Plan To Seize Rail
and Coal Plants OFF

Proposals for government opera.
tion of rail and coal properties was
put aside yesterday at least for the
present and administration leaders,
both in and out of congress, centered
their efforts instead on less drastic
measures to meet the industrial
emergency.
With the return to Washington of
President Harding after an over
Sunday conference with some of his
principal advisers on board the
yacht Mayfower, it became appar-
ent that no step toward government
operation was to become a part of
the present administration program
Not only was it revealed that the
president himself was not disposed
to ask for congressional authority
to take over the properties involved
in the strike situation, but it was
made known also that a group of
leaders in the senate had taken a
position that would make passage
of the authorizing legislation ex-
tremely difficult
Meantime, committees in both
branches of congress reported out,
for passage later in the week, bills
recommended by the administration
to strengthen it's hand in controlling
coal distribution by creating a fed
eral distributing agency and by CIV
ing to the interstate commerce COM
mission broader powers over priority
of shipments. In the house the bill
will be taken up today under a rule
providing for six hours Of debate.

-bered that on August 2 Swatow, South
China, was visited by very disas-

uneasy as to their safety. but facts
lately received indicate that Mr..
Cowles and family had left Swatow
June "a for the mountains of central
China, where they were at the time
of the disaster. Mrs. Cowles will be
remembered here as Miss Rebecca

many friends in this section who will

Industries Must Quit
If Strikes Remain

Industry, the country over, must
throw up its hands in surrender"
within few weeks II the rail and
coal strikes continue. Henry Ford
declared Sunday in announcing the
decision of the Ford Motor Company
to close its plant at Detroit. Mich,
and in many other cities September
Is because of the fuel situation.
Mr.. Ford held financial interests
responsible for the industrial tieup,
declaring the money barons" were
manipulating the labor unions and
that public officials, state and ma
tional, we're impotent In the crisis.
The strikes would nd, he contin-
ued, when the majority of the peo-
pie are cold and hungry enough to re-
sort to drastic action"
Continuation of these disturbances
to the economic life of the nation is
due simply to the greed and avarice
of Wall street." Mr.. Ford asserted,
adding that these interests "dominat-
ed the railroads, coal mines and pub
lie utilities of the country"
The deadlock in strike negotiations
indicated, he declared, the existence
of "a plot to unload the demoralized
and rundown railroads onto the gov
ernment at their own price and to
mulct the people through excessive
coal prices"
One hundred and fifty thousand
employees of the Ford company over
the country will be without jobs
when the plants close down. In ad-
dition, several hundred thousand
other workers employed in industries
furnishing materials for the Ford
plants will be affected.
The announcement was the most
severe blow that industrial Detroit
has received since the industrial de-
preston of two years ago. 1t means,
according to Mr.. Ford, that $4,000
men employed in the plants of the
company at Detroit will be without
work. Thirty thousand others in the
assembling plants scattered through
out the entire country will be thrown
out of employment How long the
plants are to be idle will depend upon
the coal supply, the Detroit manu-
facturer said.
Mr.. Ford declared he had mot the
remotest idea" when the plant could
be reopened. 1t was announced that
the normal daily consumption of coal
in the Ford industries was $500 tons,
and although declining to state the
amount on hand at this time. officials
said it would be impossible to do
more than keep the furnaces and
ovens warm"
Only comparatively small num-
ber of employees will be retained dur
ing the shutdown, it was announced.
Announcement was made recently
that Mr.. Ford had installed oil burn
ing furnaces at one of his plants as
an experiment 1t developed Sun
day, however, that only the furnaces
in the machine shops had been con-
verted into oil burners.
Business men and manufacturers
at Detroit were unanimous In declar-
ing that the closing of the Ford
plants might have far reaching ef-
fects on the national economic situa-
ton
