From that headquarters orders will come, and the local tradesmen are expected to abide by them. Frazier's parting statement today was: “If we can continue to hold out as success- fully for a short time longer as we have heretofore held out, there's nothing to it, and the strike is won.” A bit of anxiety is apparent regard- ing the stand of President Harding.

OPPOSERETURNIG GERMAN PATENTS | !Chemists Warn President { Step Would Imperil U. S. Dye Industry. To return the patents involved in the Cherfiical Foundation case to for- mer German owners would be disas- trous to the American chemical in- dustry, President Harding was told sterday by the board of governors nthetic Organic Chemical cturers of the United States. Such return of the patents seized t"uie | during the war would be of great helb | within Its power to formerly | jin restoring ced by cartel. On leaving the White House repre- ! sentatives of the a President had given them a consid- erate audience, adding that they all | were agreed that the court action {projected by the government against {the Chemical Foundation, Inc., to the monopoly tRe German chemical | clear title to the patents was the best | procedure under the circumstances. Charles H. Herty, president of the i chemical’manufacturers’ organization, said he was convinced that Mr. Hard- utter confusion which would ensue n the American industry” in cvent of a return of the patents to their former ownership. Memorandum In Left. The delegation left at the White House & memorandum reviewing in detail the situation which had led to the seizure of the German patents and their sale, at a nominal price, to { the Chemical Foundation. It was em- { phasized that the corporation’s pro- spective profits were limited by its charter, that it has thus far paid no nds and that control is vested ock. Pointing out that there had been no American chemical In- ‘duslry before the war because of the strangle hold held by the Germans through their patents, the memoran- dum estimated the present American investment to be about $100,000,000. Senator King of Utah joined in the tattack on the Chemical Foundation in the Senate yesterday, and declared that President Harding was to be congrat- ulated for “having done his duty,” i instructing the Department of Justice to proceed against the foundation for the return of the patents and trade- marks. He characterized as “high handed and indefensible” the action of Mr. Garvan in selling these patents and trademarks to the foundation. Trust Law Violated. Assailing the Ameircan Dyes Insti- tute, Senator King declared that this was a combination of 90 per cent of the dye manufacturers of the United States. He described it as an “illegal open price association * * ¢ in violation of the anti-trust laws,” and charged that the Dupont Company and the Allied Chem- jcal and Dye Company were the chief contributers to the funds of the insti- tute by reason of their dominance in the dye_business. The Utah senator declared the dye interests were all tied together and that domestic producers through the advisory committee to the War Trade Board controlled importations of dyes as well as domestic production. He argued that the domestic industry was fully 2ble to meet foreign com- petition and that the cherical Indus- try of the country was not a “puny infant,” having an invested capital of five billions of dollars and an out- put valued at three and one-half bil- lons annually. Dye Embargo Question. Senators McCumber, republican, North Dakota, and Frelinghuysen urged that the Senate leave to the courts the trial of the Chemical Foun- dation, declaring that the sole ques- tion before the Senate was whether the dye embargo should be continued. Senator Frelinghuysen argued that the dye embargo was “necessary &s & national policy” to protect the Amer- ican dye industry from German dom- ination and also to prevent the coun- try again finding itself, with respéct to chemicals, in the situation it was at the outbreak of the world war. Charging that agents of German in- terests had been active in the capital fighting the dye embargo, Senator Frelinghuysen expressed belief that Germany would consent to surrender her trade with the United States in fabrics, toys and metals to regain the trade in dyes. ASSAILS SENATE CHARGES. Garvan Says Moses Refuses to Ap- pear Before Probe Committee. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 15.—Francis P. Garvan, president of the Chemical Foundation, in a statement last night, replying to what he- termed the “vicious and malicious attack” of Senator Moses upon the foundation and ‘“every other organization or business connected with the Ameri can organic chemical industry. challenged the senator to repeat his statements in the newspaper he owns in Concord, N.

Charges Mail Cars Diverted. Mr. Gompers scouted the idea that the striking shopmen were serfously { interfering with mail trains, adding {that “when cars ordinarily intended {to convey mail matter are used to convey _strikebreakers, then cars cease to be mail cars—and I have information that this has been done, and is being done now.” Mr. Gompers also asserted he had information that the Interstate Com- merce Commission was in posession of official data to the effect that locomotives were being illegally sent out of yards by various railroad campanies unfit for service and dan- gerous to the public.

Guy, former cashier of the First Natlonal Bank of Statesville, was arrested last night, charged ‘with embezzlement.
