MINORITY REPORT

 IF FORD PROPOSAL
Strong Portest Made Against Norris Plan of Government Operation. of Muscle
 Shoals Project
By Associated Press

Washington, August 4.--Acceptance of Henry F'ord's offer for purchase and lease of the governments vast nitrate and water power projects at Muscle Shoals. was urged by repub- lican and democratic Senators com prisine minority of the Senate agriculture committee In a report submitted today to the Senate. Strong protests was entered by the senators against the acceptance of the government ownership and oper- ation plan proposed by Senator Nor ris, the committees chairman.
 The report was presented by Sena- tor Ladd, republican, North Dakota, in behalf of the Ford proponents on the committee whose signatures were attached. It estimated that the government had lost s3,000,000 at Muscle Shoals sincesthe Armlstice. by failure to develop and dsoperate the project, and declared the quickest way to stop these losses is to accept Henry Ford's offer for the purchase and lease of the governments Mus cle Shoals properties"
 Hns Fewer Objections.
 "Certain objections to the Ford offer seem apparent the report said but we insist without fear or successful contradiction that none of the objections to the Ford offer can be remedied or solved by government ownership and operation-by the government going into the power business or entering the uncharted and hazordous field. of operating ni- trate plants at Muscle Shoals in the production of nitrogenous and other commercial fertilizers using electro chemical processes, the commercial success of which is yet controver- sial. Ie
 For Congress to adopt such poll icy when Henry Ford's offer makes 1t unnecessary for the; government to do SOL if continues, "would subject Congress to the just condemnation and reproach of all sober minded people.
 The belief was exMessed that every member of the Senate would agree with the committee minority with reference to the acceptance of MT.

CHIEF PURPOSE OF HARDING s STRIKE
 MOVE IS OBTAINED
Acknowledgement of Labor Board as Supreme Consid- cred of Paramount Im-
 portance at Capital
Ky Associated Press

Washington, August 4.--The
 major purpose of adpinistrn ton
 intervention in the rail strike
 was accomplished, "A Waite House
 spokesman declared today, when
 both rail executives and shop
 craft union leaders agreed to
 consider authority of the rail-
 road labor board as supreme In
 future controversies.
 This aspect of President Harding g proposals for settlement of the strike is viewed by the administra- ton as paramount. The fact that the executives rejected the Prcsl- dents further proposal that, to end the strike, strikers be taken back without impairment of their seniority status, was said to be secondary in the White House view since the success or non-sueeess of goyernmen- tai mediation efforts in an industrial strike could be considered q small matter compared with maintenance of the integrity of legally established d agencies of the government.
 This outline was made ayaiIa- bie today after the cabinet scs-
 sion, which was occupied for
 more than two hours with con-
 sideration of industries in coat
 mining and transportation. It
 strengthened the belief that for
 the moment, no further E0vcrn-
 ment action affecting the con-
 duet of railroad sas to be ex-
 pected.
 A rumor that President Harding's proposals on seniority as originally presented to T. Dewitt Cuyler, chair man of the Railroad Executives as- sociation, differed in form from the draft rejected by the mee ting of the association, met with denial.
 Troubles Exaggerated
 As to the progress of the shop mems strike, the Association of Rail way executives tonight issued a declaring representatives of striking railroad employees were attempting to arouse public con- rern," with .ridieulouss stories about enormous impairment in condition ofaolgiAes and cars on the roads,,
 'On July h, two weeks after the strike began, there were fewer To- comotives In bad order on lines than on February l. March l, April l., May l, or June l." the statement added.
 A point of interest today was the announcement that the Southern rail- way operating officials would meet here tomorrow with the general chairmen of the six striking shop crafts on it's lines, to discuss pro- posal for separate settlement, made 10 the men by H. W. Miller, operating vice president. The South ern has been moving separately from all the other large roads in it's deal. ings with the situation, has made al- most no attempt to employ strike. breakers and has offered to give all returning strikers full seniority priv ileges.

Barnabys Please
Large Audience
CLEVER COUPLE ENTERTAINS
LARGE CROWD AT ARMORY
WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Mr.. and MIS-. Barnaby, who present
ed the second lecture course number
at the Armory last Wednesday even
ing, proved themselves most versatile
entertainers and were accredited by
their audience with having given at
exceptionally bright and clever enteS-
tainment. Incidentally the audience
was one of the largest seen in the
armory for some time, the house being
practically a capacity house.
The program was miscellaneous in
character consisting of chalk talks il
lustrating several popular poems
which were charmingly read by Mr..
Barnaby, while he drew the illustra-
tions, Mrs Barnaby accompanying him
on the piano; two original playlets
showing good character and drama
tization work on the part of both the
actors, and clever readings by Mrs.
Barnaby The pleasant personalities
of both these young people added much
to their program and its charm was
further enhanced by the special light
ing effects and the artistic stage set
tings. While not the heaviest of en-
tertainments, the Barnaby program
was charming and good throughout,
and really was of exceptional merit
considering that only two persons were
giving all the numbers.
The third number of the course will
be given January Is when Alex Miller,
the popular lecturer from Iowa, gives
his lecture, ''The Other Side Of Main
Street"
