HARDING DRIVE
FOR NORMALLY
IN FULL SWING
Administrators Effort to Cut
Expenses Meets Prob
lens.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Hard
ing Administrator drive to force Its
household expenses back TO nOrmalcy Is
In full swing today
Steps taken thus far in the economy
campaign which is Just starting, accord
ing to Administration officials, are:
l. Instructions to Cabinet members
that they must stop the practice Of
overstepping congressional appropri-
ations and turning in deficiency re-
quests to cover the exeesses.
2 Appointment Of Walter f. Brown
to represent the President in map
ping out a reorganization of execu-
tive departments on an economy
basis.
s. Ordering Of a survey of waste
full practices in leasing private build
iags for Government use.
A careful study of the financial con
dition Of the Government by Secre
tary Of the Treasury Mellon has failed
to give much hope of material reduction
in tax burdens except as leaks in the
every day operations Of Government ma
chinery can be plugged and for this
reason the new Administration Is laying
especially heavy emphasis on the econ
omy program.
The investigation of waste in the leas-
ing Of private buildings grew out of dis
coveries made by Postmaster General
Hays, who believes that millions of dol
lars are being unnecessarily expended
in this way. In many cities Federal Of
ficers and branch officers Of Governmeni
commissions are occupying elaborate
suites in high priced Office buildings
where more modest but ample accommo-
dations could be had.

FIGHTING CENTERS
IN FOUR VILLAGES

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, May 4.-Indi-
tions that today would be big day
In the Industrial war along the Mingo-
Pike border have been fully borne out by
information which has reached Sheriff
A. c. Pinson by telephone and messenger
from Merrimac, Sprigs, New Howard
and Matewan.
At Merrimac an attacking force de-
scended from the Kentucky mountain re
gion, firing into the village at close
range. Roofs are being shot from the
houses at Sprigg. Sheriff Pinson is in
formed
At this point attacking forces also
have advanced TO vantage points close up
Every house in New Howard is bullet
riddled, telephone reports stated:
Military secrecy is being observed
about a special train which left william
son at 10 45 a. m. carrying all available
officers will be distributed at harassed
that relief Of the residents of New
Howard will be attempted. AS on former
days Of the battle, the sharpest fighting
IS in progress at Blackberry City and
Allburn
No action is possible there by the Of
ficers, because they would be caught be-
tween the two fires.
Authorities declare a crisis is about to
be reached and that unless Federal troops
arrive speedily hand TO hand fighting

parties will cross the river at MerrimaC
