'VOLUME XXXVII. LAURENS SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1922. NUMBER 7 EXACT SCOPE OF TO BE P.repatratiois foir Legishitive and Ex. ecutive Action Appear to ie Nearing Comlplet [ion, 'WPhrO'.ton, Aug. 27.-The exact .scope of the administration's policy in dealing with the rail and coal strikes is expected to reveal itself within the next few days as a result of preparations for legislative 'and executive action which appeared to ijight to be nearing completion. Whether the emergency legislation to be definitely urged u':.on Congress will include ait presidential authoriza tion to take over and o)erate rail and coal properties was a question that still remained unanswered, but it was indicated that administration ofilcials probably would make a final decigion on the point in the very near future. Inl soie quarters it was believed that the proiiosal to arm the executive with these emnergency powers would be tinally threshed over among , the leaders who are with President ard Ing on his week-end cruise down the 14otomac aniid that defiuite announce mnit of !;olicy would follow the re turn heie of. the presidential yacht '.\layiower' toimorrow morning. ''lhose in tile president's c-ollidence sa141 befu;f( lie left iecre for the crtuise last night that althoughI he still be lieved infdustrial peace would be re stored without a resort to government operation, lie was inclined to feel that as a pr (cautionary measure he should be given full authority to act before congress begins its contemplated re cess. In addition to Secretary Hoover and Attorney General Daugherty, two of the cabinet mensbers who have been particularly active in shaving the. gov ernient's course during the strike period, the president was acconpan led on the '.\layflower by Chairman Cummins, of the senate interstate commerce committee, who already has drafted for introduction in the senate, a bill authorizing the executive to take over and operate any individual rail road which does not adequately per form its functions as a common car ried. 'Before he went aboard the May flower, Senator Cummins had indicat ed that his measure and a R1 ar one relating to coal mines would , form ally introduced early this ween. Majority leaders say they are con tidentltlat such legislation - could be -passed through both senate and house, if the uresident defluitely requested it, but at the same time they concede that congressional approval }vould be by no means unanimous - Although many 'members in both bodies are de manding that the government take charge of the situation in the most em phatic manner possible, there is a recognized elemenht of strength ranged against any movement that might ap proweimate a return of the war-time government railroad administration. Particular atten4tion was given. in congressional circles today to the puib lie statement made last night by Chairman .Winslow, of the house in terstate pommierce committee, declar' ing that in his opinlon the coal fact 'finding and distribUtion bills8 already pending wvould serve as a sufficient warning to the industries involved, and that more drastic legislation could safely be 'withhold for the present. It was pointed out also that President .Harding's recommendation for a coal puIrchasing andl selling agency had thus far not even resulted in any ef fort to bring in 'bills for carrying it *into effect, and that even the fact-find ing and distribution bills ,erop6sed had not encountered perfect sailing weath er either in' senate or house. The senate having lAid aside the lBorah fact-finding bill entirely' until *th6 middle of the week because of rprolonged attacks upon it, efforts to deal 'with the strike problem at both ends of the capital tomorr'ow wvll be confined to committee conaideration of To Stop a Cough Qudek take HAYES' HEALNG ..HONEY, a cough med'icine which stop the cough by healing the inflamed and i.ritated tissues.
