PROMISE HARDING
BETTER TEAMWORK
Continued from First Page.

TO redeem the pledges OF the party
would make Il present OF many seats
in both branches of Congress to the
Democrats next November"
He told the President and the Rep
resentatives of both houses of Congress
that he had received many letters from
all sections OF the country expressing
dissatisfaction with the record of the
party during the last ten months. Many
of these letters. he said, came from
business man and manufacturers and
contained the information that industry
generally is demoralized because of un-
certainty as to the provisions OF the
new tariff measure, which is still under
consideration.
Chairman Adams also informed the
President and Representatives of the
two houses that the demand for a
soldiers bonus was growing in favor
throughout the country. IIe urged that
some legislative method be devised for
satisfying the demand for bonus.
This and the tariff law. he said. ap-
peared TO be the most important causes
for growing dissatisfaction among the
voters Mr.. Adams said il was the
opinion of leaders OF State organiza-
tions with whom he had talked that the
most complete and immediate coopera-
tion between the Executive and legis-
lative branches and of the two houses
of Congress was absolutely necessary
and without further loss OF time.
Unnecessary Alarm.
Some of the participants in the Presi-
dental conference indorsed the views
expressed by the national chairman.
although the majority OF them. who look
at things through the not always ac-
curate lenses of Congressional grinding,
to-day expressed the opinion that he was
unnecessarily alarmed.
One or two of the participants in the
conference admitted. however, that the
reports from their own States indicated
a loss of prestige as q result of the con-
ditions prevailing in Congress. Others
described the confidence that existed
among their Democratic colleagues over
the prospect of wrestling control of the
lower house at the coming election.
The consensus appeared to be that
no unnecessary time should be lost in
putting through the most important
features demanded by political exigen-
cies Senator Lodge and Mr.. Mondell,
the leaders of the two houses, outlined
the program favored by them and in
dicated complete sympathy with the
suggestion that pending legislation
should be disposed of as soon as possi-
BILE and an early adjournment taken
to give the country a rest.
All the participants in the confer
ence expressed qualification over the re-
suit of it, although no hard and fast
decisions were reached. 1t was the un-
derstanding OF Senators, Representatives
and party leaders who participated in
the White House parley that the leaders
of the two houses will agree upon a
program to be followed as soon as pos
sible and that there would be no un-
necessary delay in putting it through.
The activities of the agricultural bloc
We're only briefly discussed. The Presi-
dent, while not expressing disapproval
of the general purposes for which this
obstructive faction was organized, re-
peatcd the hope already expressed by
him that the resolution directing him to
appoint a dirt farmer" on the Federal
Reserve Board would be withheld.
