LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 30.-
Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing direc-
Tor Of the war finance corporation,
who is now visiting all this Western
country, said at Albuquerque the
other day:
"The worst is over In American
business and for the farmers and
live stock growers of the country.
Business conditions are distinctly
better and confidence in the future,
upon a sound basis. is warranted.
''I do not moan that boom times are
returning. Indeed, we do not want re-
turn to the boom times. Their reactions
are too painful But It may be said with
confidence that the sheep and cattle
growers Of the weat ars now in a position
to operate on a favorable basis and one
that will prove profitable under
economical methods of operation.
when the War Finance Corporation
found it necessary to make loans to
drOught-stricken, livestock growers we
had our doubts, due in large measure
TO our lack of familiarity with per-
ambulating security. We knew very
little about conditions on the ranges and
we had cur doubts. But In our larger
relations with the livestock industry We
have learned to respect and trust It as
one that IS reliable and prompt In the
discharge of its obligations, and we no
longer entertain any doubts as to it's
ability to make it's way out OF its
difficulties completely and speedily.
There is no use for pessimism now.
At time when pessimism might have been
Of value It was wholly lacking. and its
counsels were not given. Now that the
emergency is over we are not lacking in
pessimists who are willing to tell us
how mistakes might have been avoided.
But this is not the pessimist's hour. We
have before US a safe and certain future
If we bend our energies to its best use
along the safe, censervating lines Of
business activity"
That hopeful view is generally re-
flected all over the country we have
visited. If those reports have had a
certain similarity in tone 1t Is because
in each of the States the condition DIFF
fers only In degree. Some of them are
further on the road to recovery than
others But everywhere, to this stage
Of the journey, there has been easily
evident and manifest a determination to
go to work and recover all the ground
lost. Nobody is faint hearted. Many of
them will carry for a long time the
scars of last years experience. They
will buy cautiously for a time and they
will spend cautiously, but the instinct
is in them to have what they want and
to go get it.-Copyright, 1922, by Pullic

BRYDON IS
DENIED HALL
FOR BAZAAR
Promoter Accused of
Having Promised
Protection.
GAMBLING HINTED

Acting upon the advice OF Prosecuting
Attorney William 2. Evans. Mayor
Shank today instructed the board OF
public works to refuse a permit for
the use of Tomlinson Hall for the stag
ing of a benefit bazaar" the week Of
April 10. to Roy Marsh Brydon, pro
moter for tho National Disabled Sol
diers League.
Mr.. Evans recommended the permit
be refused because the promoters of the
bazaar had "misTepresented officials and
soldiers organizations of indianapolis
and had sent broadcast what was re-
gartled as an invitation TO the gambling
fraternity 10 come into Indianapolis In
an advertisement" Mayor Shank said.
Upon being informed he could not have
the hall for. week OF April TO- which
would have conficted with the American
Legion's yankee Circus" at the Coliseum
April to Is, Brydon announced he
would see the board Of works Friday
afternoon In an effort to get Tomlinson
Hall for some other time or failing in
this probably would stage an open air
bazaar May to g. He said he would
let the American Legion use a calliOpe
he had engaged. from a man In Ro-
chester, Ind, to advertise the legion
circus IL legion officials desire.
EVANS ATTITUDE
DUE TO EPISODE.
The prosecutors unfavorable attitude
toward Brydon and the "bazaar" grew
out Of an episode staged at the board OF
works meeting, Wednesday. Several days
ago the board refused the use of Tom
lInson Hall to Brydon and his asso
ciates because It would conflict with the
legion show. Brydon, and others in
terested in the bazaar came to the board
Wednesday asking that this action be
reconsidered. The mayor ordered that
they be given a permit for April 10, II,
10 and 13, but while Brydon was out
after the money to pay the rent in ad-
vance Jack Hawthorne of Chicago, and
Frank DIetz of indianapolis, came to
the mayor and told him, he said, that

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Well-
nigh perfect harmony exists between
President Harding and Congress, Re-
publican Floor Leader Mondell sol
emnly assured the House today in
making a sweeping denial of pub
lished statements of party discord.
Brushing aside as though non-ex-
Istent the conflict of views between
the President and the House over
the bonus" rivers and harbors ap-
propriations, the size of the Army
and Navy and kindred matters, Mon
dell said:
"Thc President and Congress are
not at IOggerheads. There Is "a spirit
and purpose of cooperation; fire.
quent consultations are the order of
the day. The Presidents recon-
mendatiOns and the party program
have been carried out or are in
process of accomplishment. 1t has
met with presidential approval as so
fur carried out"
ADMITS THERE HAVE
BEEN SOME CONFLICTS.
Mondell admitted there had been some
conflict of opinion.
''I dc not wish to convey the impress
sion" he said, that the action Of Con-
gress, in either body. has at every mo-
ment Of the time and in all stages Of
legislation been exactly or precisely to
the breadth Of gnat's eyelash just what
the President would have desired. Such

