LABOR UNIONS ATTACKED Towa Member Declares Civilization Is Menaced by Frequency of Strikes. The industrial situation due to the coal and rail strikes was discussed in the Senate late yesterday, and the climax was reached when Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, democrat. introduced a resolution giving the President power to take over the coal and providing $1.000,000 to start operation. The resolution was referred to the Senate interstate com- merce committee. Senator Calder of New York started the ball rolling with an address de- manding that something be done im- tely to relieve the situation, which he sald threatened to result in the freezing of people in New York. Senator Walsh followed with a criti- sism of the administration and of Congress for “doing nothing™ to pro- tect the public in this crisis. Senator Cummins, of Towa, chairman of the interstate commerce commit- tee, came to the defense of the P dent, asserting that he had done ev an ad- thing possible to bring about justment of the differences the employvers and the worke crediting the President with a sett ment of the bituminous coal strike. / A “Desperate Situntion.” Senator Calder, republican. New York. declared that New York city faced a “desperate situation.” He urged that operators and miners be given forty-eight hours in which to adjust their differences, and that if they failed “it will be ‘the duty of this Congress to give to the Presi- dent full and complete authority to take over the mines and to operate them for the benefit of the American people.” Scnator Lenroot, republican, Wis- consin, declared that the situation with respect to both the coal and rail controversies was “so bad” that the people’s interest now justified “more than mediation.” _ “The President ought to be author- ized to take over both the railroads jand the mines, and, in his discretion to operate them,” said he. Complaining about what he charac- terized as the inaction of both the President and Congre: Senator Walsh, democrat, ) u: . de- clared that much of the unrest in the country was due “to the fact that here we dilly dally; here we obje here we filibuster; here we neve take action.” Demanding lieve what he immediate action to re- said threatened to be desperate situation this coming winte! Senator Walsh warned that there was a “growing belief among the people that in an emergen: allowed to sta and die without re- lief from their government.” Vigorously defending the President, Senator Cummins declared that the ex ccutive had done everything In his Power to bring about scttiements and to relieve the people. He said he had ver known a man who had labored constantly and assiduously, day nd night, mind and heart.” to compos differences between warring industrial factions. He added that responsibility for the failure to end the strikes rested neither with the President nor Con- gress, but that blame attached to both parties to the conroversies. Both Senators Cummins and Borah asserted that the President had no power to compel an agreement. Mr. Borah held also that Congress had no i power under the Constitution to enact legislation compelliing a settlement and a similar view was expressed by Sena- tor Shields, democrat, Tennessee. Attacks Unionism. Senator Nelson. republican, Minne- sota. expressed the opinion that ““whole trouble” was ‘“‘unionism.” “Gentlemen here seem to be afraid to meet the real issue, but that 1s the real issue.” he declared. “There is no use of sidestepping this matter. the You are all afr; to say anything about the unions.” Replying, Senator Cummins de- clared that it ought to be a crime for employes to strike when the govern- ment undertook to adjudge for them the justice of a dispute. He added that in his opinion this was a final remedy for such conditions as those flow existing. “I don't think, he declared. that our wivilization can long endure if a body of artisans, embracing all in one industry, can leave their employment Ly concert and conspiracy at the same time. 1 would be the last man to take away the right to quit, to leave work, except when the govern- ment attempts to give those em- ployes Justice they hope to achieve, Senator Cummins declared that Congress at its next session would take up industrial problems with a view to determining “what place unionism should occupy in the civi- lization of the United States.” INCREASED COAL MINING "TO END PRIORITY PLAN Specific System to Be Dropped, But Certain Provisions Will Be Kept for Time. Increased coal production will en- able discontinuance by next Monday of the specific priority system, under which the federal fuel distribution committee has been moving coal be- tween designated places, Secretary Hoover announced yesterday. A percentage of great lakes ship- ments, Mr. Hoover declared, will still continue to move under the special priority orders. but the needs of New England will be cared for under the regular priority classifications, which will be continued, at lesat for the present. Mr. Hoover declared, “the most dangerous stage” in the coal price situation had passed, except for anthracite, for which, he declared, there would probably have to be con- siderable