Davis Name Considered
Unwelcome Compro-
mise by Unions.
URGED TO APPOINT
MAN with STAMP"
Mine Worker Head, Long.
shOreman Leader and
Duncan Mentioned
BY PHILIP KINsLEY.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. Feb. 90
President-eIect Harding is facing a
predicament in filling the Labor
portfolio in his Cabinet. He has
been informed that a real "dyed-in-
the-wooT' labor man is all that will
satisfy this section of the people,
and that the. appointment of J. ].
Davis. of Pittsburgh, will be con-
sidered a subterfuge and an un-
welcome compromise.
Technically Davis is a union man,
but it is said that he has not been
active for many years in the work
of labor CrganiZations and has lost
that viewpoint. 1t is contended
that Harding needs a man with the
labor union stamp and vision in
view of the many critical industrial
situations he is expected to be
called upon to settle and that the
unemployment problem in particu-
lar. will call for all the support and
sympathy which the executive can
muster to keep the nation out Of
serious trouble this coming year.
still May Name Davis.
other friends of Harding have
urged him to turn away from the
direct labor field into the indus
trial world and to pick d man
known for his keen judgment and
broad sympathy in handling labor
problems. He had thought to meet
both these views by the appoint
ment Of Davis. and may still de-
eide to take this step. But in the
meantime he has been warned. T.
v. O'Connor, leader of the Long
shoremen's Union in New York. is
still here and, while the above
mentioned warnings do not refer
specifically nor solely to him. it is
known that he is a candidate
against Davis and that If Mr.. Hard
ieG decides to give the tnion men.
all that they want that O'Connor
may get chance.
william James. secretary OF the
mine workers, and James Duncan,
are others mentioned. Organiza-
tions of business and manufactur-
ing elements are strong for the
appointment of Davis, and at this
writing he is the strongest candi-
date.
Navy job UnalIotted.
The navy job may not be allotted
until the last moment. as Harding
is still reported to be undecided
and in difficulty about this place
also.
Harding will remain a week lon
ger in St. Augustine. Harry NJ.
Daugherty is close at hand in these
final hours of preinauguration work
days, which, in some respects. are
harder than those which Harding
will have to meet when he actually
assumes office.
Mrs. Harding went out to drive
today for the first time since she
arrived from her New York trip.
She and Mr.. Harding took Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred w. Upham to the Baptist
Church and later for a ride. Charles
E. Hughes, before he left for the
North last night. took up a discus
sion of Far Eastern questions with
John c.. Ferguson, advisor to the
President of China, and talked over
Cuban affairs with DR.. NJ. r. Angulo,
leader of the Liberal party of that
island. ,

LONDON, Feb. 20.-When Japan
gained her diplomatic victory over
Russia by the treaty of Portsmouth,
she proved to Theodore Roosevelt,
and should have proved to the Amer

were at least the equal of her West
ern rivals.
when the rival diplomats met at
Portsmouth, the Japanese came as
conquerors in the eyes of the world
and the Russians as conquered
In reality the position was re-
versed. Japan was practically bank

on the war much longer. This was

OLD HORSESHOER
AT TOURNAMENT
Used to Play Tunes ON Anvil when
ShOeing Chicago Newspaper
Horses.

HANILINE. MINI, Sept. 1O.-Chicago' 5
horseshoer-poet, NJ +. Buckley, is one of
the most interested attendants at the
tournament of the National Horse Shoe
Pitchers association, held here during the
Minnesota state fair.
For many years before the automobile
truck came in, Buckley shOd the horses
of the Chicago newspapers, which had to
be well cared for to rush the papers to
train and lake steamer.
The big horseshoer has a strong sense
of rhythm which in those days, before he
laid aside the hammer for the pen, mani
tested itself at the anvil. While making
the shoes, he used to play popular tunes
with hammer and sledge. Often while
passing Buckley's shop Chicagoans heard
the Star Spangled Banner resounding
from his anvil.
With this sense of harmony a deep sem
timent united in the hOrseshoer, which
has led him in recent years to devote him
self largely to poetry. His verse pays
frequent tribute to the horse and to the
honorable trade of horseshoeing. 1t was
his interest in the good old game of horse
shoes that brought him here.
