in the Offices of the two senators,

morning. -,
Acceptance of the proposal would
eliminate the troublesome arbitra-
ton issue, thus far the stumbling
block to all peace discussions. The
principal point at issue, provided the
arbitration question is waived, is the
length Of the new contract. The MIN
ers have been insistent on negotlat-
ing a new contract, based on the 1920
wage scale, to last until April J.,
1924. Indications, however. were that
they would accept contract dated TO
April l. 1923.
John L. Lewis, said that If the
question of arbitration were out of
the way. the other questions "would
not be insurrountable."

Players Offer Services-Firemen
to Take Part

Alexandria is to have Historical
Pageant all its own which shall
compare with the Virginia State
Historical Pageant held in Richmond
last spring in every respect except
size. The pageant, according to plans
now rapidly being whipped into
shape, will be presented on Dread
naught Park on the evenings Of Sep
tember 12 and 13, weather permitting
There are to be four big scenes:
''The Baptism and Marriage of Po-
cahontas," featuring Miss Nancy
Wattles; "The Braddock Scene" in
which the Alexandria Fire Depart
ment won distinction at Richmond,
will be given by the same cast; pat
rick Henry Scene" will be given by
the same cast that appeared in the
Braddock scene; "Amusements of
the Colonial Period" will be given by
specially selected cast from the
ranks of the Columbian Players, who
will also take big part in the stag
ing of the entire affair. Costumes
will be furnished by Van Horn, of
Philadelphia
The services of Frank A. Steele as
stage manager have been secureed
and Miss Mahon, assistant to Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes as superintendent
of the Washington Fairgrounds, will
instruct in the minuet. Mr.. Steele
will also take the part of Patrick
Henry in the scene depicting the life
of that great American patriot.
The first of a series of rehearsals
was held in Elks Hall last night.
/ The Columbian Players, who are fa-
nous for their work in amateur
: theatricals, have offered the services
of many of their players. The next
rehearsal will be held Thursday night
at Elks Hall and at this time Miss
Mahon will meet those who have
been selected for the minuet and be-
gin her instruction while Mr.. Steele
takes care of the instruction of those
who may have speaking parts.
f. ]. McDermott, chief of the
Alexandria Fire Department, has
promised the services of those who
appeared in Richmond.
While the plans have not beer
fully made, it is stated that this will
be one of the greatest undertakings
of this kind to have ever been at
! tempted in this city.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Congress
will not enact emergency legislation
authorizing seizure of the railroads
and idle ccal mines except in the
immediate presence of an absolute
crisis-such as does not exist now.
This. a virtually complete poll OF
sentiment in both the Senate and
House showed today, is the reaction
on "Cauitol Hill" to the official
White House statement that Presl-
dent Harding wants congress, before
it adiourns. to arm him with the
power to take over the rail and coal
properties, as a last resort, and ope-
rate them in the public welfare.
Reaction against the White House
suggestion that seizure legislation be
passed now, for possible use in final
emergency alter, was immediate and
pronounced in both Senate and House
and among Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. Many senators and congress
men expressed the doubt as to whe--
ther such legislation could be passed
in any event, and practically all
agreed that seizure act could be
put through only when it was Ger
tain that it was the one move left
that would stop industrial paralysis
and severe hard ships.
Only a few members were found
who believed that seizure legislation
should, or could, be pushed through
at this time.
Republican leaders, anxiously seek
ing word straight from the White
House on the presidents intentions,
were relieved today by the assurance
that Mr.. Harding does not intend to
officially request congress to grant
him seizure powers. BY some admins
tratfon leaders, the fear was frankly
expressed that an open break might
come between the president and his

ments. There Is limit to the
amount Of new equipment which
can b delivered in thknear future
and there also is thf question Of
financing purchases OF new cars.
Eoth carriers and manufacturers,
therefore, are turning their atten-
ton toward efficient operation OF
Equipment and to more economical
and effective loading. Cars prob
ably Will carry Individually q great
er tonnage than ever before II
present plans IRE successful.
So far there has been little diff
Guilty in funding equipment pur-
chases and It is probable that the
roads will continue to add to their
rolling stock throughout the entire
coming year. The Chicago, Bur-
linEton & Quincy. for example, has
just ordered 90 freight locomotives
for, delivery In the next three
months.
Roads are improving roadbeds
and lumber companies are being
besieged with orders for ties and
heavy bridge timbers. The lumber
requirements of new freight cars
alone will be OF huge proportions
next year. Tie orders from Eng
lish and East Indian roads also are
pfling up. A number Of new cut
offs and additions will be built by
carriers before the new year is
three months old. Indication of
this activity is seen in the an
nouncement that the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company will start up its
rail mill Jan. as well as two ad-
ditfonal blast furnaces. Heavy rail
orders are pouring into the middle
west steel plants.

Asman culture II to perish \ Will
not be for lack Of sunshins.- This
startling and Whimsical statement
wa1 made IN the course q Z recent
lecture by DR., 6vante ArfAsnius,
the Swedish authority on astfuphy-
sics, in which he explained certain
theories and dt1coverfes regarding
solar conditions.
Suppose the sun were mass
Of COAL" said Or. Arfhenius In
order to illustrate his problem.
Giving forth. heat energy 1t the
present rate, It would then have
lasted only 1000 years, Of. about
half as long ~ the period Of
known human history. But since
there were living things Of some
kind on earth at least 1000, 000, 900
years ago, and since there has evi-
IDENTIFY been very little deteripra-
tion Of the sun during that period
of time. any theory Of the expend.-
ture .pf solar energy must provide
for upwards Of one hundred billion
years." >
Though it is difficult to interpret
DIR. Arrhenius in popular language,
It may be Of interest to state his
general theory. Heavenly bodies
begin as cold nebulous masses Of
hydrogen, phelium and the, so-called
nebulium. Light then arises
through photography. The hy-
drosen IL condensed to form the
other two elements, helium oand ne
bulium, and from these develop a
whole series of heavier elements,
the most abundant Of which is iron.
After this stage has been passed,
the radioactive elements again re-
solve themselves into unstable ele-
ments and produce helium. This
chemical process, going on in cy-
cles, accounts for the lavish pro-
duction Of light and heat by the
sun.
Arc Never Dead.
What becomes Of dead suns and
stars? DR.. Arrhenfus replied to
this question that celestial bodies
which have burned out may flame
up again in case they happen to
wander into nebulous regions
where condensation and production
of heat again takes place, Thus he
explained the discoveries Of new
stars which are frequently an
nounced by astronomers.
DIR. Arrhenius paid tribute to
the successful work of American
astronomers, remarking wistfully
that, in addition to bright skies,
they are also favored by ample
funds for research and experiment.
