ADMINISTRATION PLANS ONE OF
THE MOST DRASTIC MOVES
EVER MADE.
SAY AUTHORITY IS AMPLE.
President viii Demand That Miners
and Operators Submit to Boards
Authority-WilI Open Mines si.
Immediately, Is Hope.

Washington.-The appointment of a
federal commission to deal with the
industries in the coal strike, coupled
with demand that miners and opera
tors submit to its authority and that
the miners return to work pending the
outcome of the deliberations, was
forecast when telegraphic correspond
ence between President Harding and
Gov. William C. Sproul was made pub
lie at the White House.
The president indicated that such a
commission would be comprised solely
Of representatives of the American
public and would be vested with ex-
tensive authority. The original COM
mission proposed by the president
would have been composed of three
representatives of the operators, three
of the miners and five representing
the public.
The administration has moved ahead
with plans to carry out its determine
ton that the nation shall have coal.
In doing SO it came face to face with
the necessity for dealing more effect
lively with the railroad situation, par.
ticularly in view of the collapse of the
railroad labor boards efforts to end
the shopmen's walkout. The coal and
rail strikes drifted into an interlock-
ing relationship and administration Of

Coal shortages are growing acute in
some places and are beginning to af-
feet railroad operations. On the other
hand, train service is being crippled to
such an extent as to retard movement
Of coal from nonunion fields This sit
nation will be the chief topic of dis
cussion at the cabinet meeting, after
which the president is expected to
make a move to end the rail strike.
Attorney General Daugherty an
nounced the department of justice is
observing the developments in the
coal and railway strike situations to
ascertain whether or not there is any
illegal connection between the two
strikes. 1t was indicated that IL evil
dence establishing conspiracy be-
tween leaders of the two groups Of
strikers were obtained, prosecution
would be instituted by the govern
ment. @ss-
No evidence has been obtained thus
far to Justify the conclusion that con-
spiraey to restrain interstate COM

charges have been lodged to that ef-

STATE EVENTS
TOLD IN BRIEF
THE HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK
RRIEFLYToLD For OUR
BUSY READERS.
TRUCK INDUSTRY GROWING
late Returns are not Encouraging as
Market was Crowded.

Crystal Springs.-Belated returns
from shipments of tomatoes made
since the 18th of June are beginning
to be received by shippers and brok-
ers and are anything but encouraging.
The returns show that in many cases
the stock sold for very low prices
and in some few instances it was sold
in the markets for charges.
One broker had the misfortune to
have shipment of several cars di-
verted form Mounds, ILL.,, to point
In the east to be returned to Mounds
and refused This condition Is large
ly due IL the fact that Tennessee
began shipping about the time this
late stuff was arriving in the markets
and forced down the Price.
A striking evidence OF what atten-
ton to tie business means in the
matter of bringing success may be
found in the phenomenal growth Of
the Truck Growers Association. This
association is organized all together
OF truck ia, Llers and their successful
haIoling of it has demonstrated that
after all Intelligent farmers can msn-
ase an organization as successfully AS
any other class of business mel. Tho
association organized in 1913 with
only 81 members. 1t began opera
tions in the fall of 1914 with 7S9 acres
planted to vegetables of all kinds.
That year proved what could be done
by cooperative shipments, as the net

Limerick-The free state forces,
whica captured Limerick last week,
outEumbered throughout the opera
tions. Seven hundred nationals were
engaged, While the irregular forces
reached at least 1000.
The battle zone involved the whole
center of the city, at points the COM
batans being less than 10 yards apart.
The fighting consisted mainly OF
rifle and bombing duels; each side
tunneled from house to house so that
entire streets were transformed into
miniature fortresses. The irregulars
occupied the strongest positions and
their defeat was due to the division of
their forces and the threatened encir-
clement of the irregulars, who were
obliged to evacuate In order to avoid
:he cutting off of their retreate to the
south.
The republicans set fire to all the
barracks by exploding mines. The
new barracks, great block of build