substitution by hard coal users next winter. The Commerce Secretary expressed the belief that soft coal production during the present week would be at least 6,000,000 tons, as compared with between 3,500,000 and 4,000,000 tons a week the previous four weeks; that next week’'s production should reach 7,000,000 tons and that within a week or ten days the daily production should reach about 8,500,- 000 tons weekly. He declared. however, the country obviously was faced with a shortage of usable freight cars, which may be expected to become acute in about a month, although meanwhile, it was believed, a great deal of coal could be moved. A fuel conservation section, with headquarters at New York, has heen establighed by the Shipping Board. Specific duties entrusted to the section are to make studies of the methods of operation of vessels as regards thelr motive ppwer. The board has chartered Its seventy- seventh vessel for transporting coal from the: United Kingdom to this country, and now has contracted to u-nn-g:,rt mors than 570,000 tons of coal m Great Britain. b WILL PAY PRE-STRIKE WAGES LAWRENCE, Mass,, August 25.—The Moromac ~ Mills Company _announced vesterday that beginning next Monday it would pay t} a of 2 befo like this they will be | REARS 21 CHILDREN, BUT GETS PRIZE FOR FINE CROPS{ QUEBEC, August 25.—Hildebert Le- tourneau of St. Plerre, Montmagny county, has ralsed twenty-one children, also some fine potatoes and corn and wheat. | His neighbors are right proud of him —because of his great and happy fam- ily—and the government has taken no- tice of his fine crops and awarded him the 1922 prize for agricultural merit— medailie du merite agricole.

BRIDGE IS DYNAMITED Residence of Foreman Blown Up in Floridla—Homes of Work- ers Painted Yellow. By the Assoclated Pre CHICAGO, August 25.—The ralil- road strike reached the end of its eighth week today to the accompani- ment of bomb explosions and exten- sive violence. Bombings followed a night of rail greasings and the cutting of alr hose at Roodhouse, 111, division point on the Chicago and Alton. Two explo- sions occurred near the Chicago and Alton roundhouse and another bomb burst near a hotel, where railroad wokers were quarteed. The town was thrown into darkness shortly before the bombs were set off and citizens were described as afraid to leave their homes. Passengers on one of the Alton's fast trains which pulled out of Rood- house during the distrubance, said many shots were fired. Bridge Dynamited. Officials of the Chicago, Burlington and Quiney railroad and county au- thorities were investigating an at- tempt to dynamite a railroad bridge near Spanish Lake, Mo, seventeen miles from St. Louis. Although the ex- plosion was sald to have been ter- little ‘damage was reported. arlier in the day reports of trouble in Jacksonville, Fia., were followed by the dynamiting of the home of J. A. Williams, a foreman in the Seaboard Air Line shops and a member of the city council. The front of the house damaged, but Williams and his who were in the rear building, scaped injury. ; Homes Painted Yellow. Following reports from a National iuard officer, Gov. McCray of Indiana sked federal officials to investigate ike disorders at Garrett, Ind., where workers were threatened, their homes painted vellow and where bombs were discovered. Charges of murder were made against 4 negro commissary worker for the ‘Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, at San Bernardino, Calif., where a striking electrician was shot and killed. The striker, it was charged, was killed in running pistol fight with the negro. The Santa Fe offered rewards for per- ms who have been guilty of recent bombings. Suburban Train Stoned. An lllinois Central suburban train tunning between New Orleans and the company’s shops. at Harahan, was toned by a crowd, which dispersed before police arrived. A passenger on the train was struck on the head by a tock hurled through a coach window. Proposals were made to United! States Marshal McDonald by striking shopmen at Shawnee, Okla., to replace federal und company guards at rail- road shops with strikers. Union lead- aid if th were permitted to take over the situation they would af- ford protection to all workers which the railroads might import. Marshal { McDonald replied that the proposal | was impracticable. Chairmen of the striking shopcrafts said they feared! further trouble at Shawnee under ex- | isting conditions. B Ofticials Wil Not Yield. With the question of seniority the chief barrier to peace, officials of the ! Miswouri, Kansas and Texas railroad | declared they would not yield in their { stand against restoring seniority to i returning strikers. W. M. Whitenton, | ant chief operating officer of the road, said the M., K. and T. would re-employ men now on strike if they had not been guilty of violence, but that they must return as new em- ployes. At the same time the Santa Fe an nounced at Topeka, Kan.. that condi tions had so improved it would be im possible to take back all strikers. The announcement said the road would take back only such strikers as there | might be places for, and that they | must return as new employes. !

