AS He RETURNS HOME

(By Associated Press)
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Dec. 4.-Re-
turning to American shores today
from his vacation voyage. President
elect Harding received rousing well
come from the Virginia tidewater city
and responded with a message Of re-
newed national confidence and unity.
Final abandonment of sectionalism
and rebirth of fearless nationalism
furnished the theme of several speech
es on his program during the day in
Newport News and Norfolk. He de-
clared that although his trip away
from home had furnished many
pleasant experiences it had served to
make stronger his devotion to inde-
pendent America
The steamer Pastores on which the
President-elect and Mrs. Harding
made the return voyage from the
canal zone, came into Hampton Roads
soon after daylight and docked here
at 1890 a. IN. DISSEMINATING i'm
mediately the party was taken for a
ride through the Newport News ship
Yards and the city's downtown section.
before MI Harding's first speech Of
the day at he Academy of Music.
Crossing to Norfolk on a destroyer
early in the afternoon he was to spend
the remainder of the day as the guest
of that city.
AS she steamed up the Roads, the
Pastores was accorded triumphal
ovation. A flotilla of 25 army air
planes from Langley Field, accom-
panied by three navy dirigibles, went
out to form guard of honor, and the
ships along the path of the president
elect were dressed in marine signal
flags spelling out a welcome.
The presidential yacht, Mayflower,
which brought Secretary Colby to the
Roads on the first leg of his journey
to South America dipped her flags as
the Pastores passed the battleship
Florida waiting nearby to take the
secretary aboard, manned her rail to
honor the president-elect. Big and
little harbor craft joined in thunder
ing chorus of sirens and fog horns.
Tanned by exposure to the tropical
sun and sea. Mr.. Harding came down
the gang plank a picture of perfect
health and Mrs. Harding, who had
been i'll much of the time since they
left New Orleans. Nov. Is, also ap-
peared in excellent health. They
greeted smilingly the crowd which
waited for them at the pier, and dur
ing their ride throughout the city they
were kept busy waving acknowledg-
ment to cheering crowds.
not unusual vicissitude Of travel
DELAYED the start of the motor ride
and held up for a few minutes the
elaborate schedule of entertainment
planned by city officials. At the last
moment on shipboard Mr.. Harding dis
covered that in packing he had neg
lected to leave out of his bag a pair
of high shoes suitable for the chilly
atmosphere and into which the Pas
torres had run overnight. Rather than
attempt to overhaul his baggage, he
made flying trip to downtown shoe
store and changed from his low cuts
to new pair of high tops while the
parade waited. The entertainment
schedule arranged for the president
elect provided for luncheon in New
port News and for a formal dinner in
Norfolk before his departure late to-
night for Bedford, Va, where he
speaks tomorrow.

SOFT COAL FAMINE
AvERTED FOR YEAR
SAYS ALFRED 0CLE
(By Associated PrcSS)

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec "A
grave soft coal famine which threat
ened the nation early last summer
has been avoided and already in many
parts of the country winter stocks
have been laid away, Alfred NJ. Ogle.
vice-president of the National Coal as
sociation, said in a statement here to-
day.
He said that during the winter there
will be enough coal for all usual wants
and at reasonable prices. He declared
that it is impracticable to attempt to
regulate the coal industry through the
arbitrary channel of a coal commits
sion such as the one created by the
Indiana legislature. - .....'
Mr.. Ogle said that it was through
the efforts of the National Coal asso-
citation that the recent coal shortage
had been overcome. With ,bituminous
coal production now running at ap-
proximately 100000 tons a week,
Mr. Ogle said the country would be
we'll supplied with fuel.
Regulation impracticabIe.
Coal emergencies cannot be cured
by attempts to regulate the industry
itself through the establishment of
coal commissions and the issuance or
rules in regard to prices, production
and distribution, which cannot help
hut be more or less arbitrary" said
Mr.. Oglc's statement. There is only
one sure and certain cure for coal
shortage emergencies and that is to
increase production. To do this it is
necessary to reduce labor trouble to
a minimum and increase the supply
Of cars furnished by the railroads to
the mine, shortage of coal cars being
the principal factor in limiting pro-

THE report of the conference, in
so far as ii refers to the question of

no bearing on the National Fedora

already decided that question of our

selves. Our constitution contains a
provision prohibiting us from strik-

this evidence OF our good faith and
constructive intentions. we have in
