Kolbert)}}—President ‘Harding having received advices from offic- als in Chicago that the striking rail- road shopmen will accept his rail Deace proposal is preparing to place the whole responsibility for contin- uvance of the strike and its paraly- zing effect upon the industries of the country. The letter ot the rail executives turning down the president’s pro- posal, that the seniority: rights of the strikers be restored unimpaired has been received at the white house and the president undoubtedly will send a sharp reply. At the same time he will warn that he has the unchal- lenged : right to protect public in- terests, which he will use if neces. sary.

Harding’s.'plan is' strengthening the plan and executives were “quick to tu-rn down the proposal. The carriers left the way open for a compromise on the other two points —that of the recognition of the val- idity of all United States Labor Board decisions, and withdrawl of all suits growing out of the strike.

Taxes on 20,000 more motor veh- icles to date this year haveincreased receipts by $560,000 over the full 1921 total but the tax enforcement campaign is still on until every slack- er has been rounded up, says the 'state highway department bulletin this week, Charles' M. Babcock, state -high- way commissioner, said nearly 150 engineers and other field men of the department will continue to prosecute unlicensed car cases in ad- dition to carrying on their regular duties. The announcement followed a report from Mike Holm, secretary of state, of 1922 motor vehicle reg- istration totals to Aug. 1 of about 816,000 passenger cars, 36,000 trucks, 3,200 motor-cycles and 800 trailers. This is a gajn of about 20, 000 for the seven months over the complete 1921 figure and many new applications are beihg made. The enforcement campaign mnow going on through the regular em- ployees of the highway department has listed more than 1,000 unlicens- ed cars and brought more than 700 prosecutions with fines in the ma- jority of cases. A large number of cars are being recorded for sheriff’s sales provided the taxes remain un- paid. Receipts are put on the trunk highways as fast as they come in and the construction and other im- provement programs are advancing accordingly. Current trunk highway funds this'year include $6,175,000 of auto taxes and $1,600,000 of federal aid, say official statements. The $7,675,000 total is compared to the annual $10,000,000 average expected for the so-called Babcock roads under Amendment No. 1 and to nearly $20,000,000 provided this year for local county and town road work.

PAUL AUGUST 11 The fight that the ring fans have long been asking for is carded at Lexington Park, St. Paul on the eve- ning of Aug. 11th. ,On that date “Ferocious” Fred Fulton, often re- ferred to as the “Elongated Plaster- er” will exchange swats for ten rounds or less with fighting Billy Miske. The affair promises to be full of action and when thesé¢ two giants of the squared circle com- mence exchanging their heavy ar- tillery the fans may well expect sen- sational things. In 1918 the two met. It was a teriffic battle, attended by a capac- ity crowd. The pre-dope favored Fulton, he was the larger, rated the heavier hitter, while Miske at that time .was not stopping many oppon- ents, Fulton towered over Miske in the ing, had him outweighed by 218 pounds against, 175 yet in spite of all that handicap Miske tore into the Rochester giant, carried the fight to him and in the opinion of most of the sport scribes' it was a good draw. ] \Advance dope on the coming bat- “| t16 points to a sluging match. Miske has ing¢reased 'his “punching power. He willtry to stand tp bnd exchange blows with the plasterer in the hope of scoring a Kayo. ‘ On the other hand Fulton is also after Dempsey and the Rocheater heavy declares he will stop Miske and thus gain the coveted bout with the world’s champion, The Zenith Novelty orchestra will | furnish music for a dance to be staged at the new armory this cve- ning. A very enjoyable time cured and it is expected that the fair will be well attended. The pub- lic is invited.
