eral policy in the coal and rail stri!:e
situations.
The message was directed particul
arly to the chief executives of the
coal producing states, where the gov

the coal and rail matters have become
most serious.

telegrams directing the operators of ; and newly papered

cause of strike conditions to resume
operation at once and requesting the
governors of those states in which the
mines operate to furnish such mili
tary protection as may be needed. If
Btate troops find it impossible to cope
with the situation, federal troops, it
was understood, may eventually be em
ployed. Representatives of the bituminous
coal mine operators were "invited" by
President Harding at the White House
Monday "to return to your mine pro
erties and resume operations" after
they had replied to the president's
tender of arbitration for settling the
national coal strike with a collective
offer to put their properties and their
service at the disposal of the govern
ment "in this crisis."
There were intimations in official
circles that all the implications of the
decision to ask that the mines be open
ed had been fully cons'dered by the
government and there was a possibil
ity that the protection of troops and
the American flag would be furnished

The terms oi' the Smith-McNary
bill now before congress are such
that the Umatilla rapids project may
be built under that law, a district
being formed in Oregon and one in
Washington, if the project is taken
up by the reclamation service, accord
ing to Chas. L. McNary.
Following the recent meetings in
Portland the senator was queried as
to this point and his wire to the East
Oregonian set the matter at rest. His
telegram is as follows:
"Chief council interior Depart
ment, after Investigating Umatilla
Rapids project of your letter of July
7, says provision of my bill can apply
to this case. Two irrigation districts
should be organized, one In each
state. Total cost of whole project
would be allowed against lands and
each district would issue bonds and
make its contract with the United
States to cover lands within its
boundaries. Reclamation service
has similar situation with the Yellow
stone project located in Montana and
North Dakota"
Chas. L. McNary.
The point was taken up with Sena
tor McNary by the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce abo it being desired
to have the Smith-McNary bill so
worded as to make it certain that a
project may be considered when land
lies in two or more state.

ic conditions are bad, France is mark
ing time aud Austria shows some
signs of improvement, according to
reports to the commerce department
from Its representatives Iu those coun
tries. Failure of plans for foreign loans
has brought about the new period
of currency depression in Germany,
it was reported, but Oerman indus
try in general Is profiting by the
decline, as it gives a new opportunity
fur dumping abroad and for increased
Inland sales. Many Industries, how
ever, are hampered by lack of ooal
and rising labor costs. French ex
change was said to be steadily de
clining, but employment Increasing,
and the general industrial situation
has shown no important development
during the past month.
Slight Improvement In the Anstrlan
economic situation was seen. The
serious conditions arising iu June on
account of exhaustion of British credit
and delays in other credits has not
materially improved, but exchange Is
coming back slowly and the situation
Is clearing up slightly with the final
granting of the French credit aud the
actual receipt of 20,000,000 francs.
