U. S. RAILWAY STRIKE.

FURTHER OUTBREAK OF VIOLENCE. Received July 13,* 10.30 p.m. NEW YORK, July 13. There has been a further outbreak of violence in connection with the railway strike, principally in Baltimore and Chicago. One man was killed and two others shot. Sixty guards and deputy marshalls were beaten and stoned. The strikers attempted to interfere with the train services and the result has been some curtailment of schedules and rioting. THE CLOUDS LIFTING. Received July 13, 10.30 p.m. WASHINGTON, July 13. Some lightening of the clouds caused by the coal and railway strikes has begun. White House has announced that operators have accepted, in principle, arbitration. At the same time the railway strikers have declared that they will carry out President Harding's proclamation to the letter. They are also submitting a proposed settlement to the railway executives. While the miners acepted President Harding’s arbitration proposal in principle the miners’ leaders submitted a detailed plan under which arbitration shall be conducted. President Harding is considering this. STRIKERS' PROPOSALS REJECTED. Received July 13, 10.30 p.m. NEW YORK, July 13. Latest Chicago telegrams state that the railway executive flatly rejected the strikers’ proposals, stating that they will stand unwaveringly by the railway ’ labour board’s decision.
