SEE DECISIVE

fRv the Associated Press

Washington, July 25.-A growing
impression that the administration
was rapidly approaching point IN
it's attitude toward the rail strike
where decisive move to arrest the
resulting breakdown in transportation
might be looked for, raised some ex-
pectation of important developments
at today's cabinet meeting. Pres
ident Harding who was declared by
cabinet members prior to the meet
ing to be in personal charge of the
question is understood TO have re"
ceived the opinion from some OF his
advisers that the government can
t'ermit the disruption Of transporta-
ton to go nor further. There was
no indication Of tho manner in which
the transportation crisis might be
laid before the cabinet sessionsR;,.,
{ With reports indicating the
strongly repressive effect Of the
strike on the nations business re-
vival some administration advisers
are known to hold the view that the
railroad executives should be called
upon to make every effort to restore
interstate commerce. They believe
the roads should even abandon, if ne
cessary, their stand against restor-
alton of seniority rights to striking
shopmen, demanded by them among
other conditions precedent to re-
supmtion of work and now forming
it is said, the crux of the whole
strike question.
Should the railroad executives re-
fuse, there was said to be no doubt
of the presidents authority to take
over operation Of the roads as a
final resort either under, the Esch-
Cummins act specifically or the gen.
eral powers conferred in the consti-
tuition. There is, however, little dis
position in government circles to
consider meeting the situation by
such drastic measures, and further,
the broad powers of transportation
control vested under the transporta-
ton act in the Interstate Commerce
Commission were cited as making
such q step unnecessary,
