It Is te be recalled that Mr. Hard- Mne told nothing te Congress about vl'lilng te take ever the railroads, or ven the coal carrjlngrallreada, and it is "net believed here that he ha any Intention te carry out such a policy. " The strike, 'in the judgment of the bet Infenned here, is being wen. by the railroads. .Kvcn if the shepmen iheuld be taken back new, the union would have lest prcstlge and probably numbers. If the" strike -gees te a fin Ih, there' Is little doubt that this union trill be seriously weakened, provided the brotherhoods de net enter te the content, h'l'e signs nre that the broth erhood chiefs regard the culling of the ihenmen's strike n unwise, nnd they ire atcrse te taking the risks that wiuld be Involved in giving nctlve sup port.

One relatively weak union, rather unwisely led, may be seriously set, back, but the mere powerful railroad unions remain unaffected. And the miners' union is left In a stronger position than ever. v The public is being put te great ex nenw nnd inconvenience for the sake x of an Inconsiderable result. The fnllure of the conference in New Yerk demonstrates the difficulty which President Hnrdlng fared in his efforts te bring about Industrial peace nnd which lie described se well In his inecch te Congress. The warfare ou the unions, which the President de . preeated, Is being carried en, se 'bitterly that te the controlling spirits among the railroad executives e.ven'u small "tacti cal victory sems worth while. The, brotherhood chiefs who attempted in New Yerk te end "the dispute could bring mere pressure upon .the rnllreud executives than could the President of the United ftates. Business Eager for , Settlement At the same time the-banking and business interests were also pressing for settlement. Tlie greater business men of, the country saw nothing te be gained that would be worth the cost of a pro tracted struggle. Yet the executives remain rather solidly determined te Unlit It out.

Establish. ment of a Federal' fuel distribution ngenc,v te ireet the present coal "emer gency'' and tha extension of breed new. ers te the Interstate Commerce Com Cem Com mlssieri wfth respect 'te the issuing of embargoes and priorities Is proposed In n bill introduced today by Senater Curii mlns, chairman of the Senate Inter sta'te Comm'crce Committee. The office of "Federal fuel distribu tor" would be created bv the bill and that official would be empowered te de termine facts relative te fuel prices, shertnges and supplies generally, pro duction and marketing methods nnd -the reasonableness of profits taken within the Industry. He would make reports en his findings te the Interstate Com Cem Com merce Commission, which could net thereon as warranted. Other Bills Before Senate At the tlme the Cummins bill was Introduced the Senate was debating two measures providing for a cenl fact finding 'commission. Senater Berah, author of the j Senate bill, advocated passage of his measure In preference te unit iiiiwuu d.v i ne xiuifc nisi Ulguc, out the whole subject was taken ever te tomorrow en request of several Senators who said they desired te study the, two bills together. The Cummins bill provides that the President, by proclamation, may declare the present emergency at an end nnd that the law then would become Inopera tive. In addition te giving the Inter state. Commerce Commission power te Issue orders for "priorities, embnrgecs nnd ether suitable measures," the meas ure would confer en the commission blanket rights te tnkc such ether steps ns rirc necessary In the public Interest te meet the