 RESUME AT ONCE

phers were suddenly called into the conference room, giving hint that personal relations between the con- ferees were cordial.
 few minutes later the oil men filed out of the chamber, but, main tained their policy of silence. They said Secretary De La Huera had been appointed the official and sole spokes man. The secretary later admitted that an agreement had been reached and that it lacked only the Presidents signature to make it official. The secretary left immediately for Che pultepec castle and within an hour he was joined by the oil men, who called to pay their final respects to President Obregon. Formal announce ment of the successful termination of the conference was, delayed until after midnight.
 oil Men well Pleased
 The oil men declined to give out a formal statement, but in casual con- versation they indicated they were pleased with the conference. Later they said they had nothing to add to Secretary De La Huerta's statement They were unanimous in expressing themselves delighted with the man. ner in which the discussions were con- QuCIGQ dnu were eSpcSidily tic intheir praise of Secretary De Id Huerta Article 27 of the Mexican constitution. which nationalizes oil did not come up in the discussion, as this subject was considered purely diplomatic matter to be taken up by the American and Mexican state de- partments.
 The statements of President Ob- regon, Senor De la Huerta and the oil men failed to give details of tax agreements other than new arrange ments for payment had been made. It Is understood here, however, that the ed valorem basis fixed with the Mexican decree of June is abro- gated.
 Reports received here from Tam pico said that the city, which has been in the doldroms throughout the entire critical period of the oil controversy. was the scene Saturday night of impromptu celebrations when news was received of the set dement, According to Walter c. Teagle, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey several oil tankers which have been anchored in Tampico for weeks will begin load ing tomorrow.

MONEY TRANSFER

City SujerintendcGt W. R. slagle of the Western Union Telegraph com pany announces an arrangement, eff fective as of September ,, whereby cabled money transfers to Italy will be paid in American funds at the op- ton of the sender. In other words, If, say $100 Is cabied via Western Union to Naples. the amount will be paid at destination either in United States currency or Tn lire. accordins to the choice of the remitter.
 The particular value of this ar rangement. officials of the company say, is that 1t eliminates all ques- tions of exchange and places the payee in a position to take fuli ad- vantage of the premium on American currency. It also involves refund of the full amount deposited in the case of nonpayment, which is another great advantage in the case of a depreciated and declining foreign cur rency.

away from Washington by July 15. But Congress stands recessed today nearly five months after the opening of the session, with the main tasks still before the Senate and lit tie chance that anything deNinite in the way of tax and tariff legisla- i tion will be accomplished before the snow flies.
 Going into the White House with an almost sacred regard for the three constitutional branches of the gov ernment. and determined that he would not interfere" with the legis- 1ative branch in any way, President Harding has found 1t necessary sev- eral times to set Congress on the right path, and has had continuous trouble in keeping it there.
 One lasting impression left by MT. Harding six months in the presi- dency is the modesty of the man. The chief magistracy of the nation has been a sAries of surprises to him. At simes he has been quite appalled, as the manifold duties and responsibili- ties of the executive have unfolded themselves to him.
 Speaks From Heart
 Only this week, however, the Pres sdent has expressed what was in his HledTL anu Nldl He USicNcS io pc III the heart of most of the American people.

 While it is true that the country has at last definitely set out on the long uphill climb to normal con ditions,'' the statement said, "is would be mistake to imbue the fig 't~es with a significance not strictly 1T, accordance with the facts. It must be borne in mind that the improve ment can be traced in great measure to the vast agricultural activities and that as yet the major manufac- turing, mining and transportation interests have given less conclusive evidence of the value and perma- nency Of such small gains as they may have experienced.
 "A happy augury is the very gen eral increase in building operations, the survey showing that present ac- tivities in this line are greater than at any time since the nation entered the war"

 INDUSTRY OF SOUTH IS FAST IMPROVING
(ContInued from Page one)

