ENGINEERS WILL
 SEEK SOLUTION ID
 SHOALS PROBLEM
Committee of Experts Will Make Extensive Study of Question and Ren-
 der Report
By Associated Press

Boston, September 9.-Eminent American engineers will attempt to solve the problem. of Muscle Shoals, by virtue of resolution adopted at the closing session today of the extc- utive board of the American En- sineering council.
 The order. reflecting the views of the Federated American Engineering societies. authorizes the appointment of committee of leading engineers to study thoroughly every phase of the Muscle Shoals situation in order to clear away hopeless muddle- which ight lead to grave national disadvantages.
 The proposal of Henry Ford rela- tive to developing the gigantic power project was denounced at the meet ing by Phillip N. Moore, chairman of the war minerals relief commission, who cited to show that acceptance of the Ford proposal by tho government would be "unwise."
 It was through representatives of the Associated Engineering societies of St. Louis, William B. Rolfe, city engineer, and MT. Moore. that the board was prompted to adopt the resolution for investigation and study.
 Dean Mortimer Cooley of the Uni- vcrsity of Michigan, president of the federated societies. was directed to appoint "a. committee, of disinterest- ed, distinguished and skillful en- gineers' to be selected by special committee of the executive board and approved by the committee on procedure, for the purpose of making a thorough study. The selected com mittee is to serve without compen- sation The members are first to submit to the 'committe on procedure and subsequently, to the executive board an outline and the scope of the investigation proposed.
 The resolution declared that the results of the study will constitute "a service of great possibility of de- terminative value. to the nation in the settlement of the controversy ever Muscle Shoals. M

Discussing the issues in the con- gressional elections this fall, Mir. Cox said that the International is- sue would be "the failure of the ad- ministration both in the moral and unselfish view, on the one hand, and the practical and selfish view, on the other, to participate In the af- fairs of the world.''---But he added, the matter of governmental asso- citation to promote peace must yield to the matter of establishing eco- homie order in this country"
 Preparations Chief Issue
 MT. Cox said that, for the mo- ment, there was nothing pressing in the question of the League of Ma tions. In Europe, he declared, rep arations and not the league Is the important question now.
 Preparations" Mir. Cox declared, "is the one question in Europe to- day, and America holds the key to the reparations situation. If a de- cision is not reached, Germany will collapse and with her will go Aus tria. And if Germany collapses. France will get nothing and will be left in very bad situation which will endanger all of Europe.
 At the fall elections, the ad- ministration will have to answer for It's sins of omission and commits sion. While the paramount issue will be an international one, the do- mestic and international questions cannot really be separated. The economic unit Is the world. not any one country. A part of it Is close to collapse. America had chance, without involvements of any kind, to end the deadlock, stabilize Eu- rope and create a market for our farms and factories. Declining prices in Americas products Is largely due to the rejection of this opportunity"

 American valuation as the basis for assessing tariff duties was discarded. the House managers yielding on this and accepting the. so-called flexible tariff as substitute after that had been broadened so as to give the President authority to declare Amer ican valuation in any cases where investigation showed that an Aneri- can Industry could not be protected by assessing duties on the foreign valuation.

PRESIDENTS WIFE BATTLES FOR LIFE
 AGAINST DISEASE
No Essential Change in Con- ditlon, General Sawyer An nounceS--Patient Shows
 Wonderful Courage
By Associated Prose

