MINE STRIKE
PRESIDENT HARDING INDICATES
THAT ARBITRATION MAY
BE SOUGHT.
SAYS TRAINS MUST BE RUN
Administration Leaders Indicate Thai
Industries in This Country viii
Not Be Permitted To Suffer
II Coal Miners Strike.

New SMYRNA, Fla.-The administra.
ton has decided that the railroads and
essential industries shall be kept go,
ing, strike or no strike, on April |.
President Harding and his cabinet,
according to members of the presi.
dents party here, have evolved a def.
mite programme Of executive action in
event the threatened walkout occurs.
In the first place, it is the hope Of
the administration that the strike may
be ayerted. If ii occurs, however, il
now may be regarded as certain that
fuel will be provided. even if govern.
ment supervision of mines is neces.
sary.
The president IS accompanied on his
trip here by Attorney General Daugh.
erty, who will be an active figure IN
the strike emergency. In addition,
Secretary OF War Weeks already has
been in consultation with the presi.
dent, and Weeks naturally would have
an important position in whatever &C.
ton tho government decided to take.
According to those who are in a po.
sition to know what is in the admin.
istration mind, there appears to be lit.
tie hope Of a preliminary wage con.
ference. The mine workers are eager
to hold such a conference, but opera.
tors in the bituminous fields are so di.
vided on the question that it would
seem there would be little likelihood
Of operators uniting on a general wage
programme. The government, while
urging the conference, does not have
any means OF enforcing such a confer.
ence.
II the conference plan collapses, as
seems probable, the government is pre-
pared to propose arbitration through
a commission which the president will
appoint. This commission will be
made up OF n or more operators to
be nominated by the producing inter-
ests and one or more miners to be
named by the union. The chairman is
to be named by the president.

Failure Of Railroad to Deliver Ship.
ment Of Corned Beef Is Charge.

'S'' " OS''SS SSS' i've SS.
Dallas, ~Tex.-Corned beef, much
abused by humorists, has reached the
plane OF royalty. Cabbage may come
next.
This became known when King
George filed suit against Warren G.
Harding. president Of the United
States, in a Fort Worth court, for an
alleged failure of a railroad in the
United States to deliver to the agents
Of the English sovereign at Hoboken
$1,709 worth Of corned beef, bought
from a Fort Worth concern.
The suit is styled George Windsor.

grace of God, of the United Kingdom
OF Great Britain and Ireland, and Of
the British dominions oyer the sea,
king, defender of she faith, emperor
Of India, VS.. Warren G. Harding, presi-
dent of the United States"
The only reason why Harding Is
brought into the legal spat over the
corned beef is because the Rock Island
railway was under government control
when the corned beef was purchased
and delivery promised.
The petition alleges the beef was
timed by a Fort Worth house and was
to be delivered at Hoboken, that it has
not yet been delivered, to the kings
damage in the amount stated and in.
terest at 6 per cent. The suit for the
corned beef was filed the day the king
gave his only daughter to Viscount
Lascelles.
