impression prevailed that action OF
legislation empowering the execu-
tive TO take the anthracite mines and
some rail lines would be delayed.
1t was pointed out that. President
Harding stated last week the legis-
lation would not be pushed II set
tlement Of the anthracite strike was
probable early this week.
There was no information made
public as to the basis of the con-
fdence that the anthracite strike
soon would be ended but It Is believ-
ed that Senator Pepper and Secre-
tary of Labor Davis who have been
endeavoring to bring the two fac
tions together. have forwarded op-
timistic assurances to the President.
Realizing that because OF the BIZ
luminous settlement and the proba-
bility of hard coal agreement the
problem will be transportation, the
administration. 1t was officially stat
ed, plans to concentrate its energy
and effort toward the direction of
transportation in the hope that all
the coal mined can be promptly
moved.
This whole situation was gone
over in detail on the Mayflower over
the weekend in a conference be-
tween the President and Secretaries,
Hoover. Fall and Daugherty. SEN
ators Cummins and kellogg and
Chairman Lasker, OF the Shipping
Board.
Steps will be taken through the
l. c. c., to insure that the coal stor-
ed In various sections of the coun-
try can be moved quickly to places
where it is needed. Coal and other
fuel will be given priority over every
other commodity except food, It was
stated.
1t may even be necessary to cut
down postal service and other lines
of railroad carrying service in order
that coal may be carried TO the peo-
pie of the country this winter.
Powerful pressure is being exert
ed on President Harding TO refrain
from interfering in the railroad
strike until the railroad executives
have ample opportunity to demon
strate whether they can maintain
adequate transportation.
Spokesman for the railroad ex-
ecutives have let It be known TO (
administration leaders that they feel
confident of winning the battle II |
the government maintains a hands
off policy.
The railroad executives repre-
sented by the "irreconcilable" East
ern group believe that they can pro-
cure enough men to keep their roll
Ing stock in condition to furnish ef-
hcient service and therefore are op-
posed to surrendering on seniority

Daughter Cause of
Attack
FACCIOLO is
FINED $50

Because Dominick. DeMasi had
eloped with his 14-year-old daughter
''to spite him. and because he treat
ed her abusively yesterday, was the
reason given by James Fac
ciolo, in Municipal Court this
morning, for attacking his son-in-
law with a chair leg at their home,
S33 West Second street. last night.
Facciolo admitted that he ham
mered DeMasi with the chair leg,
but denied that he cut him with
knife. DeMasi told the court that
he was sorry" for his father-in-
law as he has three small children
to support. Deputy Judge Lynn
fined the defendant $50 and costs.
DeMasl, when he appeared in
court today had his head profusely
bandaged and was covered with
blood stains. He said that nine
stitches were required to close the
wounds inflicted on him by Facciolo.
The complainant testified that,
while sitting inside the house last
night, he heard his father in law talk
ing against him to Mrs. DeMasi. He
said that he called to his wife to
come into the house and that then
his father-in-law came in and at
tackled him..
Facciolo said that DeMasi first
seized him by the throat. When ask
ed by the court II he had any wit
nesses, the defendant said, "All
Wilmington can testify" referring
to the large number of persons who
gathered about the house at the
time of the assault.

In the meantime Federal author
tiles were trying TO link recent out
breaks-attempts to wreck trains

lence-with the activity of radicals
working among the striking shop
men.
Federal authorities declared they
had information to indicate that
"reds" had been active both at Gary
where the Michigan Centrars mil
lion dollar express" was wrecked
and at Roodhouse, Ills, where the
Chicago and Alton was tied up by a
walkout of trainmen.
W. G. Lee, president of the Rail-
road Trainmen, has threatened to
revoke the charter of his men at
Roodhouse, unless they return to
work Immediately.
Ten men were held today in con-
nection with the Gary wreck, ac-
cording to police.
Charles Huzolis confessed that he
with three companions pulled the
spikes that sent the Million Dollar
Express" into a ditch. according to
Chief OF Detectives Mike Hughes.
The ten were arrested here
and later taken to Gary, where they
are being held pending further in ,
vestigation. All four were mem
bers of the shop crafts union, police
said.
Plans to bomb shops and sleep
ing quarters of non-union men and |
for the wrecking of a New York !
Central train were revealed by Huzo-
lis. Hughes said.
The men absolved the union from |
all blame. The reign of terror,
they said. according to Hughes, was
fostered by a small band of radicals |
who were active in spreading the
doctrines of soviet Russia among
the workers.
Huzolis was taken by police to
the scene of the wreck and de-
scribed in detail how the spikes
were pulled which sent the fast ex-
press into the ditch.

LATE SHOPPERS

Fire of undetermined origin prac-

in the store of Morris Falbaum, 512
King street, shortly after midnight,
Saturday. causing loss of $4,000,
on the stock and $500 on the build

The fire seemingly had gained
considerable headway before its dis

store, who were preparing to close,
had little time to make their escape
before the dense smoke drove them
from the building.
The origin of the fire is being in
vestigated by Fire Marshal Ainscow
and staff.
The fire caused much excitement
as the streets were still filled with
late shoppers. Mrs. Falbaum
tainted and had to be carried TO her
home at Eighth and Church streets,

The arguments against the bill
have been rather more definite and
substantial. Democratic as well as
Republican Senators have opposed
it on grounds which they hold to be
moral and patriotic as well as wisely
economic. The debate itself has at
tracted popular attention for several
reasons. One is that the proponents
of the bonus are anxious to get it
out of the way as soon as possible
and have confined themselves to the
of sentimental features
in the controversy.
The unanimous agreement. which
was reached yesterday, was inspired
by completely reliable information
from the White House that the
measure would be vetoed. Conse- !
luently the nlibuster originally de-
cided on was called off.
The measure will be supported in
the closing debate by Mr. McCumber. !

Perhaps the most telling blow
truck at the American Legion,
which is urging the bonus, was de-
ivered by Senator David A. Reed,
'ecently appointed to represent
pennsylvania. Major Reed render
d distinguished service on French
'attlefelds. In a speech delivered
n the Senate six days after taking
lis seat he expressed his sympathy
or the needs of the soldiers element,
ut declared he could not sanction
he demands for a bonus in the
resent financial and economic con-
ition OF the country. He also de-
Jared he would vote against the bill

President Harding relieved the
mind of another per-
lexity the other day when he con-

There is still muc. speculation as
to the probable nominee for men,
