No Drastic Step Imminent.
/, Senator Watson. when he left the
White House, set at rest rumors
that the Government had in con.
temptation any Immediate Seizure"
of the railroads or mines. With
Chairman Adams, he discussed the
industrial situation with the Presi-
dent for an hour. When he left he
yentured the opinion that no drastic
step on the part OF the Government
was imminent.
Neither Senator Watson no Chair
man Adams would discuss In detail

but Il was stated that Mr.. Adams
was interested in the Industrial situa'
tion from the standpoint OF its ef-
feet on the national political cam

Day of Wrangling
Leaves Hard Coal
Puzzle UnsOlved
BY j. BART CAMPBELL
International News Service.

After a day OF fruitleSS wrangling
over what should or should not be
done to meet the crisis resulting
from a failure to end the strike in
the anthracite coal fields, Congress
last night left unanswered the grave
question OF how hard coal can be
produced and distributed during the
coming winter in quantities suffi.
eient to prevent widespread distress
r-or even freezing.
Chairman Cummins Of the Inter.
state Commerce Committee, an
nounced he had bill prepared which
would authorize President Harding
TO take over the equipment of the
mines In an effort to fill the nations
empty bins IL the anthracite strike
IL not soon settled.
Senator Watson, Of Indiana. nd.
ministration spokesman, after a con.
ference with President Harding at
the White House. at which Republican
National Chairman John T. Adams
was present. said II was not the
Presidents intention to seize the an.
thracite mines, but merely to have
the Government avail itself OF their
facilities for mining coal in case the
operators and miners were unable to
end the anthracite strike.
Republican Senators who were In
touch with the White House during
the day expressed the belief that the
strike might be terminated by mid
night as a result OF fresh negotia-
tions between spokesman for the
operators and miners at Philadel'
phia, but none of them were willing
to state upon what they based their
optimism.
They were pessimistic, however,
when their attention was directed to
the probability of acute hard coal
shortages even IL the strike were
soon settled, and an announcement
by the Geological Survey that the
production OF anthracite IS now nil
fell like a pail upon them as tele-
graphic protests and appeals con-
tinued to pour in from States whose
homes are dependent upon anthra.

After the Senate dropped tho
Borah coal commission bill for the
soldiers bonus bill under an unani.

give the latter the right of way over
all other pending legislation, Sen
ator Dial Dem) Of South Caorlina,
declared that so far as the coal sit.

might as well quit and go home.
Our being here has gotten this
whole coal question into a terrible

best motion that could be made in

that Congress adjourn sine die.

Hiram Johnson, it would be a
very good thing financially for
the lattep's children. Their
father would have some money

have any while he remains in
Office.
You can imagine how eagerly
Hiram johnson would be well
coined as a practising lawyer
by Wall Street gentlemen that
are so eager to get him out of
the Senate, where he repre-
sents California, instead Of rep
resenting them.
They would say to johnson,
"Come ont with US, Senator.
We will show you how to make
some REAL money. Don't
waste your time with politics.
We will let bygones be by
cones and make you q rich
man in five years. And they
would do it. Any one Of a
dozen big corporation law firms
would gladly guarantee Senator
Johnson ten times what the
nation pays him, and twice
that.
But none of all that will
happen. The Greeks banished
Aristides to oblige Themis-
tocies, also a really great man,
one Of the greatest Greece ever
produced. To do that was bad
enough.
Anybody who thinks that
California would Danish from

State they like real men and

exhausted. Christmas greeting cards
were "sold out" by Friday afternoon.

should fix the duration of imprison-

That is the view of Lewis E.

Present laws do not deal sanely
with people who commit crimes" he
said, in an interview with NEA Ser
vice until the do, crime will not
be checked.
Every person convicted of crime
should be sent to prison with an
indeterminate sentence. This should
be an inflexible rule. Then we could
determine when they should be re
leased.
More than 80 per cent of the per-
sons in Sing Sing and other prisons
are not of the real criminal type
The others the habitual criminals
are the kind who should never be
freed"
Warden Lawes cited the case of a
man just received at Sing Sing to
begin his eleventh prison term. His
prison record began in 1886 with a
reformatory sentence, and he has
been committed many times fol
grand larceny. burglary and forgery
This is his fifth trip to Sing Sing.
This man has just been sentenced
to two years and two months-bui
he should be here for life" said
Lawes.
