Speciol Dispatch to The Tribune
TOPEKA. Kan?.. July 20.?A state
??arrant charging violation of the anti
iyndieali-"-? act probably will be is?
sued against William Allen White, edi?
tor of "The Emporia Gazette" late to
r.ight or to-morrow, Governor Henry
J, Allen said to-day. The Kansas anti
syndicalism act makes it unlawful to
incite conspiracy against the Indus?
trial Court law.
When Governor Allen issued an or?
der yesterday forbidding merchants
displaying signs in windows reading
??We are for the strikers 100 per cent"
Mr. White characterized it in an edi?
torial article in his newspaper as an
infamous infraction of the rights of
free speech and free press. He placed
one in a window of his office and sub?
stituted the 100 with 50 per cent. He
said the number would be increased
with the days the men were on strike.
"We all know Bill," the Governor
1*8(1 said earlier in the day. "If he
insists on being funny wc will have to
do something about it."
"Mr. White fails to distinguish the
difference between legal and rightful
free speech and wrongful free speech,"
said Judge James A. McDermott, mem
tor of the Industrial Court. "Declara?
tions sad advocacy of anarchy and th<3
overthrow of the government do not
come within the term of free speech
c- used in the Constitution. The ad
vocsling or discussing of the merits
cf an industrial controversy does con
rtitute free speech so long as such
discussion dees not take the form of
?locating or in anyway approving
violation of the law."
People's Rights First
"It is more important that the peo
V'.e o? Kansas have food, fuel, clothing
tr.d tca??portation than it is for Mr.
V'hite to Vaive the right to hang a law
lass poster'ir the window of his print
eb.cp," said ?icharri J. Hopkins, Attor

tJMt nromote lawlessness."
fiiscussion of Mr. White's defiance of
????industrial court law and the sub?
irent action of the state went so
?ar8s to suggest calling out additional
troop? to-night.
Begs White to ' Be Good."
Governor Allen has sent a repre?
sentative to Emporia in an effort to
make Mr White "be good," as other
officials characterized it. Mr. White
?ad Governor Allen are bosom friendr
r.r..d foug-ht in the war in France to
pether. "'Air. White's book "The Martial
Adventures of Henry and Me" had a
wide sale after the war. He also has
Veen an ardent supporter of the Indus?
trial Court.
W. L. Huggins. presiding Judge of
the court, said he would stand behind
Mr. White in his actions. He said the
court had taken, no action in regard to
tiie placards in the windows, therefore
H could rot se? any violation. He said
the same ?vas true when an effort was
made to arrest all idle miners nt Pitts
burg under the vagrancy law last win?

Long as. They Refrain From
Violent Acts. He Asserts
William Allen White yesterday ex?
plained to The Tribune his defiance of
Governor Ailea and the order of the
hansas Industrial Court against ex
pressing sympathy with the: striking
rwrtad workers. He sent this dispatch
** response to a request for a statement:

A few hours made a lot of difference
in Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory yes?
terday. In the afternoon, on the Ho?
meric, besieged by reporters asking
pointed questions, the Amei-iism woman
lennis champion said some biting
ihing3 about the newspapers. But in
the evening there came from the of?
fice of the National Lawn Tennis As?
sociation a mimeographed official in?
terview with "Marvelous Molla," which
was mild, almost saccharine in tonfr.
And that, it appears, is Mrs. Mallory's
last word on the matters which have
troubled the lawn tennis world during
the last few weeks--the last word on
Mile. Lenglen, on Wimbledon and what
happened there, and also on the news?
papers.
Writes "Finis"' on IT'pl'.ode
Mrs. Mallory, with her husband,
Franklin I. Mallory, broker, was at her
home, 69 East Fifty-sixth Street, last
night. She would submit to no more
interviews and Mr. Mallory said that
the matter was ended with the official
statement sent out by the Lawn Tennis.
Association.
"There is nothing more to be said,"
was Mr. Mallory's message.
While it lasted the interview on
hoard the Homeric was a fiery affiair.
But for the presence of Dean Mathey,
whose role was that of diplomatist par
excellence, it might have been wor3e.
