tributed toward a pending coal

operators to settle the trouble by

Omaha l.mvfl wlr.
Washington. July 25. The Inter
state Commerce commission today
declared the existence of a national
emergency, holding that the miners'
and shopmen's strikes have rendered
the railroads unable to meet the pub
lic needs.
,The conimission issued two orders,
one dealing with the common car
riers of the entire country and the
other applying only to those east of
the Mississippi river, including west
bank crossings.
Under the first order all roads, bc
Rinning tomorrow, are directed "to
forward traffic to destination bv
routes most available to expedite its
movement and prevent congestion,
without regard to - the routing
thereof made by shippers or by car
riers from which the traffic is re
ceived, or to the ownership of the
cars." All rules, regulations and
practices relating to car service con
flicting with the order were sus
pended and superseded.
Food Gets Priority.
Under the second order, all the
roads east of the Mississippi river
were further directed to give priority
to food, feed, livestock, perishable
products, coal, coke and fuel oil. In j
order to meet the prospective- coal
famine in the places where it is likely
to be felt first, the commission di
vided consumption into five classes.
Cars will be supplied to the mines in
the manner in which they can most
suitably serve the needs of these five
classes in the order named.
Coal cars must be unloaded in 24
hours by consignees or they won't
get more cars.
Class one covers special purposes,
which the commission or its agents
may designate. ' Class two applies to
fuel for railroads and vessels; public
utilities: ice plants; hospitals, and
public institutions. The third class
includes coal destined to the north
west, consigned to lake Erie 'ports
for transshipment by water to Lake
Superior ports. Class four relates to
coal for domestic uses and class five
to all other purposes.
Harding Suggests Plan.
Today's cabinet meeting failed to
produce any new solution for the
industrial situation. President Har

they frame a minimum wage based

there will be an early shipment of
cattle to Omaha, according to Wil

who was on the local market with
two loads of yearling stockers.
Mr. Stringer said that there had
been no rain all summer in south

The cattle brought in by Mr.

President Harding faces a new and difficult situation
in the coal strike. When Roosevelt forced the reopening
of the Pennsylvania mines under threat of taking govern
ment possession of. them, the dispute concerned mainly
wages . and working conditions. Furthermore, it was
merely a localized conflict in which the soft coal miners
had no part.
Twenty years have passed since then. Today every
coal field in America is involved. In addition to all the
other questions the issue of unionism or no unionism has
been thrust to the fore, making this seem a life-and-death
struggle.
The friendly intervention of President Harding first
followed the Rooseveltian lines, proposing that the miners
return to work at the old and favorable scale while a
mixed commission of inquiry worked .out a solution. So
changed was the temper of miners and operators that

quantities under this protection and
in accordance with the president s in
vitation to the operators to open the
mines some other steps might be
taken, but that Presidept Harding
was unwilling to consider at this time
what they might be.
iCew York, July 25. Declaring
that the government s "fantastic
schemes to reopen the mines were a
complete failure, and that they
would contribute to a nendine fuel
famine, John L. Lewis, president of
the international union, tonight re
newed his invitation to operators to
settle the strike by Joint conference.
"The attempt to reopen the mines
by assembling and parading engines
of war to awe American citizens,"
his statement continued, "would be
a national farce, did it not possess
the elements of tragedy."
His plea of immediate resumption
of negotiations between operators
And miners was basd on what he
termed the complete failure of the
government's efforts, which, he
asserted, have been the net result of
governmental attempts to avert a
fuel famine. Mr. Lewis remained
firm, however, for a national confer
ence to include all coal operators,
and reiterated the refusal of his
organization to conter or negotiate
new wage contracts by districts.
Has Conference Today.
The mine workers' chief tonight
went to Philadelphia, where tomor
row he will meet the five union dis
trict presidents, representing 310,000
anthracite and bituminous miners in
Pennsylvania who have been idle
during the 17 weeks of strike. From
Philadelnhia he will BO to Washing
ton to await further results of fed
eral attempts to bring about, a re
sumption of coal digging.
'Ten days have elapsed since the
president directed operators . whose
miners are on strike to resume the
production of coal," said Mr. Lewis,
following which he telegraphed the
governors of commonwealths urging
them to accord military protection to
all coal companies employing strike
breakers. "Despite this policy," the statement
issued by Mr. Lewis continued, "not
a single union nincr has returned to
work. It must now be obvious to
all that the American miner will not
be driven back to work at starvation

