when the mail stage of the Clats-kanle-Mlst

The accident happened when the

were Mrs. Thorn Badney and Mrs.

CHICAGO, July 22. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Three principal is
sues now prevent a possible settle-
". ment of the railway shopmen's
strike, B. M. Jewell, head of the
railway employes department of the
American Federation of Labor said
in a statement tonight. These is
sues, he said, are found in the re
fusal of the rail executives to (1)
discontinue contracting work; (2)
to establish a national board of ad-
:. justment; and (3) to continue sen
iority rights of employes who sus
pended work.
"The responsibility for increasing
losses to the railroads, to the com
, munities they serve and to the wage
earners upon the' railroads and
elsewhere through continuance of
the present suspension of work,"
the statement said, "rests now
plainly upon the association of rail
way t executives and particularly
upon that small but dominating
group representing the New York
banking interests."
" Board, Decision Violated.
Pointing out that the railroad
- labor board has decided against the
; practice of contracting railroad
work in certain cases, Mr. Jewell
, asserted that the Erie railroad, the
; New York Central and its sub
sidiaries including the Indiana Har-
i bor Belt line, the Michigan Central
; and the Big Four and the Western
i Maryland road have all contracted
, out shop work.
"Manyi other roads," the statement
. said, "have followed the same prac
; tice and always with the purpose
and result ot reducing wages, evad
'. ing decisions of the labor board, de-
grading working conditions and at
tacking the employes organiza-
'i tiona ,
The contract issue is the only one
of the three issues on which a strike
vote was taken which Mr. Jewell's
statement today said held up a pos
Bible settlement. The other two
strike issues were wages and work
ing rules, it having been virtually
agreed at conferences that these
matters could ie submitted to the
,, labor board for a rehearing. The
seniority and adjustment board is
sues have been brought up since
tne stnkestarted.
National Boards Wanted.
Appealing or national adiustmen
boards to decide disputes, Mr. Jewell
said that the association of railway
executives opposed such boards for
the purpose of "deliberately" over-
, loading tne labor board.
k , Employes desire one national
. board, the statement said, "becaus
r shop work conditions are practically.
, tne same everywnere, uniform na
tional rules have been promulgated
Dy tne labor board, uniform inter
, pretation of such rules is desirable
and intermediate boards will create
inharmonious rulings and regional

DUBLIN. July 22. Hard fighting
marked the taking of Limerick by
the national forces. The irregulars'
casualties are indefinite, but it is
known that 20 were Killed and many
wounded at the Strand barracks
alone. The total national losses
were six killed and 20 wounded.
Sixty irregulars "were taken pris
oner, 'the others escaping.
The nationals attacked at 11
o'clock Thursday morning, throwing
35 shells into, the Strand barracks
and then storming them. Next the
nationals took St. John's castle and

mill s plant at Prescott will not
run beyond $375,000 was the opinion
expressed last night by Otto Ket
tenbach, one of the officials of the
company. Details of the fire' had
not been received by local officials.
. The fire will have little effect on
operations of the company, Mr. Ket-
tenbach added. Just how much
grain was in the mill at the time of
its destruction was unknown to of
ficials here.
The Prescott fire is the second
serious blaze In the company's mills
in the past six months. In Febru
ary the local cereal mills at East
First and Washington streets was
damaged by a fire.

simultaneously assaulted the ord
nance barracks, where a fire had
broken out.
The irregulars holding other
buildings set them on fire and then
retreated through tunnels to con
necting positions.
aAf ter the fall of Limerick about
3000 irregulars who were Daseo on
the town moved southward.
At the close of a hard but sue
cessful week, the efforts of the
Irish troops are confined princi
pally to consolidating the number
of important positions won and
continued activity of motor patrols.
A week-end lull is not unlikely be
fore the march southward Is re
sumed, where Cork continues to be
the main objective.
Military, experts point out that
the conquest of Cork would be at
tained more quickly and easily and
with less destruction of. property
and with fewer casualties if a Joint
attack from land and sea were
made, as the harbor offers no par
ticular difficulties to a landing
party.
Boats . already have participated
in two operations of the nationals.
One was the attack on Inch island,
and the other was when a few
shells were fired from the river
Shannon on the irregular positions
in Limerick. Therefore the use of
boats in the more important opera
tions in the south would not be sur
prising. Rebel Forces Inferior.
. A general defeat for the irregu
lars in south Ireland is regarded
now as certain in army quarters. In
numbers and ' fighflng equipment
they are declared to have proved
inferior to the national army forces,
whose competently handled artillery
has been able to dislodge the in
surgents from any position they oc
cupied. ,
"Apparently the irregulars have
made Clonmel their headquarters
after their retreat from Limerick
and conflicts are considered possi
ble there, as well as at Mallow and
Fermoy. Though they hold Cork
city, their force there is not be
lieved- to be a strong one.

WASHINGTON, D. V., July 22.
