CRISIS IN COAL
STRIKE Is SEEN
Officials Expect Men to Return
After Labor Day.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept 4.-That the
peak in the unauthorized strike of the
anthracite mine workers has been
reached was the opinion of operators
and United Mine Workers officials here
today.
1t is expected by these officials that
after Labor day many Of the men now
idle will return to work.
According to an estimate Of an Of
fetal of one Of the largest coal com
panies in the region 100000 men have
left their work as a result of the sus-
pension decided on by the insurgent
element of the miners union.
Many Of the men idle are not in sym
pathy with the radical movement, but
remain away from work through fear Of
the opinion OF their fellow workers if
they do not join the strike, operators
claimed.
United Mine Workers officials are do
ing all possible to persuade the refrac'
tory miners to return TO work.

Paris, May 1S.-The governments
proposed law for the reorganization
of its state system of railroads and
the five systems operating under gov

chamber of deputies today, provides
for director general, to be appointed
by the minister of public works, he
director to preside over a superior
council which will control all the sys-
TENS, unity the time tables and stand
ardize wages, equipment, rates and
operating methods.
Each system is to maintain auto
nomy under its present management
but is to be subject to control. The
superior council will be composed Of
a director general with eighteen mem
bers of a newly created managing
committee and twenty five members
representing the public.
There will be financial solidarity
through the creation of common
fund for surpluses to make up defi-
cits and losses. Each system will be
allowed a fixed amount of net income
and a bonus based on earnings above
a predetermined minimum.
Extensions of lines, which must be
approved, will be borne, four fifths
by the state and one fifth by the
railroads. If the systems fail to be
profitable, they may demand to be
purchased by the state upon the val
uation of equipment in the original
inventory. less one fortieth deprecia-
tion for each years operation, If the
state owned systems become a. ma
, jority the others may compel the
state to buy them on the same basis.

Support Of Harding's Proposals to
'Liquify Frozen Loans" by Bankers
Expected to Hasten Drop In Prices

Washington, May 19.-Adoption by
American bankers of the recommenda-
ton of Governor Harding of the fed
eral reserve board, ito liquify frozen
loans was expected by board officials
to alleviate the financial situation ana
to go far toward bringing down prices.
Governor Harding applied the term
frozen loans" to credit extension
which was permitting large stock of
merchandise to be held in storage for
speculative purposes Additional ac-
cumuhtion of goods in storage, he in
dicated, could be prevented by strict
supervision of credit
Deny Spectators Credit.
Although legislation designed to
drive foodstuffs from storage is now
pending in congress, it was said today
that careful withdrawal of credit from
spectators in food products might ac-
complish more than statutory regula-
ton 1t was emphasized however
that bankers should discriminate mas
much as sin many lines the summer
months see an accumulation of COM
modities for the following winter
Governor Harding warned OF I'M
pending dangers in the cycle. of con-
tinued borrowings and speculation and
appealed to bankers and public alike
to be conservative in its demands for
banking credit.
"It is evident" Mr.. Harding said,
that the country can not continue to
advance prices and wages to curtail
production, to expand credits and at
temptto enrich itself by non-procuc-
tive operations and transactions with
out fostering discomfort and radical
ism and that such course, if persist
ed in, will eventually bring on a real
crisis.
Urges More Production.
Mr.. Harding said that Everything
must be done" to expedite the release
Of money in frozen loans and in COM
modlties held either for speculative
purposes or because of lack of trans
portation and urged bankers to use the
utmost discrimination in granting new
loans.
"Eyerv effort should be made to
timulate necessary production, espe-
cially of food products, and to avoid
waste" Mr.. Harding continued, plant
ing operations in many sections have
been delayed because of adverse weath
er conditions. and should there be an
inadequate yield of crops this year, the
necessity for conservation and conser-
yatism will be accentuated."
