BY International News Service.

BY International News service.
It will be weeks, IL not months, be-
fore Mrs. Warren @. Harding com.
pletely recovers from the desease
that carried her nearly to deaths
door, her physicians said today In
reporting a continuation. of steady
improvement in her condition.
Brig. Gen. Charles e. Sawyer, the
White House physician. informed
newspapermen at 10 o'clock this
morning that Mrs. Harding had
spent a restful night and that she
seemed well on the way to recovery.
So marked is the improvement in
her condition that the physicians to.
day discontinued the issuance Of the
regular twice-a-day bulletins, but in
so doing they said this action could
not be interpreted as meaning all
danger had passed. From now on
1t will be a slow, tedious fight to
complete recovery.
In all events. the physicians said,
il will be weeks or months before
Mrs. Harding is able to resume her
position of social activity. So far
as at present contemplated, Mrs.
Harding will make her tedious re-
oovery in the White House. Plans
for going away for a long rest"
were considered and abandoned be-
cause of her condition.
The last bulletin from the White
House said: 'Convalescence will
necessarily be tedious. All things
going WELL"

: Superintendent Herbert j.
Tohge, of the Washington Ter

the corporation controlling the
great property "is no party to
the Chicago agreement" Thus,
no matter what action is taken
to ratify an agreement between
railroad executives and officials of
the federated shopcrafts in the
Windy City today the 900 local
strikers will not be taken back.
g.. Not Bound BY Agreement.
( It was made clear by terminal Of
ficials that the corporation Is not
bound by dictums of the presidents
Of either the Baltimore and ohio
or Pennsylvania railroads.
That the contest here will be
bitter one is to be predicated from
facts in the peculiar situation re:
garding the great -locaf depot and
yards. These are:
: Superintendent Tonge on the very
day the strike opened emphaticaliy
declared that the strikers would
never be taken back. They had been
checked off the rolls Of the corpo.
ration, he said. This he reiterated
on several occasions to a reporter
for The Washington Times.
His assistant, Bernard r. Tolson,
says that while the presidents of the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio systems. alternating each year.
are the nominal heads o; the termi-
nal. II is in reality a separate cor
poration and its officers can use
their own discretion in the matter OF
reinstatement.
Union officials hesitated to say
anything. about the situation this
morning. Charles A. H. Frazier,
business agent for the six shop craft
locals In the District. professed not
to know under what railway govern
ance the terminal rests for the. cur
rent year. He declared he and his
associates were awaiting official
word Of a settlement before making
any move.

at wiii,be necessary for the execu-
tive committee headed by Bert M.
Jewell to. instruct system federations
to arrange settlements before we

Al the same time he maintained
that the terminal shops are in dire
need of the group Of experienced
Inachinists, electricians, ETC., who
QUIT their work on July /. Great
expense has been incurred, said
Frazier. in supporting gangs Of i'm
ported workers whose total Of pro-
duction-hours is vastly below that

the strikers remained at their posts.
