Harding Concludes Compos- ing Message He Will Deliver
 at Joint Session
CONSULTATION ON TEXT
Opinion Asked on Recruiting ot Army as Possible Means
 to Combat Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-(By The Assoclated Press.) - President Hard ing was said by administration ad- Vlsors late today virtually to have de- cided to go before congress in joint session tomorrow with his statement or the industrial situation. Indica. tions were that the chief executive would deliver his message by noon. He was known to have concluded tba writing of the message which was to be sent to the printer tonight.
 The decision to address congress to- morrow was reached after earlier re- ports had indicated that the president might defer his statement on the strike situation until after the railroad conference in New York had reached some definite conclusion. Administra- ton advisors said tonight, however that the president felt he should delay no longer in presenting the adminis- tratlon's case to congress and the country.
 The presidents message, it is said. Will suggest need of legislation , to strengthen the governments coal dis trlbution system and to prevent pro- Ilteerlng from the shortage brought about by the coal and rail strikes. In addition, it is understood, he will sketch a history of his attempts to settle the industrial tie-up by negotia- tons, and 1t is believed, will assure congress that the federal government intends to give it's aid and protection to the maintenance of rail operations. It is doubtful, however, whether there will be any suggestion for legislation affecting the' rail situation.
 Administration leaders, including Senator Lodge and Representative Mondell, Republican, consulted today with the president and Secretary Weeks was closeted with him late to- day for study of the message.
 Before going to the White House, Secretary Weeks received from the legal department of the army an opin- ion that the strike situation did not constitute an emergency which would authorize the recruiting of the army to war strength, or to allow the draft ing Of men in time of peace. While no such action was contemplated, Mir. Weeks said the opinions were asked from the judge advocate general to settle any doubt in the minds of off, cials and the public as to the power of government.
 Both the senate and house were in session today, ready to hear the presi- dent, but the house adjourned when it became known that he intended to de- lay his presentation another day. Rep- resentative Ward, Democrat, North Carolina, introduced a bill to give the interstate commerce commission wage fixing authority in railroad employ ment and providing a system of mak- ing public wage rates similar to that now operative for new freight sched- ules.

 JAIL GETAWAY
Four Prisoners Make Escape From Prison in Stolen Gar;
 Deputy Warden Knifed

SIOUX FALLS, s, D., Aug. 17.-(By The Associated Press s)-After severe ly knifing Deputy Warden Arthur Muchow, four prisoners escaped from the South Dakota penitentiary here late today taking Warden George w. Jamison,. with them. The prisoners fled in motor car parked by a tour. ist just outside the prison walls
 Several posses of state, county and city officers, aided by members of the local post of the American Legion immediately started in pursuit.
 Early tonight the prisoners had not been overtaken and apparently Warden Jamison had not been released from their car as no word had been received from him by local authorities.
 The only trace of the fleeing men was contained in report from Ellis, where they stopped and stole another car, presumably in hopes of avoiding detection. The four men are:
 Henry Coffee; Joe Foreman, Joe Feel and J. B. King, were serving sentences for grand larceny. Coffee is negro.
 It appeared to officials that the es- cape had been planned in advance The four men started commotion in the tailor shop at the prison this af- ternoon and Deputy Muchow hurried to ascertain what the trouble was. When he reached the shop, the con- victs attacked him with knives which they had obtained from some unknown source.
 Muchow resisted and was badly cut, being stabbed twice in the abdomen and once in the breast.
 Warden Jamison was in his office at the prison at the time of the attack and also hearing the noise in the shop hastened down. The men overpow- cred him and at the point of their knives forced him to lead the way through the prison gates to the out side after they had thrown Deputy Muchow and guard into a cell
 Reaching the garden just outside the prison they leaped into the auto- mobile and sped north.
 A guard on the wall noticing them, fired shot, but feared to aim direct ly at the occupants because of the warden's presence in the car.
 Authorities here believe that the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Early re sumption of coal production in the union fields covered by the Cleveland agreement WIS looked to today by administration officials to avert fuel troubles next winter.
 If the miners in those fields return to work within a few days, Secretary Hoover declared, there should be no serious shortage of coal next winter, although there may be some inconven- fences. Production of approximately 1O,000.000 tons of coal weekly, made up of about four fifths bituminous and one fifth anthracite, will be need ed, according to federal Fuel Distri- butor Spencer.
 Even with adequate production, MT. Hoover asserted, action by congress will be necessary to enable federal price control temporarily, and to fa- cilitate distribution of anthracite and

Y DEFENDANTS
 IN RAID ADMIT
 PARTICIPATION
lnglewood Raid Case Session Mainly Taken Up With Doc
 umentary Evidence

