B. Sawyer, the family pby cian, described the illness as hydro- nephrosis, from which Mrs. Harding has suffered at intervals since a surgical op- cration nine years ago. In 1916 she passed through an acute attack, and shortly after Mc. Harding was eclected president in 1920 was agin {ll. On both occasions, however, her liiness yielded more readily to treatment, it was said, than the present attack. Mra. Harding felt the first effects of her present illness nearly two weeks ago while on a week end oruise on the May- flower with the president and a party of friends. Last wek she was reported to be suffering from a severe cold, and early this week felt sufficiently recovered 'to again be about the White House. A set- back, however. occurred, with complica- tions, nephrosis, again confining Mrs. Harding to her Toom. During the past two days Dr. Sawyer has been in almost constant attendance at her bedside, his son, Dr. Carl W. Saw- yer. of Marion, O., arriving today for con- sultation. Dr. Joel T. Boone, naval med. fcal officer on the Mayflower, a staff of laboratory technicians and two trained nurses aj have been in attendance. The president spent part of the morn- ing today at Mrs. Hacding’s bedside. After the cabinet meeting he again left fils office to be with her, and late in the afternoon lald aside”his ‘official duties to turn to the sick room. Messages ex- pressing the hope that Mre. Harding would quickly be restored to health were received throughout the day at the White House, and a numbee: of cabinet mem- bers afid prominent government officials called personally to inquire as to her condition. The president and Mrs. Harding have remained in Washington for the last two months continuously. except for one brief trip down the Potomac on fhe presiden- tial vacht, and have had peactically no social engagements, / Mrs. Harding had appeared to be in excellent health, but triends are of the opinion that the strain incident to the acute industrial situation, with which she had kept constantly in touch, might have contributed to her ill- ness. v s AGAIN TO HEAR GERMAN OPERA SUNG BY GERMANS —German opera 11l be heard in Amer- and with 200 artists of ches Operahaus of Berlin who bring back German music will come 5 German product—thor Lovers of Wagner will haye ake him stralght, Director Hartmann the Berlin company- has declded, so give his audiences performacnes will begin at six o'clock in the evening with uncut seores.

P.)— On the basis of personal reports to cer- tain administration leaders, a' more op- timistic view of the railroad strike sit- uation was apparent today in government circles than in the past week. Several officlals, who have been in close personal touch with strike develop- ments declared that settlement of the la- bor controversy on & number of roads was a “probable” result of the series of con- ferences which they understood to be in progress in Chicago. The extent to which the negotiations might go toward affecting a national set- tlement was not forecast in these circies, but the hope was expressed that a partial Ppeace with “key” roads might serve—as was the case in the bltuminous coal settle- ment—as a starting point for a general settlement. Attorney General Daugherty in a state- ment said tonight the government was not a party to any negotlations between the rallroads and their employes but declared that such negotiations would not be in- terfered with by the temporary restrain- ing order issued at Chicago. There was no development today in con- nection with the legal back fire strated by the International Brotherhood of electrical Workers—oné group of the striking o®afts—through a petition for a restraining order to prevent enforcement of the government's temporary Injunction Conferences were held between counsel for the union and United States Attorney Gordon with a view to postponing the before Judge Bailey, but it was decided to proceed with the hearing as previously arranged.

Suppore you reject the pro- position. What position do you then oceupy? The anti‘agreement forces wWere ex- ecedingly active today, and their orators were allowed to voice their arguments freely. Strenuous effort is being made to sway the convention to vote down the agreement and send the scale committee back to the operators with insthuctions to insist upon the granting of the nine- teen demands, adopted last January by the Shamokin convention. When Mr. Murray finished speaking he was heartily applauded but after the applause had died down there were sey- eral boos and hisses. PRODUCTION FORECASTS BY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Washington, Sept. 8—(By The A. P.) —This year's important farm crops will be worth approximately $1,250,000,000 more than thelr value last Pro- duction forecasts announced loday by the department of agriculture indicate this vear's important crops will aggre- gate approximately $6,600,000,000, cal- culating their value on September 1 farm prices. These crops, corn, cotton and hay, will exceed a billion dollars each in value, their aggregate comprising more than one-half of the value of all the fm- portant ctops. | August growing conditions were es- Pecially detrimental to the bumper corn crop and to the cotton crop. Corn suf- fered a loss during August of 142,000, 000 bushels, worth at September 1 pri es $89,000,000. The government's fore- cast today placed the, prospective pro- duction at 2,875,000,000 bushels. Cotton had an almost equally bad August, an earlier report showing prospective pro- duction decreased 874,000 bales during. the month. That amount of cotton at September 1 prices wou!d have been worth $88,150,000. Present indications are that practical- 1y all of this year's crop will be worth more than last year, with the exception of wheat, rye and peanuts. The value of the tobacco, Tice and cot- tonseed crops are expected to exceed thir last year's value.