emergency and maintain continuous transportation of fuel. The distributor would be allowed te employ anv number of assistants and nt such salaries as he saw fit from the appro priation of $250,000 carried by the bill. It Is indicated thatln some measure the bill met the views of the administra tion, although it did net provide for a coal purchasing nnd selling agency ns recommended te Congress by the Presi dent In hlh recent address. Chairman Winslow. of the Heuse In terstate Commerce Committee, Is also preparing a bill te enrnffee Federal con trol ever the distribution of coal. He would net say when the bill would be Introduced. The Administration measure, said" te provide for a Federal agency empow ered te purchase, sell and distribute coal in such ,a manner ns further te curb profiteering, wns understood te be In process of drafting by Commerce De partment officials, who already had se cured an opinion from the Deportment ler .lust ice en tlie legal peipts involved. ii wen iiiuii-nicu wini it weuki ec sent te the Capitel in the near future. Purchasing Plan Coldly Received Chairman Winslow sold he had re ceived numerous suggestions from the Administration at te what Is censid ered desirable te increase Federal ou- tnerlty ever the distribution of coal, but that none had taken the form of n drafted bill. Whenv asked whether he would, embody in his bill a Federal, cool purchasing nnd sale's commission, he replied that his measure still was In a nebuleiis stnge nnd that he had reached no conclusion. Among eme Republican members of the Heuse doubt was expressed whether it would be possible te pass at this time u bill providing for n Government agency te purchase nnd sell coal. It was said that instead the Interstate Cemmerce Cemmittee might be expected te attempt enlargement, of the Presi dent's control ever the' Interstate ship ments of coal as an lmmedlute solution, leaving the purchasing commission for later consideration should it be found that prices cannot be effectively con trolled without It Alteena, Pa., Aug. 24. (Bv A.'p.) The miners of District Ne. 2, United Mine Workers of America, today were lcjeiclng ever the agreement, signed Inst night by union leaders and central Pennsylvania field operators, which will send them Inte the pits just as seen ns the mines are made ready. A few of the miners went, te work this morning, but a majority of the men who walked out April 1, last, had te wait until the workings were mnde safe and the mines cleaned up. 'iiie agreement covers only these operators who have recognized the union. United Mine Workers' lenders declared non-union operators of the State would be invited te n conference immediately and given nn opportunity te sign the agreement. In event they refuse, it was said, the strike, se far as their mines nre concerned, will con;. tlnue. Under the agreement, mines from which ceme an annual tonnage of 20, 000,000. will begin heisting coal as seen as possible. Pcnnsjlvnnln. Railroad of. ficlals said sufficient cars will be ready te handle the production. The new treaty provides for the con tinuance until March 31, 1023, of the wage scale in effect when the men went en strike. All the previsions of the old contract with one exception are re tained. The rule which calls for con tinuance, of work for thirty day's after the sea In committees begin deliberations for a new agreement was nbellshed. Opcruters announced that the agree ment stipulates they, need net attend the Cleveland meetings, called for Ok. tebcr 2 and January 3, unless Illinois producers attend the sessions.

