Orders for this mobilization and for

with Governor Choup.
my orders from the governor are

Two Railroad Bridges Burned
The principal outbreaks occurred
near WaIsenburg, in Huerfano coun-
ty. Two railroad bridges, one near
the Ideal mine Of the Colorado Fuel

the Rouse mine of the same company,

HARDING TO DISH OUT PLAIN
TALK TO WARRIORS.
President to Warn Miners and Strik
ers That Teup Must Be Set
tied at Once.

Washington, July l.-Evidences
multiply that President Harding and
his cabinet advisers are going to hand
out some exceedingly 'pain talk" to
the operators and miners when they
gather at the White House today to
discuss methods of ending the three
months strike which has brought the
country to the verge of a coal famine
and industrial paralysis.
At the Presidents elbow when he
talks with the combatant groups will
be four members of the cabinet-Sec-
rotary of Commerce Hoover, Secretary
of Labor Davis, Attorney General
Daugherty and Secretary Of the In
terror Fail, according to present plans.
Hoover is regarded as representing
the operators, Davis the miners, and
Daugherty's presence intended as a
sort of government guarantee against
possible indictment of either side for
collaboration" while Fall is regarded
as a cabinet neutral whose presence
is desirable because of the extensive
mining interests that come under his
department.
The President is expected to frank
~ warn the operators and miners, but
principally the operators, that their
present methods of conducting the
coal business constitute direct mem
ace to the public interest and unless
there are remedial changes the gov
eminent unwillingly will be forced to
consider the problem of protecting IT.

measures seem best suited.

BIG DEFICIT is SEEN
U. S. OUTGO OF 1928 WILL Elk.
SEED INCOME.
Treasury Official Says Total Gross
Debt for 1922 Is $22,950,-
100000.

Washington, July 1.-The govern
ment balanced its budget for the fiscal
year ended June 30. Under-secretary Of
the Treasury Gilbert declared the
prospects for the fiscal year 1923 open
ing today are not good with a
budget deficit estimated as high as
S4S5, 100000.
Mr.. Gilbert declared expenditures
for the closing year would be less than
$3,9OO0OO,OOO, or $5000000O0 less
than was estimated as necessary at
the outset Of the year, and that there
would be a small surplus.
As to the coming year, the under
secretary pointed to the possibility Of
a deficit greater than already estimat-
ed, as appropriations for next year
have not yet been passed by congress.
Discussing the handling Of the pub
lie debt during 1922, Mr. Gilbert said
the total gross debt was S22,95ONO,
GOO, a reduction of more than $1,000
100000 since its peak on August 81,
1919
For the future, he asserted, liquida-
ton of the public debt will have to be
accomplished chiefly from surplus rev
enue receipts, as the treasury balance
has been reduced to as low figure
as is consistent with proper conduct
of government business.
Mr.. Gilbert said success Of the
treasurys plans for refundng the ST.
5OO,OOO,O0O short-dated debt, consist
ing of Victory notes maturing in May,
1923, treasury certificates of indebted
ness and War Savings certificates was
