WAR MEASURES IN EFFECT NOW Interstate Commerce Commission Exercises Sweeping Authority Washington, July 26 —(Special to Dally Democrat)—War time mensurea were In effect today as the Interstate commerce commlssllon, holding that a national emergency I exists because of the twin rail and 1 coal strikes, assumed a sweeping control of railroad rolling stock and took over direction of the distribution of food, fuel and other necessaries required to sustain the life of the nation. By declaring a national emergency an unprecedented step In peace times, the commission has powers , rivaling those exercised by the government when it took over the rail ' roads during the war. The government today was building up an emergency administration similar to the war time foods and 1 fuel administration which will aid the commission in carrying out Its extraordinary powers. President Harding today or tomorrow will appoint a “presidential com-' mlttee” to be composed of represen ' tatlves of the interstate commerce commission, the departments of corn *' merce, Justice and interior, which will co-operate with the commerce com- ( mission in the Issuance of priorities, and other orders designated to secure an equitable distribution of ne cessaries and prevent profiteering, i, This committee will be in close touch with the situation throughout the,' country and will make recommends-. * tions to the commerce comission. Reports of profiteering in coal will 1 come to this committee, which will < order investigations by a newly or- 1 ganlzed department of commerce : price reporting organization and will < take steps to deny cars to any mine l owner found charging exorbitant | rates. Profiteering by retail coal f dealers may be checked by routing coal only to those who will sell at t fair prices. 1 1 The commerce commission's power | is virtually absolute, for in outlining t a system of priorities for the shipment of coal the commission has de- ( dared that class 1, the shipments , under which take priority over ( everything else, shall be those specially ordered by it. In addition to the presidential committee an administrative committee 1 Io be composed of representatives of 1 the former committee, the railroads. 1 the coal operators and the larger con- ' sumers will be named. * Then carrying out the war time- ‘ food and fuel administration plan, 1 local and district committees of the public, the rail-reads and the coal c operators will be named to advise c the central committee of conditions t throughout the country. 1 1 Under the new plan industries will. be hit hardest if the coal shortage be-l ( comes more acute through a contin- ( ued delay in the settlement of the ] mine strike. |q The commission in outlining the f order in which priorities will be granted, did not mention industries t Hence they will come under the fifth class, broadly designed by the words 1 . “for other purposes.” Coal production will be stimulated | Secretary of War Weeks said, through the ability of the government to supply coal cars to non union mines suf ' sering either partial or total curtailment of production for lack of cars. All existing agreements and contractual obligations between the common carriers with reference to 1 the divisjons of the rates of transpor-|* tation are declared void during the J duration of the emergency declare- 1 tion. Failure of the carriers to oh- 1 serve this order will result in the < fixing of rates by the commission. < MISSOURI VOTES NEXTTUESDAY 1 By Lawrence Martin United Press Sluff Correspondent Washington, July 26.—(Special to Daily Democrat) — When Missouri ' votes next Tuesday in its senatorial primary, republican and democratic politicians here will be prepared to read in the result the answer to these questions: Is Woodrow Wllsonlsm still a live political force? Will the league of nations issue be revived in coming campaigns? Missouri naturally is keenly interested in the outcome of what has been called a “plebiscite on Wilsonism" but the interest in national political circles is almost as keen as 'lt is locally. If Senator James A. Reed is nominated for the senate on the Democratic ticket, democrats of the anti-Wllson wing of the party will say his victory

[proves Wllsonlsm and the longue of, nations pretty dead Issues. If Dreckenrldge Long Is nominated,! | the Wilson group, of whom the lute ' nominee of the party, James N. Cox of Ohio Is one, will be encouraged to make the league of nations again an 1 ' Issue. e—. ■—- CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE I nllril Premia SImIT < urr«*«»|ioinh nf Chicago.

