They again refused to send representatives to Cleveland to meet the miners’ leaders until the latter agree to arbitration following upon the re-opening of ! the mine* under the old wage and working conditions.

Government must itself find some way of extricating the industry from the present difficulties. Received Aug. 13, 11.5 p.m. New York, Aug. 12. It was learned later that the railway executives’ committee will inform President Harding that they accept the proposal to end the strike with the seniority question referred to the Railway Labor Board, providing the board adheres to the July decision that the men who left work in defiance of the board cannot be regarded as employees of the railways. As, however, the shopmen insist that the seniority rights must be restored, a settlement is apparently blocked. MORE MEN OUT. TRANSPORTATION AT STANDSTILL. New York, August 11.
