HOUNDS CYCLE . OF FRUITLESS STRIKEEFFDRTS Harding Finds Himself in Same Position From Which He Started. ALTERNATIVES LEFT TO HIM Strong Croup Advocates His Sitting Back to Watch Fight to Finish.

POLICY By Unite a News WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.—President Harding, according to Administration Senatorial spokesmen, has decided on “substantially*' the same course toward the rail strike as toward the mine strike, namely: Let the rail executives work out their jwb solution of the difficulty and keep trams moving, if they can an as they claim they can. Senator Watson. Indiana, after he nad conferred with the Presi dent, said no legislation affecting either the rail or mine situation is contemplated immediately.

By ROBERT J. BENDER United News Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.—Failure of both his mine and rail strkie settlement proposals has left President Harding with these alternatives: 1. Abide by the wishes of a strong group of mine operators and rail executives. supported by members of'hie Cabinet. t let both strikes be fought out to a finish. Cooperating with this element, it is learned, are some large industries whose manufactured stocks on hand are well in advance of demand. 2. Pursue a “Rooseveltian policy,’* advocated by some of his advisers, and compel the employers in both strikes to get together on threat of taking over the properties. 3 Throw into the already confused legislative situation in Congress measures that will empower the Government to effect of the strikes. Position Is the Same The President finds himself in exactly the same situation as regards the rail strike as he was when the miners and operators refused his arbitration proposal. The eame sort of plea raised by coal operators—“if the Government will keep hands off we will get the coal’’—is being raised now by numbers of rail executives. Eoth groups of employers believe, if given time, they can break the strikes confronting them. A united attempt of employers to this end, however, labors leaders say. would precipitate the greatest general strike ever held in the country. The President i3 on record in the coal strike to the effect he has exhausted every resource, save recourse to empowering legislation. In the rail strike proposal the President is quoted as saying if the executives did not see fit to accept his compromise there would be nothing left for them to do but negotiate directly with the employes.

WOULD CONDEMN SPIIPROPERTY Delano and Cambridge Apartments Appraised Too Low, Owner Says. Marion County will prepare a condemnation suit against the owners of the Delano and Cambridge Apartments, part of the war memorial property. The decision was reached at a conference of the board of county commissioners, Leo K. Fesler, county auditor; County Attorney John Ruckelshaus and E. G. Spink, head of the , corporation owning the property. “We flatly refuse to accept the appraisement of $135,000 for the property. It is too low. We will accept the appraisal of the Hall Hotel of $136,780 if we can have it free of rent for three years to compensate the loss of business," said Spink. The commissioners and Spink could not agree on the rental basis for the Haugh Hotel, also owned by the Spink Interests, the latter claiming they were losing money. The commissioners will inform Spink next Monday what rental they will require. If he refuses, condemna- j tion proceedings would have to be started against the hotel, the commissioners said.

RECEIVERSHIP FIR lUDS DECIMI LEGAL Step by Harding is Under Consideration as Way Out of Trouble. By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.—President Harding, exercising his , national emergency powers, has the autnority to institute receivership proceedings against the railroads and mines of the country and operate them through Federal receivers, according to an opinion of his advisers. Such a procedure, which would amount to seizure of these utilities, is under Contemplation, and may be put into operation if the situation resulting from the twin strikes becomes much more critical, it was indicated officially. OGLE DUS. MELLON COUTH Makes Statement Taking Issue With Charges Made by Miners. Alfred M. Ogle, president of the National Coal Association, In Indian-, apolis on Thursday, during the con--1 ference of Governors of coal produci ing States, took issue with charges made by miners’ leaders regarding A. W. Mellon. From his room at the Hotel Severin I Ogle issued this statement: “In the Indianapolis Times of Aug. 2 appears a statement quoted from a *big leader of the miners' relative to A. W. Mellon. “As usual, the miners are wrong again. The Mellons do not own any | stock in the Vandalia Coal Company i nor in any other coal company in I which I am interested, and, while I very much respect Mr. Mellon’s ability and judgment, he has no influence I whatever upon my position in the i present mine wage controversy. “The ‘bjg leader' of the miners ts also 100 per cent wrong In his statement that it was the great Influence of the Pittsburgh Coal Company that made Alfred Ogle, of Indiana, president of the' National Coal Association this year. "The Pittsburgh Coal Company only operates in the Pittsburgh district, and the entire Pittsburgh district has only two votes out of a total of fortyj one on the board of directors of the | National Coal Association. However, I am glad to say that I had their support, just as I had the support of other districts included in the association membership.” BURDEN ON COUNCIL City Engineer Elliott Refuses to Cut Year’s Budget. If the city council cuts the engineering department budget $50,000 as it threatens, it will have to bear responsibility for less work on streets and other improvements than public welfare requires, declared John L. Elliott, city engineer today. Controller Joseph L. Hogue asked Elliott to cut the estimates himself. Elliott refused, replying he asked for the very lowest amount consistent with demands made for upkeep of improvements. 1 “Let the council bear the burden of doing the cutting and I’ll try to get along on what they leave me,” said Elliott. ATTORNEY IN BAD J. Herbert Hartman Calls Policeman Liar. Because he called Sergt. Hudson of the police department, a liar during the hearing of a case in city court today, J. Herbert Hartman, attorney, was first sentenced to serve two days in jail for contempt, then this was changed to disbarment for thirty days, and finally, the court announced the penalty would be held In abeyance.

