HARDING GETS
DIRECT VIEWS
Calls Chairman Hooper OF
Labor Board For Per-
sonal Interview
Senator's Tell of Conference With
Railroad Executives-Cabinet
Considers Whole Question

Washington, July 22.-President
Harding, undeterred by the failure
of members Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee to obtain from
leading Eastern railroad executives
at their conference basis for set
tlement Of the railroad strike, yes
terday invited Chairman Hooper. Of
the Railroad Labor Board, to Wash
ington for a discussion Of the strike
situation.
Mr.. Hooper left Chicago yesterday
afternoon on the Broadway Limited
and was due here this morning.
The President, it was indicated at
the White House after the Cabinet
meeting. at which the rail strike was
discussed at length, desired to OBJ
tain from Chairman Hooper through
direct conference information on sew
eral points raised bv the railroad ex-
ecutives in their discussion Of the
situation with Senators Cummins,
Iowa: Watson, Indiana, and Kellogg,
Minnesota. of the Interstate Com
merce Committee.
Indications were given after the
Cabinet meeting that the President
and his advisers regarded the indust-
rial situation as serious, although not
without hope. 1t was stated, however.
that the situation in neither the coal
fields nor in the railroad centers was
deemed sufficiently serious at the pre-
sent moment to require the use OF
Federal troops.
The Western railroad situation was
taken IN by Acknowledgement Daugh-
erty with Chairman Borah, of the
Senate Labor Committee. Mr.. Daugh-
erty asked information from Sena-
tor Borah regarding courts and at
torneys in the West, it was said, but
did not express a desire for any leg
isIation on behalf of the Administra-
ton.
Those informed concerning the con-
ference between Mr.. Borah and MIR.
Daughertv received the impression
that the Department of Justice might
be contemplating legal action in some
phase of the strike. 1t was said, how
ever. that the Attorney-General did
not disclose or intimate any plans IN
this respect.
II was stated that Mr.. Daugherty
did not regard the Western railway
situation as critical, his conference
with Senator Borah, it was explained
being primarily to obtain intorms-
tion and TO inform Mr.. Borah regard
ing the Western railway status.

Five hundred gallons Of rubber lateX

the government test and by private
concerns interested in the latest de-

process involved, which has already
been patented in England, was in
vented by Frederick Kaye, member
of the Royal Chemical Society.
That small percentages of rubber
latex in the paper considerably in
creases its strength and its ability to
be folded frequently without deter
ioration at the fold has been found
by tests made recently in England.
1t was also found out by these tests
that the waterproof qualities of the
paper have been increased and vast
Improvement in its texture and feel
due to the use of rubber text.
If the results of the experiment

over to this country to confer with
paper manufacturers to further pro-
mote the efficiency Of this product.
The creation of new use for rub

for alleviating the distress result
