House Saturday for the purpose of de-vising "methods upon' which negotia-tions for the settlement of the coal strike can be Initiated." It was un-derstood that attendance at the meet-in- s did not bind either the operators or the miners to acceyt any conditions thiit might be laid down.

The subcommlssion then practically agreed upon cancellation of the Rus-stu- n war debts and a moratorium on pre-w- debts find Interest. The financial Information thus dragged from the Russians has hitherto been kept scrupulously secret by them. Lltvlnoff told American corre-spondents that the soviet government had issued a decree recognizing LABOR BOARD TAKES ACTIOS n rights to private Coal Miners' Representative and Op-erators Ca.led Into Conference by President Harding Germany Upset by Murder of Rath-ena- u Fierce Battle Is Fought in Dublin. By EDWARD W. PICKARD FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND rail shop workers were called out on strike, effective Saturday morning, and the order Included also all Pull-man shopmen In the country. An equal number of maintenance of way em-ployees was expected to Join In the walkout, though as their strike vote had not been completely canvassed. It whs said tbelr action might be deluyed few days, j ' The strike was set on the day when the rail workers were to undergo a cut of $134,000,000 in wages, and when the $4(0,0(0.000 freight rate reduction went Into effect. B. M. Jewell, head of the shop, crafts, had told the rail-way executives the strike would be functioned unless they agreed to Ig-nore the federal labor board's wage reduction order, to restore certain working rules which the board had eliminated and to abolish the "fanuin out" system adopted by some of the railroads. The railway managements would not yield, and the strike deci-sion was promptly sanctioned by the following six International union pres-idents, constituting the mechanical section of the railway employees' de-partment i. William H. Johnston. In-ternational Assoilatlon of Machinists: J. W. Kline, International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers of America: J. A. Franklin. International Brotherhood of Boiler-makers, iron Shipbuilders and Helpers of America: .1. J. Hynes. Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers' International al-liance; James P. Noonnn, Internation-al Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and Martin V. Ryan. Brotherhood of Railway Car Men of America. Railway iiiHnti(?ers were con'ldenf that the strike would not greatly handicap transportation operations, at least for some time. They had antici-pated It by making such provisions us were possible, and besides, as bus been noted before, the train service men and dispatchers are not Involved In the present controversy, and will con-tinue at work. Otlicltjls of the miners' union have realized that public sympathy Is lost to them by such occurrences as the shoe-Kin- inasticre of non-unio- n men in Williamson county, Illinois, and not only disown ull responsibility for acts of violence, but cull on the strikers to maintain the peace for their own snkes. Many of the residents und some of the public otllclals of the southern Illinois region where the out-rages tool; place seem to be In sym-pathy with the murderous miners, and there is little prospect that the men who slaughtered the strike-breaker- s will be arrested and prosecuted. Wounded survivors of the maosacre In the hospital ut Herrln were carefully guarded, for threats bad been made that they would not be permitted to leave the town alive, lest they testify ligtlnst the murderers. The mayor, however, guaranteed their sufety. P RESIDENT HARDING'S statement to congress lust December sug-gesting regulating of labor unions was severely criticized by the special pol-icy committee of the American Federa-tion of l.ubor In Its report to the Cin-cinnati convention. "It would seem." the report says, "that the propaganda for Industrial feudalism supported by pollttcal bureaucracy has found Its way Info the White House." It Is most regrettable to note the utterances of the President of the United States wherein he disapproves of labor's re-luctant but necessary resort to the right to strike against Industrial of Governor Small of ACQUITTAL the charge of conspir-ing to defraud the fctate was no sur-prise to those who had watched the progress of the trial and observed the at ft tide of the Jury. The hitter held ttnit the prosecution failed to truce to the governor any of the misappropri-ated funds. A sad sequel wl.s the sudden death of the governor's wife, who suffered n stroke of apoplexy dur-ing the Impromptu1 celebration at their home In Kankakee. .Sympathy for Mr. .Small In his bereavement was general und genuine, but unfortunately a lot of ghouls tried to make political cai-It-out of his greut loss.

