Washington, August 27 (By the Asapoiated Press).?Hi? g*ect saopo of ft* administration's potysy in dealing with ths rail and soal strikes is expected to reveal itself Wit^Wh the next fpw d*r? IS * Wltfdt Uf preparations for legislative sad executive action which appeared tonight to be nearing completion. Whether the emergency legislation to be definitely urged upon congress ~ will Include a presidential authorization to take over and operate rail and coal properties was a question | hwi |iui remained unanswered, but it was indicated that administration Officials probably would make a final f decision on the point in the very a near future. In some quarters it was believed that the proposal to arm the execu* ^ tlve with - these emergency powers would be finally threshed over among the leaders who are with President Harding on his week-end cruise down - th? Potomac, and that a definite announced policy would follow the return here of the presidential yacht Mayflower tomorrow morning. Those in the president's confidence ' said before he left here for the cruise last night that although he still bc, lieved industrial peace would be restored without a resort to government operation; he was inclined to feel that as s precautionary measure he should he given full authority to act before congress begins its contemplated recess. In addition to Secretary Hoover and Attorney General Daugherty, two of the cabinet members who have been particularly active in shaping the government's course during the strike period, the president was accompanied on the Mayflower by Chairman Cummins of the senate Interstate ? commerce commission, who already has drafted for introduction in the senate a hill authorizing the executive to take over and operate any in- . dividual railroad which does not adequately perform its functions as n * common carrier. Before he went aboard the Mayflower Senator Cumn}ins bad itutimtad that his measure M&rrrrtWtr-t tfmfaar ono relating to coal J- early thiss Majority loaders say they are confident that such legislation could be . passed through both senate and house, if the president definitely re- ' . quested it, but at the same time they conceded that congressional approval would be by no means unanimous. Although many members in both V^ii ? J- J?? umum unuiauuiiiK UlHV ine gov ernment take charge of the situation in the most emphatic manner possible, there is a recognized element of strength ranged against any movement that might approximate a re- | ~ turn of the war time government railroad administration. Particular attention was given in congressional circles today to the public statement made last night by Chairman Winslow of the house interstate commerce committee, declaring that, in his opinion, the coal face finding and distribution bills already pending would serve as sufficient warning to the industries involved and that more drastic legislation could safely be withheld for the pres/. ent. It was pointed out also that President Harding's recommendation for a coal purchasing and selling agency had thus far not even resulted in any effort to bring in bills for carrying it into effect, and that even the fact finding and distribution bills had not encountered perfect sailing weather either in senate or house. The senate having laid aside the Borah fact finding bill entirely until the middle of the week because of prolonged attacks upon it, the efforts to deal with the strike problem at both ends of the capitol tomorrow will be confined to committee consideration of the respective distribution bills introduced by Chairman Cummins and Chairman Winslow. In the house committee the Winslow bill will be the subject of a five hour public hearing, at which all persons interested will be permitted to present their views. House leaders plan to call it up in the house on Tuesday. The senate committee with the Cummins distribution measure before it has adopted no definite program of procedure, but it is expected an effort will be made by some memlum in artinn and hnlH hMrlnM before H votes its approval or disapproval.

R. Kelly, pardoned by Governor Bleaso November 25, 1914, is now in jail here under indictment for murder March 19j 1922. The records show also that tamey Wallace, pardoned by Blease December 28, 1914, is now under indictment for assault with intent to kill, discharging firearms at dwelling and carrying concealed weapons, on September 11, 1921. Wallace is being defended by Mr. Blease. A. H. Ward. Darlington, S. C. To the Editor of The State: In 1918 Tom Poston, then about 17 years old, residing with his parents at Cades, in company with another young man, got on a spree and, passing the home of an old, inoffensive negro, shot into his home, inflicting n wound upon the old man which caused his death shortly afterwards. He was tried in the court of general sessions here and in view of his youth and through the intercession of friends, got off with a very light sentence, one year. Poston was represented by Lee & St. Amend, the latter a nephew of Blease. In some mysterious way Poston received a pardon, not a parole, before he was taken from the county jail to the penitentiary, only a matter of a few days after the action of the court. The next time I heard of Poston was when he shot and killed a negro convict on the chaingang, Poston being employed as a gang guard. It was reported that the negro was trying to make his escape, but I have heard from reliable sources that the negro was shackled and was only going into the bushes to relieve nature. No -action whatever was ta'^jen county ai a guard, and was so employed "when he was on a spree early last year and in the night ran into Jr H. Miller on the Kingstree-Cades highway. Both were in Ford cars. Millar was-killed and Poston was convicted and .sentenced to life in the penitentiary, wnere ne now is. Poston shot Miller to death with a revolver belonging to the county and used by him as a convict guard. By reference to your files you will find an account of the killing, which occurred April 8, 1921. (See The Stave Monday, April 10, 1921). Miller was an electrician. He was in charge of the plant at Lake City. His wife lived here and Miller came home to spend the week-ends with her. W. T. Tolley. Kingstree, S. C.

Roberta. ij Washington, Aug. 27.?The break between organised labor and thj_> Harding administration has become so pronounced, that Republican politicians, to counteruct the lope* turn their attention to the foreign element. Samuel Qompers, president of the Amerloan Federation of Labor, is perj alstent and bitter In his criticism of I practically all that the president doe? | or attempts to do. The United Mine Workers of America iB officially op| posed to the president's plan to ap! point a commission to Investigate the coal business composed entirely of representatives of the people. Union labor, in all its subdivisions, is moving to defeat the administration Dill protecting alien laborers, such ab those butchered at Herrin, in their treaty rights. The Germans, the .Scandinavians, the Swedes, the Rnssb ns, the Irish are heartily in favor of the bill giving the federal courts jurisdiction ovealiens. With organized lubor lost Republican politicians, planning to push that bill, have in mind the big vote which the foreign element >t able to east in the congressional elections. In the presidential election i t 1 foreigner: supported Preside!/ Harding, while the leaders of organized labor battled futii Iv for James M. Cox. The president, unmindful of the attitude of the United Mine Workei of America, has insisted that he br not restricted ;n the selection of the members of tho commission to inves tigate the coal business. He made this assertion when Senator Borah wrote in his bill a provision that a certain number of the commissioners should bo representatives o* labor and a certain number repr< ntativc of capital. To nowapaper o<. respondents, tP White House has i mated thnt the president is tired of ipital and labor, and wants a comiiiU ion to represent the real sufferer it. industrial debacles, the public. But can there be commission so j unselfish thnt it enn represent on'v tho public? This is the query of the United Mine Workers of America. "Continuing, that organisation sarcasticnlh^At-ers thnt it would be as feol.. in . mM ... -4--- - - -?ii?Md sick roan as to natne a commission unaware of the details of the coM bnfi| ness to inquire into that business "Miners and operators," vuru the statement, "should have repreftefita tation II a commission 13 created. J ioncould anyone expect a commission composed of lawyers, school teachers and politicians successfully to make such an investigation? Coal mininto . and distribution is technical and at the 3amc time practical. Minors and operators know how to get at the facte regarding the industry." Tho attitude of the operators is not know.i. They have maintained a qucci silence since the president told congress that he would like to see the industry investigated Washington is impressed with the idea that the operators are cither certain that tht; : will be vindicated in the attitude the> ' have assumed, or feel that they will be able to withstand any oriticisn which might result from the invest . gation. As far as known, only one operutoi has spoken. T. II. Watkins, president of the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke company, wired Representative Winslow, who prepared the investigation bill for the house, that on the commission miners ami ( iterators should have representation.
