BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington. Aug. 10.-Between
President Coolidge and private
citizen of Boston named Franklin
stearns. there is an unusual relation
Because the easiest way TO describe
such relation is to express it in
terms OF analogy. to something else
already we'll known, good many
have been speaking OF this relation
in terms OF the relation of Mark
Hanna 10 Mckinley. and OF Colonel
House 10 Wilson In fact, however.
there is not much more in this
analogy than the common element of
a devoted friendship in ell three
cases. Mark Hanna was super
politician; Colonel House In his quiet
way, was no small figure as a poll
tician and has a legitimate zeal TO
function in the field Of craftsmanship
and mold the world 10 his conception
OF better things
Mr.. Stearns, on the other hand. is
no politician at all. The relation be.
tween Coolidge and Stearns is purely
romantic. II Is more like the relation
of father to son than anything else
Stearns was an older graduate OF
Amherst college and a trustee OF u.
In the course OF time Coolidge. as n
younger graduate making his way
in public life. came TO Stearns, at.
tention. Stearns liked him and de
termined TO push him along. Stearns
called the attention OF other influen-
tial Amherst graduates TO their young
fellow alumnus. and made him the
center of a loyal group OF Amherst
graduates who took pride in Coohdge's $
career.
No Excuses or Explanations.
There are two true stories about
Coolidge which are strongly Illus.
trative OF his habit OF mind and way
of doing things. One of these stories
happens to include the history OF ths
beginning OF his acquaintance with
Stearns
Stearns. with the other trustees Of
Amherst. was putting sewer system
to the college and wanted to connect
it with the sewer system Of the ad
joining town of Northampton. This
required a formal act OF the leeisla-
ture. Inasmuch as Coolidge was the
representative Of Northampton In the
Legislature. and was also an alumnus
of Amherst, they went to him 10 put
through the necessary legislation.

Cuno Rule
mo Confidence" Resolution
of Socialists in Germany
Likely to Mean End of
Cuno Government.
Strike Situation Is Grave

Berlin, Aug. 10.-The early retire
ment of Chancellor Cuno and his
ministry seems foreshadowed, In con-
sequence of the decision of the united
socialists to support the mo conf
dence'' motion introduced by the com
munists. which will come up for d
vote in the reichstag on Monday.
The strike movement, which is
bringing about tremendous dis
crepancy between increasing food
prices and the wages of workmen,
threatens to become exceedingly seri-
Gus. However, the strike at the state
printing works ended by agreement
today. and the presses again are turn.
ing out billions of paper marks.
This strike, which tied up the
reiehsbank, was in violation OF the
decision of the ministry of labor,
which awarded a wage of approx
mately 100000 paper marks weekly
to the men who demanded 20 gold
marks.
Shipyards Closed.
Nearly all the Hamburg sfipyards
are closed because the managers have
been unable to aecede TO the workers
demands for immediate increases in
wages. Among the workers general.
ly there is a disposition 10 take re-
course TO strikes unless wages are
substantially increased. Even in the
big factories. where strikes have not
occurred, there is a disposition 10
adopt the tactics Of "cacanny." or
passive resistance.
The average wage of the workers
is between 10 and Is gold marks
monthly. but butter. for example.
costs 100000 paper marks pound.
Premius of 100 per cent were paid
freely on the Bourse today for paper
marks. which now are so scarce that
hesitate to pay for them at the rate
Of two for one.
Banks Lock Doors.
The strike of the printers had COM
plicated gravely the moneyless sit
uation by tieing up the uneounted
batteries OF the reichsbanks printing
presses. The reichsbank and all the
big and little private banks locked
their gates at noon to escape the long
lines of clamoring patrons.
While the currency shortage is not
void OF humorous phases. 1t neverthe-
less is contributing a serious aspect
to the prevailing nervousness and ir.
ritability, since 1t is inconYeniencing
the workers and middle classes who
are accustomed TO ready cash.
The Prussian government today
was unable to mobilize enough cur
rency to meet its police payroll and
the officers are now in much the same
plight as tourists, who are unable
to lay their hands on sufficient cur.
reney to pay their hotel bills and
railroad fares.
The General Electric company was
the first of the big Industrial plants

reau for the benefit of its employees.