racks was destroyed with the excep-
tion OF the thirteenth century tower Of
King Johns Castle. One of the two
blocks comprising the ordnance bar
racks and the Frederick police bar
racks were also destroyed.
The civilian population suffered
acutely during the fighting; many
were made homeless and at times
there was grave menace of starva-
tion. Famine was averted by the free
state general, Brennan, who supplied
food to 10000 people.
Nothing definite is known about the
leaders of the irregular forces. ex.
cept that Liam Lynch, the so-called
chief of staff, who directed the opera
tions in the early stages, returned
to Clonmel. The irregulars were we'll
armed and had an immense supply of
high explosives. They fled hastily at
the end. destroying roads and bridges.

USE GERMAN PROPERTY TO SAT
IsFY CITIZENS, is LATEST
SUGGESTION.
UNDERWOOD FRAMES BILL
Provioss for Commission to Adjust
y Claims Of U. S, Citizens and Then
Use Effects Of Government
Before That Of Subjects.

Washington. bin to provide for
the payment of al American claims
against Germany has been introduced
bv Senator Underwood. Democrat. OF
Alabama. 1t is the first measure Of
the kind to be presented In congress.
1t makes final disposition Of all Ger
man effects taken over by the alien
property custodian in this country.
American claims are to be adjusted
by commission and. unless they are
otherwise satisfied. paid out of the
German property in accordance with
the provisions of the Versailles treaty
and the separate treaty of peace be-
tween the United States and Germany.
Senator Underwood's bill provides
for commission to be known as the
be composed of six commissioners to
be appointed by the president. 1t will
sit in Washington, have practically
all of the powers of United States
court to settle and determine all
claims against Germany and all claims
of German subjects for the return OF
property taken over by the alien
property custodian
Under this plan the property OF the
German government itself will be
first used to pay American claims, and
only when that is exhausted will the
property of German subjects be used
to satisfy American claims. -
Claims of American citizens against
Germany have been filed with the
state department to the amount Of
nearly s1,O00,000.0 Some OF these
claims may be exaggerated, but it is
believed that just and proper claims
amount to at least $40O,000,O00
In commenting on this bill Senator
Underwood said:
1T has been nearly three years
since President Wilson brought the
Versailles treaty back to the United
States, and more than a year has
elapsed since separate peace with
Germany was declared. So far as /
know. no step has been taken by this
government to protect American
claimants and to provide for the
liquidation Of their claims. At the
rate of which the claims have been
allowed against the funds In the
hands Of the alien property custodian.
1t is doubtful If there will be enough
property left to secure American
claims unless prompt action is taken.

for early consideration" M

BONUS VETO CERTAIN
ya 'tBEST MINDS" LEARN

Washington-Opponents of the
soldier bonus claimed to have
} positive assurance from Presi-
dent Harding that he would veto
any bonus legislation presented
to him. w if e9~
Acting on the strength of this
assurance, anti-bonus senator's
lined up their colleagues under a
pledge 70 support a Harding veto
of the bill. r''lis would give bo-
nus supporters but a three-yote
margin, should 1t be necessary
for them to, make the effort to
) override Harding. - s al
. The presidential promise to
veto the bill was carried to sem
ators by three men who were de-
scribed as ''prominent citiz ens.r
! They, according to anti-bonus
senator's. asked Harding to tell
them how he stood on the bonus.
The story is that Harding re-
piled: ff
That he would tnhesitatingly
veto any sort Of bonus legisla-
tion at this time.
That he would do this because
the treasury was not in condi-
tion nor the taxpayers in any
mood to stand the drain the boz
nus would entail.

There was no discussion concern

lieving that new law would be un-
necessary and unhelpful for the mo-
ment

block to the return of the men now
out
Suggestions that the president In
tended to take action in the rail strike
without reference to the labor board
were made after the session, but ap-
parently without official sanction.
There also we're inferences that Chair
man Hooper might be carrying back
to Chicago some new suggestions. on
which tentative negotiations in an en-
deavor to get the strike called off
might be resumed.
