By Associated Press

Chicago, July 10.-With increasing numbers of state troops and emer- gency forces of United States deputy marshals on guard wherever out breaks have been threatened, the today announced that life and property would be protected, the mails continued and interstate com merce not interrupted despite the strike of railway shopmen.
 After n conference with Pres-
 ident Harding, Attorney General

 ment would make sure that law
 and order were preserved. He
 said that the appointment of
 deputy mRrshaIs was authorized

 fled.
 The Attorney General announce ment came shortly after Lieutenant Governor Sterling, who is acting governor of Illinois. in the absence of Governor Small. had ordered five companies of national guardsmen to Bloomington to protect the shops of the Chicago and Alton railroad.

.LADD EMBRACES FORD OFFER FOR
 MUSCLE SHOALS
Southern and Western Sena- tors May Enter Into CoaIl- ton to Force Accep-
 tance of Bid
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-Herald,
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington, July 10.-(Special.)-- Senator Ladd of North Dakota, today formally embraced the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals He Is a member of the committee on agricul- lure, which is considering the va rious offers. His action is taken by some observers to indicate coali- tion between western and southern senators in support of Ford.
 Senator Ladd, broke a long si- lence to explain that his action last Saturday in introducing a bill pro- viding for the acceptance of the Ford offer was not taken for the exclu- sive purpose of getting the propo- sition before the Senate.
 1t had been published that his ac- tion did not necessarily mean that he would support the Ford bid.
 statement CommittaI
 While not enthusiastic, his state ment is regarded as committal.
 He said: "i belive Ford in his re- yised offer has met all objections previously made to it, with the single exception of the hundred year lease. l think can say that l am favor able to it in its present form"
 The hundred year lease seems to be the barrier on which senators can not pass just as the Gorgas steam plant was the main handicap in the House committee.
 Another republican member cf the Senate committee, Senator Harold of Oklahoma, said today: T will probably vote for the Ford offer II the lease period is reduced from 1oO to 50 years. I think the revised con tract contains a satisfactory fertil- izer guarantee.'
 The committee will meet Thursday night to hear the bidders for Muscle Shoals provided they are willing fur ther to amend their efforts. Repre- sentatives of all bidders will attend the meeting, but it is not anticipated that changes in any offer will be authorized.
 It is not regarded as probable that final action will be taken al the meeting.
