MAY EXPECT
ACTION SOON
Chicago, July 25 (By the Associated
Press).?The railway strike combined
with the coal strike is being brought
home to the public today through the
announcement of the leaders in the
several industries that unless speedy
settlement is reached, the closing of
the plants with the resulting unemployment
and the rationing of food
and fuel supplies and crippling of the
public utilities service would result.
Official. Washington still maintains
silence on the rail strike, but further
spread of the walkout is considered
unlikely.
Chicago, July 25 (By the Associated
Press).?The general chairmen of the
railway clerks union met today to
form a uniform policy in connection
with their disputes with the roads
over wages and other matters. No
decision is expected before tonight.
President Fitzgerald, of the union,
is also in attendance.
m ? .
^ . Washington, July 24 (By the Associated
Press).?While on the surface
concrete developments in the railroad
strike were lacking in Washington
today, the impression gained in official
circles was that the situation
was being rapidly "shaken down" to
a point where a new move by the administration
could be expected.
? Cabinet members who discussed the
* situation invariably declared that
President Harding was in personal
charge of the question and though
there was more than the belief that
the cabinet would be called upon to
consider it at the regular session tomorrow
no hint was forthcoming as
to the manner in which the transportation
crisis would be* laid before the
president's official family.
Further evidence was obtained,
however, that some of the chief executive's
advisers have urged that
the .government can permit the
breakdown of the country's arteries
of commerce to go no further while
waiting for the railroad managements
and shopmen to dispose of
their differences.
Official reports have been received,
it is knownr-giving details of the exSDonsible
for the almost "total blank
eting" of the healthy business revival
in the United States and, while instances
of direct interference with
the United States mails have recently
been conspicuously absent, postal inspectors
today recoided the further
annulment of important mail trains*
Some administration advisers who
favoi a drastic move by the government
are known to hold the view that
Piesident hauling should demand that
the railroad executives make every
effort to restore interstate commerce
especially to the extent of abandoning
their stand on the seniority issue
?said to be the crux of the whole
strike question?whereupon the disputants
would be expected to come together
on the matter of a fair living
wage for railroad employees, conceded
to be the remaining important issue.
If the railroad executives refused
it was declared, the president, satisfied
he has full authority and a duty
delegated him by the constitution to
maintain interstate commerce and the
mails service, could proceed to operate
the railroads. While the EschCummings
Act would be invoked fof
the purpose as far as that would apply,
it was said the president's main
reliance would be the duty "entrusted"
to the chief executive under the!
constitution.
The president, it is understood, has
been assured fcy his advisers that his
authority for decisive action without
recourse to congress is without question.
Two courses would be open to
him in order physically to operate the
railroads, it was said. First, he could
request the strikers to return to work
under the government operation at
the old wage scale and with seniority
rights restored. If this failed, then
federal troops could be called upon
to assure operation of the trains. '
The first course, the president is
understood to believe, would be acceptable
to the strikers who would
ttjk see in it the capitulation of the railrond
executives and a victory for labor.
The chief contention of the
Rtrikers, it was said, has developed
into a fight for seniority, with the
wage dispute becoming subordinate.
There is little disposition in government
circles to consider meeting
the emergency by actually putting
the lines under government operation.