Washington, September 10.-The situation at the White House at 2:25 o'clock this morning remained un.- changed since statements were in- formally made by officials who called around midnight. Mrs. Harding was understood to be in about the same condition as described in the official bulletin issued last evening, The watch at the bedside continued, but no statement on the situation was issued.
 The official statement which was timed as f:so o'clock gave tho pa- tient's conditions as follows:
 Temperature. 1o2.2; respiration, s6; pulse. l12. Excretion by kid neys somewhat increared. Labora- tory findings indicate less auto-in- toxication. Pain in abdomen di- minished. Patient has beon able to take and retain some nourtshment. Condition still critical"
 "Dr. c. T. Harding. IT,. President Hardings brother. joined the medi- cal council Saturday morning" the statement continued. "Dr. Charles Mayo, who has been called to con fer on surgical aspects of the case, will arrive In Washington at 8. m. Sunday.
 c. K. SAWYER, NJ D."
 After last nights tense hours with Mrs. Harding admittedly in crit 4.~al hnnA tinged with some optimism pervaded the executive mansion. It was ap- parent that this was due to the plucky fight ths patient is making and which has aroused the admiration of the group of physicians and ht- tendants ever since the recurring malady, this time with complications due to a cold. became serious several days ago. Even today when sudden rise in her temperature caused some momentary concern. and Mrs. Hard ing plainly was suffering acutely she continued to display her usual forti- tude and unfailing courage.
 President Harding laid aside all but the most vital affairs of state today to be with Mrs. Harding. and tonight was there constantly.
 Wilson Calls
 
 cers and representatives of foreign gevarnments visited tho White House to lparire for the latest news from the sick chamber. Former President Wilson and Mre.s Wilson carne during the afternoon and left their cards Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, who attended MT. wilson during his crit- icai Illness in the White House. tho new German Ambassador. Herr weidefeit. and practically every dip lomatic head in tho present admin istration were among the callers most of whom left flowers and personal notes expressing their sympathy.
 While there was no announcement when the physicians expected a crisis to be reached, tho statement that . consultation would be held Monday to determine whether an operation would be made. lead to the belief that no development of extreme gravity was considered probable before that time. Dr. Charles Mayo of Poches- ter. Minn.. is due in time for the consultation. pr. John Tinney of Baltimore. Dr. Carl ". Sawyer of Marion. Ohio. and other specialists probably will assist General Sawyer. General Sawyer served as physician to tho family for many years before the Hardings came to Washington.

FORD'S PLANTS MAY NOT BE SHUT DOWN.
 DETROIT MAN SAYS
Manufactures Again BIames Wall Street for Strikes. Says Union Men Are
 DeIuded

Detroit, September 9.-Whether the Ford Motor company will close it's plants here and in other cities throughout the country September 16 had not been definitely decided to- night, according to Henry Ford, whose representatives were reported to have contracted for 100000 tons of coal with a Cincinnati concern.
 Mir. Ford said he knew nothing about the Cincinnati negotiations and could not say whether an ade- quate fuel supply had been ob- tained.
 The manufacturer recently an nounced his industries would cease operations September 16, owing to his inability to obtain sufficient fuel at what he deemed fair price. Ad- vancing steel prices also had a bearing on the decision, he said, at that time.
 MT. Ford said he was hopeful that the next few days would bring de- velopments that would warrant a continuance of operations and avert period of likeness for the thou sands of men employed.
 Wall Street Responsible
 But this much l can tell you now" said the manufacturer This whole situation, coal and railroad has been carefully engineered by about 20 sharpers down in Wall street"
 Mir. Ford renewed his charge that financial interests were hurt on forcing government ownership of roads and that the same interests handle the union leaders," He con- tinued:
 Now that no more profiteer rake offs can be made out of the railroads because the stringent federal and state regulations these Wall street ganEsters are fencing to bring about situation where the govern ment will take over all the rail roads and at price that they will name.
 Force Federal Ownership
 "The price the government Is in- duced to pay for mountains of rails and other equipment. most of it obsolete junk, will be the last and greatest rake-off this gang of bank CTS will reap from the manipulation and plunder of the transportation systems of the United Stateg.
 Tt is for that reason that these Wall street sharps have engineered the present coal and railroad tie-up.
 Tt makes me sorry when I read of the loyalty of these striking workmen to their unions. They are sincere-and these days sincerity In any form should be respected. be- cause 1t Is so rare.
 But they are deluded. That's the great tragedy of American labor today. These simple, honest men believe they have been organized for their own good by their own kind of men. but I tell you they have been organized by the agents of Wall street and nobody else. Wall street cannot handle hundreds of thousands of separate. different thinking individuals. so 1t went out and had them organized into unions. Wall street can handle the unions because 1t can and does haAdle the union leaders"
