Beader -j . - -r (Cifitcd 3m Staff Commoodcnt) (CopyrIht 1921, by CniUd Xen) Washington. Aur. 1. President Harding, Crafting a statement to con gress and country on the strike! situa tion. Is handling political dynamlts-j and knows It. '. '. j However, he may explain the pro longation of the two upheaval which have chaotically disturbed business re covery, and' whatever he may suggest. If anything, by way of additional leg fetation, there is certain to be -a reac tion from one side or the other, de signed to make campaign material. Furthermore, if he . should obtaijn immediae amendment of the Esch-, ' Cummins law, to "put teeth" Into labor board decisions, or should make the highly improbable and - generally un expected" request or power to seise the railroads, be might splithls own party asunder, , -. ; -- i . AH this has been made clear to him. THIS IS POLITICAL TEAS ' j This Is a political year. 1 started out with congress directing most of the administrative business, coming in for much abuse in the doing, and with Harding's personal popularity at high tide. It nears its end with' the execu tive end of the avenue in full charge rf tHj, nitlnn'a tmuhlcn. with conrrea- sionai cajiaiaates ror renonuniuon un erally approved by their constituents and with the pendumn of public dis favor swinging over to the executive side of the government. House and senate -candidates for re election this fall have noted the swing of the strikes. They se in no mood, therefore, to have "the buck passed" to them for the unsavory work of tak ing up politically hazardous industrial legislation. ' BAIL LaW AIT ISSUE Most of the Republicans have been campaigning with pride on the "less government in business" slogan. Many of them, including Senator Lafollette, Smith Brookhart in Iowa and Repre sentative Fess in Ohio, ' are going to make their campaign with the Esch Cummins law as an issue. This is the law which would have to be amended to inject "teeth" Into the railroad la bor board, ' Fess, just nominated a the Repub lican candidate for senator, against Senator Pomerene, Democrat, in Ohio, cheerfully . points to . his - record oh smothering the "teeth" provision In the labor board after the senate, with the aid of Pomerene, had put the teeth in. So he says: - "This is no time to amend the law to give the labor board power to en force Its decrees. Nor is it the time to grant authority to the president for seizing the roads." PARTY MEIf BITIBED . Representative Phil Campbell, chair man of m the house rules committee, -just defeated for renomination In Kan sas, remarks crisply: "We have, laws enough to handle the strikes. Wo don't need any more. - Senator Cummins, who has no politi cal worries dead- ahead of him, but. who would be in control of any legis lation, either for -amending the Esch- - . i - ( r ... 1 1 roads, says s -J i. "There may. be gome changes in the law next session not this.' I have rea son to believe there is no intention to seller the roads now." - : . . SOW rP. TO HABDtSd' " The dominant feeling 6t congress is that the president's "work 'in the mat ter of handling the-stritfs -situations is a personal matter with; ', him. They have urged him to make report on it to the country, r He. Is going to make the reports He feels that, placed as he has been, at the heart of the situ ation throughout, it will be a report based on a thorough knowledge and un derstanding, Believing this, he be lieves the country will understand and support what he has; done and what, if any recommendations, he may deem necessary for legislative consideration now. But what those recommendations are will determine whether his statement is received with political cheers or jeers in both parties. Ft (Conuaatd From Po On) be made to indue visitors at the expo-?

'f ' - SEIZURE POSSIBLE. , Second.'.-he-will recount every step taken by 'the government to try to end f the terike by peaceful means, and give the reason pt their failure. Third, the will ; then figuratively "wash his handa" of the whole situa tion and inform congress that the gov ernment has reached the end of its rope to trying to establish peace. Fourth, he will affirm the govern ment's Intention of affording protec tion to those railroads able to main tain service, by -troops if necessary, and for the roads unable to fulfill. Iheir public obligations he will suggest other means probably federal receiv ership. Looming in the background of the president's message Is a final alterna tive, should these steps rail, to maintain transportation government aeisure- but it was undecided today whether this threat should be given a place in tomorrow's communication. . Whether it is there or not, administration offi cials asserted today, it is ever, present as the government's final alternative. STOCK IS BAB Tne weight of a presidential mess age coming on top of a presidential or der that the safety rules affecting lo comotives must be enforced, is ex pected to have a sobering effect upon both the "die hard" executives and the "hard boiled" leaders among the strik ing railroad workers. And. Tightly or wrongly, administration officials were confident today that, something will come of tomorrow's joint conference between the executives and the union leaders. Despite the denials and statements put forward by railway executives, the fact stood forth with unmistakable prominence today that the rolling stock of railroads is in- a deplorable condi tion and is steadily becoming worse as a result of six weeks' suspension of re pairs., - "We are takieg , steps-and will be compelled to. continue to proceed In a1 manner which must bring about serious withdrawals -of-" motive": power'; from service," said C C. McChord, chair man of .the interstate commerce com mission, in a letter tot the president WIXI, KOT YIELD The president's reply was a direct or der to the interstate commerce commis sion to "diminish service rather than attejnpt to move trains on which safety is not assured." The nature of the proposal which the brotherhood leaders will make to the executives at tomorrow's , New York conference "was not disclosed today by union heads, meeting here. It- was - asserted with poaitlveness, however, that there will be no yielding by the striking shopmen- on the issue of, seniority the rock upon which all peace efforts have smashed.