After Mrs. Mallory had burst impetu?
ously into some very plain language
regarding the newspapers and their
comment on tne vocal preliminaries of
the Lenglen-Mallory match it was
j Mathey who took her aside and sug?
gested that it might be the. part of
wisdom to retract her adjectives. Mrs.
Mallory made the retraction, but her
mental reservations were reflected in
her countenance. And in the state?
ment which is her last word on the
matter she says the newspapers of the
United States have treated her un?
fairly.
"The idea that there is some sort
of personal feud between Mile. Leng?
len and myself makes me angry just
for a moment," she said through the
mimeograph. "Then I think how sub?
it all is and I laugh. I like to play
tennis, and so does Mile. Langlen. We
meet in a tournament and she wins.
? I am perfectly willing to accept the
result, just as she would be, if it were
the other way around. I am human. I
would rather win than lose, of course,
as who wouldn't? But my whole life
isn't ruined just because I lose one
tennis match.
Women, Not Peevish Children
"It really is unreasonable to try to
make it appear that Mile. Lenglen and
I are quarreling like a couple of peev?
ish children. We are both full grown
women and we do not like to be made
'? nr>p?>nr nd'o-alous.
?'Al i le. L'v.",.5i3:i won at Wimbledon
fairly and decisively. I have no use
for alibis and offer none. We had no
?quarrel before, during or after the
match. I know nothing about her fu?
ture plans or whether we may meet
again. She is a wonderful player and
I consider it a privilege to play against
her. What makes me angry is the ef?
fort to make this out to he a grudge
match with a lot of personal animosity
in it. That sort of thing is unpleasant,
and I think it is unfair. 1 think I have
been playing tennis long enough in this
country for the public to know pretty
well whether I am in the habit of mak?
ing excuses for defeats or saying dis?
courteous and unsportsmanlike things
about my opponents."
2 Firemen, Trapped by
Draft, Seriously Burned
Five Others Caught in Flames
in. Apartment House Blaze
and Painfully Injured
Two firemen were severely burned
and five suffered painful injuries last
night when a back draft enveloped them
in flame while they were carrying hose
to the sixth floor of an apartment
house at 242-246 West 129th Street.
Frederick Denny, of 04G Bergen
Avenue, the Bronx, attached to Engine
37, and Fireman Victor Sattoning, f>38
East Eighty-first Street, of Hook and
Ladder 40, were the men badly injured.
They are in Harlem Hospital. The
others burned are Lieutenant Patrick
Costigan and Fireman Ambrose Morgan,
Henry Lindenfeld, John McFarlin and
Ralph Tullir,, all of Hook and Lad?
der 40.
The fire started in the apartment of
Mrs. Alice Donohue, wlho was away at
the time. She lives on the sixth floor
of the structure. Thirty families liv?
ing in the building were ordered out
by Patrolman Christopher Mills of West ;
123d Street station. Damage was :
slight and the occupants of the build- !
ing soon returned.
Studio Raid Reveals
Alleged Forged Paintings
Work of Eugene Carri?re Said
to Have Been Duplicated;
Bought Them, Says Artist
PARIS, July 20 (By The Associated
Press).?Acting on complaint of the
family of the late Eugene Carri?re,
painter, Police Commissary Darru to?
day searched the studio of an artist
in the Latin Quarter and found eight
pictures signed by Carri?re. They are
said to be copies of works already sold
and forgeries.
Darru also says he saw a number
of canvases signed with the names of
Corot, Manet, Henner, Puvis, De Cha
vannes and other artists.
The painter in whose studio the pic?
tures were found declared his collec?
tion was the result of many years of
patient search. Most of the paintings
had been picked up in the shops of
cheap junk dealers, he said.

TARIS, July 20.?The first break in
the financial clouds that have been
hanging over Europe came late to-day
when it became officially known that
France would agree to a short time cash
moratorium for Germany, although
maintaining a stand against extending
this to 1923 or longer. In addition to
this, the Reparation Commission heard
from the guaranties committee the de?
tails of the German acceptance of Al?
lied supervision over Germany's
finances.
