PAGE FOURTEEN PUBLIC IS DEMANDING GOVERNMENT SETTLE STRIKE, SAYS SOLON PAUADII M IVEWS BIREAl' WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Conjecture is divided amons the advance f?uard of house members now returnins to Washington as to the legislation the president will ask to broaden the executive authority in the event of failure of his negotiations for ending the strike of the railroad shopmen and the strike of the coal miners. The house will resume activities next Tuesday after a six weeks' adjournment, and the majority leaders have
definitely abandoned all plans of weekly three-day recesses until the
senate has disposed of the tariff bill
'"While fearful of going to extremes
in the enactment of clarifying legisla
tion to enable the federal authorities to handle such demoralizing situations
as have resulted from the two great
strikes now In progress, there are many congressmen who state that the
general public is demanding permanent relief, through legislation, from conditions which are brought about by labor upheavals in the great basic industries . Most of these members of congress have been at their homes for the past six weeks and they have sounded out public opinion by personal contact with their constituents. Public Uroes Action. "The great majority of people I met
while I was at home, workers, farmers, business men and . professional men, told me they favored compulsory arbitration of labor disputes," remarked ' a congressman from one of the middlewestern states who has just returned to Washington. "Tht3 opinion has crystalized in the last few weeks, at least in my district, which is a typical middle-western one, with the spreading of the fear that there will be an acute coal shortage during the winter and the additional menace of paralysis Of transportation lines. "The general public, with the instinct of self preservation, is demanding immediate and decisive action on the part of the federal government to
end a situation which has Become intolerable to them. The people are also blaming the railroad and coal strikes for the holding up of returning prosperity, which they all believed was 'juf t around the corner when the railroad shopmen walked out." Wrath Is Menace This congressman, and many others, looking at the situation from a political angle believe that withholding of necessary legislation for the handling of labor disputes, thereby incurring the wrath of a large part of the general public, represents a menace equal to the enactment of legislature which would stir up bitter opposition on the part of organized labor. Several Indiana congressmen . have privately stated that it is their intention of supporting all legislation proposed by the president, but it is not certain by any means that the president can command any considerable part of his party following in congress in the event he asks for drastic authority to handle the present disturbing situation.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., SATURDAY, AUG. 12, 1922.
Son of Founder of Jordan's
Chapel Recalls Its Splendor Paul W. Jordan of Chicago, in Reminiscent Mood, Lists Some of the Pioneers Who Frequented It Suggests Its Purchase for Reading Room and Display of Relics
"To the old timer- of Richmond," la the nnlntatlom of letter received by the Palladium from Paul W. Jordan, nw of Jamea J. Jordan, who foanded "Jordan' Chapel." one of the famona meeting plaeea of the fonadera of Richmond two sreneratlon bko. It will recall to many aa old eltlcen the days thai are (cone forever and the namea of the men who laid the foundation of the community, and tell the children of the preaent generation about one of the old landmark of the city. - The text of the letter followai

Chicago, Aug. 9, 1922. To the Editor:
Recently the writer read an article in the Indianapolis News, in which his name was mentioned. It told of the old drug store corner In Richmond, at Sixth and Main streets, started years ago by Dr '.Edward Patterson and handed down from generation to generation to various owners. The names of old timers who loafed there years ago, were given, and finally that the present owner of the store had had an old beam in the building replaced with a new one. on which the names of many citizen's were engraved
so that coming generations would see them when the old building was torn down. On Aug. 8, the News had another article .regarding my father's old place of business, 526 Main street. The reading of these write-ups took me back home again. The names mentioned (many of whom are dead) call
ed back to me the days of long ago, i and for a time, made me a boy once more, so I was prompted to write this letter. I trust all my friends and companions of the school day period will read it. It is intended for them. 1 am sure it will bring back memories
of happy days, and thoughts of friends who are no more. Sixth and Main etreets was my "diggins," as we lived on North Marion, now called Sixth, just opposite the libraryFirst Owner My first recollection of the old drus store mentioned above, was when Dr. Muller owned it. He was a queer little old fellow, and always on the job. I can see him now as he used to stand in the door. He always wore a short bushy beard and spectacles, and looked very much the part of a German doctor. We boys played many a trick on old Dqc
Muller, he not being a very friendly
character. It seems as we grow older the ties of long ago come back to us moro
forcefully, and most of us long to meet and greet the friends of other days. How joyous it is to live over
again, if only for a few moments the
youthful days, when cares were few,
and every minute was full of fun, song and laughter days that will never come again. .
My mother, whom all the old timers will remember, used to say, "How radiant the world looks when the heart
beats young." God bless her: she
sleeps over in dear old Earlham, be
side my father and surrounded, I am happy to say, on all sides, by their
dearest friends, the old settlers o Richmond and Wayne county.
No doubt many of the older citizens 1

When the old Independent was pub
lished as a daily, my mother was its editor. Mr. Fred Maag (still living I think) was its owner, Col. Hadley reporter. Mr. and Mrs. Cullaton looked after the fortunes of the Pal in those days, Cal Johnson, its reporter. How many in Richmond know who named the city park? It was Mrs. Jordan. Shortly after Col. John F. Miller purchased the property he requested my mother to give it a name. She choose "Millers Glen," afterward called by everyone Glen Miller. Later the city bought the grounds, and such a

James Whitcomb Riley, who attended her funeral, as one of the pallbearers, and was a sincere friend, wrote these lines to her shortly before her death: "To Mrs. D. M. Jordan the poet paramount." Dear singing friend, your genial rhyme Is sweet to me, as summer time.
As sweet, and pure, and Oh so rare, j As Heaven might be were I this i moment entering there. j These two singers have passed on. They surely have found each other over there, and Heaven can't help but be a better place, a3 a result of their
presence. Or one thing I am positive, my mother, ever loving and patient, must be among the angels. But let's get back to my subject. Who was it wrote the Indianapolis News articles? Can it be possible rn the memories of the old timers the old drug store corner takes precedence to father's old location? - Will Richmond ever have such a place again? Never. James J. Jordan was bora in Cin cinnati, O., Feb. 8, 1827. For years he drove a huckster wagon all over-northern Indiana, established in Richmond in 1852, and for 38 years was at his
store, No. 526 Main street, almost
every day. He died on June 2. 1890 His reputation for oysters extended all over eastern Indiana and western Ohio, being the first to offer fress ones in Richmond, bringing them by stage from Cincinnati. Where the Mighty Gathered Our store was. the loafing place ot

It is expected that a large number of Wayne county farmers will attend the meeting to be held Saturday night at the Wrayne county courthouse to del termine upon the possibility of a Wayne county exhibition. The exhibition will consist mainly of exhibits of livestock, grain, fruit and vegetables. The object of the meeting Saturday evening will be to determine the time and location.

chapel it was called by many, as the: crowds came on Sundays even in larger j numbers and stayed all day. It seems to me a movement, should
be started in Richmond to purchase the old chapel. The city should own it. A reading room made of it in honor and memory of the men who shaped the town in the beginning, tablets and portraits should be hung on the walls, giving each pioneer a place When complete, it would be a hall of fame. I doubt if ever again the town will produce such men. Richmond's settlers were real men and women. I have a fine portrait of my father, I
would be glad to contribute for the above purpose. I visited there a year ago, went over many parts of the old town, and noted many changes. , However, on my old home street, I noticed the
