the Cabinet yesterday devoted
much time to consideration of the

would permit not only of the ex-
position of the administration atti-
tude on measures. but questioning
of the officials by Representatives
and Senators.
Such procedure Is the practice in
the British parliament. where mem
bers of the cabinet personally lead
debate on pending issues. There
would be one marked difference
however. under the proposal IA
vored by President Harding and his
Cabinet. In the British parliament
an adverse vote on a measure es-
poused by the government is re-
garded as a vote of lack of con-
fidence and frequently is followed
by resignation of the cabinet
This, of course, would not be fol-
lowed here.
Three measures already are pend
ing in Congress designed to give
executive officials a voice on the
floor Two of these-one by Rep
resentative Montague, OF Virginia
and the other by representative
Kelly. of Pennsylvania. are iden.
tical and would permit members OF
the Cabinet to have seats in each
chamber two days out of each
week. The thirdly Senator Nc
Lean-would give this privilege to
the heads not only of the depart
ments, but numerous commissions

hope they will be able to force the

now that such an effort will be
successful.

intermittently in the coal fields of
West Virginia broke out afresh
today. when a mob of 500 strikers

height another crowd of 400 strik-
ing miners near Fairmont started

to interfere IL trouble threatened.
So far no disorders have been re-
