MUST CLOSE BARS
Harding's Ship Subsidy Plan
Otherwise To See Defeat?
That's Ultimatum Issued In
Canvass of Senate Today.

Washington, July IA warning
that the Harding-Lasker ship subsidy
bill would be defeated unless shipping
board bars are closed, was issued to
the administration today by congress
sional dry leaders.
Voiced by Senator Willis, Repub-
Hcan, of Ohio, the warning was deliv-
cred on the eve of a decision by the
department of justice on the legality
of liquor sales on shipping board ves-
sells. Willis declared the shipping
board had as much right to deal in
slaves as it had to sell liquor.
Closely following a STRAW vote" by
senate leaders, which showed a pre-
.ponderance of opinion that the bill
should not be enacted az the present
session, it appeared the measure may
be postponed until the December
short session.
- While one senate poll showed an
antipathy to an early consideration of
the measure, another poll indicated
the senate would abide by the presi-
dents decision.
Tho two questions asked Republic
can senators were:-
1. Do you favor postponement of
action on the ship subsidy until the
December session?
2. Will you support the president If
he desires its passage this session?
According to Republican leaders,
the senators voted Overwhelmingly i'll
favor of both proposals. In other
words, the two polls showed the sem
ate would back up the president if he
insists on early action, but showed
their. preference for ITS postpone

commerce first of all up to the COVER

it was said today. The proclamation
calls upon "al1 public authorities,
state and municipal :. to uphold
the laws and preserve the public
peace"
As interpreted today, the presiden-
tial proclamation virtually proclaims
the strike OF railway shoprnen as a
strike against the government.
Protection for workers Promised
In the very first paragraph, Presi-
dent Harding called attention to the
fact that the railway labor board sis
an agency of the government. charged
by law with adjusting the disputes be-
tween railroad operators and en-
pleyes engaged in interstate COM
merce."
1t is plainly implied guarantee
that all men who accept the places
made vacant by striking shopmen will
do SO under the protection Of the
United States, according to the general
Interpretation placed upon the word
ing in all quarters today.

ture OF the show is the new quartet.
Hooper leads the boys in their songs
and il is said that their quartet is one
OF the best to be heard on the stage
today. You had a sample of good
nAlartct singing when the Lyric Quartet
was here, it is of interest to know that
Clyde Hooper trained Sleepy Chap
man. the bass singer of that quartet.
Chapman says that Hooper's Quartet
is just as good as theirs or even better.
The first bill that Hooper will pre-
sent win be Irwin Beds" Many have
seen the original play but none have
seen the bill that Hooper has arranged
from the originals Where this bill has
been put on managers have declared
that it is even better than their soldier
show. and that is saying some.
Hooper's show holds the record for
largest attendance in one day, and
also in one week at the Orpheum. In
all the time that the Orpheum has
been open to the public never were
there the crowds that flocked to the
Crpheum during Hooper's stay. That
means only one thing and that is that
clyde Hooper and his show are To-
peka's favorites.

PEAN ISN'T CLEAR
Harding's Proposal To End
Coal Strike Puzzles Miners.
They Ask Clearing Up, by An
swerS to Their Queries.

. Washington, July 12.-Officials, OF
the United Mine Workers of America
after conference today with Secre-
tary of Labor Davis, were understood
to have decided to seek . conference
with President Harding 1T which re-
quest will be made that the executive
modify his coal strike settlement plan
TO guarantee that any decision made
by the proposed arbitration commits
sion shall be binding on all operators
in the country.
Washington, July 12.-Interpreta-
tions Of President Harding's proposal
aimed to end the coal strike, will be
formally requested by the miners, one
OF their leaders today stated.
Interpretation of the peace offer be-
tore 1t can approve acceptable to the
miners, it was said, must cover three
major points:
l. Does the presidents plan imply
that arbitration of the wage dispute
may result in a wage reduction, in the
abolition of the check-off system, IN
refusal to recognize the United Mine
Workers union, and in a denial of the
miners right to collective bargaining.
Unless assurance can be given before
hand that arbitration will not result
in the rejection of the miners plat
form, there is no useful end to be
served thru arbitration.
2. Does the president intend that
his proposal shall apply to the thou
sands of non-union miners who have
Joined the union strikers since the
strike was called? If it does not grant
the former nOn-union men equal bene-
fits. the plan is not satisfactory to the
miners because they are under pledge
to see that these men share in any
benefits.
s. VIII the president give assurance
to the miners that the five members
of the arbitration commission will be
non-partisan, unbiased men sufficient
" expert to cope with the problems
adequately and impartially.
An operators spokesman, summing
up the attitude of the employees, states
today there were certain technical
features of the presidents plan that
called for Strengthening out and am
plification" before it would prove &C
ceptable to them.
