ASKS FOR AUTHORITY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The only
hope OF averting the threatened rail-
road tie-up now apparently rests with
Congress. After conference with the
President at / o'clock, Senator Kern
OF Indiana announced that all hope of
Congress adjourning must be aban-
doned. He said: Regardless of the
strike controversy and It's develop
ments. parliamentary business of ex.
traordinary importance makes it i'm
possible for Congress to adjourn. We
must stand by the President. Now is
the time for American patriotism to
assert itself, in Congress and through
out the country"
The Senator's brief speech evoked
tremendous applause, on all sides.
The Legislative situation relating TO
the strike hinges on the outcome late
this afternoon OF a conference between
the President and the railroad presi.
dents.
The President shows no sign of the
great strain upon his physical and
mental faculties. He seems tireless,
