' . NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS President Harding Still Tries to Bring the Railway Strike to an End. CONFERS WITH THE LEADERS Government's Plan for Fair Distrlbu-tio- n of Fuel and Food and to Curb Profiteering Put Into Operation-Bav- aria in Revolt Against Con- - . trol by Berlin. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT HARDING and his forces devoted them-selves last week almost exclusively to the problems arising from the railway and coal strikes. Thut their efforts might result In the ending of the for-mer was the renewed' hope at the close of the week, for Mr. Harding held a most Important conference with Chairman T. De Witt Cuyler of the American. Association of Railway Executives, and President Jewell of the railway shopmen. His aim presumably was to Induce the rail executives to modify their Ann atti-tude concerning the seniority rule and to persuade the shopmen to recognize' the decision of the railway labor board and return to work pending a rehear-ing of their grievances. After leaving the White House Mr. Cuyler announced that the executive of 14S of the largest railroads In the country would meet In New York on August 1 to talk over a tentative plan for settling the shopmen's strike. He would not tell what Mr. Harding had suggested, but denied that he bad asked the executives to recede from their position on the seniority rule. The presidents of western roads Insisted the strikers would not be taken back with full seniority rights restored. Having abandoned for the time be-ing any hope of ending the coal win-ters' strike, the President and his aids turned their attention to the question of averting the threatened fuel fam-ine and followed up the call on the various state executives to facilitate nnd protect the resumption of mining with measures designed to Insure a fair distribution of such coal as Jnay be produced nnd to curb profiteering. Secretary of Commerce Hoover devised a plan which was promptly adopted and put Into effect with the legal of Attorney General Puugher-ty-. It rests upon the powers of the Interstate commerce commission, which body, declaring the existence of a national emergency, took charge of the routing of cars nnd the distri-bution of fuel nnd food. The plan pro-vided for a committee of general super-vision In Washington, to be named by the President nnd which will establish In every coal producing district a rep-resentative and a committee of oper-ators. Also, there Is an administra-tive committee comprising representa-tives of the presidential committee to-gether with representatives of oper-ators, representatives of the railways, snd where necessary, representatives of the larger consuming groups. The bus! of prices agreed upon between the operators and the secre-tary of commerce on June 1 Is to be maintained, except where varied by the presidential committee, nnd tlds same basin of prb-- determination shall be npplled to nil districts which are so far not President Harding announced the ap-pointment of Attorney General Dangli-erty- . Secretary of the Interior Full. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, ant Commissioner Altchlson of the Inter-state commerce commission ns nicni-- , hers of the general committee. Mr. j Hoover Is chairman. A Jlfth meni-- I her was to he added to undertake the administrative direction. Mr. Hoover called on th governors of the pt:i!" to set up stale or .rant ;: tious to co-- i pcr.b'e in the distribution of the nviliahle cosil supplies to the points of greatest nd. Distribution for rn'-ln- own will ti directed from Washington. It was stated theie that states which have large bituminous deposits will be expected to mine their own coal Instead of obtaining It from other fields under the emergency order. IN ILLINOIS the prospects for end-ing the mine strike were slightly brighter. President Farrlngton of the Illinois miners, always nn advocate of separate state agreements, came to the conclusion that the time for putting that policy into action had come and culled a convention of delegates of every local union In the state to meet In Peoria August 3 to consider peace proposals of the operators. Next day he rescinded the call because of "pro-matur-publicity. Acting Governor Sterling asked Farrlngton to consider the proposal that the miners of Illinois return to work at once at the wage scale and under the working condi-tions existing when operations ceased April 1 lust, pending a readjustment of the same by an agreed tribunal, and thot representatives of the miners nnd operators of Illinois should meet and endeavor to arrive at a settlement Farrlngton replied that this plan was Impracticable. ' Orders for Immense quantities of conl hnve been placed In England by Americans but not all of them are be-ing accepted because of market condi-tions there. Prices of coal and ship-ping and freight rates have advonced 'sharply In Great Britain. The British miners may refuse to mine coal for America, and American dock workers may refuse to handle It if It comes. ONE J. Cleve Dean, chairman of railway employees' publicity association, sent to President Harding a telegram bitterly attacking the sup-posed atfltude of the administration toward the two great strikes. He said: "For you or any governor to attempt to operate the mines or railroads by military forces or to attempt to draft men Into mining or railroad service would be an attempt to establish In-voluntary servitude," and he predicted such an attempt would bring on the "long predicted war between capital and labor." He asserted, also, that the Republican party was hostile to the American fanner and labor and that "the hard times that now exist Is a premeditated plan to bring the farm-er nnd labor down to their knees." Mr. Harding's reply to this outburst, while dignified, was a scathing rebuke of Dean's "political partisan refer-ences" and of his false assumptions. The President explained at length the attitude of the government and as-serted Its Intention to speak and net not for any one class alone, hut for "the American people as a whole nnd the common good of all Its citizenship," He made It clear that while the right to strike was recognized, the govern-ment would fully protect thoxe who desired to work. The lotter, he snld. In responding to the call of the coun-try, are exercising their rights "nnd nt the snme time making their contrl-bnM'- to our common American wel-fare." CHICAGO'S street car strike was the muklng last week. Hope and despulr alternated, the for-mer fostered by the optimism of In-ternational President Mahon who told the men they must tuke a referendum vote on a new proposal mode by the companies, and the latter due to the pessimism of local President Quintan, who said the employees would accept no offer the employers were likely to make. The workers were called to hold a mass meeting Monday evening of tills week, and Quintan told the Chicago public to prepare to find a strike In effect the following morning.

This, Mr. Smoot supposed, wai the basis of McCumber's statement, but he, Smoot, did uot think Norrls had been authorized by the publishers to make such a threat. McCumber reiterated his statements with added details and was supported by Watsor of Indiana who related how Norrls and other publishers In lfKXI offered to make Joe Cannon president If h would put through a bill placing news-print nnd wood pulp on tiie free list. Cannon, he snld, ordered Norrls froun his otnee. All of this, whether true or not, was highly eutertaining to the Democratic senators. COMMISSIONER BLAIIt of the In- - ternal revenue bureau dealt the liquor Industry a hard blow by further Imports of wines and liquors until the supplies already In the country for nonbevernge uses are Insufficient for national requirements. Secretary Hughes asked, and presum-ably was promised the aid of the Brit-ish government In the suppression of liquor smuggling from Bermuda and the Bahamas. The British govern-ment, however, has refused the unoffi-cial request of the United States for the right to search outside the three mile limit British vessels suspected of being engaged in smuggling liquor Into the United States. i THAT the French ore at lost a point where they will con-sent to a reduction of the German reparations debt Is evidenced by the plan on which premier Polnculre Is working. As it stands now It Is be-ing modified dally the proposition Is that for every dollar paid by Germany on the reparations account and for every dollar of the allied debts which Is canceled, France will cancel at equal amount of a certain class ot bonds.

The order directs roads to give preference in the supply of cars suitable for the loading of coal mines and discontinue the use of coal cars for other purposes, so long as the mine remains unsupplied with coal cars. Noncoal-loadin- g cars are to return coal cars to their maxi-mum capacity or to receive such emp-ties.
