Hoover failed 10 carry the presiden-

West Virginia. Also in 1922 Harding

the New York bankers could control
the rail presidents and help out a
little. Hoover went there 10 another
private conference: the veil never
has been completely lifted. but the
fact remains that nothing was accom-

were aroused.

the Harding administration got un-
der sail. The government had to
unwind the tangle of war in 40 diff

railroads were desperately situated;
var wage levels had to be adjusted,
and international relations, usually

considered in the light of the eco

all the nation. Hoover's reputation
was soon to be tested: the president

Hoover's long experience in or
ganiZation let him climb free al
most instantly OF the departmental
routine that sometimes buries a
cabinet officer for the rest Of his
political life. He had his desk clear
and in 3 matter OF weeks was fitting
genially from one conference 10 an
other. He worked out a well defined
method for such things. First there
would be a preliminary Hoover in.
vestigation Of the situation coming
up. and then there would be some
quiet and unnoted meetings with
parties ut interest and supposedly
best informed. This second stage
was frequently around the Hoover

All was far from being rosy with
the various Hoover forays into the

industry, riven by strife and strike,
the conference methods scored some
thing close TO failure. The repeated
