NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Strike of Bituminous Miners Set-tled Temporarily and in Feeble Ma:.rr. BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY Negotiations Between Railway Ex-ecutives and Shopmen Resumed Violence by Strikers Exasperates the Public France Ready to Enforce Sanctions Against Defaulting Germany. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ONE of our great strlkes that of bituminous miners was set-tled lust week, partially, temporarily, and after a fashion. The agreement reached at Cleveland by the miners' officials and ierators representing perhaps 60,000,0(10 tons annual ''pro-duction means there will be enough coal to get through the fall and win-ter, though conservation and ration-ing probably will be necessary. But the old wage scales and working con-ditions are to continue In effect until March 81, 1923, which means the high prices for coul that have prevailed tot several years will be maintained by the dealers. If they can do It, and slso that next' April the disputes and probably the strike will begin all over again. To be sure, the agreement provides for the creation of machinery to avert further strikes and to bring some. order Into the chaotic coal In-dustry, but the public must not count too much on this. Both the miners and the operators clnlm to have won a victory at Cleveland, the former because their wages and work conditions are un-changed, and the lutter because the miners signed agreements with Indi-vidual operators and also because the tribunals to be set up solve the issues revolving around the question of ar-bitration, which the miners oppose. The agreements were with opera-tors of nil the bituminous states ex-cept Illinois and Indiana, but the pros-pects for resumption of mining In those two states also was excellent. Already the coal profiteers are get-ting in their work. Senator Borah of Idaho called this to the attention of the federal fuel committee and an-nounced bis Intention of seeking ligls-latlo- n to check them. At the same time Fuel Distributor Spencer asked the railroads to refrain from competi-tive bidding for coal, the result of which bad been to force the price above the limit set by Secretary Hoov-er. It was stated In Washington thnt President Harding would ask congress to prss !pgl!HV'H nlvrtig ?.deru1 fuel committee legal powers' to con- - trol the IistrIhutlon and regulate the price of coul as a safeguard against hardship nr profiteering. It Is quite evident thn: unless the government do-- s come to the rescue, the settle-ment of the coul strike will be an ex-pensive thing for the consumer. final suggestion for settling the HIS t railway shopmen liuvlng been rejected by the union., and only accepted by the railway executives with reservations. President Harding Ivst nearly all the wonderful patience with which be has been dealing with 'hat problem. On Friday the President laid the inoi matter before congress. Ai'ter lecturing the right of employer nuA employee alike to conduct their busi-ness must be recognized, Ik said be us "resolved to use all the power of the government to maintain transpor-tation and sustain the right of men to work." He said the Ksch Curnniiris act was iiisdequute and recommended ac-tlo-to make the railway labor board's decisions "enforceable ami effective against carriers and employees alike." lie scored severely the strikers .for their acts of brutality and their con-tempt for law. ftid announced his In-tention to Invoke laws, civil and crim-inal forbidding conspiracies hindering Interstate con kwrce uni' rcu ri;),; wfctj u- - rnil-.vf- rvic The President, asserted a national In-vestigation of the coal Industry was necessary and recommended a federal commission to advise as to fair wages and conditions. In discussing coal the President re-ferred to what he termed the "shock-ing crime at Herrln, 111. which so re-cently shamed and horrified the coun-try," and added the Incident was "butchery of human beings outright In madness." WARNINGS of brotherhood alleged faulty equip-ment and the employment of armed guards would result In many sporadic strikes of members of their unions were fully Justified. Engineers, fire-men and trulnmen In numerous In-stances abandoned their trains and service, especially In the Far West, was badly crippled. Passengers were marooned for days In small towns In the desert regions and women, children and Invalids suffered greatly fnmi heat and lack of milk and Ice. In some enses the tending of relief trnlns ws prevented or delayed by the strikers. The government, the railway heads nnd the entire American public were thoroughly exasperated by these methods, and the brotherhood chiefs, realizing the great mistake their men were making, ordered them back to work. The beads of tha "big four" still Insist that equipment Is so de-generated that the lives of the train-jue- n are endangered, and they were pleased to read that President Hard-la- g had written to Chairman McChord of the Interstate commerce commis-sion Insisting that the federal laws relating to inspection of rolling stock and safety appliances must be strictly enforced, regardless of the public In-convenience which might ensue. As for the employment of armed guards, the striking shopmen and their sympathizers have by their actions de-stroyed completely the argument of the unions. They have mobbed, killed and maimed many nonunion shop workers In most cowardly fashion ; they hnve set fire to shops; they have torn np trncks, they have bombed trains, and they !rnve blown up at least one railway