The term of Mark Storen, who probably will be succeeded by Meredith, expires July 19. Under the agreement reached by Senators Watson and New several months ago, the United States marshal appointment is included in the patronage of Senator Watson. The agreement also provided that Watson should have the appointment of the collector of internal revenue for Indiana.

Appointments have been made for all of these offices with the exception of the United States marshal and the collector of customs for Indianapolis.

Threading! the traffic during Fifth avenue's most crowded hour, a woman was confused and stepped directly in the path of swiftly moving automobiles. Crowds on the sidewalks looked on with horror or turned away from what appeared to be an inevitable fatality, but one man dashed through the street, seized the woman by the arm, and dragged her back to safety. Dazed by her sudden and unexpected delivery from death or serious injury she failed to thank her rescuer. A traffic cop was more alert. He stopped the man after he had taken a dozen steps and asked his name. The stranger, who was a negro, turned. "Are you going to arrest me?" ho asked. "No," said the officer. "That was a brave, act and I want to report it." "Just say that a black man did it," and turned away. He was Dr. Robert Russa Moton, successor of Booker T. Washington as head of the Tuskogee institute, major in the American army during the war, and one of the foremost figures of his race in America.

LEWIS URGES JOINT WAGE CONFERENCES

Parley Called by Harding to Discuss Coal Crisis Holds First Session Participants Pledged to Secrecy. HOOVER INTERVENES WASHINGTON, July 1. With all participants pledged to maintain silence during the interim, the conference of coal operators and miners sumTnoned todav by President Harding took a two-hour adjournment shortly after noon. Johr Iewis, president of the miner's union had made a lengthy address during the session and Secretary Hoover intervened in the deliberations. Mr. Lewis' demand was under stood to be for a reconstitution of the joint wage conference between mine union officers and coal operators in !the central fields. Chairman Ogle said the attitude of the operators had not been stated fully before temporary adjournment. Indication still was lacking up to the moment of the conference of any disposition on either side to make concessions on the contraversial issues which have tied up union fields. Miners Insistent In the bituminous controversy the miners still insisted upon continuance of the 1920 wage scales' and a seminational wage agreement, with the operators believing a wage cut to be necessary and offering the negotia tion of separate district wage scales as a substitute for the broader agreement. Since President Harding's call for the conference to consider possible methods for settlement of the controversy, however, it has been empha sized by administration officials that it was the desire of the government j that the meeting should be held above , the controversial issues involved and ratner lay tne Dasis ana sareguara me way tor anotner conrerence iuuy authorized to deal with these. On the other hand, it was reiterated as the administration's purpose today j to give the give uie yaiucipauis u tunity at the start to attempt to work out their own plans for a settlement. If this fails, a government program may be put forward, but the government's efforts, it was emphasized, will be based on persuasion and not on compulsion. Personnel of Parley , v Of the 50 men participating in the conference half are miners' union offi cials, three speak for the general com miuee or antnracue operands ana ne remainder are the operators selected to represent the various districts of the bituminous field. President Harding, after welcoming those attending the conference, was j leaving the city today for an absence of a week, but Secretaries Hoover and Davis were expected to remain in th conferenc. ADMINISTRATION TO UPHOLD POWER OF RAIL LABOR BOARD - CRy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 1. The 400,000 union railroad shop workers called out on strike today in protest of decisions of the railroad labor board faced the determination of the administration to stand squarely behind the board and uphold its authority as a legal component of the federal government. "The labor board Is the government when it speaks," was the lanr.age used by a White House spokesman yesterday in declaring the administration's determination to back up that agency in all its decisions., whether they draw the protest of labor organ - izations because they involve wage cuts or of railroad management because they forbid contracting for repair work with private shops. As the one agency af the government with authority delegated by congress to deal with disputes between the railroads and their employes, the board's decrees, th administration spoksman furthr asserted, must and will be backed up by the government. Raises Question Coming a few minutes before what Chairman Hooper, of the labor board, declared to be the flouting of a government body in the refusal of B. M. Jewell, head of the railway department of the American Federation of Labor, and some of his colleagues to answer a summons of the board, the administration pronouncement left unanswered the question whether further action in this connection would be considered under the administration view of the matter. Lack of authority by the board to enforce its decisions, however, was generally believed to leave no steps to be taken by the government at this stage except to maintain. its stand behind the board's decisions. $1,748 Received By Clerk For Quarter Just Ended Fees and other charges totaling $1,74S were collected by the county clerk in the quarter ending June 30, according to the report filed with the county auditor Saturday. The amount came in from the following sources: Civil cases, 454.65; probate cases, $519.90; criminal, $17.50; marriage licenses, $284; other licenses, $29.50; official bonds, $17; miscellaneous, $9.15;. clerk's fees, $23.S0; sheriff's fees, $27.50; docket fees, $144; jury I fees, $13.50; fines, $220.

