SEIZURE OF MINES IS URGED
Solution of Anthracite Situa
tion, One Senator Says.
of Fuel Shortage
Is First in Congress.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Stampeded ed
into decisive action by the rapidly in
creasing peril of fuel famine this fall
and winter, congress dropped every
thing today for consideration of dras-
tic m easures to keep the country sup
piled with coal during the coming
cold months and to prevent a recur-
renee of existing or impending coal
shortages due to the anthracite and BIZ
luminous strikes.
The grave danger of intense suffer-
ing and sickness--even freezing
among the people of those states
where winter is most severe-dinned
into the ears of senators and represen-
tatives alike by a torrent of kilograms,
galvanized both senate and house into
graphing with a situation which
threatens to become even worse than
that of the terrible winter of 1e17-1S.
Would Seize Hard Mines.
Seizure of the coal mines by the
president unless the anthracite strike
is soon settled, urged by Senator CAL
der, Republican, of New York, was be-
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee in the form of joint reso-
luton offered by Senator Walsh.
Democrat, Massa chusetts, to empower
the president to take over all mines
whose products are shipped in inter-
state commerce in order to open them
up and furnish coal to the people.
"A desperate situation confronts the
country" Senator Calder said. I'VE
are but sixty days from the usual pc
riod of frost and anthracite coal must
be secured and distributed soon or else
people will freeze to death this win

Borah to Press Bill.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
chairman of the senate labor commit
tee, said he hopes the governor of ev-
cry state threatened with coal Short
age would follow the example OF Gov
ernor Miller. New York, in calling a
special session of the legislature to iTl-
sure immediate relief and to prevent
fuel famine.
Borah planned to press for imme-
diate action by the senate today on his
bill providing for a coal commission
to be appointed by the president to in
vestigate the whole coal fndustry with
a view of naturalization" or govern
ment control and a standardization of
the living and working conditions of
the miners.
The senate labor committee, voted
to substitute Borah's bill for the Win
slow measure passed by the house.

NO CHANCE FOR SENIORITY
Craftsmen Are Chasing RainboHs,
Says a Santa Fe Official.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 25.-"The
press dispatches continue to hold out
hopes. thru one reason or another, TO
the shop craftsmen that something or
other may happen, sometime or other.
whereby all Of the striking shop forces
may be returned to service and a.
glorious victory won,' said F. G. Pet
tibone, vice president and general
manager of the Santa Fe railway to-
day, in discussing the pending adjust
ment of the railroad shop crafts
strike.
This seems to have been the prac-
tice of several weeks past, and by rea-
son thereof the craftsmen who might
have re-entered the service of the
railroads in their own towns. and with
out diSrupting their home environ
ments, have deferred doing so until
the opportunity for so doing has got
less attractive from a seniority stand
point. The workmen seem to be chas-
ing after the rainbow. which presum-
ably has a pot of gold at its end, which
can be recovered if they can only
reach the end of the rainbow before
it fades away.
Students of the situation, and
among whom are friends of the strik-
ing shop crafts" Mr.. Pettibone con-
tinued, believe that the craftsmen
would have returned had it not been
for the encouragement received thru
their leaders, and they also express the
doubt of any bubble being pricked in
the immediate future which will again
reinstate these men with their full
seniority. There seems to be no ques-
tion that some of these men could re-
enter the service of railroads in their
own home communities, but as the
ranks are gradually filled with those
from other places, the opportunity for
re-employing the strikers becomes less
every day.s

SANTA FE TO STAND PAT
Strikers To Be Taken Back 10 Work
Only as They Arc Needed.

That there is no sign of a l0osening
of the deadlock between the Santa Fe
managers and the striking shopmen
on the point of seniority and the re-
turn of the strikers to their Jobs, is
indicated in statements which were
issued Thursday night by A. G. Wells,
vice president of the road in charge of
operation. and F. ". Rausch, speak
ing for the executive committee of the
shop craft federation in Topeka.
Wells declared that only such strik-
ers as were needed to fill the ranks of
the present shop employees would be
taken back into the service and they
would come back as new men, Junior
to the present employees.
Rausch assertedk that the strikers
would never return to work unless all
of them were taken back with the
seniority they held at the beginning
of the strike, unimpaired.
Wells statement, telegraphed to
Topeka Thursday night, squares per-
fectly with the warning posted in the
shops before the strikey 1t is, in full,
as follows:
Inasmuch as the number of men en-
pi0yed by the Santa Fe railway has
materially increased since we sub
scribed to the majority report adopted
by the executives August IL, the offer
having been rejected by the shop
crafts, it is now impracticable to take
will now take back into the service
only. such striking employees there
may be places for. and as new men.

ELECTRICAL HOME
ATTRACTS VISITORS
FROM OTHER CITIES

Indicating the widespread inter
est in the electrical home over L.
500 people have already visited 1t
although 1t has been on exhibition
total OF only twelve hours. The
visitors have been from all sections
of the Calumet region.
East Chicago. Whiting and Gary.
have OF course provided a large
quota but the surprise Is that there
have been numbers OF visitors from
c b ago, Homewood, Chicago
Heights and other nearby Illinois
towns
The Chicago people invariably
made the remark that having seen
Hammond from the railroad trains.
its business and industrial districts
that they had no idea that Ham
mond had such q beautiful residen-
ttal section as Kenwood.
HOW IT Is CONDUCTED
The visitors which include every
class of home makers from afanced
lovers to newly weds: from the
younger married set to those who
are looking forward to their golden
wedding day indicated the wide
spread interest in the primal in
stinct OF homemaking despite flar-
ing newspaper headlines Of divorces
ana the ' lue spread impression that
the home as an institution is on the
rocks.
And the sponsors are gratified By
the fact that regardless OF ones
station in lie the remarks are all
complimentary and not word of
hostile criticism has been heard.
There is no question but that
Hammonds first electrical home
Will point the way to thousands TO
a higher conception OF the possibu-
tiles OF home making and that
part. If not all of the ideas sug-
gested by the model electrical home
will be adopted as a result of Its
having been exhibited.
INVITATION TO EVERYBODY
The fact should be made plain
that commencing with last Satur-
day at two o'clock and continuing
for two weeks the model home will
be open from two o'clock in the
afternoon 70 ten o'clock at night
Courteous guides are on hand to
direct the crowds on the prescribed
course through the house, this be-
ing necessary to prevent congestion.
Explanation OF all of the electrical
equipment from the beautiful cabi
net Radio outfit to the operation of
the electrical bed warmer and the
electrical dough mixer is made by
those who have been assigned to
this work
And no effort Is made to sell any
thing exhibited. In fact the whole
atmosphere Of the exhibition is that
of an afternoon reception or an at
home rather than a commercial un-
dertaking
MANY FAVORABLE COMMENTS
Surprise is generally expressed
that such a beautiful result could
have been accomplished by levies
from purely local stocks of mer-
chandfse. Thus the Trade IN
Hammond" slogan receives its great
est impetus.
