No Reply from Illinois Omaha hx ImiH Wlr Washington, July 19. Governor of the coal producing state i, almost to man, are ready to back President Harding to the limit in his determina tion to get coal produced at any haz ard in sufficient quantities to meet the nation's needs. , They indicated their overwhelm ing endorsement of the president's strike policy in telegrams responding to Mr. Harding's plea for state co operation with the federal govern ment in supplying ample protection for the reopening and operation of the mines. , Governor Morrison of North Caro lina was the only state executive to disagree with the president's policy. "I am truly sorry," Governor Mor rison wired, "that a judgment long formed and repeatedly expressed will not permit me to agree with your po sition.'' Should Uphold Law. ''I believe the full duty of the gov ernment and the part of wisdom is to uphold the law with fearless im partiality and promptness. Your posi tion is practically to use the power of the government against the strik ers and in the enforcement of police regulations and the upholding of the law, the strikers will naturally have little confidence in the impartiality of fairness of soldiers or other agencies of force directed by a government which has taken a decided stand against them, however good the reason for such a stand may be." The conspicuous exception to the response to tne presidents wa.4 in the case of Illinois. While virtually all of the other coal produc ing states had been heard from, no response had been received at the White House from the governor or the acting governor of Illinois up to a late hour. Because of the Hernn killings, there was more interest in the attitude of the Illinois' authorities than in the attitude of any other state. Kendall Pledges Support. Governor Kendall of Iowa wired: "As chief executive of the state of Iowa, I pledge every resource of the state to the support of the program you have inaugurated for the relief of the fuel situation." , . This telegram was typical. Gov ernor McCray of Indiana tele graphed: ',, "Telegram just received. Indiana mine operators have been invited to resume ininin'g opcrtions. Ample protection will be given to protect life and property." ' . Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, Governor Davis of Ohio. Governor Morrow of Kentucky and Governor Morgan of West Virginia all pledged their support to the president. Gov error Allen of Kansas said that the industrial court had ordered the mines reopened and that about 50 per cent of the state's needs was now being produced.'1 , - . Unions Threaten Reprisals. While the federal and atate govern ments were preparing for a show down on the question of ptoducing , coal, union officials got ready for drastic reprisals in case any attempt was made to reopen the mines with nonunion workers. They frankly declared that if the mines were re opened with nonunion men, orders would be issued for a strike of maintenance workers. This soon would mean the flooding of the mines and a long period of idleness. Because of this prospect,' it is under stood that the Pennsylvania anthra cite operators will not open their mines until they reach a settlement. No legislation can be of assistance in settling the pending coal and rail road strikes, Senator Borah, Idaho, chairman of the senate committee on education and labor said, following a conference with Saumel Gompers, president of the American Federa tion of Labor. , Gompers HopefnL Those who participated in the con ference besides Mr. Gompers ' and Senator Borah were Senators Walsh, Massachusetts, and King, Utah, and Frank Morrison, American Federa tion of Labor, and Edgart Wallace, a legislative representative of the fed eration. - t ," The general labor situation was discussed at length, including the po sition of the strikers in both the coal trike and the railroad strike. Senator Borah said that Mr. Gom pers had expressed hope that matters would be adjusted in a reasonable time. Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, re publican leader in the senate, issued a statement calling upon "all patriot ic Americans to Sustain the presi dent" , President Lewis of the .United Mine Workers is remaining in Wash ington, continuing negotiations with some of the leaders. He stated that no agreements could be entered into with individual operators, but that efforts were being made to bripg a sufficient number of the operators into the negotiations to represent a Urse manage in the coal industry.