Briefly, this means that the Allies
will soon be enabled to put in opera?
tion a system ol supervision nt Berlin
which will reaily result in framing
both government and Reichstag meas?
ures for conserving receipts, curb the
expenditures of the German Treasury,
control the floating debt, prevent Ger?
man nationals from hiding their capi?
tal abroad and stop further printing
of paper money.
Germany Formally Accepta
The acceptance by the German gov?
ernment of the Allied plan of control
was officially announced this after?
noon in a special communique issued
by the Reparation Commission after
its session with President Mauclere of
the guaranties committee, adding that
a formal reply in. writing would soon
be received from Berlin.
Mauclere had a long talk witji Pre?
mier Poincare at the Quai d'Orsay, and
there is no doubt that their conversa?
tion envisaged the acceptance by France
of the short time moratorium for cash
payments by Germany as well as
French co-operation with other Allied
powers in keeping Germany afloat
until such time as her financial regen?
eration is accomplished to such an ex?
tent as to enable her to meet the repa- i
ration schedule.
In the mean time France, by virtue i
of the Wiesbaden ?agreement, which
also by the consent of Berlin becomes
effective to-day, is content to look for?
ward to payment in the form of Ger?
man goods for the devastated regions,
with a possible extension to the simi?
lar Letrocquer plan for German pay?
ments in kind outside the devastated
regions.
The French government declines to
comment on the possibility of a can?
cellation of France's debt to England,
but is awaiting a concrete proposition.
The public, however, is known to be fa?
vorable to further concession to Ger?
many as a compensation for relief from
the British debt. Such a cancellation
would, it is expected, bring back to
Paris the bankers' committee headed
by J. P. Morgan to make another at?
tempt to arrange for an external loan
for Germany.
Allied Solidarity Foreseen
Greater teamwork among the Allies
was forecast by the breaking up of
The Hague conference where they
stood shoulder to shoulder against
the Russians. This Allied solidarity
at Th? Hague is regarded by
many students of Europe's ills as a
happy augury. By the forthcoming
supervision of German affairs Britain
finds her viewpoint nearer to that of
France's than at any time since the
bottom began to drop out of the mark.
The Tribune correspondent is able
to-night to quote the consensus of of?
ficia! opinion as follows: The govern?
ment ii= convinced after careful re?
search that Germany is able to pay
reparations. There are two sides to
the German question, one financial and
one economic. There is no doubt that
Germany voluntarily attempted to
ruin herself to escape the payment of
her debts.
Germany is living in an era of un?
precedented economic prosperity, and
with good will she can pay. Since there
has been no good will and nothing but
bad faith in all her dealings with the
Allies it is the latter's duty to see
that Germany's finances are put in
such shape that nhe is able to pay.
A simple moratorium is useless, as the
mark has already reacted downward to
the one granted. While France knows
that Germany can pay, she is faced
with the concrete situation of the low
mark that she is physically unable to
stop. Therefore France agrees to the
short-term moratorium combined with
the most severe financial supervision
in order to prevent the continued infla?
tion of the paper currency ana the
reckless expenditures which have hith?
erto marked the German budget.
As before stated the short-time mora?
torium with the cancellation of the
British war debt is certain to react in
France toward a greater moratorium,
should this be deemed necessary.
Says Titles Dazzle U. S.
Sir Charles Higham Reports Us
Still a 'Bit Provincial
From The Tribune's European Bureau
Copyright. 1922, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, July 20.?Americans are
still dazzled by titles, according to Sir
Charles Higham, v/ho has just returned
from an advertising mission to the
United States and has been summing
up his impressions of the ?American
people.
"They look on London as the great
social center of the world," said Sir
Charles. "The fact that we have such
a large number of titled people ap?
peals to them. They are happy to
shake hands with a baronet, delighted
to greet a lord and enratit .red to meet
a duke. I was as often called 'Sit
Higham' as Sir Charles. But their
heartiness and desire to settle down to
work make one overlook errors of this
sort."

