! AWAITING OUTCOME <
BEFORE GIVING ft
Washington, Aug. 17. ? President
!larding today decided to defer his address
to congress on the industrial situation
until tomorrow or a later date.
Washington, Aug. 16 (By the Associated
Press).?Agreement between
railroad executives and railroad labor 1
; ? organizations to hold another conference
tomorrow in New York to seek
a settlement of the shopmen's strike,
it Was said today, had resulted in
President Harding questioning the desirability
of muking his exDected re
port to congress and the country on
the strike s'tuation within the next
few hours. Plans made for the reception
of his communication tomorrow
at a joint session of the house and
senate consequently were understood
to be on the verge of a revision tonight
as the president was represented
as being desirous of withholding
his statement of the case if the un%
ions' chiefs and the railroad presidents
could hold out any prospect of a
final satisfactory settlement.
Heads of the seven unions met today
with the officials of unions not involved
in the controversy and after
some delay reached a decision to take
almost the entire group to New York
for the discussions of the executives.
Though officers of the five organizations
cf train service employees, the
engineers, firemen, conductors, brake
men and switchmen, will be the onlvj
ones actually to meet with the committee
of raliroad executives, their
chairman, Warren S. Stone, declared
they desired close at hand all the
Q strike leaders and the spokesmen for
all the other railroad unions. Some
objection to this plan developed
among: the strike leaders but they finally
arranged to send most of their
group, including B. M. Jewell, their
chairman, to New York, and to call in
all concerned in case any. settlement
. i.; '
i'f-V, jd w
case of their return to work could not
' be modified, and the view of the strike
leaders appeared to coincide entirely
with this position. The seniority question
has been the crucial issue iri the
strike situation ever since the organi'
zations now out of service agreed to
order their men back pending rehearing
before the railroad labor board
of wage cuts which went into effect
July 1.
(rresiaent Mamson of the Southern
railway, who announced early this
week, after attempting unsuccessfully
to deal separately with the striking
unions on the basis of granting them
the seniority demand, that the Southern
would proceed to employ outside
.r.en, issued a statement today declaring
that "people all over the South
. . . now demand that this strike
be fought out." Public opinion could
^ restore normal transportation, he
said, but if it "supports the determination
of the striking shopmen to
disregard the tribunal set up by congress
to do them justice, and agrees
that they may write their own pay;
checks, then there may be a resumption
of work on that basis, but freight
rates must be again increased."
8 President Harding, who was understood
to be preparing his message to
congress, held discussions concerning
it during the day with Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader in the
senate. It was considered certain,
advisers said, that he would not reIc.uest
legislation to deal with the rail
strike, although it was regarded as
probable he would assure congress
that such a request would be made if
the situation necessitated.
It was said to be his intention to
explain the whole industrial situation
in the light of steps taken by the administration
with reference to the
strikes and it was considered probable
that he would express determination
to give federal aid and protection
to efforts to keep the- railroads
running. This determination, it was
suggested, inclined him to delay his
pronouncements for a few hours at
least, lest they affect the continued
efforts of non-striking unions to mediate
for the strikers.
Railroad traffic is continuing to
maintain a fair volume, according to
reports to thj Acsoci_w~.i c* Railway
Executives, during the week ended
August 5, 851,315 cars being loaded
with freight. This was said to he
a reduction of 8,382 cars from the
previous week, but an increase of 65,!
173 cars over the corresponding week
of 1921. On July 31, the association
ji also said, there were 174,927 surplus
freight cars in good repair on lines
immediately available for service.
This was a decrease of 28,895 cars
from the number in surplus on July
23.

WARNING GIVEN
HOME BREWERS
Washington, Aug. 11 (By the Assoanti-Volsteadans,
beware the "Boozj
Powder/' is th,e warning sent broadcast
by tha uQatofflco department, in
n recent circular. For stumbling i
tide of "dehydrated" alcoholic beverages
of reminiscent names is a steady
job of the fraud section of the depart
ment.
Using the reputation of German
chemists certain German concern:-,
have distributed hundreds of thoufnnds
of circulars in the United
Elates, offering for "$1 only, Rhine
wine, moselle, shetTy, port, bordeaux,
burgundy, tokay, Munich beev, Pilsener,
porter, ale, etc.," in a dried form,
says the postofflce. From the powder
a gallon or two of the beverage ind.cated
on the package can be made,
the spurious circulars claim.
Despite the issuance of fraud warnings
and fraud orders, many people
nre still sending money to these German
concerns only to have the money
returned to them by the postoffkc
department. If these powders contained
alcohol their importation would
be prohibited and since they do not
l ave the latent possibilities advertised
they violate the mail fraud statutes.
A significant requirement, adds
the department warnings, is that evcry
advertising circulars insists on
payment being made in American
currency.