To Repair Rolling Stock
New York, July 26.?The use of the
shipyard machine shops for repairing
the rolling stock of the railroads is the
latest development in the shopmen's
strike. Some repair contracts are re.
ported to have been let and the general
survey of the shipyards plants is
^ being made, according to R. H. Robinson,
president of the Merchant*
Shipbuilding Company at ClicaUr, Pa.
COAL DISTRIBUTION
BEING CONSIDERED
Washington, July 25.?The government's
emergency eoal control program
will begin t ofunction within 48
hours, said SecretaVy Hoover in making
the announcement today. He said
the ratification of the emergency plan
for distribution and the restriction of
unfair prices by the Operators Association
are expected within 48 hours,
but if cooperation is withheld in any
district th government would proceed
to appoint the necessary local committees.
The emergency control plan,
Hoover said, is intended to apply to
all coal produced, whether in the union
or non union fields.
Washington, July 24 (By the Associated
Press).?Agreement upon a
tentative plan for distribution of coal
and for restriction of unfair prices
was announced tonight by Secretary
Hoover after a series of conferences
during the day with representatives
of producing operators, the railroads,
the interstate commerce commission
and other departments of the government.
The plan which was described by
Attorney General Daugherty in an
opinion as "entirely legal" is to be
discussed further tomorrow ^y the
conferees and the agreement of the
operaotrs present is dependent upon
the approval of their various associations.
Under the proposed plan President
Harding would appoint a committee
wnicn wouia nave general supervision
of the measures to be adopted for
emergency fuel control designed to
safeguard the public from an impending
coal famine. Application of
the laws governing interstate commerce,
through the interstate commerce
commission, would enable the
allocation of freight cars to be governed
by the maintenance of fair
prices for coal among the operators.
The tentative plan follows:
"A committee in Washington to be
appointed by the president of representatives
of the department of commerce,
the interstate commerce commission,
the departm^ftt of justice
and the department the interior,
to be designated the presidential committee.
'"This committed tb have general
supervision of the measures to
be taken hereunder and to authorize
the execution of such of these
measures as may be necessary front
time to time.

i lie Huiiuiiisiraiive euiiiiuittee
comprising representatives of the
presidential committee together with
representatives of the operators, representatives
of the railways and,
where necessary, representatives of
the larger consuming groups.
"The presidential committee will
establish a representative in each
coal producing district.
"Thp presidential committee will
appoint a committee of operators in
?ach district to be nominated by the
district operators' association or independent
operators (in case of failure
of the operators to take such action,
the presidential committee may
appoint such operators as they see
fit on such committee).
"The members of these district
committees may be changed as determined
upon by the presidential
committee.
"The presidential committee will
cooperate with the interstate commerce
commission in carrying out
preferential orders issued by the
commission.
"The governmental representatives
in the districts with cooperation of
the district committees shall advise
the agencies of the interstate commerce
commission as to local car
mnvompnU tn pffwt t.he mirnose<* of
this plan.
"The operators will proceed with
their usual business until they are affected
by preference orders.
"It is expected that the district
committee under authority of the
presidential committee will recommend
the allotment of cars on the
basis of those who conform to fair
prices to be agreed upon with the
presidential committee.
"When the operators demand, then
suitable guarantees shall be given
for payment by persons buying under
priority orders.
"The railroads will be requested
to appoint a representative to deal
with purchasers of railway fuel.
"The basis of prices agreed upon
between the operators and the secretary
of commerce on June 1 are to
be maintained except where varied
by the presidential committee atfti
this same basis of price determination
shall be applied to all districts
which are so far not cooperating.
"The whole of the above is tentative,
pending further consideration
by the interstate commerce commission,
the department of justice, department
of the interior and the department
of commerce."

KU KLUX ORDER I
NOT NATIONWIDE
Atlanta, July 24.?Edward Young
Clarke, imperial wizard pro-tern of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, late ci
today issued a statement denying that It
he had unmasked the Ku Klux Klan c:
in Georgia or any other part of the o]
country. G
The only thing he did, Mr. Clarkii p
said, was to issue an executive order,
applying only to .Georgia, "stopping tl
for the time being all parades and ti
the use of the mask and costume for p,
any purpose in Georgia by the klans- G
men except in the klavern or lodge tl
room of the klan." cj
Emphasizing that the executive or- tl
der was confined to Georgia, Mr. d<
Clark in his statement said: a<
"The correspondence between my- g
self and Governor Hardwick regarding n
the Ku Klux Klan published in the A
Sunday papers has been grossly twist- at
ed and it is causing considerable mis- a
understandinfi on account of this fact. c<
"First: I have not unmasked the rr
Ku Klux Klan in Georgia or any- ti
where else in the nation; the only ti
thing I did was to issue an executive d
order stopping for the time being all A
parades and the use of the mask and ti
costume for any purposes in Georgia S
by klansmen except in the klavern or ri
lodge room of the klan. oi
"Second: The order affected Georgia c<
only ,and the statement which has
been broadcast that it applied to the ti
entire nation has caused a flood of tel- tl
egrams to be received at headquarters E
and considerable confusion in the le
ranks of the organization all over the t<
country.
"In explanation of the reason why y
I issued the order stopping parades a
and the use of the mask and costume o
in Georgia for the present time, I de- ir
sire to say that I did so because of p
concerted effort at the present time a
in Georgia to make it appear that o:
the Ku Klux Klan ir either directly a
responsible for acts of lawlessness in c!
the state or indirectly responsible be- e:
cause of imitation of our costume by e<
lawless elements or by those seeking $
to discredit our organization. I a
thought the best way to clear up such I.
a situation was to issue the execu- V
tive order which I did and when I dis- h
cussed the matter with the governor n
lie agreed with me that this would s
solve the problem. In addition to the P
executive order stopping parades I ti