Defeat for Calder
And Wadsworth
Hale, Keyes, Warren, New
and Moses, Conserva?
tives, Join Senate Revolt
From The Tribune's Washinoton Bureau
WASHINGTON. July 20.?Even Sen?
ator Henry Cabot Lodere, leader of the
Senate Republicans and stanch as
Plymouth Rock in his allegiance to
protection, rebelled against the Finance
Committee to-day on the tariff. With
nineteen other Republicans, he balked
when it came to fixing the duties on
cotton gloves as high as the com?
mittee wanted them and joined with
the Democrats in adopting an amend?
ment by Senator Lenroot which limits
the maximum duty under the cotton
glove paragraph to 75 per cent. The
vote for the Lenroot amendment was
3S to 17.
Republican Senators who supported
the Lenroot proposition were Borah,
Capper, Cummins, Hale, Harreld, Kel
logg, Keyes, Jones, of Washington, !
Ladd, Lenroot, Lodge, McCormick, j
Moses, Nelson, New, Newberry, Phipps,
Rawson, Warren and Willis.
This is the most pronounced in- !
surgent movement yet made against!
the Finance Committee rates. Not j
only was^ it striking because of the
vote of Senator Lodge, but because a
number of other conservative Republi?
cans lined up with him. such as Sen?
ators Hale, Keyes, Moses, Warren and
New.
Defeat for New York Senators
The outcome was a defeat for Sen?
ators Wadsworth and Calder, who were
especially active in urging the Finance
Committee rates and opposing the Len?
root amendment. It was brought out '
in the discussion that former Repre?
sentative Lucius N. Littauer, of Glov
ersville, N. Y., was foremost in seek- !
ing high protection for gloves from
the Finance Committee.
Before the vote was fnken Senator
Lodge spoke briefly, si*opig he disliked
to differ from the F-'.'atice Committee,
but ho was convinced 75 per cent ought
to be enough to enable the glove in?
dustry to get along. He said he was
reluctant to support a duty as high
as 119 per cent, which, it had been dis?
closed, would be provided on some
varieties of gloves.
The duty on gloves in the cotton
schedule occupied the consideration of
the Senate much of the afternoon. Sen?
ator Smoot for the Finance Committee
proposed a series of rates on cotton
gloves, ranging from 25 to 50 per cent
ad valorem. On some styles specified
rates were provided, however, which,
it was disclosed, ran much above 50
per cent and Senator Lenroot showed
part of the rates reached 119 per cent,
others 104 per cent and still others
92 Vi per cent.
Senator Lenroot as soon as the para?
graph was taken up offered his amend?
ment providing that in no case should
the duty exceed 75 per cent.
Payne-Aldrich Rate Lower
In the protracted discussion that fol?
lowed Senator Lenroot said some in?
creases were justified over the present
rate of 35 per cent, and the only ques?
tion was how high a rate should be
permitted in order to protect American
production. He held that a protection
above 75 per cent was not justified.
He recalled that the Payno-Aldrich
rate was 50 per cent.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
protested against permitting as high a
duty as 75 per cent.
"This is the simplest form of weav?
ing known," he said, referring to the
varieties of gloves covered in the para?
graph.
He called attention to the fact that
on much hitrher forms of cotton manu?
facture the Senate had provided a rate
of 45 per cent and he held it was in?
defensible to provide in the ease of
cheap and cotton gloves a duty of 75
per cent.
He charged that America could com?
pete in the manufacture of cotton
gloves, but thr.t certain American man?
ufacturers had imported enough gloves
to last a year or so and now have set
out "to mulct the American people."
Senators Calder and Wadsworth de?
fended the cotton glove paragraph and
opposed the 75 per cent limit proposed
by Senator Lenroot.
Senator Wadsworth said the leading
manufacturers of these gloves were in
his state, but that the industry was in
the worst shape of any industry in the
country with which he was conversant.
Both Senators Lenroot and Simmons
referred to Mr. Littauer as appearing
before the Finance Committee seeking
the glove duties. Senator Simmons
quoted Mr. Littauer as saying "we have
been able to make the best silk glove
in the world. Germany cannot compete
with us."
Senator Simmons said the Saxony
manufacturers had a secret process of
finishing^which the American manu
facturers^could not meet and that no
amount of duty would overcome this.
