terference with the operation of its
shops located in different parts of
the United States.
In jts application the Pullman com
pany declared that there were no
wage nor other disputes between it
self and its employes, but that many
of the latter, including women, were
leaving their posts in a sympathy
walkout,
The order issued by the court was
directed generally to all persons
throughout the 'country and to offi
cers and members of the striking
shopcrafts in particular, enjoining
them from interfering with the Pull
man company's operation.
Acts of violence at the jtompany's
Richmond, Cat., shops were cited in
the application, which also mentioned
shops in the following cities as be-
lpg attected by the sympathetic walk-
out: San Francisco, Oakland, Los
Angeles, Portland, Ore.; Seattle,
Wash.; Minneapolis, St. Paul. St.

Walkout Averted.
Chicago. Tulv 22. The threat
ened strike of 7,300 clerks on the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad
lias been postponed, for the time be-
incr at least, according to reports
reaching the United States railroad
labor board this afternoon. ,
The company is reported to have
made some concessions.
The railroad strike entered its fourth
week today with the announcement
from the clerks' union headquarters
that 18,000 additional office employes
ii various sections " had voted to
strike.
Apparently, all peace negotiations
were at a standstill, with both sides
determined to hold firm to their
original positions, and the country at
large waiting in nervous expectancy
and abject hopefulness that some
thing might happen soon to settle the
difficulty.
Lhief interest today centered in
Washington, where Chairman Hopp
er of the railroad labor board was
called for a conference with Presi
dent Harding.
Reports from half a dozen cities
that approximately 18,000 clerks and
other railway employes had voted to
walk out and new indications that
Canada was facing a shopmen's
strike added to the weight of Presi
dent Grable's statement that any
railroad that refused to meet with
committees of maintenance of way
men to adjust wage ditterences
would face a strike of these workers.
Urges Direct Negotiations.
A new note in the demand of the
trikers was made evident by the
tatement of Samuel Gomoers. oreii-
dent of the American Federation ot
Labor, inviting the government to
urge striking coal miners and shop
men' and their respective employers
to begin direct negotiations, coupled
with the aeiion of representatives ol
the "Big Four" railroad brother
hoods in urging congress to facili
tate a return to the direct parley
system ot settling disputes. . , .
Meanwhile- eight railroads issued
cancellation orders for branch line
trains, swelling the number of an
nullments to well over 300. State
troops continued on railroad guards
in eight states. .
Strike Averted.
Detroit, Mich., July 22. Strike of
9,000 maintenance of way men on the
Michigan Central lines has been
averted by the signing today of a
wage agreement restoring the scale
effective before July 1, it was an
nounced. The agreement was signed
by officials of the railroad and of
the union.
The eight-hour day is re-established,
but the rate of pay for overtime
labor has hot been fixed, this matter
having been left for further arbitra
tion. fpiAMOS

course regarding the coal strike, the
government in the meantime today
was pushing: its plans for distribution
of the dwindling coal supply to in
sure continued operation of the rail
roads and essential industries.
To Consider Next Move.
With present stocks of coal, there
will be no undue risk of an industrial
shutdown, officials are convinced, by
a fortnight of waiting to develop the
response to President Harding's in
vitation to resume operations, and the
government in the meantime may
consider the next steps to be taken
should that effort fail. What these
steps might be was the subject of
prolonged discussion at yesterday s
cabinet meeting but without, it was
understood any definite formulation
of policy at this stage. The proposed
plan for coal distribution as well as
the formulation of a policy 'designed
to restrain profiteering will be dis
cussed at a meeting, called here next
Monday by secretary : Hoover of
representatives of the various districts
now producing coal.
Coal From London.
London, July22.-(By A. P.) The
demand for several ships to convey
coal to America, is increasing daily .
Many steamers have peen loaded in
the United Kingdom this week for
sailings to various American ports,
the freight rate being from 8 to 10
shillings a ton.
Lloyd's shipping list today says
some ship owners are endeavoring
to force a fixed rate of 9 shillings,
6 pence a ton, but as American snip
ing board .steamers are willing to
come over and load at 7 shillings, 6
pence there is little prospect of the
higher rate being paid.
The American demand for. coal has
caused a scarcity of tonnage in some
sections. In Cardiff, Newcastle and
Middlesbrough, the heavy bookings
for all kinds of ;coal for July : ship
ment to the United States have caus
ed an advance of from 6 pence to
a shilling a ton. Cardiff export
firms alone' are said to have booked
300,000 tons and Newcastle firms,
150,000 tons'.
