Sunday night agreed to return to work
shortly before two o'clock this morning
according to word reaching the South
ern Pacific headquarters In Sacra

sprcud the news that they wore "ready
for service." Arrangements were made
at onco by Southern Pacific officials, It
was reported, to move several hundred
cars of fruit that had been tied up in
the yards at Rosevllle since Sunday's
walkout.
The terms upon which tho men
agreed to return to their poBts were
not made known, though union men
admitted that a plea by representa
tives of the big fruit shipping concerns
of this section to move the fruit nnd
prevent millions of dollars worth of
loss to the producers had a strong in
fluence In inducing the trainmen to
resume their runs.
Fruit growers and others directly af
fected by the tleups took up tho cud
gels in thoir own defense last night
and meetings nt Wenntchee, Wash.,
and Fresno, Cul., made vigorous ap
peals to President Harding for rollef.
The Wenntchee gathering, asserting
that that district's (25,000,000 fruit
croii the product of a whole year's
work was endangered, offerod to sup
ply and protect men to man trains to
move the fruit. Tho FrcBno meeting
appealed, to the president and the
heads of the four great transKrtatlon
brotherhoods the onglnoers, firemen,
conductors nnd trainmen to end the
strlko nnd avort what appeared to be
an Imminent disaster to the fruit grow
ers, or, fulling that, to doclare an
nrmlstlco long enough to permit the
fruit crop to bo moved.
Fruit Growers Act
Tloth gatherings sought to align pub
lic opinion in thoir behalf, tho Califor
nluiiR by urging mon with financial in
terest In tho crops brokers, bankers
nnd the like to go to Washington nnd
tell thoir representatives in the nation
al councils and the railroad brother
hood executives what they thought of
the affair; whilo tho Wenntchee moot
ing sent telegrams to a number of fruit
growing sections seeking adoption of
resolutions , demanding government
action If necessnry. Ono clause In
their resolutions roquostod an Immedi
ate assembly of congress to consider
roller measures.
Soutnorn Orogon, alarmed by the
Southern Pacific's embargo, showed
apprehension that tho fruit crop of
that region might not bo movud to can
nories, Willi resultant heavy loss to
growers..
Loss Already Large
Estimates of tho loss varied widely,
some going so fur as to place that in
California nt f:i7,000,000 to the growers
alone but all agreed that on account
of the delicate nature or the crop, the
dnningo duo to hick or transportation
hud been heavy and was increasing
by thousands hourly.
A now factor in the situation nnd
ono which experienced railroad men
said woll might bo viewed with appro-
honslon, was tho refusal of pumping
plant employes along the Santa Fe
linos to remain at work. An Inspection
hy an Associated Press correspondent
disclosed that some of tho water tanks
at desert plants along this road's lines
between Noodles nnd San Ilornnrdlno
iipparently wore dry and others nearly
so.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15. (By the As
sociated Press.) The Pirates, worn
from the strain of winning a long
string of thirteen games, one after
another, dropped a game to the Reds
ant then, to make matters worse,
were trimmed decisively yesterday
by the Phillies, a team they had de
feated previously In every engage
ment of the season.
Jess Winters held the Pirate bat
ters In check while his teammates hit
Glaznor and Carlson for thirteen hits
and ten runs.
In the only other gamo In the ma

from the Cardinals 8 to 6 and sent
the St. Loulsans still further away
from the leading Giants.

