TRAFFIC TIE-UP IS TOPIC
U. S. Intervention Believed Near in
Transportation Breakdown.

Washington-A growing impression
that the administration was rapidly
approaching a point in it's attitude to-
ward the rail strike where decisive
move to arrest the resulting break
down in transportation must be looked
for, has raised expectation of import
ant developments.
President Harding, who was declar-
ed by cabinet members prior to the
meeting to be in personal charge of
the question, is understood to have
received the opinion of some of his
advisers that the government caa not
permit the disruption of transportation
to so further.
With reports indicating the strong
ly repressive effect of the strike is ma
TONS business revival, some admin
istration advisers are known to hold
that the railroad executives should be
called upon to make every effort to re-
store interstate commerce, that the
roads should even abandon their stand
against restoration OF seniority rights
to striking shopmen.

Pooling.

~ Washington Operators from the

Secretary Hoover and Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty held a conference prior
to the formers meeting with the op.

phases of the coal distribution plan
which has been under study by the
Department of Justice. Both Cabinet
snicers refused to discuss their con-

Senator Kellogg of Minnesota saw
Mr.. Hoover for a few minutes before
the opening of the conference. The
senator So id he had merely wished to
inquire as to the situation, which, he
declared, twas bad"
The plan contemplates the creation
Of a central committee, with represen-
tatlves from the departments of COM
merce, justice, interior and the Inter
state Commerce commission, operating
through local committees in the pro-
ducing districts of Virginia, West Vir-
sinia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsyl-

Coal distribution, it is planned,
would be controlled through pooling in
the various producing districts and the
distribution of cars under a preferen-
tial system to be instituted under au-
thority of the Interstate Commerce
commission.

FOOD CHIEF TO
WARM NATION
Drastic Action Follows Failure
Of Government to End
Strike.

Washington The government s
emergency coal control program will
begin to function within 48 hours.
Secretary Hoover, in making this
announcement said ratification of the
emergency plan for distribution and
restriction of unfair prices by the op
orators association was expected with
in 48 hours, but if cooperation was
Withheld in any district the govern
ment would proceed to appoint the
necessary local committees.
The emergency coal control plan
Mr.. Hoover stated, is Intended to ap.
ply to all coal producers whether in
the nOn-uniOn or union fields and it
was indicated that service orders by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
providing for priorities in the alloca.
ton of coal cars may be expected al.
most Immediately.

Hoover declared the government had
exhausted every means toward set
Element, that it had offered arbitration
which had been rejected, and the mat

distribution of coal as produced.
The commerce secretary sympathiz-
ed the intention of the government to
prevent advancing coal prices and de-
clared that under the emergency pro-
gram no freight cars would be allo-

Possible enactment of new legisla-
ton in connection with the govern

was indicated by Mr.. Hoover. :.
The immediate policy of the govern

declared at the White House to be a
continuation of it's endeavors to fur

in the mines.
The statement was made that,
should coal not be produced in dppre-
cable quantities under this protection
and in accordance with the President
invitation to the operators to open the
mines, some other steps might be TAX
en-, but that President Harding was un-
willing to consider 1T this time what
they might be.
The personnel of the central com

SR0PMEN ISSUE TERMS
Fight on Seniority Rights Seen as
Chief Obstacle.

Chicago-Three principal issues now
prevent possible settlement of the
railway shopmen's strike, B. M. Jewell,
head of the railway employees depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, said in statement These is
sues, he said, are found in the refusal
Of the rail executives:
First-To discontinue contracting
out of work.
Second-To establish national
board of adjustment
Third-To continue seniority rights
Of employees who suspended work.
''The responsibility for increasing
losses to the railroads, to the com.
munities they serve and to wage earn.
ers upon the railroads and elsewhere,
through continuance of the present
suspension of work." the statement
said, rests plainly upon the Associa.
ton of Railway Executives, and par.
ticularly upon that small but dominat.
ing group, representing the New York
banking interests
Pointing out that the Railroad La.
Dor board has decided against the
practice of contracting out railroad
work in certain cases, Mr.. Jewell as
serted that the Erie railroad, the New
York Central and it's subsidiaries, in
Guiding the Indiana Harbor Belt, the
Michigan Central and the Big -Four,
and the Western Maryland road have
all contracted out shop work"
MANY other roads," the statement
said, r"have followed the same prac.
|tice, and always with the purpose and
result of reducing wages, evading de-
cisions of the labor board, degrading
working conditions and attacking the
employees organizations"

