PRESIDENT ACTS
ON TARIFF BILL
Harding Outlines to Senators
Desirability of Elasticity.
NOTE is READ TO SENATE
Asks FlexibiIity in Adjusting Duties
and Urges That Share of
Power Be Given Board
to Be Created.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Following
conferences with senators in behalf Of
a flexible tariff which would give pow
ers of rate adjustment to the Eresi-
dent and the tariff board, President
Harding sent a letter to Chairman
McCumber of the finance committee,
and it was read to the senate. not only
urging that flexible tariff be provid-
ed for, but that the tariff commission
be made the agency for investigation
and recommendation for changes in
tariff rates.
Text of Presidents Letter.
The Presidents letter is as follows:
II need not repeat to you what /
have said personally and what / have
conveyed officially in a message to
congress, how deeply am interested
in the provision for f1exibility in the
tariff bill, which is now under consid-
Grafton in the senate. 1t has seemed
to me that the varying conditions in
the world and the unusual conditions
following the World war make it ex-
tremely essential that we have this
means of adapting our tariff to meet
the new conditions.
Moreover, / believe it is a highly
constructive and progressive step in
retaining the good and eliminating the
abuses which grow up under our tariff
system. | think we ought to make
the tariff commission all that it is de-
CT uno d RI hn coinntifi Ia
investigation and the source of de-
pendable information an all tariff
problems.
Wants Board Definitely Named.
''In view Of the fact that congress,
in providing for flexibility, must be-
stow some exceptional powers upon
the President, / should very much pre-
fer that in the same act the congress
definitely name the tariff board as the
source of information and recOmmen-
dation upon which the President may
proclaim changes in rates of duty.
eff the power to modify rates were
given to the President I should imme-
diately proclaim the tariff board as
the agency of investigation and rec
ommendation, because the President
could not deal with the situation in
any other practical manner. 1 think
it more seemly, therefore, to have the
congress definitely designate the tariff
board as the agency to be employed
by the President in the exercise of
executive power which it is proposed
to bestow."

CONGRESS MAY TAKE
ACTION ON RAIL STRIKE
Legislative Leaders Are Summoned to
Washington Because of the
Grave Situation.

Washington, Aug. g. President
Harding wants a complete congress
assembled in Washington and ready
for action in view of the grave situa-
ton involved in the railroad and coal
strikes. To this end he has directed
congressional leaders to cancel plans
for recesses after the reconvening
of the house, August 15. This was
the gist of an official announcement
from the White House.
Congressional leaders have been
planning a series Of three-day re-
cesses,- operating under a gentlemen's
agreement, allowing members to re-
main away from Washington until
the senate is ready to report the tar
iff bill
President Harding is convinced,
however, that this plan would be un-
wise and he accordingly has taken
steps to have congress in full work
Ing order to cope with any transpor-
tation emergency that may arise.
In the face of almost seeming GER
tainty that the railway strikers will
reject Mr.. Harding's latest peace pro-
posal, there was no indication from
the White House after the cabinet
meeting as to what future steps the
government will take President
Harding, it was said at the White
House, is mot making threats" nor
is he crossing bridges until he reaches
them.
The cabinet devoted more than two
hours to the industrial situation, but
there were no definite DEVELOPMENTS
in the governments policy.

Abilene, Tex, Aug 12.-Congress-

sent out kilograms to numerous lead

that President Harding has summoned
congress to take over the railroads.

weak trucking to autocratic unions
far worse than when they forced the
passage of the Adamson law" the
message says.
"This is exactly what the brother
hoods have planned. Remember how
they held the government up during
the war"

Wire Approval to Poincare.

France has been busy since the
war contracting military alliances with
various European countries, notably

On the other hand, Great Britain, so
