eral secretary of the Railroads

forth by recent statements of At
torney- General Daugherty that he
believed there was a relation be-

dications that the l. w. WIS are
willing to take over some RESPONSE
bility OF railway transportation and
even the government itself in the

Object to "Despotism."

Washington. D. c., Aug. 21.-The
legislative situation gets more
daily. Now it begins to
look as if the tariff will be indef-
initely tied up in conference be
tween the house and senate and,
without any deliberate effort on
anybody's part, may be still under
consideration when the people 90
to the polls in November.
AS for the bonus and ship sub
sidy, the latter has little chance in
the present melee and will get more
votes after the election. The bonus,
or adjusted compensation bill as
the American legion leaders pre-
fer to have it described, will be
passed this week.
There is no doubt that the votes
in favor of the bill are greatly in
excess of those against it. The
only question now is whether the
senate will cast more than q two
thirds vote in favor Of the measure.
Some of the friends of the bill be-
lieve if the bill passes by a two
thirds vote, the futility Of a veto
will have been SO conspicuously
demonstrated that MIR. Harding
will not wish to risk being over
ridden by his party.
Harding Is Determined.
Every statement and intimation
from the White house, however
has been directly to the contrary
and the president is said to have
exhibited much impatience recent
ly when one Of his callers brought
the information that the senate was
expecting him to shift his position
and sign the bill after all.
If the senate really expects that
the measure must be modified con-
siderably to provide justification
for a change of the presidential
mind. The changes are Mr.. Hard
ing will veto the bill and that l,
will be promptly made q law ovel
his veto as two-thirds are available
in both houses.
In the face Of the known disap'
proval by President Harding of the
bonus measure and the repeated
statements Of treasury Officials
, that the bill would add something
like four billion dollars to the pub
lie debt, congress is going ahead
To the average observer this mus
seem a curious state of affairs bu

PEACE NEAR
IN ILLINOIS
COAL FIELD
Both Sides Say Operators
Partially Recede on
\ Arbitration.
BULLETIN.

CmC9&O. Aug. Sls-HOpe lOE
an agreement between Illinois
operators and miners by tomor-
row, was expressed by both
sides shortly after noon today.
1t was announced officially that
the operators had, to some ex.
tent, receded from their POSI-
ton on arbitration.
The announcement came only a
short time after the negotiations in
the session of a subcommittee
were said to have reached a snag.
But the expression of hopefulness
was taken to mean that the earlier
hitch in proceedings since had
been minimized.
Only the briefest information
was given out following the sub
committee session. AS leaders of
operators and miners came from
the conference room they stated
that the operators had, in a meas
ure, receded on the arbitration
question, although there was no in
dication that some form of arbi-
tration or mediation had been def
nitely dropped.
There is some hope for an
agreement by tomorrow" were
substantially the words of leaders
on both sides, which turned the
earlier gloomy aspect of the nego-
tiations to a much brighter one.
1t was announced that the sub
committee would resume its ses-
sions tomorrow at IL o'clock. Iu
the meantime the full committee oi
operators deferred a meeting until
IL a. m. tomorrow it had been ex
pected to hold with its members O.
the subcommittee.
Chicago, Aug. 21.-A hitch in th'
negotiations between Illinois op
orators and miners in their effort!
towards settlement Of the strike il

The immediate result was a post
ponement of meeting of the full
committee of operators. which hat
been set for noon, until later il
the day. The subcommittee pre-
pared to continue it's session witt
only a brief luncheon period.
Chicago, Aug. 81. General.
hopeful indications surrounded tn
meeting today of the subcommitte'
of Illinois coal operators and min
ers, after an all-day session yes
terday, although leaders on bot
sides said the negotiations toward
a wage scale settlement remaine'
as they were yesterday. The sub
committee session, however, was t
be followed by a meeting of tn
full committees Of operators a
which the operators representa-
tives on the subcommittee will asl
for further instructions. y
Arbitration Is Snag.
Although the miners have aske'
for settlement on the basis O
the Cleveland agreement, by whicl
the soft coal strike in certain sec
tions of seven states was settled
the Illinois operators have aked fo
arbitration, which was not men
toned in the Cleveland settlement
Notwithstanding this differenc
Illinois operators and miners hav
continued negotiation in an effor
to reach a common ground.
