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.

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,

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. ,

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. P. Kin

Two Close Races.
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.
