CoNKEY's CACKLE

The 300-egg hen is the product OF
better poultry methods.
Without selected and balanced feeds
tonics, disinfectants and generally
better care Mrs. -300-Egger wouldn't
be with US.
But just as better methods have
brought the S00-egg hen, so has she
in turn shown the world that it can
be done and taught everyone to expect
more from the feeds and tonics they
buy. -
Why doesn't every poultry raiser
realize this and act accordingly? All
of us should know by this time that
selling low-grade feeds is like build
ing . house on shifting sands.
Poultry raisers are beginning to
know that hens, properly fed, kept in
condition with a real tonic and pro-
tected from disease with dependable
sanitation, will give fully satisfactory
returns. They are, therefore, going
to give little consideration to dealers
and manufacturers who are not striv-
ing conscientiously to help them make

CONGRESS- MAY ACT
IN STRIKE CRISIS
Legislative Action Is Possibility If
President Plans For Settle
ment Fail.

Washington, Aug. S.-Presiden
Harding has asked congressional
leaders, in view Of the menacing in.
dustrial situation arising from Goa
and rail strikes, to hold the house
now in recess, continuously in ses-
sion, along with the senate, after the
house reconvenes next Tuesday.
The prospect was that, failing early
settlement of the labor controversies,
the administration might call for
legislative action to enable the
government to cope with the situation
Meanwhile, the leaders of all rail
union organizations began to gather
in Washington for conference to de-
termine the response to President
Harding's latest offer of settlement
basis for the seven railroad unions
now on strike, and to determine what
action the labor forces shall take in
case the presidents offer is rejected.
B. M. Jewell, chairman of the
group Of officers of the striking un-
ions, declared that he had received
hundreds of kilograms today from
locals of the shop crafts telling us
to reject the presidents offer and not
a single one asking its acceptance"
Separate conferences between the
Southern Railway officials and rep
resentatives of the striking shopmen
on its lines, broke up finally today
when the men declared that only a |
national settlement of the strike could |
be accepted by them, even though the
railroad conceded seniority rights to !
returning strikers.
Suggestions were advanced that
congress might be asked to authorize
resumption Of federal control over
the railroad systems should President
Harding find it impossible to termin-
ate the strike satisfactorily.
Cabinet members considered it
likely that the whole situation might
be put up to congress in special
presidential message, should prevail
ing difficulties continue to multiply.
