.HARD|NG FIRM
|. FOR SOLUTION
Of COAL CRISIS
President Coming Back Intent
On Ending Warfare Be-
tween Coal Interests.
BY GEORGE n. HOLMES.
international News Service.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. July Ills
vacation ended, President Harding
left Columbus this morning by
motor for Washington and to try
again to get the coal miners and
operators, now dsadlocked. to start
producing coal in the face Of an al
most certain famine.
President Harding. so far as can
be learned, has no hard and fast pro-
gram to suggest to the warning fac
tions in the coal industry next Mon.
day. He IL determined. however.
that the production of coal shall be
resumed as soon as possible and in
time to stave off public suffering.
and the Administrators every ef.
fort will be devoted to that end next
week.
The President would rather the
miners and the operators start pro-
ducing Goa, peaceably. under q
mutual agreement, but II they per-
sist in their deadlock over terms,
those with whom the President has
discussed the problem this week de-
clared today the Chief Executive
will not hesitate to make good his
implied threat OF Government seizure
and operation. He has already been
assured Of Congressional support In
such a move, II was said.
That a sterner attitude on the
part of the Administration will be
apparent next week is regarded as
very certain. From a state of being
merely SERIOUS" the coal strike
now has assumed proportions that
are better described as "menacing."
and the President In convinced that
the time for temporizing has passed.
Attorney General Daugherty who
discussed the coal strike with the
Chief Executive yesterday and TO-
day, Is OF the same opinion.
The Presidential party left Co
lumbus early this morning. The
first stop will be made at New
Concord, Ohio. the seat Of Muskin'
gum College, where the President
will remain Just long enough to
receive O degree from the institu
ton. Then the party will resume
the eastward journey in hopes OF
making Uniontown. Pa. for the
night.
The size OF the White House
party was reduced here. Gen. John
J. Pershing left by motor for
Washington ahead Of the Presiden,
and Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Charles
G. Dawes left for Chicago by train
today.
Attorney General Daugherty will
not return to Washington with the
Hardings. He said he would re
turn by train either today or to
morrow. He will be In Washing
ton by the time the President ar
rives.
President Harding's only public
reference to politics in his home
State, which is boiling just nov
with the Ohio primaries only -four
weeks away. was an appeal for q

bration Of the Columbus Glee Club

pointedly, ''is devoted to music

life and in our party today is that

International News Service.

The recent decision Of the Mexican
Supreme Court definitely and com.
pletely establishes the fact that
Article 81 Of the Mexican Constltu.
ton cannot be given a retroactive or
confiscatory effect, according 10 an
official announcement from the Mex.

the Mexican embassy here today.
The opinion rendered May IL being
the fifth of this nature, the state-
ment continues, a "juridic basis" has
been established. which shall serve
In the future as a basis for interpre-

For nearly two months the State
Department has awaited the text OF
this Supreme Court decision. Off.
cials freely admit 1t may have an
important effect upon future rela'
tions between Mexico and the Uni
ted States. and particularly upon
the question Of recognition Of the

opportunity to study carefully the
exact nature and scope of the Gecis.

about a resumption of diplomatic
relations.
Remove Obstacles.
Should the decision prove as COM
prehensive and definite as the Mex.
lean foreign office statement would
Indicate. there is little doubt that
the greatest obstacle to recognition
will have been removed.
In various communications ex:
changed with the obregon govern
ment, Secretary OF State Hughes
has made 1t plain there can be no
recognition of the Mexican govern
ment until adequate guarantees are
given that American rights, legiti.
mately acquired, will be respected,
and has indicated that until com.
petent authority has spoken to the
contrary, Article 81 Of the Consti-
tuition Of 1917, must be regarded as
menacing such interests. The Mexi.
can supreme court is admittedly
such a competent authority.
The foreign office statement today
is under the caption, Article 81 of
the Constitution has no retroactive
effect"

COAL WARFARE
Harding Expected to Take
Summary Action as Short

BY WEBSTER X. NOLAN,
Interna tionaI News Service.

With big industries in many parts
Of the country running head.long
into a coal shortage resulting from
the mine strike. Cabinet officials
predicted today that President Hard.
ing would lose no time upon his re-
turn to Washington to take drastic
steps leading to 'an immediate re-
sumption Of mining operations.
Reports to the Department OF
Commerce describe severe fuel short.
ages in New England and the North
west. while from other sections
comes information which convinces
those in touch with the industrial
situation that II will be necessary
for the Federal Government to step
into the breach between the operat-
ors and miners with more force than
end the strike.
One member Of the Cabinet said
President Harding would have a
new offer to make to the bituminous
section OF the national coal confer
ence when II resumed its delibera.
tions on Monday, but he declined to-
day to disclose the terms Of this
proposal.
1t was pointed out, however, in
Administration and Congressional
circles that there are only two ways
to end the strike now open to the
Government These are: ~ Arbi-
tration, or (2) the taking over Of the
mines.
Miners Are Confident.
Representatives Of the striking
miners were confident today that
any plan devised by the Government
for reopening the mines would ade-
quately take care Of their interests.
While the miners continued in.
formal conversations with respect to
the Government strikeending et-
forts, the anthracite operators AMI
miners again went into secret ses-
sion to resume there still unfruitful
wage negotiations.

is representing the President in the
hard coal negotiations, believes the
two groups in this controversy are
not as far apart as they imagine,

This Government will in all prob

stated today.
Great Britain recently suggested
that leading Christian nations joint

and the United States, France and
Italy agreed. II developed today.
however, that the British govern
ment has made no move to inform
the Kemalists of the decision.
Great Britain"s failure to act Is
believed here to be due to the fact
that General Kemal would refuse

Three days is about the limit.
That is, three days marks about the
length Of time when the crowd will en-

After that they view them witramusa-

they are given thirty days.
Benjamin Franklin was permitted to
keep his last crop Of laurels longer
than most statues. Although it was
by reason Of his very many iIlustri-
