there is no merry-go-round or flying

Converting Next Tuesday Be-
cause Of Troubled Conditions

President Harding was understood To-
Gay to have Informed Representative
Mondell. of Wyoming. and other
House leaders that in view of The
trout led industrial situation il WAS
desirable that there be fun attend
ance OF members next Tuesday when
the House reconvened after a six
weeks adjournment.
The President, ii 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, so far as could
be learned. could say what the nature
of the special legislation would likely
be-
Possible legislation which it was
suggested the President might have
in mind included authorization to take
over the railroads in the event of their
failure to operate to- the point that
the public demands; amendment of
the transportation act to give the rail
road lalor board authority over ques-
tions raised during a strike,-such as
the present troublesome question of
seniority, and amendment of the
transportation act to give force to la
Dor board decisions through imposi-
ton of penalties for violation.
To Answer Harding's Proposals
Heads of all the railroad labor or
ganizations called to meet in Wash
ingtcn Friday will be asked to pass
upon the response of the striking
shop craft union to President Hard
ing's new proposal for settlement OF
the strike, B. M. Jewell, chairman OF
the striking unions, announced to-
day.
Officials of the seven striking unions
will prepare their answer tomorrow
and they anticipate it will be a re-
lection, but will hold it up for con-
sideration at the later session of the

OYSTER SPAT CATCHES
ON PATUXENT SHELLS

Good catches of oyster spat on
shells planted at the mouth OF the
Patuxent about two months ago are
reported by Swepson Earle, engineer
of the State Conservation Commission.
Near Hog Island the young oysters
were twice as large as on the other
side of the river, Mr.. Earle said, due
to a swift current stimulating their
growth. Eighty thousand bushels of
shells were planted at the mouth of
the river Mr.. Earle will leave today
to inspect other areas and survey
oyster bottoms for which leasing ap-
plications have been received.
Oyster beds in various sections are
reported free OF young mussels, he
said, and the indications are for a
good oyster season.

LEVELY NOT NAMED AS
FRANCES MANAGER, IS
CLAIM OF LOCAL c. 0. P.

Friends of Sheriff Harry T. Levely,
Republican, yesterday announced that
he had been designated by United
States Senator Joseph l. France to
act as his campaign manager in Anne
Arundel county. in the fight for his
denomination for the Senate. Said
announcement created considerable
stir among local Republicans. gener-
ally, and members of the County Gen.
trail Committee, in particular
w. Hallam Claude, chairman of the
G. o. p. Central committee, is author
ity for the statement and that Senator
France has not appointed his county
manager for this county. and that the
understanding at Republican State
headquarters is, that whoever is so
named. will be upon the recommen-
dation of the local committee.
In the announcement that Levely
had been selected, it was said that
Senator France desired that man
ayers in the several congressional
districts should be party men not an.
tagonistic to the respective Congress
sional candidates of the party; which
in the local instance means that the
Senator in no way desires to antago
nize Congressman Mudd and hil
friends. Levely is for Mudd, while OF
the other hand, it is said that a mum
Der of other local Republicans are op
posing the Congressman. At an.
rate, dissatisfaction within the rank
of the party seems apparent.
