Washington, D. c., July A.-Gov-
ernment measures to relieve the
emergency In the rail and coal
strikes amount at the moment sim
ply to regulation. There is to be
no control of the railroads in the
sense in which such powers were
exercised during the war. There is
to be NO seizure Of coal properties
by the federal government But
the federal government will lend
its help in the ALLEGATION of such
coal as is mined and In the move
ment OF such trains as have the
men and equipment to keep them
moving.
The impression that the govern
ment will take over railroad and
mines and make wage agreements
with employees is erroneous. The
steps taken by the federal govern
ment are merely to make best use
of such coal production as is min
ed and such railroad equipment a!
is available. Nothing has beer
done vet by the government tovart

ward compelling men to return Z

Situation Unchanged

legislation can be passed which
can force strikers back to work
The issues remain virtually tn
same-the decision rests entirel,
with the railroad executives ant

labor unions on the other.

Washington. July 24.-The Chem
ical Foundation and its president,
Francis P. Garvan, former alien
property custodian, who are being
proceeded against BY the govern
ment for the return Of German
chemical patents, were defended in
the senate today by Senator Under
wood Of Alabama, Democratic lead
er, who criticized President Hard
ing and the administration for the
action taken against them.
Denying that there was fraud,
collusion or conspiracy in the ac-
qusition OF the German patents by
the Chemical Foundation, Senator
Underwood also commended the rec
ord of A. Mitchell Palmer, former
attorney general and former alien
property custodian, in dealing with
an enemy alien property.
German interests, Senator Under
wood said, were supporting the ad-
ministration's course against the
Chemical Foundation in the hope,
he said, OF securing restitution of
property and also damage claims
tor its use.
Oppose Claims Commission.
! The senator's statements were
made during an address in support
Of his recent bill to create an Amer
lean commission ito press American
damage claims against Germany
and Austria, using enemy alien
property seized as a pledge for pay
ment. Mr.. Underwood opposed the
administration plan forsa joint
claims commission or another
treaty to deal with the claims, de-
claring there was no necessity for
further negotiations with Germany
on the subject. He reviewed al
length the alien property legisla-
ton and cited figures showing that
1 property worth $500, ,00o, 900 was
taken over and control secured OF
4 200 alien corporations.
| Quoting from Mr.. P1lmer's report
on enemy alien property, Senator
Underwood said that the $3.50, DOT
paid BY the Chemical Foundation in
securing rights to the 5000 German
chemical patents was adequate
when the governments right to use
