was I'm effect that President Harding
did not consider the draft an in
fringement on citizens rights and
liberties in time OF great emergency.
A high administration official said
today that any drafting OF labor
would be favored by the president
only in an emergency of extreme
character. II was stated that wrong
impression had been gained from
the White House attitude. The draft
is not near and has not even been
considered, II was stated. The pres

citizens OF the nation to do anything
considered wise to end menace to
the countrys safety. He was said
to have in mind an appeal to the
workers, rather than forceful draft
under the military branch of the
government, such as has been used
in France during national strikes.
The president is confident. it was

to the citizens of the nation would
be promptly answered, without en-

men got set for a long drawn out
strike today, following virtual failure
of peace negotiations.
Fundamental differences" prevent
the strikers and railroad officials
from reaching an Immediate basis of
agreement, Chairman Ben w. Hooper
of the United States labor board,
who has been acting as mediator,
announced.
Hooper, although not giving up all
hopes of an immediate settlement,
said that either the union or the
company officials would have to
back down. He is continuing con-
ferences with union officials and
railroad heads.
The strike leaders, foreseeing
walk-out which may continue months,
began selection of fighting force"
This force will be composed of
about 10 to 20 per cent of the strik-
ers and will take charge of picketini
and other such activities. They will
be assisted by wives and sisters of
all strikers.
The remaining 80 per cent Will
take jobs, other than railroad work.
This plan, union leaders believe,
will lesson the chances Of violence
by having fewer unemployed near
shops which railroads attempt to
operate with strikebreakers.
1t will also help build up strike
benefit fund. Strikers who take
other employment will be expected to
contribute one days wage each
month to the support of the flight
ing force"

(BY The United Press.l

Washington, July 15.-Hope of end
ing the grave industrial crisis facing
the country because of the coal and
rail strikes suddenly faded here to-
day.
Despite threats of President Hard
ing to seize and operate the coal
mines and the railroads, il such ac-
tion is necessary to save the country
from a serious coal famine or an
extensive rail tie-up, failure looms
for the executive plan to end the
coal dispute.
The United Mine Workers policy
committee, meeting here today to
frame an answer to the presidents
arbitration proposal, is virtually GER
tain TO reject it. A previously favor
able attitude toward the plan was
suddenly changed into one of hos
tility by the refusal of Harding to
agree to notifications of the pro-
posal as asked by John L. Lewis and
other union leaders.
Grave concern exists in official
circles over the turn of the events
and the maze of intricate problems
arising in both disputes as precedent
to a settlement.
1t is realized that unless prompt
termination of the coal strike is Sc
cured, not enough coal can be moved
into some parts of the country, par
ticularly New England and the north
west, to prevent shortages there this
winter.
Government Marks Time.
The federal government today was
marking time on the question Of
using troops in the rail strike. Pres
ident Harding is believed to have put
the brakes on Immediate despatch"
of the army to rail centers, such as
Denison, Texas, where violence has
occurred. He has determined that
before troops are sent to any region
an official investigation must be
made. A report from the army in
vestigator sent to Denison is not
expected before tonight.
Harding will have prompt support
from group in congress if he
moves to seize and operate the mines.
An emergency coal control bill,
empowering the president to take
over and operate coal mines until
tho oountrv's winter needs have heeu
provided for may be presented in
| the senate within few days.
