 Promise of Protection
 The president. it was stated, was determined that the only course the government now could pursue was the path it followed in the coal strike extension of an invitation to the era- ployes to operate their properties and the federal government. with the CO., operation of the states, would stand behind them in their efforts so lar a4 they are directed to the serving of the public.
 May Address Congress
 Consideration is being given by the president it was asserted, to the pro- position of going before congress within the next few days with a com- prehensive statement of the whole rail strike situation. including the re- buffs that have met the governments attempts at settlement.
 This statement, if made, it was said, would include no suggestions as to legislation, but be designed to place before congress and the country the facts in the situation as viewed by the government.
 Has "His Back Up."
 The president was described by one of his advisors as having his back up" and finally convinced that nothing further could be done through negotiation.
 Endeavors at mediation however continued today by the leaders of the brotherhoods of railroad operating employees and of the other railroad organizations whose members have not been called out on strike. These leaders held another conference with B. M. Jewell, leadr of the striking shop craft workers, and the other chiefs of striking unions.

TIRESOME HEARING
 0N NEW HAVEN CASE
Most Of Day Taken Up With Ar.
 suments on Injunction
DANAHER AGAIN OBJECTS
Protests Against Irregularities in Method of Serving --Writs-Case Continues, Under Special Ruling by Judge Thomas.

New Haven. Aug. 15.--Little pro- gress had been made up till noon in I the hearing on the application of the N. Y., N. H. and H. railroad for a temporary injunction against its striking /shopmen to replace the re- straining order which Judge E. S. Thomas of the federal court had is- sued.
 The court had ordered the issue to be tried on its merits. c. J. Danaher of counsel for the strikers at the out set moved that the application be dismissed, setting forth a number of grounds 'n support of his claim that tkere were irregularities in the serv- ice of the legal papers.
 Many Arguments Raised.
 Arguments on the objections which were made both by Mir. Danaher and Arthur B. O'Keefe occupied the fore- noon sitting. MT. Danaher claimed that 1t was essential to have U. S. Marshal Walter present. He said that subpoenas had not been served as required by law and that the court had ordered return on the subpoenas to be made by August 1. He alleged that if Mr. Walter was present he would prove that the bulk of the writs had not been returned by the date prescribed.
 There was delay while an effort was made to locate Marshal Walter. He was out of town, however.
 Judge Thomas ordered that Mir. Danaher's statements as to the date be conceded and that the hearing go on with permission to Attorney Sheafe for the railroad company to submit data to show that Mir. Dana hers objections should not stand in the way of legal procedure and the case was within the Jurisdiction of the court.
 Postponed to Thursday
 The next hearing on the application will be held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at South Norwalk before Judge Thomas.
 This mornings session of the hear ing ended at noon with the under standing that 1t was to be resumed at ? o'clock this afternoon. During the recess however, counsel for both sides agreed to an adjournment until Thursday.
 The chief business of Thursdays hearing will be the reading into the of more than 100 affidavits al- l eging acts of intimidation and vio- ence on the part of strikers.

big sales are imminent, it was said
at the offices of the association late

bacco held by the association which
is free of any loan or collateral

A NEW WAY TO STOP WAR

A president of the United States
is called upon to speak on more
subjects than any man as busy as he
is can possibly master. 1t is reason
able to suppose, there, that in no few
instances a president takes the adj
vice of experts in advance, in order
that a view may be presented that
will contribute toward intelligent
discussion. But President Harding
could hardly have prepared himself
in this or in other ways before he
delivered his recent address in the
presence of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, in the
course of which he made some sur
prising statements, including the
following:
81 do not believe that we would
ever have been drawn into the war
| do not hesitate to say that / doubt
if there had ever been a world war
If America had prior to the war
commanded a merchant marine com.
mensurate with our commercial i'm
portance in the world"
This seems to say that, in order to
preserve the peace of the world, all
we need to do is to enact a ship sub
sidy. If only we secure government
aid an dbuild up a merchant marine
commensurate with our commercial
importance" there will be no more
international discord, no more i'm
perialistic ambition, no more aggres
sive militarism. The nations will be
so stunned with astonishmest or ad
miration or icportant envy of oul
greatness that they will give up and
lie down, so to speak. and then love
each other and be good and fight nc
more. or course Mr.. Harding can
not really mean anything of the sort
but II he does not mean something
Of the sort, wha can he mean?
