Senator
Grove

that opportunity presented itself to
Harding, and he grasped Ii bravely
even after his defeat for the governor
ship, two years before, when Judson
Harmon won by 100, 900 majority. Facing
the Roosevelt schismatics, Harding took
up the cause Of President William II.
Taft, whom he placed In nomination
In the national convention at Chicago,
his fearless manner In the face of
strong opposition winning for him an
admiration that has continued to this
day among the leaders OF the party
In the nation,
Two years later Harding had the
vision to see that the Democratic cause
In Ohio was about TO receive a set
back. II was also his judgment, which
was fortified amply by political ex-
perts, that II Joseph Benson Foraker
were renominated to be senator the
favorable result might be changed.
| After making this clear to the old
leaders friends. he entered the pri-
mary contest and was nominated and
elected by a most decisive majority,
BY common consent he was chosen
by the national leaders In 1915 to pre-
| side at the Chicago convention and to
deliver the keynote address, outlining
the policies Of the reorgani2ed party.
His success as n moderator and guide
In that famous gathering added to the
high reputation which already 1t MAS
his good fortune to possess.
Decision upon his part still is TO be
made public. His senatorial term ex-
pires In 1921. which means that the
election OF his successor must take
place next year, II generally Is be-
ileved that II he makes known his de-
sire to be presented for the presidency
by his native state no other Ohio can
didate viii be regarded, Pressure for
his selection is felt from many quarters,
hia attraction IN the pplitiNnl fantnre
being his general development and lack
of radical extremes. His position al
Washington has been that OF a con-
sentative, a regulator, rather than q
generator, and a dealer in facts rather
than In idealisms, His presence, his
comparative youth and his %eloquencC
equip him strongly.

The board organized Monday and be-
gan the taking Of proof Tuesday after

each day, and 1t will probably be two
or three weeks before the arbitrators
are ready to make their report.
The men have been working since
Aug. / on the old war scale, fixed by
the war board last year, the scale rang
ing from about SO to 48 cents an hour.
They are asking for a minimum wage
Of rs cents an hour, with allowances
for overtime after s hours and for a
number Of other changes in working
conditions which if granted will con-
siderably increase the annual payroll,
The committee from the union held
a number of conferences with T. H.
Tutwiler, president of the company,
during August, but no agreement was
reached and both sides agreed to abide
by an arbitration award,
The company is in a federal receiv-
ership and presumably any increases
granted the men will have to be APP
proved by the United States court.