' Omaha Bee "Want" Ads Bring Belter Results at Lesser Cost Settle Rail Strike Fail Labor Board Drops Attempt to Bring About Agreement Between Shopmen's Union and Executives. Seniority Is Only Issue Chicago, July 19. (By A. P.) The failure of all efforts to bring about the settlement of the country wide strike of the railway shopmen was announced in a statement by Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the United States railroad labor hoard. "As there does not seem to be any probability of reconciling the -an tipodal views of the carriers and the men on the question at issue, the labor board is. 'not engaged in any further efforts along that line," the statement said. At the same time the statement pointed out that virtual agreement had been reached between the trail heads and the strike leaders on all of the five points in dispute except that of the return to the strikers of their seniority rights an incidental question which was not oricinaliv in dispute betwen the roads and their men. ? Railroad executives, through the western presidents committee on pub lic relations of the Association of Railway Executives, issued a state ment corroborating Chairman Hooper's statement that no further peace conferences were being held and that the seniority issue was the prin cipal stumbling block. Conferences at End. "There are now no conferences in progress looking to a settlement of the shopcrafts' strike," the excu tive's statement said. "Chairman Hooper of the labor board has held informal conferences with some rail way executives, but these have had no results and are now at an end. Since the strike was called the so- called question of 'seniority rights' has. arisen and has, now become one of importance." Chairman Hooper's statement said that a conference was held last Saturday between B. M. Jewell, head of the shopmen,; A. O. Wharton, la bor member of the board, and Mr. Hooper and heads of the seven strik ing organizations, when Mr. Jewell indicated he would be willing to submit to his committee an agreed program if the carriers concurred in it.. The program, Mr1. Hooper's state ment said, was as follows: "First, that the carriers which had already changed the wages and work ing conditions of the employes repre sented by said seven organizations, by means ot the contract system, in vio lation of the railroad labor board's decisions, should withdraw from this practice. This applied to only a few roads, as the others had heretofore announced their willingness to can cel such contracts. The principal of those that have not yet made such announcement are the Erie and West ern Maryland. Want Adjustment Board. "Second, that the authority granted by the transportation act to the car riers and their employes to set up an adjustment board tor boards be exercised by the establishment of a national adjustment board, with the entire jurisdiction authorized by said act, namely, the hearing of all dis putes except those affecting wages. "Third, that the employes involved in the strike proceed in conformity with the transportation act in the set tlement of the disputed rules and wages, seeking from the railroad labor board a rehearing of the recent wage decision and promptly submit ting the seven disputed rules to the adjustment board, with the statutory right of appeal to the labor board. "Fourth, the carriers to withdraw or dismiss all lawsuits growing out of the strike. "Fifth, all men now on strike, those laid off, furloughed or on leave of absence, to be returned to work and thtir former positions, with seniority and other rights unimpaired. "As a method for securing a con fermrr fullv reoresentine the car riers and the employes concerned, it was contemplated that the raiiroaa labor board should call a hearing for that purpose. Ready to Reopen Question. The carriers raised no objections to reopening the wage decision and the dispute regarding seven protest ed rules, he said, and added that "the foregoing disposition of contracts, wages and rules would remove from conflict all three of the questions upon which strike votes were taken. Regarding adjustment boards, Mr. Hooper said many roads are willing to have regional boards, some are willing to have a national adjustment board and some favored boards on each individual road. "An agre ment of" some sort could doubtless be reached upon this matter," he said. "At present," the chairman's state ment continued, "there is no possi bility of an agreement on the ques tion of the reinstatement of- the striking employes with all rights re stored." - ; The roads, he said, have promised to employ men who have been on strike if they have not been guilty of breaches of peace and the de- j struction of property, but refused to igive them seniority over those who have remained, a, work, 1 vi ioai mines To Be Reopened Des Moines, la., July 19. Iowa coal mines will be reopened in line with President Harding's proposals, Governor Kendall declared today. A proclamation to the operators of the stater as suggested by the president wan issued by the governor today and will assure the owners ample protection from the Iowa National Guard troops. Governor Kendall said that it had net been fully determined just how or when the mines will