COAL miners and operators of reached an agreement on the lines of that adopted ut Cleveland, the men winning all their contentions. Production was resumeu at once, but In thnt state as elaewherjp, and as was to be expected, the profiteers also reminied and prices began to climb, to the dismay of the consumers. I'roin various sources protests against this reached the authorities in Wash-ington. Congress, having been urged to action by President Harding, showed It was alive to the situation. The house took up the administration bill for a coal commission reported from the committee on Interstate and foreign commerce and speedily passed It, only reducing the salaries of the commissioners from $10,000 to $7,500 and the appropriation for Its expenses from $.")00,000 to $.".00,000. In accord-ance with the desire of the Presi-dent, the bill prohibits the appoint-ment of any operator or miner as a member. In the senate a similar bill Introduced by Senator Borah was consent In this letter the President refers to the unfavorable effect of the question of the sale of liquor on American ships oh the subsidy legis-lation, and also refers to opposition' which baa arisen to the feature of the bill which provides tax exemption to shippers of freight on American ships equal to a percentage of the money paid for such shipments.

PICKARD SENIORITY rights were still of the railway Shopmen's strike as last week drew to a close, and though pt-ac-e efforts were eontlnued, their success was worse than problematical In view of the un-compromising stand of both sides on the chief point in dispute." On Wednes-day the Association of Railway Execu-tives, by a vole of 254 to 4, rejected the proposal of the ciders of the brotherhoods, acting as radiators, that the strikers be reinstated with seniority unimpaired. The brother-hood leaders, after conferring with beads of other rail unions, suggested tie possibility of separate agreements with the railroads, and the executives said they would test the sincerity of this proposal, but with the distinct understanding that any Individual settlement would have to conform to Wu, the north China military leader, has pledged his support to Sun's pol-icy for reorganization of the govern ment. He also has the backing of the labor organizations, and of large delegations from various cities. TRULY a, martyr to the cause he Michael Collins, head of the Irish Free State and commander of Its armies, was slain last week by the republican rebels. In his death and that of Griffith Ireland has lost her two strongest leaders, but others will endeavor to carry on the work of establishing a government and re-storing peace. Collins with a guard of a dozen men was making a tour of Inspection In County Cork and was ambushed by a party of several hun-dred irregulars. The fight lasted an hour until the general fell, shot through the head. He lived for 15 minutes, cheering on his comrades and firing his revolver. Collins was scarcely thirty years old and was soon to be married. Ho was beloved by the Free Staters and highly re-spected by all Great Britain. He had labored earnestly to placate the re-publicans and was planning to redraft some sections of the Irish constitu-tion to which they objected. William T.Cosgrove Is now acting heaJ of the Irish provisional government PREMIER POINCARE, In an Bar-le-Du- c, reiterated and emphasized the Intentions of France concerning Germany. He said France was determined to make Ger-many pay for the devastation she wrought In the war and that If nec-essary he would act alone. He as-serted that France would not consent to a moratorium of any character for Germany unless the German state mines of the Ruhr and the national forests are placed In the hands of the allies as a guarantee, and, no matter what happens, France will not depart from this policy. He denounced as false the claims that France sought to enslave Germany in revenge, but gave figures to show that Germany was responsible for her own collapse and that her failure to 'Ive up to the demands cf the reparations had been deliberate. He said the execution of the treaty and the pay-ment of reparations were vital to France, while Great Britain, finding Its Industries paralyzed and Its peo-ple out of employment, was obsessed with regaining Its markets. H added: passed, and the two measures went to .conference for adjustment of the small differences. Negotiations for the settlement of the anthracite strike were boken off, their failure seeming to be complete. Official Statements Indicated that the duration of a contract and the sub-mission to arbitration of any differ-ences were the stumbling blocks thnt could not be overcome by the negotia-tors. Representatives of the mine workers insisted upon a contract at the old wage rate, to extend to April l. 1924. while the operators would not agree to a continuation of the old scale longer than next April. The miners maintained their stand against arbitration. JOHN SHANK, secretary of the and labor assembly of Sioux City, Ia Is authority tor the state-ment that plans