Hanes for the Cardinals, had a per
fect day at bat with three hits In as
many trips to the plate.
It was tho eleventh win for the

Roman" today is celebrating his 63d
birthday anniversary.
Ho is Charles Albert ComiHkey,
president and owner of the Chicago

men In baseball. Builder of what
was considered In years gone by, one
of the greatest baseball clubs 111 pro

wrecking his mnVhine following the
world series disclosures of 1919, to

Picked by experts from const to
coast this year as a poor second di
vision club tho White Sox have pro
vided ono of the greatest surprises of
tho season. The' club, ttftor getting
away to a. poor start, suddenly started
its climb toward the top of the
league, nnd on June 10, tho White

place. Tho club' recently went into
a batting slump but again has struck
Its stride.
Mr. Comlskey iipset tho baseball
world In tho fall of 1920 when he
wrecked his baseball club following
disclosures of throwing tho 1919
world's series Rttmes to tho Cincin

extent of ono million dollars or more.
Not discouraged by tho terrible Iohs
Mo. Comlskey set about at once to
build another baseball club. Ho tried
to buy star players from other clubs

Ho sent scouts to ull parts of the
country and gathered every promis
ing player lie could Into .the fold.

who woh one of tho players who re
mained loyal to the Old Roman. This
year, tho club Is virtually tho same
as last season, with the exception that
a few promising young pitchers have
been added to tho roster.
Recently Mr. Comlskey startled tho

The operators in the meeting have
mines in Ohio, West Virginia. Penn

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. (By the
Associated Press.) T. DeWitt Cuy
ler, chairman of the Association of
Railway Executives, was today asked
by leaders of the five transportation
brotherhoods the engineers, fire
men, conductors, brakemen and
switchmen to form a committee of
that association to meet them In
conference on the shopmen's strike.
"Wo asked Mr. Cuyler to come into
conference to try to avert this crisis
which is approaching on the rail
roads," said Mr. Stone.
Warren S. Stone, chief of the en
gineers, and chairman of tTio confer
ence of railroad labor organization
officials announced that Mr. Cuyler
had been reached over the long dis
tance telephone, but that he had not
given a response. Mr. Stone said he
expected Mr. Cuyler, however, would
agree, because tho executives' asso
ciation chairman never had previous
ly failed to respond favorably to a
joint request of the train service or
ganizations for a conference. He add
ed that he did not believe they could
arrange the meeting prior to Thurs
day. Shopmen's Views tJiven
The statement accompanying the
shopmen's letter of rejection, in ad
ditton.jp charging that the railroad
executives also had declined to ac
cept the president's proposition in
their response, said that "the rail
road managers apparently, intended
to he the court, judge nnd jury for
the trial and conviction of those em
ployes whom they had not Intended
shall return to work."
Tho letter, which was signed by
the heads of the seven organizations
on strike, informed The president
that' his proposal had been unani
mously declined for four reasons.
The first was that in a previous

proposal the president had suggested -that
all employes on strike be re
turned to former poiitlons with "se
niority and other rights unimpair
ed." "Your proposal of August 7 is that
the seniority question be agreed to,
or rather disposed of only after they
have returned to work," the letter
said. "This Btrlk,e cannot be and no
other' railroad strike has been set
tled until it was agreed that all em
ployes on strike are to be returned to
work and to their former positions
wtth seniority and other rights un
impaired." The second reason declared that. '
"there is no penalty in the transpor
tation act against employes who
strike when, an Injustice is done
through a decision of the labor rail- .
road board.
The failure of seniority, it , was
added, would read into the transpor
tation act a feature not there.
The third reason, after reciting
that the unions, had agreed to a for
mer settlement proposal of tho presi
dent, said that they wero "unable to
understand why, nftcr wo had ac
cepted your own terms of settlement,
you should now request us to accept
a proposnl which is directly in con
flict with your former proposed
agreement."
As a fourth renson the leaders de
clared the president's latest proposal
"impracticable," and tending Tto
"complicate a chaotic condition be
cause of the undetermined seniority
status of tho employes."
Concluding the letter asserted that
railroad employes were mindful of
the public interest, that in this strike'
they had been willing to accept an
original settlement arrangement .
which "did not require that the em
ployes make a concession of prar
ticallv every issue which brought
aiout the strike," and that "IX press
s'atements are correct the managers
nf snTie of the roads the Inst few
days havo frankly admitted that thev
do not desire at this time to settle
the strike, but hope , to be pormittod,
to continue their efforts to disinte