educational campaign in Georgia by il
a largo body of klan speakers in order n
to educate the public regarding the
klan and its costume. ii
"I have also ordered a searching in- w
quiry into recent crimes in Georgia, tl
and believe we shall be able to show u
that not 1 per cent of same in any p
way involve the Ku Klux Klan. tl
"I issued last fall a similar execu- a
tive order In Texas when the state p
was in the midst of turbulent con- n
ditions regarding law enforcement and tl
there was under way in the state a si
centered fight on the Klan by those d
who wanted to see us destroyed. My
order in Texas was faithfully com
plied with and completely met the
situation in Texas to the satisfaction
of all concerned except those who U
wanted to see the klan destroyed." a

INDERWOOD'S MOVE !
CAUSES CONFUSION
By Hugh W? Koljorts.
Washington, July >24. -Senator Or- t
ar W. Underwood,.' the Democratic *
ader in the senate, has the Republi- '
ins in an embarrassing situation by 1
pposing the German effort to acquire s
ertnan property hfld by the alien t
roperty custodian, .j '
He has taken the American stand, '
lat is, the stand based both on the %
eaty of Versailles and the separate
act made between this country and *
ermany, both of Which guaranteed '
ie American right to satisfy Ameri- 11
in claims without interference on c
ie part of Germans, for damages
one by Germany in time of war. The I
dministration, despite such treaty ^
uarantee, si insisting that a com- t
lission composed of Germans and *
mericans be named for the equitable' s
djudication of American claims. Senior

could be naitied the adminis- s
ation would be forced to vitiate both <
reaties in so far as they concern s
isposal of German property held by
mericans and negotiate a new
reaty. He insisted ^that the United i
tates proced as a conquering nation'
ither than one which would proceed'
n a theory that thel world war had
included in a questionable victory.
In the election of J?20 German naonals
in the United States supported
ie Republican ticWet because the
democratic candidate insisted on a
;ague of nations which Germany bit?rly
opposed. {
The Republicans ii this election
ear are hopeful that! German nationIs
will remain faithful. Because
f such hope they haye suffered Gerlany
to reduce the value of German
roperty held by the LJhited States to
bout $600,000,000. * .American claims
n file with the se !retarv of state
mount to $1,000,000,100. While these
laims are regarded ap excessive, it is
stimated that American citizens have
quitable claims amounting to about
600,000,000. Some.^f these claims i
re based on the destruction of the
,usitania. It is unexplainable in
Washington that thft administration'
as suffered Lusitanm claims to regain
without enar^? unless one
hould proceed on the theory that the
Republicans are so obsessed by poliics
that they have been willing to sacilce
every American right, tempory,
in order that German nationals
light remain reconciled.
Senator Underwood has stated that, <
ltroducing a bill under the terms of J
rhich American claims could be set- >
led by an American commission, he I :
ras not animated in any respect by J 1
olitics. At the same time he admits <
bat his bill and its agitation will have 1
poltcal effect. If the Republicans )
ass his bill, it will follow that Ger- ]
lan nationals will be alienated. If
bey do not pass his bill, many thou- 1
and more Americans, he declares, will
emand to know the reason why.
Good Wishes Abundant j
A sweet young girl somewhere in j