bridge. Wherever railwny property and workprs are not well protected by armed guards or state troops, acts of violence are per-petrated. Over and over again, in scores of places, the striking shopmen are proving themselves to be brutes nnd cownrds. Their only excuse If It be an excuse lies In the statement of Attorney General Duugherty that Red agitators and I. W. XV. leaders are ex-ceedingly active In fomenting troubles. TN ACCORDANCE with Its arranged plan, the senate voted Saturday on the tariff bill devised by Its committee an flounce, accepting It by a fair ma-jority, and the measure Is now In con-ference. During tli3 flnul days of de-bate several Important amendments were adopted, one it them authorizing the establishment of foreign trade cones In American ports where foreign grwutu may he brought 'n wHro? of duty to be stored, exhibited, mixed with domestic products and re-exported. Logs of fir, spruce, cedar and western hemlock were transferred to the free list, and so were scientific Instruments for educational purposes. The Democrats fnlled to get a reduc-tion of the rates on aluminum, and Senator Harreld (Rep., Okln.) lost bis fight for duties on crude petroleum and fuel oil. MISSISSIPPI Democrats staged a Tuesday in their senatorial primaries. The real fight was between former Senator James K. Vurdaman nnd Hubert D. Stephens. A third contestant was Miss Belle Kear-ney. She polled only about 17,(KK) votes," but that was enough 'o prevent "ordaman from getting the required majority; be received over a thousand more than Stephens. Under the state law It Is necessary to bold a second primary on September 5 to determine which .f the two men shall be the nominee. Some time ago former Pres-ident Wilson stated that he hoped Vurdairmn would : ot be sent to Wash-ington a In. UNABLE or unwilling to recede position he had taken re-garding Germany's failure to pay, Poincare returned to Purls and the al-lied conference In London broke up without result unless It be the mo mentous one of a rupture of the en-tente and the wrecking of the treaty of Versailles. The French premier summoned bis cabinet and It unquali-fiedl- y Indorsed all he had done and snld In London. It also decided the government was competent to handle the situation without convening parlia-ment, unless conditions become much worse. Though- - fully prepared to put Into fore the French sanctions against Germany, the cabinet decided to await the action of the reparations commission concerning a moratorium, Germany meanwhile defaulted In the war debts due on Tuesday, declaring In a note to the allies that this was due to the demand for foreign cur-rency to pay for urgently needed nec-essaries of life and to the fall In the value of the mark. The reparations commission was trying to devise some way of tiding over the situation until November or December when, It be-lieves, another meeting of the allied premiers will have to be held to con-sider the whole question of German debt and finances and the Interallied war debts. The break-u- p of the London confer ence caused another great decline In the value of the mark, and at the same time came a series of farm strikes throughout the country led by the communists and seriously threat enlng the harvests. Chancellor Wlrth, In a statement to press correspond ents, said: "'Germany cannot pay In gold. Ten million gold marks, paid this week, were drawn from money set apart to buy wheat this month. The first duty of the German government is to give bread to our slnklnc people. "In Austria, which Is less densely populated than Germany, the author Ity of the state has been endangered. Germany is now heading under full sail Into parallel conditions. What can Frunce gain from her policy? Our Inability to pay In gold will be fol-lowed by inability to pay tiianythlng. What comes after that Is not politics It Is social revolution. We of the German republic have restored har-mony In central Europe, where for-merly an entire upheaval threatened. We are today sitting at the deathbed of our work." THOUGH expected for some time, of Lord Northcllffe, the famous British Journalist and leading publicist of the world, came as a real shock. America feels the loss only less than Great Britain, for he was often In this country, knew thoroughly Its people and Its Ideals and was the greutest force In the promotion of close friendly relations between the two nations. His power In British poll tics was tremendous, and there Is no one to fill bis place. Viscount North-cllffe was burled In Westminster Ab-bey Thursday with all the honors that could be bestowed. Eminent persons, including many ambassadors, filled the edifice and the humbler folk thronged the streets outside. Iltisil Insurgents, having been totally routed In the South, broke Into renewed activity In the North and among other exploits cap-tured Dundalk In a surprise attack. But they wert unable to hold tho place more than n few days. Whea the regulars reoecupled It they took hundreds of prisoners. Regular river-bo- at service has been between Cork and Queenstown and normal conditions almost restored c that district. The Marconi radio sta-tion at Cllfden on the coast north of Gniway has been rescued from the rebels. The new Irish Free Stste lost one of Its wisest and strongest supports In the death of Arthur Grifllth, president of Dull Elreann, on August 12. Irish and English alike mourned him and his funeral In Dublin was tho ocensloa of a very remarkable demonstration. OVER In Chi;ta a pence parley was bggun, the agents of Gerr. Wu Pel Fu, war lord of the North; and of General Chang, dictator of Manchuria, and Sun Yat Sen, fors mer bead of the southern government, getting together In Shanghai. Repre-sentutlve- s of President LI and other! also were present. Doctor Sun, who reached Shanghai from Canton via Hongkong, said be had no personal ambitions and would obey parliament nnd support whomever it chose u lircfcldexit. 