PERILED By STIES
However Trouble Is Ended,
Opposition Will Arise.
PUBLIC BECOMES FACTOR
Harding Administration Liable to
Charge of Halting Trade
If Clashes Persist.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
CCopyrtgrht by the New York Evening
Post. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 27.
(Special.) Washington, including
both republicans and democrats,
speculates dally on the possible
political consequences of the coal
end railway etrikes, but does not
yet Bee any definite political re
sults in eight. Administrations
rarely go through strikes as im
portant as these without being af
fected, politically, one way or the
other. But the course of the Hard
ing administration so far, in re
gard to the coal strike particularly,
has been such as not to cause any
crystallzation either of favor or
antagonism on the part of any group
.concerned. i
So far as there is any alignment
at all, it is probably in the direc
tion of resentment on the part of
toth miners and the operators.
Mr. Wilson Wins rubor.
The course which President Wil
son chose in the railroad strike
of 1916 was such as to give him
a degree of favor from the railroad
workers that remained with him
until the end of his public career,
ana which to a large extent remains
with William G. McAdoo as a polit
ical asset to this day. From the
point of view of the Harding ad
"ministration, the coal etrike 'broke"
in such a way as not to seem to
line it up with either faction, and
not to cause either hostility on the
part of one, or favor on the part
of the other. The picture presented
to the public was that of both sides
refusing the president's proposal of
arbitration. This averted the ne
cessity of the administration seem
ing to line up on the side of a
willing party against an unwilling
one.
Mine Owners Oppose Roosevelt.
In President Roosevelt's adminis
tration the miners accepted Roose
velt's proposal and the operators
refused. The result was that Roose
velt seemed to be standing with the
miners against the mine owners.
That result had consequences that
lasted to the end of Roosevelt's life.
It was the initial episode of that
phase of Roosevelt's career which
brought to him the general support
and friendliness of labor, and caused
him to be, for a period, the object
of the destestation of all those sec
tions of public opinion which nat
urally would sympathize with the
mine owners.
Although the Harding adminis
tration so far, both in fact and in
seeming, has pursued a course which
has not caused either side to charge
It with favor toward the other, it
1b by no means free from political
menace of the most serious kind.
Public Will Judge Harding.
The administration will be judged
by the public, both as to its con
duct at each step of the controversy,
' and also, in the end, as to its suc
cess in managing the strike as a
whole.
The slowing up of prosperity as
a result of the strike naturally
would tend to affect adversely the
popularity of any administration
and any party in power. It is the
fear of this unpopularity that often
leads an administration to take
steps which essentially are unsound,
for the sake of political expediency.
The republicans have been count
ing confidently on steadily-increasing
prosperity as one of the chief of
their assets in the coming con
gressional elections. As republican
leaders up to a few weeks ago were
in the habit of expressing it, "by
election day in November, there
won't be an unemployed man in the
country." v
Business Distress Looms.
Obviously, if the strike continues,
with a condition in which we have
almost a war-time status of ra
tioning fuel and railroad facilities,
there will be by November not busi
ness prosperity, but business dis
tress. Nevertheless, in this as in
all other" respects the republicans
are the beneficiary of the fact that
the democrats are not organized to
take advantage of the luck which,
with increasing steadiness, blows
their way.
As things stand today, it is dif
ficult to imagine the democrats be
ing able to take advantage of any
combination of circumstances to the
extent of capturing control of the
next congress. It is as certain as
anything can be that the repub
licans will suffer serious losses,
but those losses would have to be
phenomenal; In fact, In the nature
of an earthquake, to reduce the re
publicans to a minority.
Republican Decrease Certain.
The republicans now have almost
two members of the lower house
to the democrats' one. The repub
lican majority is 168, in a total of
432; that is 300 republicans to 132
democrats.
Under any circumstances, strike
or no strike, this republican ma
jority was destined to be reduced
to less than half what is now is.
But it would take something almost
unprecedented in politics to reduce
the republicans to a minority.
INDEPENDENT MAY RUN

George Story.

