INTERVENTION
IN NINE STRIKE
IS NOT LIKELY
Believes Mine Strike viii Be Settled
Country Is Not Going On Wood
Burning Basis

Obstacles in TIE path of peaceful
settlement of the anthracite miners
strike are clearing away rapidly. That
there are only two controversial ques-
items blocking complete settlement
was declared by Senator Pepper, CT
Pennsylvania, today, following his re-
turn to the Capital after weekend
spent in conference with the miners
and operators.
4 am very hopeful over the situa-
ton" Senator Pepper. "While
it is too optimistic to say there will
be a settlement within a day or two,
/ feel confident that the miners and
operators will be able to get together
and work out a solution"
Washington, Aug. 29 Confidence
that settlement of the anthracite
coal strike will be reached within a
few days was expressed by an offic-
ial spokesman at the White House
today shortly after the return of
President Harding from week end
cruise down the Potomac River with
his "strike cabinet"
Optimism and a strong undercur-
rent of opposition in Congress to
seizure of the mines or railroads at
the present time, the impression pre-
vailed that action on Legislation en-
powering the executive to take the
anthracite mines and some rail lines
would be delayed.
1t was pointed out that President
Harding stated last week the legis-
lation would not be pushed if a set
tlement of the anthracite strike was
probable early this week
This whole situation was gone over
in detail on the Mayflower over the
weekend in a conference between
the President and Secretaries Hoov-
err, Fall, and Daugherty, Senator'S
Cummins ana Kellogg, and Chairman
Lasker, OF the Shipping Board.
Steps will be taken through the
Interstate Commerce Commission 10
insure that the coal stored in various
sections OF the country can be moved
quickly to places where it is needed.
Goa; and other fuel will be given
priority over every other commodity
except food it was stated. 1t may
even be necessary to cut down postal
service and other lines of railroad
carrying service in order that coal
may be carried to the people of the
country this winter
There was no information made
public as to the basis cf the conf
dence that the anthracite strike soon
would be ended, but it is believed
that Senator Pepper and Secretary
of Labor Davis. who have been en-
deavoring to bring the two factions
together. both have Forwarded opti-
mistic assurances to the President.
Realizing that because Of the BIZ
luminous settlement and the proha-
bility of a hard coal agreement, The
great problem will be transportation,
the administration it was officially
stated, plans to concentrate its en-
ergv and effort toward the direction
of TRANSFORMATION in the hope that all
the coal mined can be promptly
moved

Chicago, Aug. 28.-The first step for

Fresh Mater N the Sea.

A spring of fresh water, which wells
up through the sea off Elbury cove
Churston Ferrers, in Torbay, off the
British coast, is attracting large mum
Der of visitors.
This is the best time of the year to
locate the spring, and yachts are being
anchored at the spot, so that visitors
may taste the water.
The real source has never been
found. 1t is smmised that the waters
from the rainfall near Elbury and the
northern hills finds course in the
same valley, and then forces itself up
through the sea at a distance of 80 to
100 yards off the beach.
The circular space of the fresh wa
ter is plainly visible from the rocks
and the white pebhly beach at all
stages of the tide.