JUDGE DAVIS GIVES POLITICAL
FACTS IN EPIGRAMS

The Fourth of July speech made by
Representative Ewin L. Davis of Ten
nessee, in New York City, bristled with
sparkling epigranis which makes it one
of the most effective speeches made in
celebrations Of our national holiday.
The following extracts are taken there
from:
"With 16S majority in the House
and "a majority in the Senate the e.
O. P. has been unable to functioa. 1t
seems to have lot Of control but no
speed"
"Both of these bills (Tariff and
Ship Subsidy are for the benefit Of
special interests. They (the Republi-
cans) are trying to pay their campaign
contributions going and coming.''
"The results Of the Disarmament
Conference constitute merely some
steps in the right direction and some
steps in the wrong direction
"During the last campaign the Re-
publicans pledged to the nation Hard.
ing and Prosperity They have full
filed only the first half Of the pledge
they gave us Harding. Their pledge
has been translated into Harding and
Hard Times.'"
"a large majority Of the people
voted for change-and got it. They
exchanged eight years Of Democratic
prosperity for four years of Republican
adversely. The humorous philosopher
Abe Martin, we'll expressed it when he
said: 'Tell Brinkley, who voted for
a change, was let out at the saw-mil]
the other day. Millions of Tell
Brinkleys have been let out under the
Republican administration.
'Normalcy' seems to be having
serious tire trouble.''
"Ihere has been reduction in rev.
enue as natural result Of reduction
in incomes under Republican misrule. -
"Reactionary republicanism is not a
cure for any i'll that may afflict the
body politic-in fact, it is malady
itse1f.''

WANTED: AT WASHINGTON TO-

(Boston TRANSCRIPT (Rep.)

July 14:-Leadership is our greatest
present need, and it is there that the
Party System has played US false. To
manipulate it's vast and intricate ma
chinery there arose great demand
for expert mechanicians, and these have
evolved in rich profusion. But in a
crisis like the present mechanicians will
not serve our purpose. The real need
is a Man, who by the example of his
own courage, vigor, certainty and
steadfastness will draw out the high
est qualities of the people; whose reso-
lutte sense Of duty will brush oppor-
tunism aside; whose sympathy and
truthfulness will stir the heart and
hold fast the conscience of the nation.
Leadership Of this sort we have lack
ed.-From divers "Ordeal by Bat
tle.'
Leadership of this sort we lack today.
The party in power has failed as yet
to raise up such a leadership. On that
account and to that extent it is guilty
of betraying the people who put it in
power by an overwhelming majority
less than two years ago. The spirit Of
the people is sound and true. It "can
do much but it cannot do everything. -
One Of the things it cannot do is to
take the place of Mantle Man that
is wanted at Washington today.

from st. Cloud through its commercial

$4,000 for sewer and water extensions,

a good investment for the cost, but we

publican Of Kansas, head Of the farm
bloc and recognized as national pro-
gressive leader.
Evidences Of a careful, systematic
propaganda to undermine public con-
Gdence in state primary laws with q
view to bringing about their repeal
and a return to the selection Of candi-
dates by party conventions is seen I'M
der the recent criticism Of primaries
by President Harding, Secretary OF
War Weeks and Senator Watson OF
Indiana. ,.><. @g.-
IT cannot 60 along with the presi-
dent, Weeks and Watson" Capper de-
clares, "instead of abolishing or linn
iting the primary, it must be extended.
81 hope to see the day when noml-
nations for president will be by popu'
lar primary. When that day comes,
we shall be getting OH toward a really
popular government. The people must
have more voice, not less voice in their
government and in the selection OF
men who make and administer the
laws.
National Committeeman First
Gone of the first steps in extending
the primary should be selection of ma
tional committeeman by popular vote.
That would give the rank and file OF
the parties a voice. 1t has none now.
"Of course the reason for the dis
satisfaction of party leaders with
the primaries is not hard to find. Re-
suits Of recent primary elections in
which the people have rejected 'or-
ganization candidates and nominated
men Of their own choice, has upset
them.
"They blame the system. Yet the
fact that the primary gave the voters
chance to name their own choice in
stead Of having a handpicked organi-
zation candidate forced on them is the
best possible endorsement of the pri-
mary principle.
elf the people are not to have a
voice in the nomination of their can
didates for office. why should they
have a voice in their election?
eff popular elections are to stand
nominations by primary must stand.
"No other plan comes near to pro-
viding popular government.
"Four times out Of five, the pri-
mary is more important than the elec-
ton. For in many states minority
party candidate has no chance what
ever. The nominees of the majority
party are assured Of election.
eff the primary is eliminated, so
the voter has no voice in the selection
of his party's nominees, he has nc
voice in the election.
Fair for Poor Man
cit may be true there are times
when poor man is at a disadvantage
under the primary system. But the
nomination of Colonel Smith Brook
hart ip iowa as candidate for United
States senator shows a man can be
nominated without spending large sums
Of money-if he has the peoples con-
idence and they want him.
"Secretary Weeks, it seems to me,
out -Bolsheviked the Bolsheviki in de-
claring popular government a failure.
"With all the unrest and a dis
content now current, this is poor
time to talk about taking from the
people their primaries. Rather, we
should be studying how to extend
them.
"Not less popular government but
more popular government is what we
need.'
