CONGRESS MAY DENY REQUEST FROM HARDING (Continued from page one) with Senator Borah, head of the labor committee, who has already introduced a bill creating a coal commission with powers like those requested by Harding, Horah also may confer with , Secretary Hoover on the detulls of i the proposed coal purchasing agency ( bill. An appeal went out from republic house leaders for the return of ab"sent members, A quorum of the house is not yet in Washington and only eight of the 21 members of the interstate commerce committee which must consider most of the legislation suggested by the president are here. Chairman Winslow, Massachusetts of the interstate commerce committee is among the absentees but is expected back shortly. Washington, Aug. 19.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Congress today was disposed to deny President Harding's request in his strike message for a government coal agency, to buy, sell and distribute coal in interstate com merce. Powerful interests that have always opposed any step which appeared likely to he the fore-runner of governmentcontrol and operation clearly indicated that the president's suggestion would bo fought. Congress, according to a careful survey, will approve the other recommendations of the president. Thqse include a coal commission to make a complete investigation of the Industry in the hope of finding permanent solution for the recurring mine strikkes and legislation giving a federal government the right to step in and punish those responsible for such outbreaks as the recent Herrin, 111., massacre by authorizing federal courts to protect the treaty rights of aliens. Two Mexicans were said to have been killed at Herrin. PARADE TO BE LARGE AFFAIR NEXT TUESDAY (Continued from page one) Everybody is urged to join in the parade.

Both organizations are fighting for tlie one big union and an amalgamation is said to be planned. I The federation has many members among the shop crafts, and especially on the eastern roads, who remained . at work. Some time ago the association urged members of the labor board to let that organization represent the rail employes in future negotiations if the , board upheld its decisions to class the I striking shopmen as outlaws. > — Washington, Aug. 19 —(Special to . Daily Democrat) —A modified plan j for seniority restoration to striking, shopmen is before the representatives 1 of the railroads and the big four • brotherhoods who have been holding conferences in New York to settle the rail strike, according to unofficial advices to administration leaders. The plan is said to call for preferential seniority to the men who refused to quit work, wit It the strik <-r$ following them on the seniority list. The strikebreakers would then be placed on the lists. According to information here, union leaders would favorably consider such a plan, although they might suggest some slight modification.