Grecian Statue 2,000 Years Old
Dug Up on Untermyer Estate
Buried three feet below a water main
which had not been disturbed since it
was laid thirty-eight years ago, work?
men have found a statue declared to
be "pure Greek and 2,000 years old,"
at Greyatone, Samuel Untermyer's
country place.
Isadore Konti, sculptor, after a care?
ful examination yesterday, declared
that in his opinion the work not only
was real Greek, but it yrng too good to
have been done by any L.t a master.
The statue is of a woman and stands
about 4 feet 6 inches without the head,
whiph had been broken off.
The head was found first. Later the
left hand was found, and still later the
rest of the body, eil intact. It was
washed off and taken to the honfe of
i Albert Millard, Superintendent of
j Greystone,
Last Tuesday afternoon Millard ro
ported to the City Water Department
that there was trouble with his water
supply. Men were sent out and began
digging in front of Millard's cottage.
It became necessary to dig under the
big pipe itself and it was then that the
diggers struck the head. A short timo
later the hand was found, and Tuesday
evening they dug up the body.
The cottage originally was a farm?
house, separated from the main estate.
It has not yet been determined who
owned it, but forty years ago it was
sold to John H. Waring, a manufac?
turer in Yonkers. Mr. Waring later
sold the entire estate, including the
farm, to former Governor Samuel J.
Tilden and the latter's estate sold it
to Mr. Untermyer.
No theory for the presence of the
statue has been advanced, either by
the police or by art. experts who have
seen it.
Two States Call Troops

%Rail Parley Is Failnre
Cummins Meets Heads of
Great Trunk Lines and
Leaders of Shopmen in
Settlement Negotiations
Executive Ready to
Order a Conference
Forty Roads, in douncil
Here, Declare Fight to
Finish Against Strikers
WASHINGTON, July 21 (By The
Associated Press).?An effort to settle
the railroad strike at a suddenly
arranged conference of heads of lead?
ing railroads and members, of the Sen?
ate Interstate Commerce Committee
here to-night was understood to have
failed.
Those attending the conference said
it now appeared that a settlement was
much more distant and expressed pes?
simism over the immediate outlook,
viewing the coal and railroad strikes
together.
Enactment of legislation which might
remove difficulties in the way of set?
tling the strike was discussed at the
conference.
Senators Watson, of Indiana, and
Kellogg, of Minnesota, both Republican
members of the Senate Interstate Com?
merce Committee, also attended the
conference which began shortly after 9
o'clock and continued until after mid?
night.
The only intimation of the nature of
the conference was given in a formal
statement issued by Senator Cummins
after the meeting had broken up.
Cummins Explains Purpose
Senator Cummins in his statement
said:
"Senators Kellogg, Watson" and my?
self had a conference with some of the
Eastern railroad presidents for the pur?
pose of talking over the strike and as?
certaining, if possible, the exact issues
between the roads and the strikers. We
wanted to discover whether there was
any legislation that would remove the
difficulty in the way of an adjustment.
"We discussed the whole situation
freely and frankly. The views of the
shopmen have already been fully dis?
closed at Chicago. The object of the
conference w?t solely to ?ecure infor?
mation upon this very vital subject."
Senator Cummins said he wolud be
compelled to decline answering in?
clines as to the details of the con?
ference, but did not say, in expressing
an opinion as to the outlook for an
adjustment of the strike, that he was
"hopeful to the last." He declared no
conclusion had been i-eached as to what
legislation was needed.
Asked as to whether the executives
came to Washington by invitation or at
their own instance, he said that, he
could not discuss that subject. H?
aded, however, that he did not ask the
railroad chiefs to come here for the
conference.
Railway officials leaving here last
night for Washington were L. F. Loree,
president of the Delaware & Hudson;
E. N. Brown, chairman of the P?re Mar?
quette; E. J. Pearson, president of the
New Haven, and A. N. Smith, president
of the New York Central.
Representatives of the railroads
here maintained the greatest secrecy
in regard to the summons of Senator
Cummins. They declared positively,
however, that no matter what its pur?
pose, the conference would not lead
i o a change in the carriers' position
on the seniority issue.
Senator Cummins has conferred with
President Harding on various phases
of the situation and the conference to?
night was said to have been called at
the President's request.
