Will Point Danger Of
Union Domination in
Basic Industries.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The ArgusD
Washington, D. c., Aug. 16.-
President Harding means to place
squarely before the country the
dangers Of national domination Of
basic industries by labor unions.
Irrespective of whether the meet
ing in New York tomorrow be-
tween the rail executives and the
brotherhood chiefs who represent
the shopmen brings an end to the
rail strike, the president feels that
the issues involved in the present
crisis are too big to be suddenly
shelved with the abrupt termina-
ton of the strike.
Mr.. Harding has not made up his
mind to ask for specific legislation
at this time but he feels that con-
gress and the country should know
the details of the present contro-
versy so as to have the way open
for thorough consideration of the
whole problem. The president 8

Some of the presidents friends

that the public should know Jus