be reopened. It is considered probable that a rail for state troops will be issued just as soon as the operators and state officials have agreed upon plans. Incumbents Win in Congressional ' Contests of State Winners in Primary Election Anderson of Lincoln Has Big Lead in First District Mrs. Irene Buell Is Nominated. Congressional contests of the pri mary resulted in the renomination of the three republican incumbents who were candidates for re-election. These were Congressman R. E. Evans in the Third district, Congressman M. O. McLaughlin in the Fourth district and Congressman VV. t. Andrews in the Fifth district. Congressman Evans, with half the vote rcoorted. was leading his near est opponent, M. Havens of Norfolk, by approximately 3 to I. Congress man McLaughlin was sweeping his district over two opponents, by a vote that ran more than 2 to 1 over their combined figures. Congressman Andrews has no ODDOSltion. Results on the republican ticket in the other three districts were definitely settled by returns tabu iated during the night. Walter An derson of Lincoln, speaker of the lower house of the state legislature, was nominated in the First district over a field of five, having a lead of more than 1,000 over his nearest competitor with one-third pi the total vote reoorted. The figures were 2,528 for Anderson and 1,491 for Wilbur Anness of Dunbar. - In the Second district Tudee Willis J. Sears defeated Nathan Bernstein overwhelmingly. In the Sixth district 61 out ot Si precinct ga.ve Amsberry, 484; Sim mons, Z,55Z: Hostetler, l,J4; f lynn, 497, and Shuman, 801. While the fig ures were not quite conclusive, the distribution of the reported vote in dicated the probable nomination of Simmons, a Scottsbluff lawyer, who is a former president of the Ameri can Legion and of the University of Nebraska Alumni association. Former Governor John H. More head won the democratic nomina tion for congress in the First district by an overwhelming lead. Similarly. James H. Hanley was victorious i the second district (including Omaha) and former Governor Shall enbergcr in the Fifth district. Edgar Howayl, ' Columbus newspaper edi tor, apparently was nominated in the Third district over P. F. O'Gara of Harting. Howard was one of the founders of the "third party,'" but filed as a democratic candidate after the fusion program was initiated two months ago. Mr?. Irene C. Buell of Ashland, the only woman aspirant for con gressional office in Nebraska, was third in the 'Fourth district demo cratic race. H. B. Cuming of Seward led,; with Clifford Fall of Beatrice second. The Sixth district democratic nom ination was in doubt on fragmentary returns. , New Mexico Convicts Revolt; One Killed, Five Wounded Santa Fe, N. M., July 19. Martin Baldonado, a convict in the state penitentiary here, was killed and five other prisoners were slightly wounded when eight guards sta tioned in , towers along the walls opened fire on a mob of convicts after they had refused to enter the cell house.

Norton Also Is Winner ' Nebraska republicans, in Tues day's state-wide primary, named R. H. Howell of Omaha as the party candidate for United States senator. He won by a vote approximately 50 per cent more than that received by either of his principal opponents, At torney General Clarence A. Davis and Congressman A. W. Jefferis. ; Democrats nominated Senator Gil bert M. Hitchcock as their candidate to succeed himself and Charles W. Bryan of Lincoln as their candidate for governor. Governor Still in Doubt The republican gubernatorial nom ination was still in doubt, with ap proximately 85 per cent of the vote tabulated. State Senator Charles H. Randall of Randolph was slightly in the lead over Ada,m McCullen of Beatrice. , , All Nebraska republican congress men who sought renomination were winners. In the vacant districts, Walter Anderson, speaker of the lower legislature house, was nominat ed on the republican ticket in the First district; District Judge Sears was named in the Second district, and Robert Simmons, ex-service man, was an easy winner in the "Big" Sixth district, represented so many years by Congressman M.

The contests for both republican and democratic nominations for gov-, ernor proved the most exciting races that Nebraska elections - have f urn ishe in many years. On the democratic side, City Com missioner Butler of Qmaha went out of his home county with a plurality of nearly 6,700 over City Commis- sioner Bryan of Lincoln. Bryan kept cutting down this lead and finally passed Butler late in the afternoon. He appears slated to win the nomina tion by from 3,000 to 5,000 votes. The republican race is less certain. Senator Randall surprised his op ponents by carrying Douglas coun ty over Adam McMullen by a plur ality of about 700 votes. He also showed surprising speed "out-state and at one time led McMullen by 3,200. Later returns-cut this to ap proximately 300 lead and there the two hung' while successive tabula tions simply added to both totals without changing the relative situa tion. Total Votes 140,000. The total vote cast in the repub lican primary apparently was about 140,000, with pproximately 75,000 in the democratic primry. Fragmentary returns indicate the ' iTnrn to Psce Two, Column Tom.)