BALFOUR NOTE STIRS BRITISH: IRKS TOPPLE i Stiffened French Attitude Laid to Cancellation Scheme Announced. EFFECT ON U. S. FEARED English Scribes Pessimistically Allude to American Journals’ Views. By RALPH H. TURNER United News Staff Correspondent. LONDON, Aug. S.—ls Lord Balfour's note regarding cancellation ' of interallied debts was designed to clari'l fy the European muddle, its effect 1-4. 'has been exactly Vi'j? V, th* opposite. M The note has confessed the sit- •; uation. stirred up gPjL 4 all sorts of oncer- ’ taint y and appears t v . to have intensified the chaos on the pfj , continent. Prospects of anything fruitful resulting from the allied! A L conversations at | *& ££s.v London beginning L-■ —i Aug. 7 appear to TLTRNER have been seriously prejudiced by the note. One immediate result has been a | stiffening of the French attitude. If Great Britain is going to insist that I France pay, there is no chance that 1 France will ease up on her demands I on Germany, as the two questions are closely interlocked. The note has thrown the financial situation into utter confusion, coming as it did on top of France's coercive note to Germany. Both inei> dents coming together sent the mark tumbling down to still lower lev-els. Assuming that the note defined England's attitude regarding the debt * question, on which the French policy , toward reparations is wholly contingent, there is likely to be considerable difficulty when Lloyd George and Premier Poinecare meet here next week. Each will find it difficult to make the change In position that will be necessary In order to reach an agreement that will pull Europe out! of the vicious circle which recent developments have created. Opinion as to the wisdom of the Government's action in publishing the debts note is strongly divided. Treasury officials, following the lead of Sir Robert Horne, think it was an unwise move, as do many leading business men. They fear the effect on the United States. Afternoon newspapers carried cable dispatches setting forth the reaction in Washington. Head-1 lines over these dispatches possi-1 mistically announced that “Britain j Must Pay.” whatever Lord Balfour's logic might prove to the contrary. Only one helpful result seems to have been achieved by the note- —an ; electioneering argument aimed *t the British taxpayer. oenlalapprld BY WALL STREET * Railroad Executives’ Stand Watched by Financiers as Workers Return. By United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 3.—Drive by eastern railroads to break the shopmen’s strike, following rejection of President Harding's peace plan, netted carriers gains in their shop crafts forces today. A rush of new men for jobs was reported by roads and admitted by j union leaders. , Wall street watched progress of the | roads’ offensive and pronounced the i strike won for the carriers. Financial j commentators unanimously approved I the executives’ rejection of Harding's proposal. Charles E. Mitchell, president of the National City Bank, said: “Reply of the railroads to President Harding was just what it should have been. There was nothing else to do.” DOG DAY IN COURT Canines Tangle and Women Go Before Judge. Mrs. Lila Dunlap, 2301 Yandes St., had a bird dog. Mrs. Emma De Looh, 2330 Yandes St., had a bulldog. The dogs disagreed. Lila’s bird dog was getting the best of Emmas' bulldog, so Emma came to the bulldog’s rescue and hit Lila's dog with a broom. After which, she told Judge Wilmeth. Lila hit her with a broom. ‘'Have the dogs been getting along well before this?” Judge Wilmeth asked Mrs. Dunlap. “No, sir. They fight every time they meet, but my dogs always licks,” Mrs. Dunlap replied. “Well, If those dogs cause any more trouble, I’ll have to send them to the pound,” said Judge Wilmeth, as he dismissed the case.

ENOUGH TONNAGE IT FORCE FNO OF COAL STRIKE Government Officials Have Confidence in Outcome of Conference, WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—The mine strike conference called by President John L. Lewis to meet in Cleveland next Monday is viewed by official observers here as a definite step toward peace. A sufficient number of operators in the*central competitive field are expected to attend to negotiate a settlement that may be applied to the bituminous industry as a whole. Experts Not Dismayed Government experts are not dismayed by the published refusals of several central competitive field operators the Cleveland meeting. Their authentic information is that about 30 per cent of the central competitive field tonnage will be represented at the parley. This 30 per cent is paid to be strong enough to set the pace for tho remaining 70 per cent of union coal. TO OPEN WEDNESDAY Lewis Announces Conference With Anthracite Operators.

How to tell- pure Ginger Ale —look for a “fungus ” A Very simple test of the purity of ginger ale is to let It get a few months old. then hold the bottle upside down to the light. Generally you will see a fa*nt cloud, which is in reality a vegetable fungus or growth, caused by impurities in the water. The only water that Is absolutely pure is distilled water. Very few kinds of ginger ale are made' from distiHed water, on account- of the cost of distilling equipment.