Col. A. A. Sprague, chairman of the
American Legion's national rehabili
tation committee, in a letter to Brig.
Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, personal
physician to President Harding, and
chief co-ordinator of the federal
board of hospitalization, made public
today, charges Gen. Sawyer is stand
ing in the way of proper care for
wounded and shell shocked veterans
and holding up hospital plans voted
by congress.
"I recognize the tact," Col. Sprague
wrote to the president's physician,
"that before becoming chief co-ordinator
of the federal board of hospi
talization you had no contact with
the men and women who were serv
ing in the army and navy during the
war, and no experience either in the
field or in government service, that
would give you a chance to really
know how men feel who lost their
nerve, their health and their minds
in devotion to duty or how their
families look upon these men who
went out in the strength of their
youth to invest their life in their na
tion's service."
Appealing to Gen. Sawyer to "stand
aside," Col. Sprague said: "Over 4,500
mental cases are still confined in con
tract institutions and that of the re
maining 4,715 victims of mental dis
orders only 3,500 are in government
institutions devoted entirely to their
care."

"But, 'worst still, for'1" the man at

"Johnny" Mabray, who, with "the
Waco Kid" (Willard Powell) and
Eddie K. Morris, took the farmers of
the middle west to a $5,000,000 trim
ming during the years of 1907-08, is
now engaged in mustering influence
to go before President Harding to
ask a complete pardon from a portion
of a jail sentence still pending and
the remitting of a $10,000 fine, im
posed in 1910.
Since 1912 Mabray has been living
in Kansas City.
"And I'm afraid that if President
Harding does not act quick the un

go crooked again," Mabray says.

Last week Mabray visited Col. M.

broken up.
"After I was released from the
Leavenworth penitentiary the police

Railroad Officials Protest
Assessments on Properties
Lincoln, July 25. (Special.) Bur

equalization today, protesting against
assessments made on their properties
in Nebraska.
both refused this offer. There is no reason to believe that
the Harding commission would not have been as equit
able in its decision as was the Anthracite Coal Strike com
mission, which reported: "The claim of the worker that
he has the same right to join with his fellows in forming
an organization, through which to be represented, that
the stockholder of the corporation has to join others in
forming the corporation, and to be represented by its di
rectors and other officers, seems to be thoroughly well
founded, not only in ethics, but under economic consider
ations.'' .
It is clear, if one has followed the news rather than
the incendiary comments, that President Harding at no
time has threatened to run the mines or the railroads with
soldiers. Any sensible man realizes that there are not
enough troops nor is there the need. Reason, and not
force, will compose the industrial unrest.

not keep on supporting them. There

the most feasible solution in keeping

the Public
and encouragement of sane public opinion, is welcomed
and needed. But anyone who attempts to stay the hand
of the president, who points out meaning in his statements
and actions that is not there or endeavors to inflame pop-
ular prejudice for political or other ends is as bad as the
more violent incendiarists he stirs up.
If every move of the president is to be assailed and
his good intentions reviled, instead of bringing peace .to
the industrial conflict, war will have followed war. It is
not by partisan criticism that coal is dug or trains are run.
If it becomes necessary in the next 48 hours for the
president to take over the mines, as a national necessity,
it will be only after every other means of settlement has
been exhausted. It will mean that in in no other way can
the dire threats of freezing," hunger and starvation be
avoided. In such a situation President Harding will de
serve and require support of united public opiniqn. A

Attempted Suicide Wife
- Makes Statement to
Police.
Lincoln, July 25."-(Special Tele

der arrest tonight charged with at
tempted murder of his wife, Sarah,
a three months' bride. The tragedy
is a result of a triangle affair, police
say.
The shooting occurred Sunday
night and was first reported as an
attempted suicide. Mrs. Duhling,
in a sworn statement, asserts she
awoke Sunday night with blood
streaming down her face and her
husband bending over her.
"You tried to kill me," she said
"No, honey, you must have tried
to kill yourself, he replied, she al
leges.
Mrs. uuniing slept opposite a
wall, while her husband slept onno
site a chair, on which he admits he
kept a revolver for the last three
weeks. He asserts his wife must
have reached over his body, obtained
the revolver and shot herself.
They had quarreled intermittently
over a Miss Kramer of this city, the
wife says in her statement, and only
a week ago, she declares, she wrote
Miss Kramer and told her to keep
away from Duhling.
Mrs. Duhling was a war widow
when she married Duhling at Waco,
Neb., May 31. Her former husband
died in France. The wound from
the revolver is not serious.