NEW YORK, March 30.-The' na-
tional coal strike, which will begin
at midnight tomorrow will be di-
rected In its initial stage from New
York City. John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers of
America, is expected here tomorrow
from Indianapolis to establish tenn
porary headquarters. The leading
officials Of both the bituminous and
anthracite sections of the union al
ready are on the ground.
Any hopes that might have been
entertained for eleventh-hour level
opments that would avert the strike
were abandoned today.
There IS absolutely no chance Of the
strike being averted," said Phil Murray,
vice president of the United Mine Work
ers of America.
"AlI the negotiations that have been
conducted so far have led US nowhere.
The operators have remained obdurate
and there has been no chance whatsoever
Of reaching an agreement. have no
hope whatever Of any eleventh hour de-
velopment that would prevent a general
strike in the American coal fields. Tho
operators have done nothing in this d.
rectiOn. They have not made a single
conciliatory move"
Another perfunctory meeting OF the an
thracite miners scale committee and q
committee of operators was held today.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow
and then a recess will be taken until
Monday.

tense In the third manslaughter trial of

lines today and renewed its attack ON

AIM TO FORCE
OWNERS INTO
WAGE PARLEY
Main Efforts Are Di-
rected Against Pitts
burgh Operators.

A number of district chiefs in the
United Mine Workers of America
were called into national headQuar-
ters here today for final conference
before the coal strike starts, tomor-
row midnight.
Their aim is to force a little group
OF Pittsburgh operators into line for
Interstate wage negotiations on the
basis of the central competitive
field. Duration of the strike de-
pends upon how soon this can be ac-
complished.
The Pittsburgh Coal Producers Asso-
ciauOn, producing 60 per cent Of the fuel
mined around Pittsburgh, is the bulwark
against which the United Mine Workers
is hurling it's force. The association led
the way in declaring for separate State
wage agreement and abandonment OF the
central field, comprised Of Illinois. In
diana. Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.
CHARGE REFUSAL
OF NEGOTIATIONS.
Union leaders charge the action Of the
association In refusing to negotiate as
provided by the existing wage scale is
part Of general open shop movement.
The association takes the position, pub
licly, that their business is JeopardIzed
by low priced coal from the non-union
fields OF West Virginia.
All Of the Illinois operators demsnd
a conference. 1t is understood some OF
the operators in Indiana and Ohio who
followed the Pittsburgh, refusal with
similar action desire a conference also.
because they DO not wish to see the un-
organized fields grab the markets which
they now supply.
With this situation existing, the miners
are confronted with the problem OF
swinging the Pittsburgh association in
to line. Union officers, realizing the
cards are against them, say they do not
desire a strike, while the nation boasts
tbe largest coal surplus in its history.
President John L. Lewis was back al
his desk, personally directing union ac-
tivities with the assistance Of Secretary
Treasurer William f. Green. AS soon al

The economy issue in the Republican

Senator Harry S. New, to follow his ex-

which he asked Senator New to take
similar action.

KING SAYS FALSE
ISSUE RAISED.
The action of Mr. Beveridge was char
acterized by Fred 1. King. campaign
manager for Senator New, as evidence
that Mr.. Beveridge IS beaten. Mr.. King
declared that Mr.. Beveridge is raising a
false issue
I'VE will pay no attention to Mr.. Bev-
eridge's action" he said. Senator New
announced that his campaign would be
conducted within the law and within the
proprieties and 1t Is being conducted in
this manner. Our expenditures have been
very modest"
Fred b. Shireman, manager Of the Ho-
tel SEVERN, was asked what it costs the
New campaign managers to maintain the
suite Of rooms In the hotel. He de-
clined to state on the ground that that
question should be answered by Senator
New or his managers.
Rates Of the Seyerin run as low as 81
per day, he said, but declared that 1t
was no secret that concessions are made
to political organizations because Of the
amount of business that is attracted to
the hotel ythem.

District Mine Chiefs Meet
Here in Final Conference

The great coal waII<out started today
I'm Illinois and Ohio.
Although the official hour for Nation
wide suspension by the miners is mid
night tomorrow, miners in those two
States began dropping their tools today.
Half the southern Ohio mines were idle
and those In Illinois commenced shutting
down.
Meanwhile West Virginia non-union
miners were working feverishly to store
up reserve supplies.
The Kansas Industrial Court was ex-
pected to order miners in Its jurisdiction
to remain at work.
The war cabinet" of the miners met
at Indianapolis for final plans.
Representatives of operators and miners
were summoned to Washington to testi-
fy before the House Labor Committee,
which will investigate the causes of the
tie-up.
In the anthracite field likewise. prep
arations were being made for suspen-
sion of work.
The sub scale committee which had
hoped to reach an early settlement of
the hard coal dispute will temporarily
adjourn tomorrow.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 90.-The Kansas
Industrial Court stepped into the breach
between mine operators and miners in the
Kansas coal fields today.
Representatives of the operators and
miners unIOn testified before the court
and based on this testimony, II seemed
probable a temporary order would be is
sued calling upon the miners TO remain
at work in spite of the Nationwide or
der to strike on April 1. The order, if
Issued, will also continue the present
wage contracts temporarily.
Mine union leaders, however, pointed
out that they were under orders of the in
ternational union and were nOncOmmittal
whether such an order would prevent the
