CONGRESS WORKED
UP ABOUT STRIKES
Crisis Calls for Acknowledgement
Blame PresIdent--Many Would
Leave Matters to States.

Washington. August 25.-Congre5s
has begun its branstorm on the coal
strike ~
For months the situation has been
drifting without Intervention by the
government, Now that coal supplies
are low and the deadlock between the
miners and operators in the anthra.
cite fields continues, the outbursts
from individual members of Congress
are fiery.
1t is typical of other crises-nothing
Is done until the situat on is acute
and then there are all sorts of excusa-
tions as to who is responsible for al
lowing the crisis to develop. The
Democrats are blaming President
Harding for procrastinat!on. Members
of Congress Of both parties are re-
luotant to pass any legislation just be-
fore the coming elections. They ex-
pect the chief executive to settle the
trouble and get the coal
In the midst OF it all there has
broken out another conflict between
the two schools of thought who be-
lieye respectively In centralized gov
ernment and the autonomy of the
states. Senator Borah is vehement
a champion of states rights as any
JeGersonian Democrat He recon.
mended the action of Gov. Miller In
ealing the state Legislature In spe.
cial session to handle the coal emer.
gency
Pres dent Harding and members Of
the cabinet, like Herbert Hoover, be-
lieve this is situation for the In
dNidual states to handle They recog.
nize the doubt which exists as to the
constitutional right of the federal
government to seize any coal mine.
They acknowledge that no such doubt
prevails with respect to the power
of the several states.
Gov. Sproul Of Pennsylvania, in
whose state the big anthracite field
lies, is one of the state executives
who is known to be ready to exercise
his powers to the fullest extent to sup
ply coal for the nation If the dead
lock is unbreakable, action from the
governor Of Pennsylvania can be ex-
pected and 1t will have the warm
moral support of the White House.

GOVERNMENT To
TAKE OVER MINES
AND RAILROADS
Plan of Administration Unless
Situation Changes Soon
WAGE SCALE TO BE FIXED
Miners Will Then Be Ordered
Back to Work in Anthra-
cite Fields

Washington, Aug. 26.--The ad
ministratlon will seek legislation
from Congress authorizing the TAX
ing over OF certain railroads and
anthracite mines IL there is not q
radical improvement in the indus
trial situation within a few days, II
was indicated last night after Sena.
tor Cummns, chairman of the Senate
interstate commerce committee, and
AttorneyGeneral Daugherty had
conferred with President Harding
for more than an hour.
Railroads will be given an oppor
tunity to demonstrate their ability to
furnish adequate service, it was de
clared, but those which cannot give
proper service will be taken over by
the government under present plans
II production OF anthracite Is not re
sumed within few days. it was
added a bill will be introduced in
Congress to authorize the govern
ment to take over the mines and pro
duce coal. Legislation to enable such
seizures, Senator Cummins predicted
would quickly be rushed through
Congress.
The conference at the White House
was held after President Harding
had discussed the entire industrial
situation with the cabinet at its regu
lar meeting, and after the New York
rail conference had been terminated
with out result.
Before the conference the ground
work had been laid through admins
tration oyertures for further meet
ing between the parties to the antha
cite dispute to be held next week at
some point in Pennsylvania. 1t
was indicated that certain proposals
would be made which it was hoped
would bring about an adjustment OF
the difficulty which disrupted the
sessions at Philadelphia earlier this
week.
While no detailed explanation was
given as to how the government
would operate anthracite mines il
the event of their seizure, it was in
ticated that the first step would bt
to fix a wage scale and then request
or direct the miners to return t
work. Coal mined, it was stated
would be marketed through the regu
lar commercial channels, the govern
ment taking steps to prevent possible
profteering. u
The bituminous situation did no
enter into the discussion, the confer
ees agreeing that this industry gradu
ally was getting back to normal
The ability of the roads to move Goa
from the mines, in the view of off
Gals, constitutes an important ele
ment in this connection, however
and may prove a determining facto
as to the necessity for federal oper
alton of carriers.

GUARANT0RS Of
CHAUTAUQUA To
PAY S15.72 EACH
Mr.. Persons Efforts Reduced
the Burden
is NOT COMING AGAIN
Local Guarantors Feel That Com
munity Company Didn't Do
It's Proper Share
is NOT COMING AGAIN

Bennington guarantors OF the Com.
munity Chautauqua are today paying
Sl5.72 each for the privilege OF un.
tlerwrltlng series OF entertainments
that the public apparently does not
desire.
That the payment is not more than
twice as much Is due to the energy
and efforts OF Philip T. H. Plerson
who has borne the whole brunt OF the
Chautauqua campaign and has saved
the guarantors much more than they
are compelled to pay.
The Community Chautauqua closes
Its series here tonight. Some OF its
Entertainments have been good and
there has been complaint relative to
some, particularly at the exact dupli.
cation OF programs last year not of
exceptional merit.
The out OF town managers of this
l,Chautauqua have not even invited
Bennington folks to sign up a guaran-
tee list for next year, evidently rea.
Ilizlng that such request would not
be received with enthusiasm.
The local guarantors feel that the
management of the affair from the
headquarters OF the Community Chau-
tauqua has been very poor When
they wanted to come here they were
strong in claims Of cooperation but
when the actual showdown came, the
responsibility was left entirely to
the local committee.
At that the Bennington guarantors
have gotten off easier than those at
NBrattleboro who had to pay $35 each
while in other towns the amount has
varied considerably.
