 ent at First Session Af- ter Six Weeks Recess.
Administration Plans to Act in Present Industrial Crisis-May Take Over Railroads.

Washington. Aug. s. - President Harding was understood today to have informed Representative Mon dell of Wyoming and other house leaders that in view of the troubled industrial situation it was desirable that there be a full attendance of members next Tuesday when the house reconvenes after a six weeks adjournment
 Must Be Prepared
 The president 1t was learned from house leaders, was said to feel that the house should be prepared to en- act such legislation as the industrial situation, particularly the rail strike. might make necessary. None of the leaders 50 far as could be learned, has been informed as to whether the president had any specific legislation in mind and if he had what was it's nature.
 The desires of the president were considered as certain to prevail over the altogether tentative plan being considered by leaders for series of three day recesses until the tariff bill passes the senate.
 May Take Over Roads
 Possible legislation which 1t was suggested the president might have in mind included authorization to take over the railroads in event of their failure to operate to the point that the country demands; amendment of the transportation act to give the railroad labor board authority over questions arising during a strike such as the president troublesome question of seniority and amendment of the transportation act to give force to labor board decisions through impo- sition of penalties for violations.

WORK IS STARTED ON
 NEW COMFORT STATION
S23,570 Structure Will Prob. ably Be Opened Not Later
 Than September 15

Twenty-Five years of agitation for | municipal comfort station resulted in the beginning of operations on such a building this morning when the steel spikes of a huge steam shovel broke ground at the south end of Central park for the first shovel of dirt in the construction of s23,57o structure.
 Though the building of a comfort station, only slight changes in the physical appearance of the park will be brought about. The present con- crete walks, grassy banks and the public sign post will be replaced. In addition there will be a monumental ventilating shaft of artificial stone, so constructed as net to be an eye-sore but rather to carry the appearance of an auxiliary to the soldiers monu- ment Also, there will be two en- frances to the underground structure, one on the west side of the park al- most opposite the Boston store, to be used by the women, and one near the trolley car starters stand, for use by men.

Shortage of Food Menaccs Sur7f- vors While Bandits Raid Homes and Pedestrians-Town Heap of Ruins.

Hong Kong, Aug. 8, (By Associated Press) ).-Typhoon stricken Swatow, a mangled and miserable caricature of the port of a week ago, doggedly goes about the first ghastly task that falls to the survivors of the storm burial of the dead
 2S,00O Bodies Recovered.
 Bodies of 2S,0o0 have been recov- cred, death toll that triples former estimates and cuts in half the former population of the native city. These figures were given in a circular is- sued by the Swatow Chamber of Commerce from its branch in Hong Kong.
 Rude cofHns have been hammered together with lumber salvaged from the wreck of the city. But these cannot be knocked together fast enough to dispose of bodies which are sanitary menace. Gunny sacks and mattress bags have been, made into crude shrouds. Graves are hur- riediy dug in the alluvial flats on which the port was built that bodies may be inferred as they are recovered from the wreckage.
 Food Supply Limited.
 Shortage of foods may prove an- other menace.
 Bandits making grim capital of the citys disaster are reported to have raided homes and robbed pedestrians in the native section. Ghouls sought to loot the dead, but were promptly stopped by native police.
 A Heap of Ruins.
 Swatow is a heap of ruins. The tidal wave which swept the road along the harbor while the storm was at it's height completed the devastation which the storm started. Three steamers caught in the storm were piled on the beach. Smaller craft demolished when they sought shelter in Swatow harbor add to the tangle on the water front.
 Bodies of many victims have drift ed out to sea. They have been sight ed by steamers as far as Is miles from the devastated port. Many will never be recovered.

New Haven Herring.

New Haven, Aug s.-Claiming that the specific terms of the Clayton act
 had not been followed, counsel for
 the striking shopmen here today asked
 Judge Edwin S. Thomas of the U. s.
 distFict court to dismiss the second application of the N. Y, N. H. and H. railroad for the issuance of tenn porary injunction at a hearing in fed- eral court. Three Hour Recess. c. M. Sheafe, Jr, counsel for the railroad maintained that the second application was perfectly legal but asked the court for reasonable re- cess to give him time to examine the |three-hours recess and hearing was to be resumed at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 Mir. Sheafe in his reply to c. J. Danaher, counsel for the, shopmen, said that he was tired of the postpone ment of the hearing because of tech nicalities but added that he hoped "Banquo's ghost would be laid" when the hearing was resumed today. Must Follow Law.
 Mir. Danaher answered that he had no objections to getting on with the vital importance to adhere stricly to the terms of the law.
 When the hearing was opened, the absence of an official stenographer caused a delay and 1t was 11:l5 be- fore the session was resumed. Mir. Danaher immediately made a motion for the dismissial of the application. He maintained that the court had no legal right in issuing the second re- straining order. He said:
 The terms of the Clayton act re- ouire that the application must be in writing and must be sworn to by the applicant or by his agent. This ap- plication is not sworn to and the court had no power to issue the restraining order"
 Mir Danaher also said that other provisions of the act had not been strictly adhered to which he claimed gave the court no jurisdiction over the case.
 Calls Error Trival.
 Mir. Sheafe complained of the delays In hearing the case and said that rules of legal procedure required that case proceed despite 'trival errors of form" He then asked for recess so that he might look up similar cases and answer Mir. Danaher's motion.
 This Is the second time that a hear. Ing on the issuance of an injunction has been held. The first hearing was on July 2s when the application of the company was dismissed because mistakes in the papers were found.
 Counsel for the company were MT. Sheafe. George D. Watrous and Nor nan s. Buckingham for the shopmen Mr. Danaher and Arthur B. O'keefe.
 Interest among the striking shop nen here today was centered in the nearing before Judge Thomas.
 The strike statement of the New Haven road said that additional orces have been recruited since yes- erday to the extent of l25 skilled me- ,hanics A number of former employees who have been on strike have re- turned to the service at several difs erent points"
 The statement also says that there Ire less bad order freight can on 1and at present than were on hand 1t the beginning of the strike.