51Ki A Complete History of What Has Been Happening Throughout the World " WESTERN The interstate commerce commis- - f sion has held that existing carload rates on apples from Idaho and Utah , l . points, by way of Salt Lake City, to j Bieibee, Douglas and Nogales, Ariz., are unreasonably high, and directed that the rates be reduced to ?1.40' per hundred pounds. ' j Never in the history of the inter-- mountain west have there been mure ; motorists touring than this summer. Since the latter part of June they ' have swarmed into this , district by the hundreds daily. All previous es-timated and actual records have been shattered by at least a 2T per cent increase. News has been received by the for-estry officials that examination for forest rangers will be held at the head, quarters of the various forestry super-viser- s October 24. The service is anxious to have as many qualified men as possible enter the examina-tions. An examination for scalers will be held October 25 and 2rt, but the --4 place of examination have not yet f been announced. It took a mule driver, five city fire- - j men, a veterinarian, a hardware man, j a blacksmith and alout 1000 speet-- ) tors two hours and five minutes to j release a diminutive mule which j caught its foot in a street drain pipe j at Kansas City. Samuel M. Vaudain, president of the Baldwin locomotive works, an-nounced receipt of an order from the Union Pacific Railroad for IS locomo-tives to cost .$1)00,000. Construction of these engines will begin at once. After severely knifing Deputy War-- . den Arthur Muchow, four prisoners es-caped from the South Dakota pen-itentiary at Sioux falls, taking War-den George XV. Jamison with them. The prisoners fled In motor car parked by a tourist just outside the prison walls. GENERAL RepeuMican leaders are alarmee" over reports that the president whf not seek another term. Northwestern flour markets remain very unsettled. . Three big steel corporations, em-ploying nearly 300,000 workers, have announced a 20 per cent waue Increase for all day laborers in their manu- - fact u ring plants. Increased wages averaging 47 per cent and affecting between 30,000 and 40,000 nonunion miners in Westmore-land and Fayette counties. West Vir-ginia, were decided upon at a meet-ing of operators, it was officially an-nounced. The state governments of the Unit-ed States have a total debt of $1,071,-fiOtf- , 1)81.28, or $10.18 for every man, woman and child in the country, ac-cording to a nation-wid- e surveye of state finance just completed by the Rank of America, New York. Readjustment of wages bringing a close approach to normalcy as applied to mining has resulted in a return of the pendulum toward greater mining activity than has been experienced in the history of Alaska since the boom days. Mrs. Warren O. Harding, whose re. cent gift of $100 toward a fund to buy oats and hay for Clover, the r old horse, brought'her an offer of hon-orary membership In the Nyack So-ciety for the prevention of Crueiiy to Animals, she accepted the honor.

The crew of the giant seaplane Sam-pai- o Correia, which collapsed and fell into the ocean between Cuba and Hai-ti while attempting a flight from New ork to Mo de Janeiro, pro'ialdy will be landed at (iuan:anamo, Cuba, y the U. S. S. Denver. All members Jf the crew were picked up by the Denver after the plane made a bad Sanding and was smashed. The first Infestation of mildew on red clover in this country this year has appeared east of the Mississippi from isconsln to Georgia, says a report of the agricultural department. This mildew makes the plant look vite. Last fall it was quite pre-ihie-in the South, and is worse there this summer. Mgldly restrictive immigration n enacted by congress in June, i!21. to dam the flood of foreigners surging to American shores cost the state department over $.,000,000 in passport visa fees during the past fiscal year, and its position as the only self supporting department of the government as well. Running expenses of the govern-ment fell off by more than f i.TT.OOO,. 000 during July as compared with the same month last year, while public debt disbursements were reduced by 11)8,000,000, according to the monthly statement of expenditures issued by the treasurer. The attention of farmers In all sec-tions of the country to the free distrl. button of excess war explosives for farm work, is called by the United States detriment of agriculture. Since last fall the department, in coop-eration with the various state agri-cultural colleges, has distributed 3,000,000 pounds of picric acid, a sur. plus explosive, which Is very efficient, easy and safe to handle. In Minneso-ta the state agricultural college re-ports: "We feel that picric acid has been a great benefit to the state and aas done great deal to stimulate land clearing. All reports are to the ef-fect that its use has been highly sat-isfactory. The 774,000 pounds allotted to Minnesota were distributed to farmers, averaging 222 pounds per farmer. We estimate that this will clear 35,000 acres of land, and has made a saving of over 70,000 for the farmers of the slate."' FOREIGN Great I'.rltaln will hold an Inter, national Air Congress In London the last week of June, 1023.