Tennessee: Improvement has been noted in the building trades: other wise there has. beep little change.
 Ldmber / manufacturers at Mem- phis report that no mills are being opened permanently. a few are run ming for short time for the purpose of cutting logs on hand and then closing down. Women and girls in factories and working as wrappers In chemical houses have been lad off. Industries are quiet. Employment in the building trades at Nashville has largely increased and there has been slight increase in railroad occupa- tions. 4
 Increased Activity
 Alabama-As nearly as can be as certained. 1000 of the 4.59S coal min CTS released from the mines since the first of the year have gone to other fields. Iron and steel are at d stand still and there is little activity in lumber Although there are several thousand unempoyed in the Birming- ham district, labor conditions have shown improvement. Building per mits have increased; a large concern at Fairfield has reopened; iron prod ucts concerns are showing increased activity and the Birmingham Steel CUT lS llldhlHS to resume the fabrication of structur- al steel. Pig iron furnaces are still closed.
 Unemployment is great in all lines at Mobile.
 ssissippi-Building trades have provided employment for a large number; otherwise there is little change in the situation. Lumber is operating full time. Retail trade is about normal. There is shortage of homes. Unemployment Is greatest among unskilled labor.
 I.ouisiana-The industrial situation is unimproved and large unemploy- ment continues in lumber many mills being closed, oil. cottonseed products and building trades. The depression in oil has been reflected in machin- cry and metal plants which furnish oilfield supplies. Jobbing and retail ing are reported to be steady. Hous- ing shortage continues Conditions are expected to improve materially in the cotton and rice growing sec tions when crops are marketed. Op- timism prevails and the general at titude Is hopeful.
 Arkansas - Large un unemployment continues in lumber, smelters, coal, glass and cottonseed products. The suspension of operations of one rail road has increased the number of un- employed. Railroad repair shops furniture and overall factories are more active. Building trades are busy with many small buildings under construction. Jobbing and retailing are holding up; some retailers report ing sales in excess of 1920. Business men are optimistic and anticipate i'm proved conditions during the fall.

Presidents policy in giving to the members of his cabinet the greatest possible authority ib their respective departments. Mir Harding believes strongly in teamplay.
 But Congress has not been playing the game with the President. The President wanted tax legislation be- fore the permanent tariff bill was taken up Perhaps, he did not assert himself strongly enough at first. but as already stated, he was reluctant 10 appear In the role of dictator 10 the Legislative branch The House delayed the entire legislative pro- sramme by taking up the tariff first. The Senate will reverse the order. put the damage of great delay al- ready Is done.
 The President wanted Congress to pass the bill giving relief to the railroads feeling that payment of ne railroad claims at this time woull throw millions of dollars into ln- dIstry and start the wheels of in- dustrial rehabilitation. The present recess found the bill still in the Ser ate.
 The President wanted the bill for the refunding of the allied debt to pass quickly, hoping that 1t might nave reviving effect upon our lost foreign trade. But nothing definite has been accomplished, The Presl- dent has had to assert himself ue- fore Congress and will have to do SO again
 One cf the early achievements of the administration, however, was ac- complished with the help of the Senate This was the ratification of the Colombian treaty which had been held up for so many long years The Gidapt ,J faculties in the Senate in speedy fash ion.
 Another Treaty
 AS to another treaty it will be for history to say whetre or not the German American pact just signed at Berlin has been an achievement There has never been another treaty lik it---a treaty so dependent upon another treaty already repudiated by the United States Senate. An adroit handling of delicate situation is one official explanation of the treaty.
 The President has made brave fight for government economy and for departmental reforms. In doing so he has gone up against "the sy5- tenn" and the battle is not proving an easy one by any means.
 Personally, as President, Mir. liar l. ing has been gracious and amabIe to marke degree. He had permit ted himself to be imposed upon st times. but he has believed that the President belongs to the peopl and should mingl with them as much as possible. He has good naturedlv allowed himself to be photographic time without number, not through any enjoyment of tn process on his part. but because he has felt he was adding something to the pleasure of those privileged to be in the picture with him. The opening of the White House grounds was not play for but another act the Pres ident felt would give some bit ot] pleasure to the thousands who come to Washington every year.
