Hagerstown division, tclephoned Pres
iicnt Maxwell c. Byers, in Baltimore,
for help. It is said he asked That

forcn members Of the larger brother

said. led to rumors in Hagertown last
nicht that. If The attitude Of the road
officials toward them is not changed,
'he brotherhood &c Locomotive Fire

President Harding, it was an
nourced today, has had several confer
ences with Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Blair and Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Dover over patronage
matters in the Internal Revenue De-
partment. So far as could be ascer-
tanned no charges nave been filed at
the White House against the retention
Of Commissioner Blair as Internal
Revenue commissioner, and that the
stories about friction between the two
officials have been largely worked up
from the imagination. 1t was stated
today at the White House that the
President does not anticipate any
trouble in that particular branch Of
the Treasury Department, and { as ne
is the final arbiter in all such cases, it
is expected that the whole case will be
seized without further friction.

Remembering n recent misfortune
that resulted from too much executive
admonition to the people in regard TO
a congressional election, President
Harding will not take the stump to
work for the return of Republican
Congress next November, It was said
at the White House today.
Woodrow Wilson's appeal in 1913
for the election of a Democratic Con-
gress, which was regarded as one ct
the causes for the Democratic defeat
of that year, is still fresh IN the minh
of tho Nations Executive, and while
the President hopes, and will continue
TO hone. for the election of a Repub-
lican Congress. in all probability he
will be in Alaska during much of the
coming campaign, and not take the
stump and "haranguc" the multitude.

The Internal Revenue Bureau of the
Treasury Department is to be Hard
ingiZed." In other words, under the
direction of Elmer Dover, assistant
secretary of the Treasury, officials
high and low and occupying positions
of influence and profit who are not IN
sympathy with the Republican Ad-
ministration are to be dismissed.
This bureau is going to be given a
systematic "house-cleaning, so to
speak, as careful investigation
which has been under way for many
months, and which gained headway
through the appointment of Mr.. Do
yer to supervise the Internal Revenue
Bureau and Customs departments OF
the treasury. Officials holding Federal
Jobs of profit and honor under him,
if they are not in entire sympathy
with the Republican Administration
and its policies, are to be separated
from the Government payroll. And
the changes are already being made.
Dover was put in his present posi-
tion fo rthe avowed purpose of getting

The appointment of William Phil.
lips as undersecretary of State and OF
I Gland Harrison as assistant secre-
tary of State marks the beginning of
"merit' policy in American dlplo-
matte affairs that has long been agi-
tated but which has persistently been
held M because of demands from poll
ticians for the appointment OF polit-
cal workers to diplomatic posts.
Secretary Of State Hughes made the
appointments strictly on the merit ba
sis. politicians not being consulted in
the appointment of either man. and it
is understood that not even Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, was consult
ed in regard to the appointment Of
Phillips. who halls from his State.
The fact that Mr.. Phillips had been
connected with the Wilson admlnistra-
ton did not deter Secretary Hughes
from appointing him to the second
place in the State Department, as it
is his policy to fill all vacancies in
the State Department by the promo
ton of some good man in the service.

been wont to air their scandals un-
