WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IL
There are two kinds of action which
could be taken by congress on the
pending strike situation, either at the
request of President Harding or
through its own initiative. The first
is an emergency measure not very
serious in character. The other would
be to review the whole subject of the
relation OF labor and capital and pass
legislation going to the heart Of it.
The probability is against congress
being asked in the immediate future
to do much more than pass compare
lively unimportant emergency legisla
ton. Something of this kind may be
necessary any day, regardless oil
whether the strike situation should
grow better or grow worse.
Even in the matter of rationing coal
for example, some things are neces
sarily being done, which may call fol
legal authorization. The rationing OF
coal or at least some kind of super
vision of the distribution Of coal, i;
likely to go on for a considerable
