various parts of the country in recent weeks. Manuel Herrick, a Republican representative from Oklahoma, who has gained considerable notoriety from

his eccentricities, is peeved at his en-;

Trees Blown Down Two large trees on North Sixteenth street were blown down, one of them striking the residence at 103 North Sixteenth and the other striking a large duplex at 105-107 North Sixteenth. The only damage, aside from the loss of the trees, was a broken window at the former place. A tree near the Baxter school house, in West Richmond, was brown down. Falling limbs wrecked a poultry house as 308 North West Third street. Limbs were blown from trees in all parts of the city and practically all streets were strewn with debris arly this morning. Forces of city employes, with motor trucks, were busy early, removing the fallen limbs. Lightning, coming in over the lines of the Municipal Light .and Power plant "kicked out" emergency switches on some of the auxiliary machinery in the plant resulting in a slight interruption of service Friday morning.

m. The Richmond Home Telephone St "company had its entire force at work before day break to repair the damage done to its system, which Manager Bailey estimated to be $1,000. He said all repairs would be made by evening. Many telephones were reported out of service. A number of lines and cables were down and many fuse3 blown. At Economy corn stalks were broken and twisted in all directions and tree limbs littered the streets. Several telephone lines were reported out by the local company.

jacent to the mines. With the ending of the strike it was obvious that these men would tend to go back to the mines, and it is reasonable to infer that the recent increase in wages in the steel trade was made to meet this situation. Got Into Other Work In the eame way many of the striking railroad men did not remain idle, but went into other work. Many o;.' them, in fact, while figuring as strikers on one railroad actually moved to other shops on other lines and went to work as non-union men.

Veneer of Civilization W earing Very Thin Says Governor Allen

(By Associated Press) TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 25 The veneer of our civilization is wearing very thin. Governor H. J. Allen, declared in an address here last night, on the strike situation. "The reports of wide-spread violence reaching us the last few days indicate that peoDle are getting angry. What we need and need very greatly is a new birth in the hearts of American citizens touch

ing on their duty to the law. We need it far worse than' we need immigra tion laws." "The coal 6trike brought us into contact with the strikers led by the radical foreign reds," he said. "If 1 were to have to choose the strikers I deal with, I'd rather have the foreign reds than the American citizens. The foreigners hate the government, but fears it. The tendency of the American born striker, like too many

American citizens is to have neither

respect nor fear for his government Rail Strike Tense

"Rather than being about over, the rail strike now is "at its most tense period," the governor asserted. . Governor Allen said that President

Harding's recent message to Congress i confirmed the view taken by Kansts in enacting the Industrial Court Law that such a law needs teeth. "Th Federal Labor board his failed because it lacked the power to enforce its decisions and now the president would have it equipped with teeth." he added. "The board's decisions virtually were left to public sentiment to enforce them. The general public is a good natured proteplastic mass with no power other than passive resistance or the explosion of righteous indignation and it does not get angry enough."

Democrat, Massachusetts, to empower the president to take over and operate the coal mines. At the same time. Chairman Winslow of the house interstate commerce committee was engaged today on the preparation of a bill of his own to enlarge, federal control over the distribution of coal. He had not indicated, however, just what provision the measure would contain. Long, Heated Debate. Introduction of the Walsh resolution

followed a long and heated debate in the senate, during which demands were made for prompt and drastic

government action to end the coal

and rail strikes. Practically all senators who spoke expressed the opinion that some hardship and actual suffering was certain to result from lack of coal next winter, even should both . strikes be settled at once. Secretary Hoover, at the same time, however, . predicted that bituminous coal production next week would increase to 7,000.000 tons, as compared with 4,000,000 tens last week, although he saw difficulttes ahead unless the rail strike was settled at an early date.

AT MINE FAIR PRICE

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 25 The railroad strike reached the end of its eight! week today to the accompaniment of bomb explosion and extensive violence. Bombing followed a night of rail greasing and cutting of airhose at Roodhouse, III., division point on the

Chicago and Alton. Two explosions occurred at the C. and A. roundhouse i and another bomb burst near a hotel where railroad workers were quartered. The two was thrown into dark

ness shortly before the bombs were set off and citizens were described as afraid to leave their homes. Passengers on one of the Alton's fast trains which pulled out of Roodhouse during the disturbance said many shots were fired. Terrific Explosion. Officials of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad and county authorities were investigating an attempt to dynamite a railroad bridg? near Spanish Lake, Mo., 17 miles from St. Louis. Although the explosion was said to have been terrific, little damage was reported. Earlier disorders at Jasksonvllle, Fla., were followed by the dynamiting of the home of J. A. Williams,

RAIL PEACE BY SEPARATE PACTSJAILS Attempts to End Shopmen's Strike by Individual Settle

ments Abandoned and Conferences Are Dropped. ROAD CHIEFS LEAVE

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 25. Attempts to end the railroad shopmen's strike by separate settlement with individual roads failed today and the conferences were broken. Daniel Willard, head of the Baltimore and Ohio and head of the committee of executives who Wednesday decided to continue negotiations with the mediating brotherhoods to see if

separate settlements were possible, and other rail heads axe preparing to leave town. In announcing the breaking off of negotiations David Williams, head of the eastern strike committee said: "Nothing else could have happened. If they'll quit fussing around, well beat those fellows." The break came after the brotherhood leaders, who right along have maintained that the strike must end because the public demands it, had spent two hours conferring with executives representing about 30 per cent of the country's mileage. Resumption Unlikely These negotiations looking toward Individual settlement began Wednesday night after the association of railroad executives had rejected any proposal involving surrender on the seniority question. After yesterday's

conference the mediators likened their situation to bats who could not find the way out of their difficulties. The brotherhood leaders said after the conference that the mediators had made every possible effort to bring about a settlement, but that negotiations had blown up. They indicated that there was no likelihood at present that they would be resumed. From unofficial sources it was learned that the break up came when labor men rejected proposals advanced by the roads which were regarded by th 3 .

executives as representing a big concession. Urge Struggle Renewed. At labor headquarters where all were prepared for a fight to the finish, telegrams were being dispatched all over the country calling upon strikers to renew the struggle with redoubled vigor. "We know now where we stand," said one leader. The executive's statement issued by Daniel Willard, head of the B. and O., added that the ranks of loyal employes would be protected. A statement issued at labor headquarters said that they did not question the integrity of the executives in making their proposal, but the union would not accept it. B. M. Jewell, head of the strikers, issued a short statement in which he sail : "We do not blame the more reasonable executives who have evidently yielded to pressure. We believe the next few weeks will enable them to

bring home to their hard-shelled colleagues the rai lsituation in its grim

reality . Fflghts Not Impaired. The executives said they felt at liberty to do so as it did not umpair the rights or privileges of the" other roads not participating in the conference. If any dispute came up which could not be settled by direct conference, they were willing to submit these points to a commission of men comprising the heads of the Big Five and five executives. The lines, moreover, said they were willing to enter upon such a plan in a spirit of conciliation. A statement issued by the executives representing main and subsidary lines with 85,000 miles of track all which had attended the latest conferences declared any desire to take advantage of the strike situation to curtail "the pension or other privilege?" which had been earned by the strikers before quitting, and expressed willingness to restore all strikers with pension privileges, unimpaired."
