that "Dick" would be reprievcd.
The dog had been given to Sill

discovered by game warden. Sill
verman's love for his dog and the
respect in which his neighbors held
him brought many persons to the

Harding to Guard
Public Interest
in Industry Wars
Assumes Attitude Taken by
Coolidge in Policemen's
Strike-Neutrality
To Be Kept.
BY GEORGE F. AUTHIER.

(Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee
Washington, July 2.-(Special
Telegram. )-President Harding has
struck new note in administrative
handling of labor disputes.
He has made it plain that in deal
ing with these disputes he proposes
to put the interest of the general
public first. In other words, the
president does not intend to take
sides in labor disputes, but does in
tend to see to it, SO far as possible,
that the interests Of the general pub
lie shall not be jeopardized by dis
putes in industry where capital and
labor may be regarded as servants OF
the general public.
This was the position taken by
Vice President Coolidge in the case
of the Boston policemen's strike and
it proved successful.
Announces Stand.
President Harding made this clear
in his address to the representatives
of the miners and coal operators
whom he called in to settle the
coal strike. 1t is assumed it will BE-
his position in regard to the railway
shopmen's strike.
Some time ago President Harding
made it known at the White House
that he had never given instructions
to the railway labor board except to
learn the facts and make decisions
thereon. and that the full power OF
the government would support the
decisions.
Public Has Interests.
1t was the theory of the creators
of the railway labor board that the
interests of the public demanded
some such tribunal to which both par
ties to a controversy could have re!
course. While the decisions of the
board are not binding it was ex-
pected they would have strong
moral effect.
The absence of the president pre-
vents expression of any additional
views on the subject here now but
men close to the administration ex-
press the belief that the attitude so
expressed will continue

1t is possible but not likely that the
Bolshevik Will change their policy and

that there was not much chance OF it.
The third possibility; That tho starv-

that the Bolshcyik leaders would ali

Count Tolstoy, the son of Russia s
