address to Congress IN which he
recommended specific legislation
aimed to cure the nations indus
trial ills, declared with emphasis
"that the right OF employers and
employees alike to establish their
methods of conducting their bus
mess, to choose their employment,
and to determine their relations
with each other must be recogniz-
ed"
Government by law must and
will be sustained the president
said, "no matter what cloud storms
gather; no matter what storms
may ensue; no matter what hard
ships may attend or what sacrifice
may be necessary. Stating that
sympathetic railroad strike had
developed and imapired interstate
commerce seriously the President
said that trains deserted in the
desert chad revealed the cruelty
and contempt for law on the part
of some railroad employees who
had conspired TO paralyze railroad
trains"
Asserting that the striking un-
ions did not hold their forces to
law observance, Mr.. Harding said,
"There is a state of lawlessness
shocking every conception of Am
erican law and order" and amounc-
ed his intention to invoke laws civil
and criminal forbidding conspir-
acies hindering transportation and
recurring safety in railroad service.
In declaring positively for the
right of men to work, the president
said that, "in both the coal and
railroad strikes this right had been
denied by assault and violence" and
in some cases winked at by local
authorities.
He added, "the great mass of or
ganized workmen do not approve
but they seem helpless to hinder.
These conditions cannot remain in
free America. Surely the threaten
ing conditions must impress the
Congress and country" The presi-
dent went on that "No body Of men

operations shall be permitted to
choose a course which so imperils
public welfare"
Stating that the Esch-Cummin.
bill in establishing the Railroad
Labor Board was inadequate being
with little or no power to enforce
its decisions the president recon-
mended actions to make the boards
decision "enforceable against car
ricrs and employees alike"
Other legislations recommended
were for better protection of aliens
and enforcement of their treaty
rights and a measure to give fed
eral court jurisdiction in protec-
tion Of aliens.
In discussing the coal situation
the president referred to what he
termed, "the shocking crime at

ty OF fourteen girls in knickers
from Charlotte Farnsworth's sum
mer camp at Thetford Hill, Camp
Hanoum, with their camp council
lors, dropped off the early morn

possession of the four laroe bright
red canoes that had been sent
ahead of them from camp.
The capture was made without
the burning of a bit of powder, in
fact not a powder puff was seen.
On the other nand no white feath-