New Conference Forecast
In Cabinet circles it was said that
the President probably would call rail?
road officials and labor officials in con?
ference if a settlement was not soon
reached.
Among other railroad officials under?
stood to be in conference with Sena?
tor Cummins are W. W. Attcrbury, of
the Pennsylvania; W. H. Truesdale, of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western;
Frank A. Alfred, of the P?re Marquette,
and Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel
of the Association of Railway Execu?
tives.
Executives of forty Eastern rail?
ways agreed yesterday to fight the
striking shopmen to a finish, it was
announced at the close of their month?
ly meeting at the Bankers' Club.
The carriers, according to John G.
Walber, their official spokesman, are
determined not only to hold out
against restoring the seniority and
pension rights of the strikers but also
to oppose the establishment of an ad?
justment board and the dismissal of
lawsuits instituted against the unions.
The roads will refuse to negotiate on
the overtime rules and. working condi

Murphy Bosses the Joh
Tammany Leader May Give
Publisher Voice in Fram?
ing the State Platform
The Hearst boom for Governor was
rolled flatter than a pancake by the
Democratic state machine yesterday.
William J. Conners, the chief Hearst,
boomer, and his associates had to
watch the flattening out process in
silence. They had no voice in the pro?
ceedings, their failure to obtain prox?
ies forcing them to attend as mere
spectators.
E.ypn mare humiliating to the Hearst
force advii, the fact that the home
county i,. Mr. Conners?Erie?sent a
complete delegation to the state com?
mittee meeting, eight of whom shouted
for "Al" Smith! The ninth, William f?.
Fitzpatrick, kept silent.
The Hearst faction had pleaded with
the leaders that the state committee re?
pudiate the action of the Syracuse con?
vention of up-state leaders two weeks
ago which condemned the editor-poli- j
tieian and indorsed Mr. Smith for Gov- i
ernor.
Hearst Means Ruin, f?uppucit's View
This the leaders declared would be
impossible without inviting an open re- :
volt. The attitude of the up-state men i
was pithily expressed by former State j
Chairman W. A. Huppich when he j
said:
"If Hearst is nominated we. may as
well go out of business. Up-state is
solidly for Smith."
When the State Committee ad?
journed without a rebuke to the up?
state leaders for their anti-Hearst sen?
timents, the Hearst boomers privately
admitted that they must take a new
tack and make a drive for control of
the Democratic members of the next
Legislature, thus paving the way for
mastery of the New York state dele?
gation to the 1924 convention, when
Mr. Hearst will make a bid for the
Democratic nomination for President.
All the committee did was to carry j
out the routine mapped out for it by !
the party leaders, who included former
State Chairmen William Church Os
born, of Putnam County; Mr. Hup
puch, of Washington, and W. W. Far- ?
ley, of Broome; William H. Kelley, the j
Onondaga County leader; William H.
Fitzpatrick, the Erie County boss;
Michael J. Walsh, the head of the
Westchester County organization;
Charles F. Murphy, the chief of Tam?
many Hall, and John H. McCooey, Mr.
Murphy's ally in Brooklyn.
Machine ?imooth and Swift
These men, who control the ?state
machine, decided at informal confer?
ences which preceded the meeting, that
the State Committee would adopt only
such resolutions as were needed to le?
galize the holding of the Democratic
State Convention at Syracuse on Sep?
tember 28, 29 and 30, to provide for a
temporary organization for the conven?
tion and to set the master minds of the
party at work on a declaration of prin?
ciples on which to appeal for votes in
November.
A more perfectly working machine
could not have been devised. State
Chairman Herbert Pell was at the
helm, but Mr. Murphy, Mr. Osborn,

Special Dispatch to Th? Tribune
NORTON, Va? July 20.?C. Bascom
Slemp, the unbeatable and only Re?
publican Congressman from Virginia,
was nominated for Congress by a con?
vention of his party to-day over his
protest.
Mr. Slemp announced several days
ago that he would not again be a can?
didate for Congress on account of fail?
ing health. A telegram from him was
read at the convention to-day. The
delegates swept aside all attempts to
nominate another man and every per?
son in the convention shouted 'Slemp"
when Chairman C. S. Pendleton called
for the vote.