Approxir mately 915,000,000 wor of fruit which California' growers had feared would be a complete loss was either on Its way to Eastern markets today or was being packed in readiness to move as a. result of an almost complete clearing up of the critical ran situation on the Pacific coast, brought about by wide spread walkouts of "Big Four" broth erhood trainmen. . Packing bouses which had shut down because of curtailment of fruit shipments reopened today, picking crews returned to the orchards and the whole Industry which yesterday faced disaster was keyed up to a high pitch as a result of favorable developments in the rail situation. All transcontinental arteries were hopen to a greater or lesser degree to day, except ono and conferences were tinder way -through which the Western Pacific hoped to be able to announce resumption of train service. Pleas -of the fruit r rowers were largely instrumental In sending back, tol weir cans members of the "Big Four" brotherhoods together with : conceA aions from the railroad companies with regard to the character of guards eni ployed and the nature of equipment used. ' The resumption of traffic " will not fully efface the loss to the stateV fruit growers. : C058rRS TO PAT ; .

".':'" '- PAY TRUCK FEES PLAN TO IMPROVE STREETS MAY BE DROPPED BY CITY Apathy en the 'part of property wners directly interested, and ' belief of the dock commission that it t-can get along with a lesser improvement for paved road access to terminal N6. 4, may be the cause of the city coun cil abandoning the plans' for the" pav ing of certain, portions b,f St. Johns avenue, Jersey street and Kellogg street, as planned by City Engineer jaurgaara, and adoption or a more limited, project, A statement from the dock commit slon has been sent to the council in whichi it says that practically-no sig natures of property owners -have been secured to the petitions for the pro posed Improvement after nearly two montiss of effort, and that the com mission feels that' "this contemplated Improvement is not of sufficient im portance to the operation- of terminal No. 4 to warrant the expenditure of S17.1U at this time." . ' -The city engineer's estimate is that it would cost the dock commission $9113 for the paving of the space along the streetcar line it owns and operates, and $8000 for the terminal No. 4 as sessment. Tha plan now favored by the com mission is for a lesser improvement. The communication says that terminal No. 4 will be adequately served for several years by completing only the paving of Jersey street north of Cat lin street to full width between curbs, and saving St. Johns avenue intersec tion and the east half of Kellogg street from -St. Johns avenue to the railroad viaduct, which would give a 23-foot roadway. i If this is done, says the dock com mission, it will contribute its share of the estimated cost of this lesser 1m provemeiit. The cjty engineer has es timated the cost at $12,000, of which $7000 is left over from -county appro priation, says the dock commission, and this would leave but $5000 to be raised by assessment. OBDtXAKCE ACKS CITY TO BUY NATIONAL FOREST LAND Cittf Commissioner Mann, in charge of the bureau of -water works, will in troduce an ordinance at Wednesday's session of the city council providing for the acceptance of the offer of C.

The ordinance will authorize issuance of a warrant for that amount to Lewis, payable from the water fund. The Sand is located on Camp creek, and isne of the few remaining parcels held under private 'ownership within the Bull Run watershed. The policy of the city has been to acquire such pri vate holdines as rapidly as possible when they are held.-at reasonable prices.

The breakdown J! the conference involving the virtual end of the entente leaves ' the people stunned as- they had supposed up to the last - moment that at least some pretense of an agreement would be made. ,The falling exchanges on the continent and the further weakening of Hungary's financial position are the first results registered. Newspapers here are not as yet di rectly considering the fearful conse quences which , seem certain unless there is a sudden re pent nee on both sides of the channel. The British gov ernment, though weakened by the Bal four note, has the solid opinion of L the majority with it on the French question. The French belief that the failure of this conference means the fall of Prime Minister Lloyd George is vain. What Europe Is about to face' will be decided largely by the action of French parliament and . the British cabinet in the near future. At present few have any clear idea of what must be done next.
