STATION OUT TO The FARH-A- ND pwirf I s in Sulphur Springs. Mo. Failure of an engineer to heed a block signal caused the rear-encollision on the Missouri Pacific Saturday night In which thirty-six persons w ere killed and about 188 injured, twenfy-flv- e seriously, according to John Cannon, assistant general manager of the road. Train No. 4, a fast passenger, steel tralu running at full speed, crashed into No. 32, a local composed of five wooden day coaches a baggage and an express car, as the engine was taking on water with the coaches stretching back on a trestle ever Glalse Creek. The Impact hurled two of the local coaches down a fifty-too- t embankment edging the Mississippi and telescoped four other coaches, crushing a number of the passengers to death in their falls. Both trains were running behind time and the fast passenger, running from Fort Worth, Texas, to St. Louis, carried 180 passengers and the local 100 persons. According to Mr. Cannon, Matt G. Glenn of St Louis, engineer of the fast passenger, failed to heed a block signal warning him that the track was not clear ahead. Glenn, 57 years of age, an engineer for thirty-seveyears without a black mark against his record, was killed when he Jumped from the cab Just before the crash. Edward Tin8ley, also of St. Louis, fireman of No. 4, remained at his post and was injured seriously. Engineer Gleen shortly before arriving in Sulphur Springs received orders "on the run" to pull over on a Biding at Clilt Cave, ten miles north of here, to allow "Sunshine Special No. 1," en route from St. Louis to Texas points, to pass, and Mr. Cannon explained theengineer failed to hoed the block signal because he apparently was reading these orders when he passed the Mock. Just south of the scene of the disaster there is a curve in the road, which cut off view of the local train on the trestle. Missouri Pacific officials, however, emphasized that the Mock signals were operating in perfect order, and Engineer Glenn should have slowed his train down so that he could have come to a halt almost Belfast.

Twenty thousand motor- men, conductors and guards on surface and elevated lines went on strike at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning and the greater part of the working portion of Chicago's nearly ,30qp,000 persons were forced to seek improvised transportation. As usual, all rolling stock avail able. Including every variety of wheeled, pullable, pushable or motorized vehicle, was inadequate, and the brunt of the traffic fell on "shanks' mare." Thousands started early nfoot, and from wjoll before dawn streets and avenues leading to the business and manufacturing districts seethed with pedestrians. Streets in the down town district one became way automatically But even that action thoroughfares. by the police departeuertt was not enough to avoid badly tangled Jams of traffic. Hundreds of Jitney busses from surrounding towns were in the Job with the break of day, having been summoned days ago by Charles C. chief of police, when a strike appeared to be Inevitable. The walkout really began at 11 o'clock Monday night, when the surface carmen ending runs at that hour took their cars to the barns. From then on, as runs were finished, the left off nkotormen and conductors work, and In the early hours of the morning the number of cars on the streets gradually dwindled to zero. Negotiations have been under way between the surface line workers and the surface line owners for several days, after posting of an order for a wage reduction of approximately 17 per cent All efforts to bring about an agreement between the company and the workmen were announced as Fltz-morri- s, speclfk-djterrltories- .

The elevated employees, who had called a meeting for Tuesday night, unanimously voted to cooperate in the strike Monday night Early Tuesday carpenters went over the elevated lines boarding up the entrances to the stations.

The flumes were der control by the fire departtnen. The cause of the tplos:.(n Is unknown. j do-e'- t 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, Bent 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 capltol, after their acceptance of all the president's proposals excepting that regarding restoration of 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. Violence was reported from six cities in as many states during the fight Carl Spradley was killed during an exchange of shots at Van Buren, Ark., between guards in the Missouri Pacific shops and men said to be strikers. The dead man's brother, Will Spradley, was wounded, but will recover, physicians say. At Jackson, Mich., several were slightly injured when more than 1000 strikers and sympathizers, including many women and children, attacked nonunion workers leaving the shops ot the Michigan Central railroad. Eighty strike sympathizers attacked more than sixty workers In the Chicago Great Western shops at Des Moines, la. One man was severely injured and a dozen of the workmen were missing when police stopped the fighting. Three Special guards of the Southern Pacific at East Bakersfield, Cal., were fired on. In Lincoln, Neb., more than 100 men, women and boys, said to be strikers and sympathizers, attacked the home of a Burlington route car foreman A demonwith bricks and stones. stration before the home of another n worker was broken up. Four employes of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas were beaten at Upton, Tex., by fifteen men said to bo strikers. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul was granted a temporary restraining order forbidding Interference with operations in Helena, Mont Chicago. Washington. Believing that the rery life ot unionism is at stake in the fight between the railroad executives and the striking shop craftmen, organized labor is preparing to meet the situation with its full strength, it was made known to the United Press Friday. "The menace of a huge industrial conflict the greatest in the history of the country is in the air," aa American Federation of Labor official stated. This official Is known as a conservative and generally opposed to the use of such weapons as the sympathetic strike, no v being urged on President Samuel Gompers by the heads of unions in all parts of the country. Both conservatives and radicals alike make no secret ot their determination to support the shop craftsmen in a fight to the finish. Labor's nex't move depends largely on the action of President Harding. Harding and his cabinet met Friday to decide whether the administration shall stand aside and permit the executive and the strikers to fight it out, or take futher steps for peace. Harding is not Inclined to take decisive action, such as taking over railroads that fail to function until every other medium has been exhausted. But whenever he believes the public interest is menaced, he will not hesitate to take a step he has. made it known. He has full constitutional power to secure receiverships for all railroads that fail to function his advisers as-- , sured him. NORTHWEST MENACED BY general fund levy was then 2.2 mills.