A boom for Pendleton started when
Congressman Slemp's telegram was
read, but It died t. quick death when
Pendleton said bu wanted Slemp and
no one else.
A feature of to-day's convention was
the large number of women in attend?
ance. There were several there with
small children. It was said Mr. Slemp
had endeared himself to the poor peo?
ple in the district by his charities, and
widows and mothers he had helped
were solid for him.

End Strife in Coal Field
National Guard troops were calla*,
out in two states yesterday to pro?
tect ccal miners who are willing
to respond to President Harding*?
call for fuel production.
?Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania
ordered out 1,100 men to guard
the bituminous mines in south?
western Pennsylvania, and issued
a proclamation calling on th?
people of the state to co-operate
with the President in the produc?
tion of coal "to avert a national
peril."
Governor Davis mobilized more of
the Ohio National Guard and put
all troops in readiness to move
quickly to regions where unrest
threaten?.
Acting Governor Sterling of Illinois
promised troops to guard the
mines but expressed doubt whether
men could be obtained to operate
the pits.
Governor Groesbeck of Michigan
asked President Harding for per?
mission to take over and operate
mines.
President Harding announced that
a coal commission would be formed
later to adjust relations between
miners and operators.
There has been no move by co*l
operators thus far to fall in line
with the President's instructions
to resume operations. Pennsyl?
vania operators will make an ef- i
fort in this direction, as will some \
Ohio companies, but others in
Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and other
states express the view that the
mines cannot reopen.
Governor Sends Militia
To Penna. Coal Fields
Sproul Calls on People to Co*
operate With the President
and "Avert a National Peril"
HARRISBURG. Pa? July 20?Troops
were ordered out by Governor William
C. Sproul to-night for duty in tho
southwestern Pennsylvania bituminous
coal fields. A regiment of cavalry, a
machine gun squadron and a motor
truck company of the National Guard
were ordered to proceed to-morrow to
points in the bituminous region.
At the same time the Governor is?
sued a proclamation calling on the peo?
ple of Pennsylvania to co-operate with
the President of the United States in
the effort to produce coal and "avert
a national peril" and to preserve law
and order
The troops are units which had been
ordered to the Mount Grotna encamp?
ment. They include the 104th Cavalry,
with headquarters at Harrisburg; the
Fifty-second Machine Gun Squadro?.,
headquarters at Bellefonte, and Motor
Transport Company No. 110, stationed
at York. Colonel E. J. Stackpole jr.,
commanding the cavalry will be in
command. State police and local au?
thorities will co-operate with the
guardsmen.
About 1,100 men will be in the field.
Within twenty-four hours approxi?
mately 4,000 more will be at the Mount
Gretna encampment in reserve, with
5,000 additional prepared for camp
duty. An artillery regiment is also in
camp near Tobyhann.-t and others are
prepared to go to camp.
The Governor's action followed con?
ferences with state officials, National
Guard officers and coal operator?, the
latter assuring him of their desire to
resume the mining of coal.
Move to Forestall Trouble
Orders for the troops to take the
field were inspired by a desire to fore?
stall any trouble which might attend
the resumption of mining.
The Governor in his proclamation
said "the time to stop disorder is be?
fore it startf," and for the first time in
recent state history troops have been
out for field duty without an outbreak
of disorder having occurred. The co?
operation of local authorities is be?
spoken, sreriffs and other officers hav?
ing been sent copies of the proclama?
tion.
Stations will be located by the troops
in parts of Washington, Indiana, Cam?
bria, Somerset and Westmoreland coun
i ties, where they can easily reach any
i scenes of possible trouble by motor
or horse.
Governor Sproul in a statement to?
night said frankly that he was appre?
hensive of some outbreak such as had
occurred in other states. He made it
plain he considered the situation
"threatening," and in his proclamation
said the whole National Guard would
be used to uphold the law. His proc?
lamation declared marches and assem?
bling of large crowds were forbidden
and that the peace of the common
I wealth and the rights of its citizen?
I would be preserved, r.c matter what
the cost.

been issued Adjutant G?nerai B.ary
