now stands, the sugar schedule is to be disposed of by Tuesday, and before adjournment that day a vote will also be taken on amendments to paragraphs dealing with potash and white arsenic. On Wednesday the leather schedule, boots, shoes and hides will go through the mill, and on Friday will come action on sections proposing a flexible tariff adjustment and also on "scientific" tariff proposals.

Senators will work on a time limit during the entire debate this week, being restricted to an hour on any of the amendments included under the schedules named in the agreement. Senator Harrison asked unanimous consent to call up the resolution, but Senator Smoot objected, and then Senator Nicholson (Rep.1, Colorado, made a motion that the sugar schedule be laid aside until there had been an investigation. A point of order by Senator Smoot that this motion was out of order was upheld by Senator Cummins (Rep.) Iowa, who was presiding. Senator Nicholson declared that very serious charges had been made in articles read to the senate Saturday by Senator Harrison, and that he felt the senate should not proceed with the consideration of the sugar schedule until there had been an in vestigation.
