"I want to go and speak to her
about it," Mrs. Phillips said, accord

went to the apartment of Mrs. Mead
ows that evening, but found no one
home. Wednesday morning they
went to the parking stand downtown
where Mrs. Phillips said the young
widow kept her car. They missed her
and went shopping during the day,

"The blood made me sick and I
went down the road," she testified.
"I looked back and saw Clara strike
her one blow while Alberta was on

The ma meeting of striking rail
way ihopment was held at Labor
temple behind cloed and, guarded
doors yesterday morning, for the
first time since the walkout 17 days
ago,
Speakers Mere G. F. Mounts of
Kansas City, general vice president
of the Carmen's union, and C. C. Car
son, boilermaker, of Sioux City. Car
son told the men he had made an in
spection trip throughout the east,
including ooints on the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Uhio, and that the
men were "out just as strong, if not
stronger, than m the west.
No Difficulty Anticipated.
If. E. Dickinson, general superin
tendent of Northwestern railroad
lines west, said yesterday he had
received no reports of clerks and
freight handlers Quitting work on the
Northwestern yesterday morning. A
Strike of stationary firemen and oilers
would not alter the situation, be
cause they have bfen drifting out
ever since the shopmen struck, he
said.
C. L. Gray, chief clerk to the gen
eral manager of Burlington lines
west, said the Burlington has a con
tract with clerks and freight handlers
until next February 1, and that no
difficulty with them is anticipated,
The reported order for firemen and
oilers to walk out yesterday morning
means nothing to the Burlington,
where large numbers of them al
ready have auit. according to Mr.
Gray, who added that this class of
men was easy to replace.
Women Await Decision.
Old men are not returning to work
in any large numbers, Mr. Gray ad
mitted.
The women's auxiliary, formed
Sunday to aid the striking shopmen,
was awaiting a teaerat court decision
on picketing before starting to serve
drinks and lunches to the pickets,
according to H. E. Gates, local strike
chairman.
Efforts Are Resumed
to End Railway Strike
(Continued From Face One.)
but railway executives declared that
the defections had been more than
made up by the numbers of shop
men who returned to work on the
last day allowed them on many
roads to protect their seniority
rights.
Disturbances Continue.
Meanwhile strike disturbances con
tinued to spread, the forces of fed
eral marshals protecting the move
ment of the mails and. interstate
traffic was increased and more fed
eral injunctions against picketing
were granted.
At Bloomington, 111., a number of
shots were fired, damaging the home
of a nonunion rail worker. In Iowa
passengers, train and wrecking
crews were driven away- from a
wrecked train by strike sympathizers
in an effort to prevent the clearing
of the tracks.
Officials Mark Time.
Washington, July 17. Occupied
almost exclusively with endeavors to
bring about a resumption of work in
ficislt of the government marked
time in the railroad strike situation.
Indications were that the sui'!n!oii
of activity with respect to the rail
road trouble was deliberate and for
the purpose of giving full attention
to the roal strike.
F.mphanii was placed by most of
ficials, however, on the statement
that events within the next few days
will nccosurily govern the govern
ment's policy, and hope was ex
pressed that it would not be neces
sary to take any drastic action.
Everything pointed to deliberation
and raretul consideration prior to
any decision, and for proof the gov
eminent' action with respect to the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
was pointed to,
Await Final Report.
Officials in the case of that rail
road, which presents unusual features,

Some reports of interference with

Attitude of Operators.
The attitude of the operators to

letter:

July 15, and we are not only in en

tablish a general tribunal to inquire
into all the facts in our industry and
make recommendations for the solu

we urge that such a plan be put
into effect by you.
"We also wish to remind you that
we have already proposed the broad
winciole of arbitration in our pre
vious conferences with the officers of
the administration and with the rep
resentatives of the miners. We stilt
stand on those broad principles and
are in entire accord with you in that
respect.
Answer by Districts.
"We did have in mind discussing

as to the machinery to- make anarbi

Karlicr in the day Governor
Sproul, Senator Pepper, I'enmyU

Mellon conferred with the president.
They assured the president that
they were prepared to back him to
the limit in any move he might make
to bring 'an end to the strike in
Pennsylvania. All of the powers of
the state, fiovernor Sproul atturred
the president, would he placed at the
disposal of the federal government.
It was noted in this connection
that the western Pennsylvania
operators were opposed to accep
tance of the president's proposal that
they are desirous of a showdown
with the miners.
The districts which wanted to ac
cept the president's proposal were
Illinois, Iowa and small parts of
Ohio, those in davor of rejection
were Indiana, central and western
Tennsvlvania and most of Ohio.
President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers declined to comment
on President Harding's statement to
the operators.

At S the men were heard to shout.
"Come on. boys, lets kill these
