Mine workers and owners have refused the President's request to coal digging again at rates tat prevailed before the strike. The President asks the governors of twenty-eigt coal mining 4 states to get the coal dug and protect ti- nien.

The President promises to back up the governors with all the power of government, which moans the army. The President's message says the state must enable atl to work that -want work. There will be important concessions by the I unions or a trial of strength between unions and government, a trial important to the nation.

MAINTENANCE OFFICl'LS MEET The situation is complicated in Illinois and Indiana by laws that forbid the use of "volunteer labor," which means nonunion labor. Until these laws are repealed--and, in view of coming elections, repealing them will be difficult--those two states cannot act on the President's suggestion without violating their own laws. When this strike ends the people will know whether it is possible or not for state and national governments combined to set aside the power of organized labor. Kidnaping and flogging strikebreakers, with shooting on an extensive scale, indicates that there be much violence and trouble before the object aimed at is attained--namely, the establishment of the open shop in all matters affecting public necessities. The Reverend William Rice is dying of hunger, self-inflicted, in his mountain cabin in Kentucky.

A vision told him to sacrifice himself to convert his neighbors. He has eaten nothing for seventy days, may be dead as this is written.

CHICAGO, July the striking shopmen will make separate peace with individual railroads or insist upon a blanket settlement of the controversy, will be decided, it is expected, at a meeting today of the executive council of the railway employes' department of the American Federation of Labor. Two railroads, the B. O. and the Southern Railway, have expressed wjl.ingness to negotiate with their employes for an adjustment of the controversy.

B. M. Jewell, strike leader, and his executive committee will meet here today and. it is believed, will decide whether to sanction or oppose individual settlements the various roads. If decision is reached to negotiate with the roads individually, it is generally believed that other roads will follow the lead tafcen by the B.

Advices received here declared that E. F. Grable, head of the brotherhood, is that no strike' of his anization will be ordered. Officials here today refrained from comment upon the report from Washington that a conference be( tween heads of leading 'roads and members of the senate interstate commerce committee, called to discuss strike issues, had ended with refusal by the rail executives to consider demands made by the shopmen as a basis for settlement. One grievance of the unions is believed to have been eliminated and the position of the United States railway labor board strengthened by a decision of the United States circuit court of appeals here.

Overruling a decision by United States District Judge Page, the appellate court decreed that the labor board is more than an advisory body and held that It has authority to protect the interests of the unions. Uphold Board's Authority. An injunction granted by Judge Page restraining the board from I prescribing methods of procedure by the Pennsylvania railroad in the selection of employe-representa- tives to negotiate new working rules, was set aside. Judge Page bad ruled that the hoard had no authority to prescribe the manner in which the election should be held. The appellate court upheid the board's authority.

Union leaders have contended that the not obey the rulings of a board a is merely advisory. The decision of appellate court restores some ot" the prestige of the board that waned as a result of Judge Page's decision. Division chairmen of the railway clerks' union will meet in Chicago Monday for a conference on the phases of the strike affecting that organization.