C&O, EM PLOYES QUIT Approximately 200 shop workers at the east end yards and repair shops of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania system left their work Sat urday morning, in answer to the rail road strike call. The workers who walked out were composed for the most part, of the force engaged in repair work in the engine room and the car department at the local yards. Shortly after their walkout, the workers marched in a body to their headquarters rooms in the I. O. O. F. building. The procession was conducted in an orderly manner and at tracted little attention as it passed along Main street. Clerical forces in several of the offices of the local Pennsylvania dii vfainn were fe-Ant nTi Hntw hcrf-nnco rf FpeciaJ work necessary by the strike and were not able to ston work at lunch time. The repair division is the only part of the system affected by the strike, and it is understood that the trains on the Pennsylvania road will be able to run on schedule for some time, without feeling the effect of the walkout, - . - - -;' . - The local offices of the C. O. railway announced that about half of the shop force at their Boston shops were off duty as a result of the order. About 25 men answered the strike call there. Strike News Summary (By United Press) America today was confronted with one of the greatest strike crises since 1894. Four hundred thousand railway shopmen were called out on strike, while 1,000,000 miners already were striking. As the railroaders were trooping from shops throughout the country. President Harding was addressing representatives of the miners and operators in Washington in an effort to stop the coal strike, which has been in progress 13 weeks. The exact number of shopmen who will obey the strike order is not known. First reports from Albany were that men walked out of the .New York Central roundhouse, but half an hour after the strike went into effect they were still at work in other shops around Albany. Meanwhile in Chicago, Ben Hooper, chairman of the United States rail labor board, wh,ose authority has been defied by unions involved in this walkout, admitted the government had done everything possible to avert the trike but had failed. The public will not feel the strike, in rmininn of ra.ilroad executives unI ipoa more unions ioin it. 1 Machinists, blacksmiths, boilermak- j ers, carmen, sheet metal worsers, ana electricians quit their jobs today. Maintenance of way men, clerks, signalmen and stationary firemen are taking a strike vote. The conductors, firemen; telegraphers and switchmen are not contemplating a strike. The railroad labor board ruling reducing wages from two to nine cent3 an hour, effective today was one of the direct causes of the strike. CHARLES E. FORD, 62, IS DEAD IN CHICAGO Charles E.

RAILROAD SHOP WORKERS DROP TOOLSJUIETLY Starting in East, Cessation of Work Spreads on All Lines Affected Public Does Not Feel Strike.

400,000CALLED OUT BULLETIN CHICAGO, July 1 Notwithstanding the efforts of the federal government. acting through the United States Railroad Labor board, to throttle a strike of the nation's railway shop workers, thousands of snopmen answered th: call of their union leaders and laid down their tools at 10 o'clock today. Beginning in the New England states at 10 o'clock eastern time, the shopmen walked out on the Boston line. New Haven. Burlington and Arrowstock and other roads. Gradually the walkout spread westward as the roundhouse clock atproached the rezo hour, 10 o'clock, local time. By noon the action was reported from every big road in the east, south and central west,- including the New York Central, , Erie, Northwestern, Burlington, Chicago and Alton, Southern, and Baltimore and Ohio, and other big trunk lines. There was no Interruption of traff i on any lines. Engineers and trainmen stuck to their posts, although under instruction from brotherhood chiefs to perform only their regular duties. (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 1. Thousands cf railroad shop men dropped their too!-? today to Join the nation-wide strike call issued by the international president of the six shop craft unions. Early replies indicated tiat r the shop mechanics and their helpers from the New England roads to the western lines were generally joining the walkout, with about 50,000 said to have actually quit work by noon. While there was no way of comparing figures which might be all inclusive, reports from Boston to Kansas City showed that the strike had taken effect on neardy all the important roads of the east and middle west. Shopmen in western states were expected to join the secessionist movement when the zero hour, 10 o'clock, arrived in their territories. The call sanctioning blacksmiths, boiler makers, sheet metal workers, electr ical workers and machinists to . stop work at 10 a. m. local time today, was issued Thursday night after a ballot by the 400,000 shop workers had 6howed, according to union officials, a 96 per cent majority in favor of striking. Not more than 350.000 members and helpers were actually at work, however, according to latest government figures, although the union's total membership was allowed to vote, many shopmen being tem porarily laid off. Approximately 100,000 shopmen one-fourth of the entire number are employes of railroad shops in Chicago and environs Jewell Firm. B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employes department of the American Federation of Labor, who, with offic ials of the various shop crafts, defied summons to appear before the United States labor board yesterday, in a last effort to avoid a strike apparently decided to remain consistent with hir. ultimatum to the railroads last- week.

Jewell successfully avoided suo;,. ,f, poena servers during the' night' after, . ', the board issued a writ calling upon' . him to appear at the close of yesterday's conference. Efforts to locatehim were fruitless until after mid- . ; night whe nhe was found at .-h.otel where he met with his chairmen acd ; , considered hundreds of telegTams re- ; garding the strike., He declined to comment on the situation. J. ' Urged Rule Ignored. , In his ultimatum Jewell told railroad executives that the only possible avenue to peace was for the railroads to ignore the decision of the 'labor

board slashing $60,000,000 from the wages of shopmen today and to re store rules governing overtime pay and working conditions along with an

agreement to discontinue the system by which several railroads farmei out work to contractors. r- t - , ; . . Declaring that the "blood was oa ' Jewell's own head," Ben -W, Hooper, . chairman of the labor board, who led c the way to a peaceful settlement1 oi ' ' the threatened strike of trainmen last October, said Jewell's belated appear ance under subpoena could not at such r ' a late hour result in any reversal o! the strike order in time to prevent 'si-., suspension of work. ; ' ,.
