$50 was taken by the federal gov
ernment in income taxes.
An official statement has come from
the White House to the effect that the
President has not interfered and has
no intention of interfering at this time
in either the railroad situation or the
bituminous coal strike. The govern
ment does not contemplate any dras-
tic action to bring about a settlement
or agreement between the operators
and the miners. The statement is re-
garded as an effort to set at rest re-
ports that the executive and his Off
cial advisers contemplated the seizure
or taking over of mines for govern
ment operation to insure sufficient
fuel supply. No threat of any such
action has been made or is contem-
plated.
1t was stated at the White House
today that the coal strike situation
in 1902 when President Roosevelt took
hand was not analogous to the pres
ent situation. At that time the strike
had been running for q or % weeks
and the public faced fuel famine. The
present strike is of 10 weeks dura-
ton and there is no famine.
Action taken by the H. Ese Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce bars any
possible legislation during the present
session of Congress which would
amend the Esch-Cummins transporta-
ton act. The attitude of the mem
bers also bars any possible radical
radical railroad legislation of any
kind until Congress reconvenes. The
members of the committee believe the
Esch-Cummins act should have a
proper trial and that only additional
time can give it q thorough test. The
victory of Col. Smith W. Brookhart
in the Iowa Senatorial primaries
who made an attack upon the trans
portation act one Of his platform
planks had given opponents of the
act in Congress renewed confidence.
The summer camps of the reserve
officers training corps opened today
for a period of six weeks. Entrance
to these camps in general Is limited
to students who have completed their
third academic year in university
or college as members of a senior
unit of the r. o. T. c. However. a
few thoroughly qualified students who
have completed their freshmen or
sophomore year and certain selected
students of essentially military
schools have been granted special per-
mission to attend.
The students who successfully com
plete the summer training camps are
rendered commissions as second lieu
tenants in the officers reserve corps
upon the completion Of their fourth
year of military instruction and grad
uation from the university or college.
Upon receiving their commissions
they are assigned to units of either
the national guard or organized re-
serves-the two citizen components OF
the army of the United States.
At Camp Humphreys there will be
in attendance students from the first,
third and fifth corus areas who will be
given instruction in a course of en-
gineering.
