HARDING GIVES REASON FOR STRIKE COMPROMISE By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—ln his renewed effort to bring about a settle ment of the strike of railroad shopmen President Harding today handed the following message to B. Yl. Jewell, leader of the strikers: “The resolutions which you transmit on behalf of the execu tives do pledge that the carriers will recognize the validity of all decisions of the railroad labor board and to faithfully carry out such conditions as contemplated by the law.’. You convey the further agreement as expressed in the second paragraph of the pro posal that railroad labor board decisions which have been in volved in the strike may be taken in the exercise of recognized rights, by either party, to the railroad labor “board for hehear ing.’ 'The striking operators agreed to all the terms proposed there fore, only the question of senior ity, covered In paragraph three, which the executives rejected, re mains in dispute and bars a set tlement. "Mindful of pledge of both the executives and the strik ing workmen to recognize the validity of all decisions by the rail road labor board, I am hereby call ing on the striking workmen to return to work and calling upon the carriers to assign them work and calling upon both workmen and carriers under the law to take the question in dispute to the rail way labor board for rehearing and decision, and a compliance by both with the decisions rendered. "WARREN G. HARDING.” The President sent the following telegram to T. Dewitt Cuyler, chair man of the Association of Railway Executives, New York: “I had your communication In which you conveyed to me the resolutions of your association agreeing ot two paragraphs in the proposal which I submitted for the settlement of the pending strike of railway shop employes, and declining to accept the third, which provided for restoring seniority rights of the workmen on strike. Inasmuch as I was acting as sr voluntary mediator, seeking the earliest possible res toration of railway transporta to full efficiency, I confess a dis appointment that the terms were not accepted. “I had your communication in which you and your associates, speaking for the striking railway shopmen, pledged your agreement to the proposals which I sub mitted to the railway executives and your organizations for the settlement of the pending railroad strike. Inasmuch as I was act ing as a voluntary mediator, seeking the earliest possible settle ment, I confess to you the same disappointment which I have con veyed to the executives, that the terms were not unanmiously ac cepted- As you are already aware, the executives of the car riers declared their inability to re store seniority rights unimpaired. It is exceedingly gratifying, how ever, that in responding to the terms which were proposed that both the spokesmen for the car riers and the spokesmen for the employes have pledged that they will recognize the validity of all decisions by the railroad labor board and to faithfully carry out such decisions as contemplated by the law.” "Moreover, spokesmen for car k riots and employes have approved second paragraph of the pro- posal and In their approval have agreed that railroad labor board decisions which have been in volved in the strike may be taken. In the exercise of recognized rights, by either party to the railroad labor board for rehear ing.” “Inasmuch as the employes have agreed to all the terms pro posed and the executives have agreed to two of the bases of settlement and rejected the third there remains only the question of seniority covered in paragraph three In dispute to bar a settle ment. “Mindful of the pledge of both the executives and the striking workmen to recognize the validity of all decisions by the railroad labor board, I am hereby calling on the striking workmen to re turn to work, calling upon the carriers to assign them to work, and calling upon both workmen and carirers, under the law. to ta(ke the question in dispute to the railroad labor board for hear ing and decision and a compli ance by both with the decision rendered.” "WARREN G.

BENDER ANALYZES RESULTS Elections in Four States Tues day Will Complete Half of Year’s Quota. By ROBERT J. BENDER, United News Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. —Nearly half the Senators and Congressmen seeking re-election this year will have undergone their races for renomina tion after the primaries Tuesday in Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas and Wy oming. An analysis of the results to date reveals: 1- With few exceptions, both Re publican and Democratic incumbents, seeking a “vote of confidence” in the primaries, have been giveq that vote. 2. The few exceptions happen to be brighter light* in the Republican party, namely, Senators New and Mc- Cumber and Representatives Camp bell of Kansas and Ireland and Cop- 1 ley of Illinois. Drys Gain in House. 3. The 178 Congressmen thus far nominated Show a net gain of two drys in the House, the Peoria (111.) district, which voted out Representa tive Ireland, having preferred a wet, while three new drys are on the House list of prospects. Defeats thus far administered to Republican leaders in the primaries and other defeats they face in the coming electons have so stirred Ad ministration directors that there is increasing consideration of abandon ing the time-honored seniority rule. Both among Republicans and Demo crats the feeling is growing that the seniority rule is becoming “danger cue.” Every committee In the House, of course, is affected by this year’s elec tions. Republican leaders are not so concerned over the situation there as in the Senate, because, from the Ad ministration point of view, conditions are in "better shape.” Report to Governor The report of the findings of the State board of pardons at its laat monthly hearing was expected to be sent to Governor McCray for ap proval today.

So Bobby's response was a bungling and laughing affair, vastly different from the spontaneous, gallant kiss he had given Olive. Olive could well have rested on her laurels. But she herself was young enough to send a sting of resentment through her. Her successful thrust at Bobby in actually kissing him, where Olive only invited in play, decidedly piqued her. "Well, children," she said, rising with an end-to-the party manner, ‘‘it’s time all nice little schoolgirls were in bed. Tomorrow’s examination day, you know.” Olive’s proposal, practically punctur ing the carouse, raised conflicting feel ings. Winnie eagerly jumped in support of it. Ted Harker, faithful in his suppo-t of Winnie, seconded the motion. Bobby, wavering between several al legiances. hesitated, seeing how the mood would assert itself. Peggy, ta ken off her guard, white-hot at Olive’s "nice little schoolgirls,” said noth ing for the moment. The host of Mikado Inn alone protested. “AVhy, say, young folk,” said he, wagging his head, “your party’s just commenced. No one counts the hours when there’s fun a-going. My cel lar’s not empty by a good deal.” The host looked around for some one to take his part. Seeing Peggy not in the least eager for adjournment, he appealed to her: “Won’t you get them to stay? The fun is just beginning.” “I can only ask them,” said Peggy, coldly. “But they can’t resist your asking, little lady.” The host was beaming enthusiasm. "If you’re on my side, we win, that’s all. If it grows a bit late, and any one’s tired, there axe nice sleep ing quarters at the inn. It’s sweet out here in the early dawn, I can tell you! What do you say, Miss Peggy, Dean?” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service.)

McCardle, chairman of the State fuel emergency committee said today. The announce ment of such an accomplishment would have a decided effect on the conferees in Cleveland, McCardle said. Troops of the Indiana National Guard that have been in training in Camp Knox, Ky., not summoned for guard duty in the coal fields, have re turned to their home posts. Batteries A and C and the service battery of the 139th regiment have returned to In dianapolis. The regimental headquar ters battery of Mt.

(A saving oj 23%). The increasing use of motor-driven machin ery on the farm indicates that the practical farmer has come to realize that the use of such equipment is profitable. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in its endeavor to furnish a complete cycle of service is delivering its products to the farmer under the same conditions as for similar deliveries in the town. Such service is possible only because of the complete system of distribution which has been developed throughout the 11 Middle Western States served by this Company. Only a great enterprise, permanently organ ized, adequately financed, and inspired by a high sense of its social responsibilities could guarantee the farmer, and all those who consume farm products, that all essential needs for petroleum products will be cared for.

Complete Line of Sickroom Supplies ‘Bumming’ Auto Rides Is Sport for Modern Huckleberry Finns Young Indianapolis has discovered anew way to see the world, less dan gerous and far more comfortable than hopping freight cars. Automobile tramping is the newest vacation sport, according to one of the “tramps" who slid into a reserved seat beside the driver of a car speeding out YVash ingtoi St. He was possibly fourteen, red head ed and characterized by the frankness of his age and sex.
