Strike Menace Grows
throughout Germany

Berlin, Aug. 10.-(By A. P.)-Ihe
strike movement which is bringing
abount a tremendous discrepancy be-
tween increasing food prices and the
wages of workmen, threatens to be-
come exceedingly serious. However,
the strike at the state printing works
ended by agreement today and the
presses again are turning out billions
of paper marks.
The strike which tied up the Reichs
bank was in violation of the decision of
the ministry of labor which awarded
wage of approximately 100000 pa
per marks weekly to the men, who de-
manded 20 gold marks.
Nearly all the Hamburg shipyards
are closed because the managers have
been unable to accede to the workers
demands for immediate increases in
wages. Among the workers generally
there is disposition to take recourse
to strikes unless wages are substan-
TALLY increased. Even in the big fac
tories where strikes have not occurred
there is disposition to adopt passive
resistance.
The average wage of the workers is
between~l0 and i gCJn marks monthly.

AUGUSTA M0uRNS WITH NATION
while PRESIDENT HARDING IS
TAKEN TO final RESTING PLACE

taat next to Lincoln. Harding was
the most human man who ever occu-
pea the executive chair" During the
last presidential campaign Mrs.
Harding said Il want the people to
know that we are just folks like
themselves" Rulers who are Just
Iolks" get near the people. President
Harding knew the people over whom
he ruled. We feel that we knew him.
Our grief Is deep and sincere because
1t Is personal.
He was a lover Of peace. No
man with his characteristics of mind
and heart could be otherwise. He
wanted peace with his political asso-
ciates and rivals. His rule, in his
own words. was mot to hurt any
ones feelings" He wanted peace
with the world. 1t is fitting that,
perhaps, the most outstanding
achievement Of his administration
was the Disarmament Conference
which, he said, revealed to the
world the way q peace" There can
longings of his own heart when he
said at st. Louis: MY soul yearns
for peace His last earthly plea was
for the World Court and peace,
which, he declared, Sought to be the
supreme blessing of all mankind"
"He was a religious man, "pro-
foundry and sincerely religious" says
Cardinel O'Connell. Life's close was
not with him a tragedy. He did not
believe that life was but "a narrow
vale between the cold and barren
peaks of two eternities.' He believed
that there is an hereafter and that
there shall be no night there" ana
that, so long Gods power had blest
him Sl1ro if still would lead him on
And such is the belief of his people.
With the firing of the three volleys
by q squad from the American Le-
gion and the blowing Of taps, the
brief but most impressive exercises
came to an end.

Sec. Christian to
Enter Business; Gives
Resignation Coolidge

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 10 (By A. P.)
George B. Christian. secretary to
Warren G.. Harding as United States
senator and as president, announced
tonight that he had submitted his
resignation as executive secretary
to President Coolidge.
Mr.. Christian made his announce
ment soon after he had returned
from the final services for his dead
chief.
II entered public life with War
rem G. Harding and I leave it now
that he has been called away" the
announcement said. For nearly
nine years l worked beside him and
my present sorrow is somewhat as
suaged by the feeling of satisfac-
ton as having been permitted to
serve a great president, most
humane and considerable chief, and
the finest friend it has ever been
given a man to have. l left at
Washington my resignation for the
acceptance of President Coolidge
with a tender of any services l may
be able to render him and any as
sistance I can give his secretary.
1t is my expectation to enter private
business just as soon as 1 may be
able to complete my arrangements
Mr.. Christian added informally
that he had no desire to continue in
public office and would not look
with favor on any federal appoint
ment. The former secretary left
here tonight for Washington with
10 IN icf hnr
moving personal belongings from
the White House and to clear up
the desk of the late President. He
may continue to live in Washington
for few months but expects to go
into private business soon.
The relations between the late
president and his secretary were
ideal. The president relied greatly
on George" as he ever called him,
and Mr.. Christian was faithful to
his chief. When Mr.. Harding was
| selecting his staff of advisers and
assistants prior to taking up the
presidency, there were some Re-
publican leaders who urged others
for the secretaryship, but Mr.. Hard
ing soon gave these leaders to
understand that inasmuch as Mr..
Christian had been loyal to him
when political fortunes were not so
favorable he would under no cir
cumstances make a change on en-
tering the White House. Mr.. Chris
tan also was every ready to sup
port and defend his chief and there
was very warm friendship be-
tween the two men, friendship
as strong as that which had existed
for years here in Marion between
the Hardings and the Christians.

New low prices for wheat had no effect. While trading is extremely dull believe that the market continues know that some of the most conservative and well informed bankers view the sit uation with perfect equanimity. They are optimistic and think that the present situation is clear and clean cut. Further more, they advise against the sale of good good news to put prices up.

NEW YORK. July 6.-(special)-The Liverpool market very much lower than expected this morning as result of the speech of Premier Poincare of the French republic which 1t feared would upset the entente cordiae between England and France. As a consequence our market opened some 30 points off from Saturdays close and has been slight ly lower during the greater part of the session.
 The trade discouraged because re- gently each time the market has shown signs of advancing on the unfavorable weather some outside influence has come along to check the market, causing re- cent buyers to resell.
 Extreme heat continues over the west ern belt and 1t is questionable whether the scattered showers have been of bene- fit, as what Is needed is good soaking rain over Texas. We believe that until this has taken place the chances are in favor of some Improvement in the market, although it must be admitted that the dry goods trade continues to be extremely dis appointing and unsatisfactory, causing the mills to refrain from buying but scattered lots for fall shipment.
 Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow October, lS:16d; January, 12.60d.-Hub- bard Bros. & Co.
