New Move
Planned in
Rail Strike
Action by Administration to
End Walkout Freely Fore.
cast in Washington
Official Circles.
Plans Kept Under Cover

Washington, July 24-(By A. p
While on the surface concrete de-
vclopments in the railroad strike are
lacking i'll Washington. the impress
sion gained in official circles was that
the situation was being rapidly
shaken down" to point where a
new move by the administration
could be expected.
Cabinet members who discussed
the situation. invariably declared that
President Harding was in personal
charge OF the question. and, though
there was more than the belief that
the cabinet would be called upon to
consider it at the regular session
Tuesday, no hint was forthcoming as
to the manner in which the trans
portation crisis would be laid before
the presidents official family.
Further evidence was obtained.
however, that some OF the chief
executives advisers have urged that
the government cannot permit the
breakdown of the country's arteries
of commerce. to go further, while
waiting for the railroad managements
and shopmen to dispose OF their dif-
fcrences.
Mail Trains Annulled.
Official reports have been received.
it is known, giving details Of the ex-
tent to which the strike has been re-
sponsible for the almost total
"blanketing" OF the healthy business
| revival in the United States. and
while instances of direct interference
with the United States mail have re-
Gently been conspicuously absent.
postal inspectors recorded the further
annulment of important mail trains.
Some administration advisers who
favor drastic move by the govern
ment, are known to hold the view
that President Harding should de-
mand that the railroad executives
make every effort to restore inter-
state commerce. especially to the ex-
tent of abandoning their stand on the
seniority issue-said to be the cruS
of the whole strike question-where-
upon the disputants would be eX-
pected to come together on the mat
ter of fair living wage for railroad
employees, conceded to be the re-
naming important issue.
Could Operate Roads.
If the Railroad executives refused.
it was declared, the president, salts.
lied he has full authority and a duty
delegated to him by the constitution
to maiDHain interstate commerce and
the mafl service, could proceed to op-
crate the, roads. While the Esch.
Cummins act would be invoked for
the purpose, as far as that would ap-
ply, it was, said the presidents main
reliance would be the duty EN-
trusted" to the chief executive under
the constitution.
The president. it was understood.
has been assured by his advisers that
his authority for decisive action.
without recourse to congress, is with
out question. Other courses will be
open to him in order to physically
operate the roads, it was said.
First, he could request the strikers
to return to work under the govern.
ment operation at the old wage scale
and with seniority rights restored.
If this failed then federal troops
could be called upon to assure opera
ton of the trains.

Special immigration Board
Without Power Under Law

Washington, July 24-The special
board Of review recently created by
Secretary of Labor Davis to expedite
the handling of immigration appeal
cases at Ellis Island will likely be
abolished, in view of the discovery
that under the law governing adrnis-
sion of aliens to the United States,
such board is without power to pass
definitely upon such cases.
In view OF the contemplated aboli-
ton of the board, all appeal cases as
in the past will now be referred to
Washington, it was said. for final
disposition. This will mean con-
tinued congestion OF appeals, delay
and expense to the government, it
was explained by Labor department
officials.

ward the elimination or demotion Of
some $500 officers Monday but was
held up by the absence OF one men,
Der.
Members OF the board. which is
representative OF all arms OF the SER
vice. were greatly concerned in their
preliminary discussions over the
probable effect upon the morale OF
the army by the suspended sentence
now hanging over the head OF prac-
tically ever officer in the service, with
the exception OF Gen. Pershing and
the bakers dozen of second lieuten-
ants now in the army.
No Provisions Made.
Congress. in directing that the Of
fcers corp be reduced by January !
to 10000, did not include the gen.
eral officers OF the army in fixing the
number to he retained in each grade.
The War department, in preparing
instructions for the "plucking" board.
did not include the general officers
insofar as retirement OF any of the
major or brigadier generals for
physical disability would create va
cancies and permit the appointment
of colonies to general officer rank,
reducing the number OF surplus
colonies to that extent.
There appeared also to be much
concern among the members as to
the view army officers might take of
the boards action in recommending
any officer for honorable discharge.
Preliminary investigation indicates
that probably more than l,70O Off
GERS now on the rolls must be "separ-
ated" from the active service in this
way.
No Reflection on Service.
The board, it is understood. will
seek by every means to impress upon
the army and upon the general public
the view that discharge under these
conditions in no way reflects upon
the character of the service dis
charged officer has rendered and that
in a majority of the cases, at least.
the army would much prefer to re-
tain these officers services.
Board members are understood to
feel that there is little prospeets OF
finding many officers who merit dis.
charge. The army recently cleaned
house in this regard on its own mo-
ton and the suggestion Of Gen.
Pershing to congress that the
strength of the corps be fixed at
13,5O0 was based upon the efforts
then in progress to get rid of insult
able officers in the way congress
previously had provided through ct.

Lenroot Opens
Fight to Limit
Duties on Wool
Proposal of Wisconsin Senator
for Maximum Rate of 90
Per Cent Meets Strong
Opposition.

Washington, July 24.-Failing to
get action from the senate finance
committee majority, Senator Len
root, republican, Wisconsin, launched
his fight to limit to 90 per cent ad
valorem the duties in the pending
bill on coarse woods, both in the raw
and the manufactured state. His
proposal met with sharp opposition
from spokesmen for the committee
and senators engaged i'll the produc-
tion of wool and there were frequent
and, at times. sharp exchanges.
Warning his republican colleagues
that the SO cents a pound duty pro-
posed would result i'll an increase in
the cost of woolen clothing. Senator
Lenroot declared the republicans
could not justify this enormous
equivalent ad valorem duty, equal
ling in some cases l37 per cent" on
wool OF a kind not produced in this
country to any appreciable extent.
Senators Clash.
In the course of the exchanges be-
tween Senator Lenroot and his col
leagues on the majority side, there
was a sharp dispute with Chair
man McCumber of the finance COM
mittce as to whether the committee
majority had agreed to any reduc-
tions in the ad valorem duties orig
iEally proposed.
Senator Smoot, who is in charge
of the wool schedule for the COM
mittee, said no decreases had been
agreed upon. Shouting that cuts had
Leen agreed upon, Senator McCum-
Der produced one amendment, pro-
posing 5 per cent reduction in the
ad valorem duty in one paragraph
of the schedules and Immediately Of
fered it to the senate. Later he an
nounced that similar reductions in
the ad valorem duties in number
Of paragraphs had been made by the
committee.
Calling attention that senator's had
stated frequently in the senate that
it costs As cents a pound to produce
wool in this country, Senator Len
root read from a tariff commission
report showing that this cost in
cluded f per cent interest on the en-
tire investment of the sheep growers.
Production Hazardous.
Senator Gooding of Idaho, chair
man of the republican-agricultural
tariff bloc and author of the raw
wool amendment in the bill, declared
that if the government would guar
antee' the wool producers E per cent,
they weuld be satisfied. Senator
Bursum, republican, New Mexico, in
terrupted to say that wool producing
was hazardous, depending upon the
elements and other conditions.
Senator Lenroot disputed conten-
tons of the committee members that
his amendment could not be admin
istered because fine and coarse wool
entered into the same piece of cloth.
He said that while it might not be
possible to administer it in every
case, in those cases where it could
be enforced there would be saving
to the American consumer.
Before returning to its tight over
wool, the senate wound up its work
on committee amendments in the
fax, jute and hemp schedules.
By vote of "a to 16, the senate
rejected an amendment by Senator
Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, to cut
from IS per cent ad valorem to 20
per cent, the proposed duty on cotton
floor coverings.
