"Important Business
Jewell's Name Attached
To Call For MeetingJ
\Vashlngton, Sept. 7.—There
are no conferences now ID PROS
Teas between leaden tor the rail*
road strikers and railroad presi
dents and none have been held
since the formal gatherings in
New fork last month,, it was as
serted today by J. P. Noonan,
chief of the Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, which is one
of the 'seven rail unions on na
tional strike.1
The meeting of the striken'
policy committee called for nekt
week at Chicago is to consider
the general strike policy and also
to consider what shall be done in
view of the Injunction obtained
by the attorney general, Mr.
Noonan said.
Chicago, Sept. 7.— (By the Associ
ated Press.)—rWith the railway shop
I crafts pplicy 'committee of 90 sum
moned to meet in Chicago next Mtm
day, hope of an early or partial
settlement of the rail strike was re
newed today for the first time since
railroad executives and union chiefs
broke off peace negotiations in, New
York three weeks ago.
1
Separate Peace Possible.
These, hopes were founded prin
cipally on the call for the unions'
policy committed meeting and state
ments by strike leaders} on the pos
sibility of separate agreements with
52 of the class 1 roads representing
an approximate trackage of 85,000
miles. Railroad executives generally
either denied that peace /overtures
had been considered in conferences
with union leaders, or declined to
comment upon rumors of an impend
ing settlement. Some insisted that
the strike was broken and that peace
parleys had ended with the break-up
of the New York conferences.
The call for the policy'committee,
meeting issued at Chicago strike
headquarters by John Scott secretary
of the railway employes' department
of the American Federation of Labor,
went out to the general chairman of
the shop eeafts organization over thf
name of B: M. Jewell, head-of the de
partment, #hose whereabouts had'
remaine4*t«BbHcly unknown since the
government's strike injunction "'was
granted to Attorney General Daugh
erty by Federals Judge James H.
Wilkerson last Friday.
i:
Mr. Jewell was Variously reported
to have beep in several eastern tftie*'
recently, secretly conferring on plans
for a settlement. It became known
that he, as* well as other leaders of
the shopmen's unions, had'been in
Baltimore. Henry F. Broening, presi
dent of the Baltimore Federation of
Labor, said he had talked with Mr.
Jewell at Buffalo by telephone follow
ing the strike leader's departure
from Baltimore.
No Knowledge of Conference.
Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, of which Daniel Willard is
president, and which is Included .in
the group of roads from which strike
leaders hope to obtain separate Agree-:
ments, denied knowledge of any con
ference with Jewell or his associates.
Although talk of a general strike
of organized labor as a forcible pro
test against the strike injunction was
persistent at Atlantic City, members
of the executive, council expressed
?hftt
pposition to such a course, declaring
"public sentiment was sufficient
to win the battle."
T. DeWitt Cuyler, president of tWe
Railway Executives' association, with
other rail heads, said thd roads, were
.pleased with the way, striking em
ployes were coming back t6 work.
The Nebraska State Federation of
Labor, in callthg upon union men to
contribute to* the aid of the striking
railway shopmen, adopted resolutions
declaring for the amalgamation of
the various unions in each industry
"so that there shall remain but one
union for each industry."
Cincinnati, Sept. 7.—John J. Wall,
member of the national policy com
mittee of the Federated Shot*- Crafts,
today expressed the belief that the
meeting of the poUcy committee in
Chicago Monday would be for. the
purpose of discussing "means and
terms of a general settlement" but
refused to disclose his basis for such
a belief.

Dem. Vote Not Counted.
In many counties no attention has
been made to the count of Democratic
votes and it probably will require the
assembling of votes aft the secretary
of State's office before the complete
reckoning can be made.
The two congressional races, those
in the ninth and eleventh districts,
which were -more or less in doubt
have cleared somewhat. In the
Eleventh," Hubert S. Peavy, around,
hom the wet forces of the state'
awarded their strength, was more
than 5,000 ahead of Congressman
Nelson, classed by the anti-saloon
league as "next to. Volstead, the most
important dry congressman."
In the Ninth district. Geo. J.
Schneider, who was also supported by
the league opposed to prohibition,
Wisconsin division, assumed a lead of
more than 500 .early today over his
o'pponents, Judge Henry Graass, and
Elmer S. Hall.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 7

the Daugherty act vacated.
Prepare Plans.
The labor leaders expect to have a
plan in shape to be submitted to the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor when it con
venes Saturday.
A score of the labor chiefs were
already on the scene as today's pro

ten presidents 'for whom reservations
had been made, several non-members
of the American Federation of Labor
executive council arrived, in time to
participate.
It is reported/several heads of the
big five brotherhoods will be invited
before the American Federation of
Labor with which they have no of
ficial Affiliation, to review the story of
their Efforts, as mediator?, to bring
about peace between the shop crafts
and rail executives. The question of.
whether the formal sessions of the.
American Federation of Labor execu.

the air \tqday. The probability of
such a move was considered strong.

Dakota And Minnesota
Towns At Big Profit
Washington, Sept, 7.—Charges
that American coal is being ship
ped to Canada, and later sold
back into the United States at
"enormous profits," were made In
the house today by Representa
tive Steenenon, Republican, Min
nesota.
In a statement issued later Mr.
Steenerson submitted a letter re
ceived from P. H. Konsen of
Kittson county, Minnesota, assert
ing that coal ordered last spring
had not been delivered bat that
at Emerson, Just across the Cana
dian line, "they apparently have
an ample supply of Pennsylvania
anthracite, and are supplying not
only their own customers on that
side of the line, but are selling
or offering to sell to St. Vincent,
Pembina, Humboldt and other
nearby American towns." One Ca
nadian dealer, the letter declared,
was soliciting orders for coal at
$23 a ton.
"This coal comes to Emerson
from Lake Superior ports," 'Mr.
Konsen's letter said, "and the
thing that is mystifying about
the situation is that they are
able to get it and we are not."
Mr. Steenerson asserted that
that coal in question was from
Pennsylvania "through the port
of Dninth and from there shipped
by rail through Minnesota and
Into Canada." Today he wired the
governor's central coal commit
tee at St. Paul urging an investi
gation, and charging that the coal
was apparently shipped to Can
ada to "evade the law so as to
make possible profiteering on
coal."
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 7.—Agents of

the nomination of Lemke jfor gover

Whatever the cause may be how-,

ly those who are most strongly In fa-1
Vor of' the election of J. F. T. O'Con

more' than pleased over Lemke's nom

The action of the leaguers in nom
inating Lemke taken in conjunction
with the united front of the Inde-,
pendents which is assured by the ac
tion taken -by the Republican and
Democratic state central committees!
at their meetings Wednesday is re
garded as having materially improved
O'Connor's chances of election, and to
have practically insured the re-elec
tion of R. A. Nestos, and the other
Independent state officials. There are
large numbers of the rank and file
of the league it is pointed out who
will not stand for Lemke nor for the 1
exhibition of boss rule which brought]
about his nomination.
To Swing Votes.
On the other hand the action of the'
Republican state central committee im
declaring Lynn J. Frazier not entitled!
to Republican support will have &•'
powerful effect in swinging the votes
of real Republicans to O'Connor,
while the endorsment given the Nes
tos administration by the Democrats
will give the Republicans now holding
state offices ihe solid support of all
those who Hre opposed to the league.
The endorsemnt of Sveinbjorn
Johnson, W. L. Nuessle and L. E.

have the effect of solidifying Inde
