Saturn. Jupiter and Mars are all in
maletc aspect. Mercury is family

contests of all sorts with capital
and even serious riots.
BUSINESS depression may be felt
at this time in places hitherto most
prosperous. but it will be slight and

For the Pacific Coast such rapid
DEVELOPMENT of shipping interests is
presaged that itt cities will increase
with even more surprising rapidity
than ever before.
The rising position of Jupiter N
sextile to Neptune lis read as prom
ising a more settled condition for
the people of this country, who are
to face the facts of life with a new
seriousness.
Again, heavy expenditures of
public money and much extra

one State.

WASHINGTON Is hopeful"
But Harding Has Taken No Action for
Ending the Strike, Which Now
Threatens to Spread to Other
Unions-Shops to Reopen.

~Chicago,-The third week of the
railway shipments strike opened with
peace negotiations at a standstill fol.
lowing separate conferences between
rail executives, union heads and rail.
road board members when the differ.
ences were described as "funda-

Western carriers have issued a Writ.

ing that they will not agree to any
plan inconsistent with decisions of the
labor board and will not confer with
the strikers while the walkout con.

B. NJ. Jewell, head OF the shopmen,
indicated that working rules and
wages, both based on the boards de-
c%isions, must be settled satisfactorily
before he will consent to call off the
strike and take the matter before the
labor board.
Virtually abandoning hope of an
early settlement, many roads, accord.

pared to make a determined effort to
reopen their shops with non-union

After a conference with President
Harding, E. F. Cradle, head of the
maintenance of way organization,
said there was no prospect of an i'm.
mediate authorization of a strike of
his 400, 600 men, but added that IS
hours might change the situation. A
white house statement said Mr.. Cradle
brought to the president the first off
cial protest that railroads are ignoring
decisions Of the labor board and OK
pressed the opinion that proper con.
ference would end in settlement.
Senator Cummins, chairman of the

that hearings will be held soon look.

BITTER BATTLE WILL BE FOUGHT
OUT ON SENATE FLOOR IN
FIGHT TO FINISH.

Minority Reports viii Be
Sent to the Senate.

Washington.-The fight for final dis
position of the Muscle Shoals powe,
and nitrate plant will be carried to the
senate floor, following rejection by the
agricultural committee Of both the
Norris plan for governmental opera.
ton and the Ford OFFER.
Forces offer was defeated by a 9 to
7 vote, while Norris bin was lost. 9
to 3, two senators. Page. Vermont,
and Harreld, Oklahoma, not voting on
the ballot.
All other proposals for the projects
were discarded by the committee with.
out a record vote. These included the
offer by the Alabama Power company.
Frederick Engstrum, Charles l.. Par,
sons and the quasi-governmental plan.
The voting for rejection of the Ford
offer was: Senators Norris, Page (bv
proxy, McNary, Reyes, Gooding, Nor,
beck, Harreld. Mckinley. all republi-
cans; and Senator Kendrick, demo-
crat, Wyoming.
Those voting for a favorable report
were: Senators Capper and Ladd. re,
publicans, and Smith, Ransdall, Har.
rison, HELM and Caraway, democrats.

Muscle Shoals at this session of con,
prIgg NAV mot ba tnbnp WIN a.
tariff soldier bonus, the ship subsidy
anal several other important measures
crowding the legislative calendar a
vote on disposition Of the project may
be sidetracked until next session.
Ford's supporters, however, signifiad
an intention TO demand action before
the senate %adjourns. Proponents of
the federal operation plan are believed
to favor postponement.
Although the committee failed to
agree on a majority report to the sen.
ate, two recommendations, the Norris
plan and the Ford offer, will be sub
mitted as minority reports, Work on
drafting the recommendations started
Immediately after the meeting. and it
Is expected this will be completed by
the middle of this week. Senator
Ladd, North Dakota, is in charge of
the Ford draft, which Chairman Norris
will handle with the report on his own
bill.
A radical change in the lineup OF
the committee may be effected when
the reports are offered in the senate,
leaders indicated.
Harreld, while voting against Ford,
does no. favor government operation
Of the plant. In an interview he sug-
&c ted that the government complete
all CO. struction work on dams at
Muscle Shoals, which 1t is estimated
will take at least three years. and
then again open the project to private
BIDDERS. In this he is believed to have
consid cradle support in the senate,
especially among these who oppose |
the Ford offer in its present form. but
would accept it if the lease were re-
duced to 90 instead OF 100 years.