CHINESE KEEP WATCH OF BOLSHEVIST ENVOY! Preaching of Communism to Stu- dents Is Alarming Foreign Office. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily New: Copyright. 19 PEKING, August 25.—The foreign office is taking notice of the ac- tivities of A. A. Joffe, the bolshevist emissary to Peking. Assisted by a large staff, supplied with plenty of funds and living regally. he is con- centrating his propaganda energies on work among the Chinese students. This is considered dangerous at the present time because of the fiery nature of the radical students, many of whom are converts to communism, and because of the precarious con- gition of the Peking government. Thus far Joffe’s propaganda | speeches have centered upon ex- tolling revolutionary methods, to praising the free thinkers among the Chineze students and to making statements like these: “Our great| revolution was planned by youths and the most revolutionary leaders come from the student class.” “See the glorious name the youths of Russia are enjoying today!

Potter, state fuel mmin—l Administrator Asked to Correct * Impression Caused by As- sertions. istrator for Michigan, yesterday, in which he replied to Mr. Potter's recent criticlsm of federal fuel distributing methods, and told Mr. Potter that he was “grossly misinformed” as to the coal situation. He asked that impres- sions of bad faith gained from Mr. Pot- ter's statements be corrected. Mr. Hoover, in his reply, nsArepDrt('d by the Associated Press, explained that the federal fuel distributor had had les: than a million tons of coal a week aval able for distribution outside of the states in which it was produced, and told the Michigan fuel administrator that despite this situation “‘there has not been a single shutdown of the es- sential clags of consumers in your state or elsewhere.” He added that “because the federal fuel distributor had refused to allow your state to draw coal for other purposes to the prejudice of other states and insisted that your stocks be drawn upon is no warranty for a personal attack upon Mr. Spencer and hiz stafr.” Avallable Cos Limited. “If you are correctly reported in the pres: said_ Mr. Hoover in his telegram to Mr. Potter, it appears to me that you are grossiy misinformed as to the whole coal situation during the past months. Over and above the deductions of the coal production states for their own use the federal distributor has had available for ex- port from such states less than 1.00, 000 tons per week. The needs of the non-producing states for railways utilities, public institutions and vital supplies have been alone over 3,000.- 000 tons a week. Yet by incessant shifting of supplies through super- priorities to meet emcrgencies and insisting that these categories draw upon their stocks, all these services have been maintained through the na- tion and there has not been a single shutdown of this elass of consumers | in vour state or elsewhere. 1 “Free from any coal operators’ in- fluence, the whole surplus of coal from | producing states is under the priority | rules of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, in which you have parti pated. the operators who have| volunta co-operated in_distribu- | tion have had no control of the des- tiny of coal except to insist on pay- ment.

Coal loadings Wednesday totaled 18,169 cars, according to reports re- ceived today from the coal-carrying railroads by the Association of Rail- way Executives. This was an increage of 397 cars over the preceding day and except for Monday, August 21, when 19,043 cars were loaded, was the reatest number loaded on any one ay since the strike of coal miners tegan April 1.
