Justice Holmes of Supreme
Court Goes to Hospital to
Undergo Serious Operation

pital his friends manifested much
uneasiness about him with the re-
suit that his attending physicians
issued a reassuring bulletin to al
lay their fears.
Justice Holmes is in his SD year
He reached the retirement age of
the supreme court several years
ago. Washington looked for his
retirement with the advent of the
Harding administration. One of
the stories at the time was that
Justice Holmes and two other
members of the court desired TO
retire but that they did not wish to
give President Wilson the oppor-
tunity of naming their successors
and SO they decided to hold over
until there had been a change in
the White house.
Talk Of Retirement.
At that time Justice Holmes
health was poor and it was sug-
gested that he would like to be re-
lieved of his arduous duties. But
there came improvement very soon
and finally talk of retirement died
away. His friends point ont as proof
that he never seriously considered
relinQuishing his position, that only
recently he was searching here in
Boston for a young lawyer to act
as his private secretary. But they
likewise fully realize that, because

HARDING SAYS
FARMERS NEED
SHIP SUBSIDY
Clues Reasons For
Adequate Merch-
ant Marine.

Washington, June 30.-Discuss-
mg the ship subsidy proposal and
the relations of agriculture to an
adequate American merchant ma
rine with 4 group of farmers rep
resentatives at White house din
ner conference last night, Presi-
dent Harding was said to have en-
phasized the belief that it was no
longer possible for the agricultural
interests to be Independent of over
seas trade.
Speaking for the president after
the dinner, Chairman Lasker of
the shipping board, one of those at
tending, quoted Mr.. Harding as de-
claring that agricultural produc-
tion in the United States was as
closely linked to world trade as the
manufacturing industry. This, the
president was said to have stated,
was true not only because of the
necessity of foreign markets for the
surplus raw food products of the
nation, but because the manufac-
turer could not take care of the
products of the farm unless a for
eign market was assured to him
through an American merchant
marine.
Discuss Farm Credits.
The president also was said to
have stated that the necessity for
salyaging the nations investment
in great merchant marine as a
war emergency already, in effect,
had engaged the government in ship
subsidizing, and thus destroyed for
mer arguments against embarking
on a subsidiary policy.
The question of farm credits al
so was said to have been discussed
at the dinner. The presidents
guests, after raising the matter of
pending legislation designed to
avail longer credits to farmer bor-
rowers, were said to have favored
consolidation of the various bills
for that purpose and the president
to have expressed desire to be
helpful in this object
The dinner also was attended by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
Chairman Cooper of the senate ag-
ricultural bloc, and Senator Charles
B. Barrett of the National Farmers
union, among the farmers repre-
sentatives.

Herrin, ILL.,, June 30.-(By the
Associated Press) was
reported quiet in the Williamson
county mining field today, and the
region apparently has returned to
normal after the war between
striking union miners and non-un-

A grand jury investigation of the
disorders, in which more than a
score of miners and strike break
ers were killed and many wound
ed, has been called to start July 10.
Pumpmen and caretakers of the
idle mines, who left their posts and
the shafts open to ruination as a
result of receiving warnings to
leave, have gone back to work
with assurances from officials of
the miners union that they would
not be molested.

Washington. D. c., June 30.-The
administration doesn't know wheth-
er to be sorry or glad over the out
come of the Republican primaries
in North Dakota wherein Senator
McCumber, chairman of the finance
committee of the senate, leader of
the fight for the bonus and one of
the general managers of the farm
bloc movement, appears to have
been beaten by Lynn Frazier, for
mer governor and radical chieftain
of the Non-Partisan league.
The question is impersonal, for
Mr.. McCumber himself is well lik-
ed. His political equation, how
ever, excites no great enthusiasm
at the executive end Of Pennsylva-
MIA avenue, for Mr.. McCumber has
showed the bonus bill forward and
otherwise put a crimp in admins
tration plans in the senate. 1t was
with considerable trepidation that
the announcement of Mr.. McCum-
ber's elevation to the chairmanship
of the all-powerful senate finance
committee was received after Mr.
Penrose's death.
Sm0ot Was Favorite.
1t is known, for instance, that
Mr.. McCumber wanted to sidetrack
the tariff and give the bonus bill
right of way. In many ways he
has been useful to the Republican
administration but the favorite for
craftsmanship was Reed Smoot of

Chicago, June 3O.-(By The As

sealed by the labor board at the

accept the wage reduction edict of

Some rail officials contend still
that shopmen's strike would not