LOS ANGELES, Aug. F. - State. ments of IF of the 36 defendants in the Inglewood raid case, made before the grand jury were introduced in evi- dence today by the prosecution in the trial of 36 on felony charges. The jury, however, was admonished by the court that each statement could be considered only with reference to the person making it.
 The statements contained admis- sions that the persons making them took part in the rald upon the home of Fidel and Matias Elduayen. The FL duayens were taken bound to the lnglewood and Redondo Beach jails, at each of which the jailers refused to receive them as prisoners.
 Then, the statements continued, the captors started to take the prisoners to Los Angeles to be turned over to the federal authorities, but decided on the way to turn them loose.
 We made them raise their right hands and swear that they would go back home and back to their farms and not bootleg any more" said one, l.. l.. Bryson. The defendants dis agreed as to who was in charge Leonard Ruegg, who was wounded in the shooting afray between the raid CTS and Deputy Marshal Woerner, which resulted in the death of Con- stable M B. Mosher, swore that Mosher led the party. Two others de- clared that Nathan A. Baker, Ku Klux Klan kleage, was in charge, and as- signed squads of men to various duties.
 William c. Dorn, chief deputy dis trict attorney, was called by the prose cution and read letter from counsel for the indicted men in which it was stated that 23 of the defendants ad- mitted participation in the raid. The letter specified that the 23 men auth orized the writing of it to the dstrct attorney.
 The prosecution put in evidence typewriter document which, it was testified, was found in the safe of the office occupied by William s. Coburn, grand goblin, and G. w. Price, king kleagle of the klan at the time of the raid. The document purported to be a story of the raid, line at the top reading: Citizens of Inglewood take law into their own hands"
 : The text of the document was to the effect that "a body of silent men" had captured three bootleggers" and a still and turned them over to an off cer in Inglewood; that the prisoners had confessed and would be delivered to federal authorities; that the officer said the men had handkerchiefs over their faces and he could not recognize them but they appeared to be ''of the highest type of refinement"
 A newspaper reporter who accom- panied the raiders testified that Kleagle Baker told him an article de- scribing the raid would be given to- him when it was over. The prosecu- tion contends that the document intro duced today was this article.

 It was the contention of A. H. Deri emer, county attorney for Santa Cruz county, that the appeal filed by Mar tinez had been filed after the expira, tion of the sixty day period following the rendition of judgment in the case and that therefore the appeal was not valid.
 Galbraith said:
 "The notice of appeal stays the ex- ecution of judgment in capital cases until the same can be shown by the official records in the case to have been filed after the time allowed by law and until the notice of appeal can be set aside by an order of the court after presentation of the facts and arguments, both for and against"

Executives and Brotherhood Leaders Wrestle With Prob

CONFEREES ARE SILENT
No Definite Conclusions Are Arrived at, Says Cuyler
 After Adjournment

NEW YORK, Aug 17.-(By the Asso. ciated Press)-Railway executives and brotherhood chiefs today wrestIed with the problem of settling the shop mems strike and then adjourned un- til tomorrow without scoring a fall.
 Tomorrow, when President Harding IS. expected to appear before congress With message on the rail situation, the conferees will re-assemble in an efforts to come to grips on the slippery question of seniority
 Today was a day of conferences among brotherhood chiefs this morn ing, between brotherhood chiefs and executives this afternoon, and between brotherhood chiefs and executives this afeternoon, and between brother hood chiefs and shopcrafts' officials this evening.
 The first gathering, over which Wer- ren S. Stone, presided, was called for the ostensible purpose of framing a concrete program to be submitted to the executives. The brotherhood men, who made it plain that their DOS ition was solely mediatory, went into the afternoon barley without breath ing word of the prosals for strike settlement which they were believed to have draw up.
 But if the train service men were silent, representative of the striking shopcrafts gathered to await the re suit of the conference, made it plain that they did not belive any proposal would be made by the running trades which would include a sacrifice of their seniority rights, while represen- tatives of strikers woud not permit themselves to be quoted, they indi- cated they would stand firm as ever on the proposition that they must be taken back with their seniority rank ing unimpaired.
 A committee representing the ex- ecutives, headed by T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of their organization, went to the conference chambers wehere they awaited the arrival of the medi- ators. At o'clock the conference was on.
 Two hints of what had transpired escaped.
 First, the executives sent for files containing decisions of the railroad labor board in which that body, in rulings bearing on other strikes. had  directed that strikers should forfeit seniority rights. This was taken to indicate that the question of seniority which had figured so prominently in the two efofrts by President Harding to end the strike, had bobbed up again The second hint was obtained from Julius K. Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board fthe Southern Pacific. who. leaving the conference shortly before it adjourned. indicated that little progress had been made.
