Washington, Aug. 18, The senate
began putting the final toueffts on
it draft of the administration tariff
bill. It work wa Incomplete when
it recessed, but the measure will be
passed Saturday and then will go to
conference for a final rewriting.
Dnruitf the lorn? dav and nlirht
hour in m v effort were made to
change section of the bill, but only
a few of them met .with ucce. An
outstanding feature was a renewal of
tne dye fight and the reaffirmation
by the senate of it action of Thurs
day night in increasing the dutie on
coal tar dyes and synthetic chemicalt
and explosive and baking them on
American instead of foreign valua
tion. The vote to reaftiAii wat 39

When this section wn rartif
Senator Mose. reoublican. New
Hampshire, who had reserved a sep
arate vote on it, announced that in
view of the overwhelming vote, 38
to 23, by which the senate had firt
approved the increased dutie, he
wouJd not pres hi motion for a re
consideration. Immediately Senator
amoot ot utan, ranking reoub lean
on the finance committee, wa on hi
feet, pleading that the icnate rescind
its action.
This is an embargo a thousand
times over and worse than an em
bargo," said he. "Dyes and coal tar
chemicals not made in this country
will have to oav a rate of dutv to
high that it is a crime. No human
being can defend these rates before
the American people."
un the roll call nine reoub icans
voted against the increase and four
democrat upported them.
The ' republican agricultural tariff
bloc-finally won its fight to require
soap manufacturers to oav dutv on
vegetable oils imported (or use in
manufacturing soap. Under the bill
as reported to the senate, there was a
provision that such oils imported for
nonedible purposes would come in
duty free, but, on motion of Senator
Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the
bloc, the senate struck out this pro
vision 37 to 25. Chairman McCum
ber and other member of the finance
committee opposed the motion, but
it received considerable upport from
the democratic a well as the repub
lican side.

Cabinet Divided
in Naming Head
of Reserve Board
Uu bine i lutereeU Support
Governor Harding Kti
gene Meyer Favored bjr
Agricultural Illoc.
By OEORCE P. AUTHIER.
Waahlaaloa ttrmpom4mtt OMabs H.
Washington, Aug. 18 President
Harding' official family it hopelessly
divided over the appointment of a
successor to W. P. G. Hardinu, gov
ernor of the federal reserve board.
The situation has become scute,
with the result that the term of Gov
ernor Harding hat been allowed to
expire without naminu a successor
and without intimation to Governor
I!ardingwhetlier he is to be reap
pointed.
The business interests of the coun
try are generally recommending the
reappointment of Governor Harding,
while the farm bloc members of the
party, with whom the president de
sire to stand well, are reacting fa
vorably to the attack made in the
senate upon Governor Harding by
Senator ilefllm of Alabama and la
vor the appointment of Eugene
Meyer, head1 of the War Finance cor
poration, as governor of the board,
while J. K. Howard of Iowa, presi
dent ot the farm bureau federation,
i the leading choice of the farm
bloc group for the "dirt farmer" va
cancy on the board recently created
by congress.
Harding It Democrat,
The business and banking tuoport
for Governor Harding it reinforced
by republican political leaden who
point out the reappointment of Gov
ernor Harding would furnish the
president with an excellent oppor
tunity to demonstrate that politic
ha no place in the appointment of
member of the board.
Governor Harding is a outhern
democrat and a resident of Alabama.
Hi friend charge that the attack
made upon him by Senator Hefljin
are due to the fact that Governor
Harding refused to support the Ala
baman when he was a candidate for
the senate,
The appointment of Eugene Meyer.
urged by many western republicans
in recognition of the work accom
plished by htm in extending the aid
of the corporation to the farming and
livestock interets-of the country, is
regarded as fruitless because of the
fact that the law does not allow the
appointment of two member of .the
board, from one state, Edmund
Piatt is already a member of the
board from New York, which is the
residence also of Mr. Meyer.
This feature of the situation ha
given rise to the rumor, which lacks
any official corroboration, that D, R.
Lnssmger, comptroller of the cur
rency, one of President Harding
fellow townsmen, might be made
member of the board to succeed
Governor Harding, Mr. Meyer made
comptroller of the currency, and
part of the story is that the presi
dent will not appoint J. R. Howard
a the "dirt farmer" member of the
board, but will recognize the south
in the geographical distribution of
the places, by selecting a Mr, Hous
ton, a Missouri farmer, for the
place. ,
The appointment of a Missouri
"dirt farmer" is said to meet the
approval of the Missouri republican
leaders who see in it a chance to
bolster up their fortes in opposing
the election of Senator James A.
Reed.
Still another part of this story, as
repeated in Washington, is that
President Harding will then name
Senator McCumber to head the War
Finance corporation.

TWO CENTS
Government
by Law Must
Be Upheld
PRESIDENT HARDINO -
Chief Excuctive of Nation
Lays Whole Story of Mine
and Rail Strikes Be
fore the People.
Asks Coal Commissior.
Wathington, Aug. !8.-(By A. P.)
President Harding laid the whole
lory of the rail and coal ttrikc be
fore the American people today with
a pledge that, whatever the cost, govs
rrnment by law will be sustained.
Summing up before a joint tession
of senate and house, hi effort to
watd industrial peace, the president
asserted that neither employer nor
employe could escape responsibility
for the present situation, and that no
mail niiiiumy wviim m. i.iiih.-
ted by "armed lawletsness, "conspir
acy" or "barbarity und butchery," to
override the 'paramount intrreita of
the public.
"We must reattert the doctrine that
in thit republic the first obligation
and the firtt allegiance of every citi
zen, high or low, it to hit govern
meni," (aid the preident. "No mat
ter what cloud may gather, no mat
ter what ttorm may ensue, no mat
ter what hardship may attend or
what tacrifice may be necettary.gov
eminent by law mutt be sustained.
Uphold Rights of Men.
"Wherefore I am retolved to u
all the power of the government to
maintain transportation and to tut
tain the right of men to work."
To (trengthen the hand of adminis
tration in dealing with pretent and fu
ture coal troublet, Mr. Harding'
atked for authorization of a national
agency to purchase, tell and dittrib
ute coal, and for creation of a com
mission to inquire into "every phate
of coal production, tale and dittribu
toion." j
No similar request ha been made
for emergency rail legislation, the
president saying that although the
railroad labor board had inadequate
authority, other agencies of the gov
ernment were armed with statute to
prevent conspiracy against interstate
commerce and to insure safety in
railway operation.
"It it my purpose," he continued,
"to invoke these law, civil and crim
inal, againit all offender alike."
Would Protect Aliens.
One otter legislative enactment,
a law to permit the federal govern
ment to step in and protect aliens
where state protection fails, was ad
vocated by the chief executive aa a
result of what he termed "the butchery
of human beings, wrought in mad
nets", at Herrin, III, Despite the
protest of foreign governments
whose nationals suffered in tht Her
rin mine battle, he aid, federal offi
cials were powerless to take in hand
the situation created "by the mockery
of local inquiry and the failure of jus
tire in Illinois."
Members Cf the tenate and house
received the pronouncements of the
president with repeated salvos cf ap
plause. Generally the addres won
approbation from all element in con
gress, although lome democratic
members were inclined to criticize
the chief executive's utterance as
capable of-a double construction.
At the White House it wa in
dicated that Mr. Harding' reference
to invocation of existing statutes
against conspiracy related to the
Sherman anti-trust law under which
the Department of Justice already has
directed an investigation of the act
of some members of nonstriking rail
unions who walked out in the far
west.
The text of President Harding's
address will be found on Page 8,