July 26.—(Special! to Daily Democrat) —Public utilities and private industries of Indiana dug deeper into their depleted coal piles .today while Governor McCray conferred with his advisors in an effort to I relieve the acute situation brought on by the rail and mine strikes. I Scores of light, heat and water i plants were threatened with suspension from a fuel shortage* and traction officials considered further curtailing their service. State officials saw « ray of hope in the meeting of district president of the United Mine Workers in Philadelphia. There was a general feeling that it would be a peace conference rather I than a council of war. President John Hessler of the Indi- ( ana Union and members of the min- , ere' scale committee pledged Gov. Me , Cray to secrecy as to what transpired , at their conference in the governor's office yesterday. Mine owners who conferred with the governor later, were i likewise reticent to discuss their con- : ference. : It is understood the governor was i told of a plan for possible settlement ’ growing out of the Philadelphia meeting and he delayed concrete action by tile state pending the outcome. He ' said the state would act within fifty 1 or sixty hours, however, indicating he ! was ready to take some drastic step if ! nothing was accomplished within that 1 time. One guess was that a special legis ' lature would be called to repeal the l miners' license law which virtually prevents any except union miners from working in this state, in order that ( non-union men might be permitted to ( enter the pits without declaration of . martial law. “Merely a guess,” was the comment , of one state official who attended the , conference between the governor and the warring factions. “It looks like ; there would be nothing to it." ; Meanwhile, all hope of prosecuting ’ coal profiteers faded when Attorney ! General Lesh stated there is no state law under which this could be done. ; The anti-trust laws would suffice Lesh 1 said, but it would be necessary to 1 prove that a conspiracy existed under them. MAILCARRIERS TO GET BADGES An order has been received by the local postoffice here stating that within a period of thirty days orders shall have been placed with N. C. Walter and Sons company, manufacturers, for new badges to: a?, the city mail carriers. It is required by the postal department that all city carriers shall be provided with one of the new badges at their own expense. It was suggested that the carriers at each postoflice should appoint a committee to collect the sum for the badge from each carrier and order the badges in a lot thus saving expense and trouble. The new badge is elliptical in shape and is composed of eighteen per cent German silver or is nickle plated and is to be worn on the cap, helmet or other part of the uniform. It is one and a half inches in diameter the shortest way and two and a halt' inches in diameter the longer way. The name of the postoflice and the state and the number of the carrier's route will be on the badge besides the words U. S. Postoffice. The ensign of the eagle will be on the shield and also two st;irs at the side of the shield. All letters and emblems on the shield will be in raised, japaned figures. i e _ ’ NOTICE Barber shops In the city will open ■ at 7 a m. during fair week beginning C on Tuesday, and will close at noon i on Thursday to permit employes to /1 attend the fair. 176t3

McCray maintaining his pol icy of silence regarding state activities in the acute industrial situation said he know nothing of it. “I am duty bound not to say anything for a couple of days,” the gov ernor said.

The picture will show at the Crystal only for the last time to night. The romantic story of the Queen of Sheba and her love affair with King Solomon has been staged . by William Fox on a scale of colossal grandeur and the gorgeousness of the ancient Orient in its full glory has been reproduced with remarkable fidel- , ity by Director J. Gordon Edwards. The sensational chariot race scene [ has scoroed one of the biggest hits ’ v er known in the world of the screen. I as nothing like it has ever been filmed 1 before. This great scene shows six chariots, each drawn by four horses racing madly around a great arena, s while more than five thousand people • are shown in the crowds. One of the chariots breaks down, the driver is thrown directly in the path of another • chariot, and by a remarkable escape ? the prostrate driver emerges uninjured. This incident really happened at " Hollywood while the picture was being taken and although the injured driver was badly sßiken up, it was little short was a miracle that he was not killed. o ROTARIANS ENJOYED AFTERNOON AT MARION I 3 A dozen or more of the local Rotar--1 ians motored to Mtirion, Indiana yes- • terday afternoon where they attended 1 the big state Round-up of the Indiana 3 Rotary clubs.