STATEMENTS ON (
RAILROAD STRIKE
New York, July "24.?Asserting that
,he rail strike has not already been f<
settled "b"<ause the die hard group of i e?
Sustern load executives want it to go101
>n" shop craft union leaders today! in
submitted that only the roads' refusal S
o assure returning strikers reinstate- tl
nent of seniority rights prevents an w
mmeditae settlement of the contro-!ai
?ersy. ,ii
"The government now admits that y
he railroad strike is a grave public 0
ssue; the public knew it two weeks
igo," was a statement issued by the
entral strike committee. a
"It is only the die hard group of t<
Castern executives who deny it. They p(
leny it because they want the strike f(
o go on. They are using this crisis p,
n a vain attempt to install the open st
hop. hi
"If the government wants to relieve (j
he transportation crisis it will settle p,
he strike. And the way to settle the
Irike is to persuade Gen. W. W. ..
Vtterbury and his 'hard boiled' Walli^j
itreet clique to cease holding up the'rj
lation's business by their private re-|
usal to allow seniority rights to!,,
vorkers. It is inconceivable that nj
inlf dozen men can impose their selfsh
will upon the welfare of a hundred
nillion." j
These charges brought from the
Eastern executives' conference In ses- (
lion today a declaration through their,
:hairman, L. F. Loree, president of '
he Delaware & Hudson, that the j
'possibility of the strikers tying up
he Eastern railroads had passed." 10j
He announced that 88,8t)4 men are
low employed at full time in Eastern
(hops, compared with 145,872 the day ^
>efore the walkout and declared that ,
he G0.8 per cent force now employed: ^
'has an output that compares favor- j
ibly with the work of the larger j ^
'orce before the strike."
"This is due," the statement continled,
"to the fact that we formerly,
mployed more men than we needed
jecause there was not enough repair,
vork to keep the shops going at ca-ijl
lacity, and partly due to the fact thati11
nany union rules designed to restrict' g
>utput have been eliminated. One,
villing mechanic now does the wotk
.hat formerly was taken up in the rou?.
tine by several, with' the consequent I
ielays."
The conference made plans for in-| J
lugurating on additional roads the t
'company union system" which al-[ i

itatement of Trustees b
Of Union High School
?? ~ r
je'ar Mr. EditoT:
We read the communication of Miss 11
dahala J. Smith in your paper yes- *
erday, and while we will not enter
nto anv kind of a controversy, and '
eel that there is no necessity of do_
ng so, still in justice to all parties
cncerned we think the public shoul 1 ?
;now AI.L THE FACTS. They are b
iriefly': When Miss Smith asked for f
he high school building for the couny
demonstration course she was inornied
by us that a summer s-hool
vas in progress there, and for that
'eason We could not agree to let her
tave the building this year, but that 1
he c.aild have the Central school 1
' ilding, which sh?* had previously *
red, for her demonstration work.
The Central school is a 12-room brick
luilding centrally located in an oak
;rove. In this building are electric
ights, running water and other modrn
conveniences. We promised to re
nove the desks from two of ihe rooms
or sleeping purposes, and also to renove
the partition in the former audiorium
so as to better accommodate a '
urge audience.
Now the facts are further: That a
arge number of tbe pupils failed to
nake their grades last session, and. *
n order to give them another chanet '
10 they would not have to take their 1
trades over another year we decided 1
o have a summer school in the high
.chool building, and the parents of '
;uch children are charged tuition for
his special course. We did not think
t fair to such pupils and their pa- 1
ents to allow anything in the build- 1
ng which would interfere with 'this *
vork. We think the Central school '
milding suitable for the demonstra- 1
ion work and offered it to Miss Smith.
rhis she refused, but she failed to '
date in her communication the fact
hat this building was offered, or the
raet that a summer school was in
nrfiirross in tlio hiorh cpVinnl ImiMmo
Wo are reliably informed that at a
meeting of the ladies at the court 1
house last week Miss Smith had a
committee appointed to see the trustees
about the matter. Anyway, such
x committee coiled on our chairman
afterwards, and when he explained
die above facts to them they said they
?aw no need of calling another meet,