S HELD FICTITIOUS
"Straw Man" Wrote Hard

I ADflD
LHOUn
MAN SUPRISED
Identity of Sender or Capacity
in Official Union Circles
Not Determined.
NEW YORK, July 27. (By the
Associated Press.) That "a man of
straw" a fictitious personage with
out official standing in labor cir
cles sent President Harding the
message which last night drew a
lengthy reply from the White House
reiterating the government's posi
tion, on the rail and coal strikes,
was the belief expressed here today
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. i
The message to Mr. Harding pre
dicted that "to attempt to operate
the mines or the railroads .by mili
tary forces, or to attempt to draft
men" would result in the approach
of "the long-predicted war 'between
capital and labor."
It wu signed "J. Cleve Dean,
chairman Railway Employes' Pub
licity association."
Mr. Gompers Surprised.
The president addressed' a reply
to the alleged author of the mes
sage in which he said in part:
"If you mean to challenge the
righteousness of free men to pro
tection in their lawful pursuits
against interference and violence, I
will be glad to join you in submit
ting that question to the decision of
the American people."
Mr. Gompers expressed surprise
that the administration should have
shown such concern over the J.
Cleve Dean message as to have re
plied to It, especially since, the
labor leader asserted, the White
House apparently was "all in the
dark" as to the identity of the
sender or his capacity., in official
circles of organized labor.
J. Cleve Dean Unknown.
"The White House called me yes
terday, asking if I knew this man,"
said Mr. Gompers. "I told them I
did not and had no record of him as
an official of American labor. I
consulted all the records in Wash
ington and in such eastern cities as
I could reach and even telephoned
rail headquarters in Chicago in an
effort to learn who was J. Cleve
Dean. No one knew anything about
him, or had ever heard of him and
I informed the White House to that
effect.
"I am positive of one thing and
that is that the author of the letter
to President Harding is not chair
man of the Railway Employes' Pub
licity association.- In view of the
undetermined position of the man,
am surprised the president an
swered him.
"Straw Han" Is View.
'The - longer I think bout it the
more I am convinced that J. Cleve
Dean was 'just a straw man,' set up
by interested persons for a purpose
which should be plainly evident"
Mr. Gompers expressed regret
that he was unable to remain in
Washington today while the ex
pected conference of B. M. Jewell
with President Harding and other
federal representatives was in prog
ress.
I feel certain that a meeting be
tween these gentlemen at this stage
of the rail strike will result in a
settlement within a very few days,
he declared. The federation chief
came here to address representa
tives of striking cloakmakers.
REHEARING TO BE ASKED
Case Involving Herman Creek
Ponds Revived by State Body. '
SALEM. Or., July 27. (Special.)
The Oregon supreme court will be
asked to grant a rehearing in the
case of the former state fish and
game commission against A. D.
Hawk, defendant, and S. S. Mohler,
appellant, involving condemnation
proceedings, whereby the state asks
to regain control of certain feeding
ponds on Herman creek, in Hood
River county, for the maturing of
baby fish. This was announced
here today by I. H. Van Winkle, attorney-general.
The case had its origin in 1914.
Tuesday of this week the circuit
court of Hood River county was
reversed and the case was decided-!
against the fish and game commis
sion. The opinion was written by
Justice Bean.
The attorney-general will con
tend in his petition for rehearing
that the legislative act of 1915 was
intended to preserve the scenic
beauty of the Columbia river high
way, but was not passed with a
view of blocking the fishing indus
try, which in no way would conflict
with the law.
ECONOMIC ISSUE FIRST
Mr. Watkins Favors Living and
Saving Wage for Workers.

; " cJ "Merchandise
soctation relative to economic mat
ters. Mr. Watkins replies that the
problem of economic Justice towers
above all others and that he favors
not only a living wage but making
a saving wage the first charge
against industry..
The remedy he proposes for un
employment is more rigid restriction
on immigration, better co-operative
marketing facilities, closer co-operation
between the units of govern
ment, public improvements during
periods of depression and convert
ing money heretofore expended for
battleships to reclamation of swamp
and arid lands, highway construc
tion and development of rivers and
harbors.
High war costs following the war
he explains as caused by the greed
of profiteers and the impossibility
of turning a war machine overnight
into a peace machine.
The remedy Mr. Watkins offers
for excessive prices is to repeal such
laws as foster monopoly, economy
both public and private, pitiless pub
licity and an excess profit tax.
