END STRIKE, PRESIDENT DESTROYS HAVING
HOUSE RECONvIENE TUESDAY
INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS SERIOUS
Unless Settled Within Short Time Transportation May
Become Badly DemOralzed

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Faced
with probable rejection Of his latest
rail strike settlement proposal by the
striking railway shopmen and with
a reply from the executives as yet un-
certain, President Harding today let
it be known that he is desirous OF
having the House reconvene next
Tuesday prepared to enact any legis-
lation which might be deemed advis-
able in connection with the industrial
situation.
The president, it was said at the
White House, has informed the House
leaders that he is opposed to any pro-
gram of three-day recesses such as
has been contemplated. He had sug-
gested to the leaders, it was further
stated, that instead of marking time
with a handful of members present,
after the House reconvenes next
Tuesday, that a full membership be
on hand so that Congress might 1unc-
ton in case any legislation is needed
to carry out the administrations pro-
gram with respect to the coal and rail
road situations.
"There is no Disgusting the serious.
ness of the present coal situation anC
perhaps the seriousness of the rail
road situation" an administration
spokesman said in making known th'
presidents desires.
White House officials did not dis
close, however, what legislation nigh
be requested Of Congress.
The general industrial situation wa
discussed at length by President Hard
ing today with his advisers, the Tues
day cabinet meeting lasting tw
hours.

thousands in the city each day, with
attendance much larger than the pre-

people occupied the grand stand and
bleachers during the four days, COM