Then came the story that forty Americans connected with oil companies In the Tumplco region were held captive by bandits. This report was denied by President Obregon him-self after Investigation. Our State department, however, whs informed that the bandits bud released the forty and then had seized 85 employees of a Dutch-Britis- h oil company, Including six Americans. SOVIET RUSSIA'S representatives, by the wily I.ltvinoff, en-tered the conference nt The Hague Inst week and at first assumed a dellunt nnd uncompromising uttltude. They Insisted that the first thing to be discussed and established must be the property of all kinds except land. The allied and neutral delegates said that If this decree were genuine. It was the most Important move the Russians had made since the adoption of their new economic policy, GERMAN nationalists "who had great demonstra tions for last week In favor of restoration of the monarchy, decidedly overshot their mark by the assassina-tion of Dr. Walter Rathenau, the min-ister of foreign affairs and one of the country's wealthiest Industrial mag-nates. The soclullsts and other groups were so aroused by the murder thnt drastic steps were taken which effec-tually stopped the proposed uprisings. Chancellor Wlrth nnd the cabinet Im-posed restrictions that approached martial luw, a "state of emergency'' being declnred. The monarchists, however, did not remain silent and their societies Joyfully celebrated the death of Rathennu. In Bavaria, where they are especially strong, the restric-tive measures were Ignored by popu-lace and otllclals alike. Stormy scenes look place In the relchstag In Berlin,, the nationalists being denounced as murderers. In the German section of Upper Silesia alone was there any actual monarchist uprising. Govern-ment troops and nationalists fought In several towns, and the affair then de-veloped Into a pogrom, many Jews being robbed and killed. Rathennu was considered one of the ablest ministers In Europe ant? was doing bis best to restore relation? between Germany and the allied na-tions. In France his murder was re giirded as probably ending any policj of conciliation In settling the repara tions problem. IRISH FREE STATE forces, wltf, aid of English guns and advice fought fiercely with the republican Ir regulars In the very heart of Dublin last week, and nt this writing tht Issue of the buttle Is undecided. The republicans held possession of the Four Courts building and also ot several hotels In the vicinity. The Free Staters surrounded the Four Courts and attacked with rifle and artillery fire nnd bomb-thrower- ant by Friday the casualties were some where near one hundred. The attaclt ers were hampered by their desire not to Injure the handsome building and to spare the Invaluable records It con-tains. ICumon de Valera In an Inter view characterized the Irregulurs as "the bravest of the brave in our na-tion." In otter parts of Irclnnd the Insurgents were active and the pro-visional government Issued three mani-festoes explaining why It was com-pelled to act against them. LATEST advices from China ar encouraging. Gen. Chen Chlung-MIng- , who drove Sun Yat Sen from Canton, was said to have been assassinated while at a meeting of his military leaders. Doctor Sun himself, who apparently Is again free, Is plan-ning to retake Canton us soon as his troops arrive from the north and t his regime there. The leuders In (he Peking government are' In favor of establishing the "United States of China." There was some hope that Ben Hooper, chairman of the labor board coi.ld itave erf t!.e rtrlVe fHr-sini-d Ing certain roads to cancel their con-tracts for shop work, but It was con-sidered rather unlikely thnt this would satisfy the unions. Furthermore, bit-ter Internal strife In the labor board developed. The majority members, comprising the group- - representing the public and the railways. Issued n state-ment that labor members. In their dis-senting opinions, were "sowing some of the seeds that have germinated and blossomed Into Industrial anarchy In Russia." that tby had "advised the employees to strike against the deci-sion of the board" and bad advanced "Incendiary arguments to the railroad employees In favor of striking against a decision of I lie board." The board called the shop crafts In-ternational oflicers and the railway ex-ecutives to appear before It for an In-quiry. PRESIDENT HARDING finally hus action in the mat-ter of the coal strike. The adminis-tration, ib'itugh a high government ofhclul, stated Its position thus: "Coul Is going to be mined In sullictent qunn-- i tity to p.evcnf any ful famine next vtnts-.- ' and It was added thut If peaceful measures to end the strike failed, more drastic uctlon would be taken. Next. Mr. Harding Invited the represenluth "s of the miners und to u conference In the White credits to be accorded Russia by the other nations, and to every other proposition Litvinoff merely replied: "We want credits or goods; have you got any?" Outside the conference ball, he said cash was not necessary but Russia was anxious to buy abroad and must have credits from cither foreign governments or foreign companies. After this wa;-- settled, said he, the conference could take up the question of private property and debts and the status of Russian bonds. The experts of Britain, France Hnd Italy were equally firm in opposition and finally Litvinoff consented to submit to the DISAFFECTED Republicans ol in combination with the Nonpartisan league, defeated Senator Porter J. McCumber for miming In bis stead Lynn J. Frazler, former governor who was recalled. McCumber has been in the somite 23 years, chairman of thp finance committee, and second in rank on the foreign relations committee. Ills defeat Is another blow to the "old guard."