The rise wns followed by u pretest from sub-district officials of the United Mine ttersers, wne termed the increase "legalized robbery," and declared It called for a btutement from the mine workers. "Miners have returned te work under the same wages and conditions," Secre tary Jehn Watt, of the sub-district, said. "There hat. been smnll less, te cither miners or operators. Because of the great quantity of, cenl stored and the fact that mines would be idle, whether or net there had been a strike, the operators' cannot with geed grace lay their increase in prices te the losses they benr. It. Is just plain prefltect lug." Mine owners about Springfield ml vised retail dealers today that the price M coal had been raised from $3.7$ te $5 a ten.

( It was understood, however, that opponents, believing rrcsident Harding would veto the measure, were disposed te let It go through this time without extended dis cusslen. , Ship Subsidy BUI te Wait President Harding will net press for immediate consideration by Congress of the Administration Ship Subsidy bill, nencving mat it would be better te post pest pone action until "we can rivet the at at tnetien of Congress with a, full attend ance," rather than "Jeopardize its suc cess," by consideration under the pros ent circumstances. The President's position was set forth In n letter yesterday te Renre- scntativc Mendell, who had written the Executive that he nnd his associates were reluctant te bring the bill te a vote jn me iieuse at tins time. In addition te the diminished attend ance in the Heuse, "new comnllcntlens" have arise which make a "difficult situ ation," the President said, adding that "we must face the fact that friends of the bill must harmonize their views." R, R. Union Chiefs in Secret Session Continued from rase One tcrs, wbere they remained until 1:C5 A. M close'ted with B. M. Jewell. president of the striking crafts, and eleven ether heads of stationary trades. What developed nt this session was net disclosed. The failure of a maierltv nt the rendu te participate in negotiations which the se-canctj minority continued late last night was ascribed te two reasens: First. Their refusal te recognize the seniority demands of the strikers as n basis for settlement. Second. Their refusal te consider Inking back nil of the strikers, a point which President Harding's last proposal contained, nnd which the strikers have consistently demanded. The miner group was understood te be willing te take back all their old men, providing it could be done with out necessitating n withdrawal from the stand en seniority, in which they concurred wth the majority. The Association of Railway Execu tives, by n vote of 254 te 4, yesterday rejected the proposal of the Big Five Train Service Brotherhoods, that the carriers end the nntlen-wlde shepmen's strlke by reinstating the men with sen iority unimpaired. B. M. Jewell, of ficial spokesman for the strikers, de clared the association hnd closed the deer te peace nnd voted for a lockout te smnsji, unionism, At the same time, splitting 'away from the majority, was a group of twenty-five railroads, principally West ern lines, which debuted a new sugges tion of the brotherhoods thnt individual settlements be effected. The Western minority, while professing te stnnd with the majority in reaffirming the stand en seniority, still indicated its desires te hear further regarding the Individual settlement suggestion. Among these upholding the majority view was L. F. Lorce, president of the Delaware and Hudsen and a leader of the se-called "fight-to-finlsli-en-senl erlty" group. Mr. Leree and his band. it wns said, constituted the majority of the members of the Association of Railway Executives and were satisfied with the stand previously taken by that bedv, against restoring seniority. While official announcement was lucking, it was learned that the asso ciation hnd reaffirmed its stand en sen ierity. A committee, meeting with me diat6rs. then read a resolution te H,,.t effect and received two .cotmter-prepos- I nls, after which the Brotherhood men, te the abtenibhment of observers, went before the association as a whole.

Scenes typical of the nation's sorrow marked the progress of the coffin from tha ntnnmsliln thretich the long avenue nf trnnns with retersed arms te the tvnttlntr im carrlncc. Regular offices draped the plain oak casket In the Free State colors and placed it en the wooden plntferm built en the elghtcen-peunder gun carriage. The dead Bcncrnl'H charger was led riderless alongside. The members of the previsional eev rnmint nnd dcnutles of the Dell Eire unn. tegetner with the members of the headquarters stmt, immediately ioi iei ioi lewed. Then came the throngs of bare headed men and women, many of them maklnc no effort te restrain their tears.

Acress his shoulders; he carried u machine sun, the same gun with which he said afterward he had poured a hail of lead into Col Cel lins' attackers. Story of Fatal Ambush After the precession wns dismissed he told an interviewer In n shy and diffident manner and in n voice often choked bv emotion u vivid story of the fatal ntnbifsh. "The car in which Cellins was rid ing," he said; "was the first te meet the ambushers' fire. There were nt least 250 of them against twelve of us. It' wns about 0 o'clock when we passed through the vlllnge. We had net gene ever 400 yards .along the read when from both sides we were caught by a deadly criss-cress of machine-gun fire. "The driver of Cellins' car wanted te drive nt full speed, "but the general ordered him te halt and told us te tnkc cover. He took command of the whole situation nnd- directed the fire against theattackers for nearly nn hour. Twe machine-guns kept up incessant firing at Mick's open car, but up te then no one hud been hurt, and It began te leek as though the irregulars were going te scntter in order te risk no mero cas ualties. "It was during n lull in the at tackers' fire that Mick noticed a sniper creeping oil hands nnd knees some dis tance down the read behind him. Mick Immediately went about u dozen ynrds In his dlieetlen with the object of sten- plng further movement in the rear of the party. At that moment heavy tiring swept across the read from both sides. The gun in the whlnnct armnrmi car which followed had jammed, lessen ing tnc eueci ei our nre. 'The sudden burst of shoetln? emiRci Mick te turn nreund for a few seconds. nnu me next niuuifin x saw nim fall te the ground shot through the head. As he lay dying he shouted words of encouragement te his men te ii ., firing nnd net mind him. Immediately there were cries of 'My Ged ! Mick Is shot.' Men rushed te his assistance. Although bleeding freely from a ter ribly lacerated wound he lived fifteen minutes, during which he continued te fire his revolver."