are maturing for a general nation-wid- e strike of organ-ized, labor. He says various union organizations have called on the executive council of the American Federation of Labor to call such a strlk.e. Probably this need not be feared while the more conservative element remains in control of . the council. However, the activities of the Reds and radicals are Increasing. Last week those chronic disturbers held a rather secret conference In Berrien county. Mlchlcan. federal and state agents of Justice watched them a few days and then made a raid. The radicals had leen warned, however, and only 17 were caught. William Z. Foster, one of their lead-ers, was arrested In Chicago. Much Red propaganda was seized and the officers said they hnd broken up a huge plot to foment violence In con-nection with the railroad strike. Michigan's syndicalism law, which has never before been used, was In-voked against the prisoners. It was said other radicals would be arrested, among them Row Pastor Stokes. Ac-cording to the raiders, the propaganda seized In Michigan Included pam-phlets advocating the overthrow of the government and the establishment of a soviet regime. SENATORS who are opposed to the bonus seemed to have given up hope last week, or else they merely were In a hurry to get through with the bill and ro home. Anyhow, they were so supine that the senate broke Its speed records In adopting the finance committee amendments and taking up consideration of Indi-vidual suggestions of changes. That the measure would be passed within a few days was conceded, and Senator McCumber said be din not believe the President would veto It, since the conditions that caused Mr. Harding and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to seek delay last year have been met. Mr. McCumber placed emphasis on the points that the annual outlay for payment of the bonus has been reduced to such a figure that the ar-gument of the Inability of the treasury to bear the strain no longer holds good, and that the financial condition of the government and the country Is quite capable of withstanding the bur-den which the bonus will Impose. TI1K administration ship subsidy will not be considered fur-ther by congress until the December session. This delay has been urged by the Republican leaders, and now President Harding In a letter to l!ey - ?nlatlve Mondell has given his the understanding of seniority reached at the general session of the execu-tives. Most of the railroads also re-fuse to agree to take back all of the strikers, as consistently demanded by the union. Bert M. Jewell, spokesman for the Btrlhers, was pessimistic as to a peace-ful settlement He Issued a state-ment saying: "The association of railway execu-tives has closed the door. The unions have offered every concession within reason to end the strike and to save the public from a breakdown of trans-portation, but the association has made none. On the contrary it has, since the strike began, raised an en-tirely new and Irrelevant Issue of its own seniority ; and by its refusal to recede from Its position has made a settlement Impossible at this time. The responsibility for what will bap-pe- n now rests wholly upon It "The shop craft employees voted In June for a strike to establish a living wage and decent working conditions. The association of railway executives have now voted for a lockout to smash unionism on the railroads and to eliminate collective bargaining from the Industry. "The 400.000 striking employees ac-cept the challenge of the association. We redouble our efforts, confident of success." the American Federation of FROM came an apieal to Its four million members to give their moral and financial support U the striking shopmen. It attributes to "the small but powerful group of bankers who control the finances of the railroads" the adoption of a policy by the rall-- ; roads of "bitter antagonism to the organizations of the workers," reaa-- i sorting what many unprejudiced per-sons believe, namely, that there Is a deliberate plan to destroy the unions. Most of the sporadic strikes of brotherhood men soon came to an end, but hist week the Southern railroad s badly tied up by walkouts of train and engine men. The situation bei'Hine so serious that the superin-tendent of malls In tho southern dis-trict planned to bundle mails by mo-tortruck service, with the possibility f f cnlling on the army to handle and prorect the trucks. Secretary of War Weeks Fiibl he did not believe the administration ivomd nuike further attempts to set-tle the railway strike, and added: "The government Is not going to per-mit transportation service to break lown." "We are greatly disposed to aid other nations in the effort to restore the world. We know the world does not end nt our frontiers. We wel-come a broad and generous European policy. We fervently desire to remalq allies of our allies and friends of our friends. We nsk nothing better than to resume with our enemies of yester-day pleasant and courteous relations. But we wish to have our ruins re-pairedand they will be."
