both in and out of Congress, centered
their efforts instead on less drastic
measures to meet the industrial emer-
gency With the return to Washing
ton of President Harding, after con-
ference with some of his principal ad-
vlsers on board the yacht Mayflower,
it became apparent that no steps to-
ward government operation was to be-
come part of the present administra-
tion program.
Not only was it revealed that the
President himself was not disposed
definitely to ask for congressional au-
thority to take over the properties In
volved In the strike situation, but 1t
was made known also that an influen-
tial group of leaders in the Senate and
House had taken position which
would make passage of the authorizing
legislation extremely difficult.
Meantime, committees in b o n
branches of Congress reported out, for
passage later, bills recommended by
the administration to strengthen its
hand in controlling coal distribution
by creating federal distributing
agency and by giving to the Interstate
Commerce Commission broader powers
over priority of shipments.
In the Senate, committee action was
taken after only II short discussion
and with members reserving the right
to debate the measure at length on the
Senate floor The House committee
did not vote It's approval until 1t had
heard arguments for the measure by
Secretary Hoover and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner AitchisOn and
some sharp criticism of its prlce-fixing
potentialities from representatives OF
both employers and labor in the in
dustry.
notwithstanding the opposition indi-
uted. President Harding was in
'ormed by Republican Leader Mondell
that the distribution measure would be
,rought into the House and passed
ioon.
No such quick action was in pros
rect in the Senate, where the legisla-
i've situation was more complicated,
but the leaders predicted that there
yould be favorable action without
much delay. Several cabinet members,
senators and other officials, including
Secretary Hoover, Attorney General
Daugherty and Chairman Cummins of
the Senate Interstate commerce COM
mittee, accompanied President Hard
ing on the Mayflower trip and are un-
derstoOd to have taken part in a pro-
longed round-table discussion of ad-
ministrutive policies. 1t was said that
| opinion among the chief executives
| advisers was divided on the subject
of government operation, but that in
the end Mr.. Harding Indicated he
would exert no pressure for Legislation
authorizing such step.
AS viewed by the Mayflower con-
ferees, the coal strike situation, both
anthracite and bituminous, appeared
in way to solve itself and insure in
creased production in the very near
future, leaving the problem of moving
the product to the consumer as the
crux of the whole effort to restore in
dustrial stability.

PRESS BROKEN

Last Thursday afternoon the
press on which the Independent
is printed was broken before we
had the edition run off. and it
was necessary to take the broken
parts to Jackson to get them re-
paired, and on Saturday we finish
ed the printing of the edition.
This necessarily made about 300
Independents get to its readers
late.
Halle Hamm. with j. R. Gooch
& Son, an expert mechanic, dis
mantied the press and carried
the parts to Jackson, saw that
they were repaired. brought them
back and set the press up again,
and the said press is doing better
work than ever. For us this was
a very expensive break down. and
had it not been for Mr.. Hamm's
knowledge Of machinery, we
could not have gotten this press
rigged up again. There isn't a
better mechanic anywhere than
Halle Hann, and you can always
rely on what he says about most
, any kind of machinery, and he
never quits a job until it is com
pleted. We are very grateful to
him for the service rendered, and
the reason of the delay in getting
the paper to you is as above stated.