Londen, Aug. 24. (By A. P.) At the tlme of his death Michael Cellins had under consideration plans te re draft several sections of the constitu tion of tlie Irish Free Stute se as te placate the mere radical Republican element. This was mnde known tedny by Mlchnel Francis Dejle, Philadelphia lawjer. who arrived from Dublin. wlipr he went te consult with the members of the previsional government. Mr. Deyle was the last American, he believes, te see the Free Stnte commander-in-chief alive. He hnd several conferences tlth Cellins, and en the day before the latter went te Jhe Seuth, where he was fated te fall under a bul let, they went carefully ever the dlf ferent points of the constitution which it had been planned te redraft. These points were hree In number. The first concerned the tuking of un oath of allegiance te the King of Englund: the second concerned rati fication of Irish governmental acts by the British PrU-y Council, while the iiuru iiiiiKcu upon me stipulation thnt the powers of the Irish Government shnll be derived from the treaty be tween the. Free Stnte and England. If these points could, be nrrnnged te sat isfy the Republican radicals, General Cellins believed there was n pesslhllitv of Inducing the Irish peeple ns n whole te rally around the Constitution. Mr. Deyle hns been asked by the remaining Irish leaders te continue Ills study of the Constitution sand may return te Dublin, with legal suggestions. Deyle paid glowing tribute te Col Cel lins, saying his enthusiasm for the Irish cause and his dnuntless courage and optimism impelled the very greatest admiration , nnd respect. 'His death,"' he said, "fcllewln, ciniiu , yet one sneuiii jiui u-niw He en Id it wits nrnctlcAlly Impessi ble rn sleen nt nlelit in Dublin' en ac count of the constant rattle of musketry nnu tnc sinister noise pi ncnine kuhb.

Mr. McCermnck Is vis iting his mother, who lives near Dublin. , Mlchuel Cellins' sudden removal from the arena of Irish affairs is given con siderable space in this morning's news papers. Naturally there is n greater effort te eulogize him, te describe his mctorerlc career and romantic person ality and-te pay tribute te his "gay bravery" than there Is te leek into the dark cloud of Ireland's Immediate fu ture. The fact that, eight month's after the Angle-Irish treaty was signed, only one of the Irish signatories remains In power, with the ether Free State min isters unknown quantities In England, is emphasized by the Times in support of its opinion that It Is impossible te regard the future without forebodings. There are ether lenders, bays the Times, but none who has caught the Irish imagination or who has combined the qualities of military nnd political leadership in such high degree us did Cellins. The editorial writers "generally ask who is left te carry en the policy for which Cellins nnd Arthur Griffith steed, but only the Daily Chronicle suggests the possibility of the British .Govern ment again taking a hand In Irish affairs. There is the possibility that the treaty with England was killed with Cellins, says the Daily Express, and the Daily Telegraph, while trusting that the magnitude nnd gravity of the oc casion will raise up n new lender can not disguise Its fenr that the situation will become generally worse. The Dally Mail declares that anarchy and murder are again In the ascendency in Ireland, nnd believes General Cellins paid the pennlfy of his policy of lib erating the rebels once he had captured them. The newspaper urges that what is left of the Free State government leave nothing te chance. . "Who next?" asks the Morning Pest, which views the killing of Cellins as but n sequel te the assassination of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilsen and a pre lude te further murders both in Ireland and England. The mere general editorial opinion, however, is thnt the Irish people hnve had their lessen, und thnt if for the moment there is no strong directing hand, new forces hnve come Inte being that are urging Irclnnd nleng the read te pence, nnd thnt, until convinced that patriotism and political capneity are dead, Ireland cannot and will net de spair. The marriage of General Cellins te Miss Kitty Klernnn hnd been fixed orig inally for last Tucsdav, the day Col Cel lins was killed, n Dublin dispatch te the Evening News says It was learn ed today. The wedding date had been postponed, however, until Inter this month en ncceunt of the death of Ar thur Griffith, president of the Dai El rciinn Cabinet. Miss Klernnn, daughter of n promi nent business man of County Longford, already had bought her trousseau. DECLARES IRELAND WILL FIND LEADER .-'e?' Yerk. Aug. 24. fBy A.
