One occupant OF the car saw the
crowd as it began to collect. With
one bound he was out of the car and
soon disappeared in the distance. A
switch engine hauled the strlkebreak-
ers' car to the lower end of the yards,
near the roundhouse. The crowd fol-
lowed in its wake and as soon as it
had been sidetracked, proceeded to
draw out the strikebreakers.
Although the unwelcomed workers
were roughly treated, no real vio-
lence ensued. Cries of get rope
scared the strikebreakers into sub
mission and they obeyed every CON-
mand. They were loaded into wait
ing automobiles and started eastward
toward the county line.

Washington, July l4.-(Special Tel
egram.)-Wi,h scant hope entertained
that the miners and coal operators
will adjust their differences between
now and Monday, the administration
began to prepare itself to use its iull
power to have coal mned and dis
tributed to the American public.
This was maze clear at the White
House following conferences between
the president and his advisers and
with representatives of New England
and of the northwest, where the coal
shortage is acute.
Secretary Of War Weeks expressed
the hope the strike would be SET
fled by tomorrow night, but every
preparation is made to meet what IS
expected to be the greatest industrial
upheaval this country has ever seen
il efforts to settle the strike tail.
Complete Showdown Expected.
The coal strike covered the entire
screen in Washington today, but It
is realized that bach OF it is the raul
road strike. which is\no nearer settle
ment and the further realization that
If government action is taken, z
complete showdown in the industrlas
world will be forced. :,
President Harding has called iot
responses to his appeal Tor arbitra-
ton to miners and operators to De
formulated as they would be ap-
praised by public opinion. 1t will be
in the name of public opinion that he
will act. and if employers suffer IN
the result, or labor unions are smash
ed, his advisers feel he will have been
absolAd from responsibility. g.,
The first step of the president, 1t
is expected, will be the issuance OF
proclamation similar in character to
that issued in connection with the
rail strike. The president will make
Il clear that men will be accorded the
!, right to work.
L May Use Troops.
After that, it will depend upor
= whether the men responsible for the
IL strike will insist upon still detyine
public opinion. The government. Il
prepared to go the full limit, whether
it is to guard workers with military
force or to seize mines and operate
them. The people of the United
States are not going to be permitted
. to freeze.
20 The strike must be settled betwee'

ject
There arc no new sensations to be
recorded where tho figure painters arc
concerned. Mr.. c. c. Coleman's "Rc-
turn from the Crucifixion" has the dig
nifty of its subject and the interest Of
thorough workmanship. It is other
wise a rather coldly academic per
formancc. So is the "Noritas" of Mr..
Will II. Low. The incident from our
Revolutionary history by Mr.. j. W,
Dunsmore is not without a certain IL
Illustrative animation, but it is prosaio
in style. There are two ambitious nudes
by Mr.. r. Philip and Mr. w. A Levy,
competent as far as they 60, but in no
wise original or distinguished. Mr.
Philip is far more advanced, as a
painter, in the "Portrait of Himself, y
to which the second algarten prize
has been awarded. The lively groups
delneated by Miss Theresa Bernstein
and Mr.. Jerome Myers are not precise
ly important, hut they stand out by
virtue Of mild individuality. 'Driven

fully asserts itself through its dra-
matte force. In respect TO form and
color it wears q hammered, derivatiVe
air. For sheer cleverness the nude
