C0MPERS SEES BREAK COMING
 IN BIG STRIKE
Peaceful Settlement in Few Weeks Expected by Federation Chief.
Believes Deadlock Due to End Between Soft Coal Producers.

NEW YORK, April 21.-A break in the present deadlock between the union miners and the bituminous coal operators, and peaceful settlement of their differences, within a few weeks" was the forecast made here today by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor.
 The labor leader said the miners and the public had every reason for expecting an early adjustment of all strike troubles.
 The United Mine Workers officials claim great additions of previously un- organized miners to the strikers ranks, especially in the bituminous fields, despite the federal injunctions which forbid the work of organizers in the affected districts.

526 TALESMAN
 SUMMONED FOR
 BURCH'S TRIAL
Examine 2O3, This Being Los Angeles Record; Expense Enormous. Taxpayers Grumble of Laws Delay in Cases Involving Rich Folk.

LOS ANGELES, April 21. - Before the jury was finally selected for the trial of Arthur c. Burch, on a charge of murdering John Belton Kennedy, in collision with Madelynne Obenchain, 526 talesmen were summoned and 203 had been examined and were in the jury box today. The remainder claimed exemption and were excused for various reasons.
 This is said to be new record for Los Angeles county.
 The thirteenth (alternate) juror was obtained this afternoon and testimony was begun when J. D. Kennedy, father of the slain man, took the witness stand.
 Taxpayers are complaining bitterly, through the press, against the enor- nous cost of the Burch, Obenchain and other trials, and of the laws de- lay and costly system of handling cases involving rich persons, while swift justice is meted out to the poor.

'LANDLUBBERS'
 DRIVE BARGAIN
 WITH CONGRESS
Interior States Will Support Subsidy Only in Return for Favor. Ultimatum May Result in Passage of Marine Bill, Now Pending.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-"Land- lubber" members of Congress from the interior States today informed the Senate and House Merchant Marine Committee, that the neces- sary support of the Middle West and Central States to the Presidents ship subsidy rpogram is dependent absolutely upon a guarantee that the new trade routes established by the Shipping Board from the many South Atlantic and Gulf ports shall not be discontinued.
 The congressman were spokesmen for the representatives of commercial organizations in the Mississippi Basin.
 The Committee realizes the im- possibility of putting through the merchant marine subsidy program without the support of the interior States, and for this reason is con- sidering seriously the "ultimatum" or bargain offered today.

WASHINGTON-The Democratic cyclone Tuesday has produced crisis in the fortunes of the Harding ad- ministration and the Republican par ty, for the apparent Repub- lican majorities in both houses will be so slender that Progressives, ,Inde- pendents imbued with a spirit of in- surgency will hold the balance of power and either dictate or obstruct legislation. It is all apparent that extraordinary unsettling of party lines in Congress is destined to exert a profound influence on political his tory during the next two years. Among the effects foreseen are the making and breaking of numerous presidential booms in both parties and among the possibilities is a re- turn of Democrats to complete power in the presidential and congressional electin of 1924.
