Renewal of negotiation to aettle the anthracite coal strike i under war here tonight, Following several hour' confer ence between Senator George Whar ton Pepper, Pennsylvania, and Sena tor David A, Keed, Pennsylvania, with John I., Lewis, president of the I'nited Mine Workers, this afternoon, S.

Mr. Lewia entering the confer ence after consultation with Secre tary of Labor Davis.- It was reported that Senators Pep per and Keed had a compromise pro posal to make to the representatives of the miners and operator which r--' My would remit in a settlement strike. President Lewis said he i. . rd if the issue of arbitra tion demanded by the operator were remotjd, other matters in dispute, such as the extension of the exist I iiig wage sale, would not be intur ' mountable. , Harding Telia Plana. President Harding sought to clari fy todayjhe bewilderment of the pub lic over "the policy of the administra tion toward the railroad and an thracite coal strikes. . The president authorized the an nouncement that he think it desir able and necessary that congress, be fore adjournment, should authorize him to take over railtoad and mines to meet a great national emergency, ahould one develop. The president is firmly of the opinion that such legis lation mutt voluntarily form con- res. He will make a formal re ueet for it. Furthermore, the statement was K homed at the White House, that congress doe enact such legisla rt, the president would act upon it hplf in the case of grim necessity. was emphatically stated that gov- iment (enure of any railroad or line would be the last thing that administration would elect to do. The president desired the that this fttitude on this issue be made so un mistakably clear that he authorized Bis spokesman to say that he does tiot believe in government opera tion of railroads or mines. He has no thought at present that so serious an emergency will develop from the existing industrial conflict as to make necessary an executive act which would clash so violently with hi economic convictions. Make Viewi Known. Tt was admitted at the White House that the president had made known his views on this subject to congressional leader. He has told them he thouiiht it would be wise, (Turn ta fata Twa, fnlama Twa.) Heavy Vote Is Polled in California Election San Francisco, Aug. J'.

Polk, Xeb., Aug. 29. (Special Telegram.) Attorner General Clar ence A. Davis, at a meeting held here today challenged Charle W. Bryan, democratic candidate for gov ernor, to cease dealing in generali ties about the reduction of taxes and point out so the voters will know just how he hopes to accomplish his promised tax reductions. The occasion for the meeting was the 16th anniversary of the incorpo ration of the town of l'olk, which was celebrated by a gala day, con sisting of band concerts, sports of various kinds, a merchants' parade, a chautauciua program and two speeches, one by Davis, and the other by Bryan. In an address of more than one hour and a quarter, Bryan told of how through his efforts he had es tablished muuicipal coal yards, brought about reduction in the sell ing price of ice, light, heat and pow er, and also gas. He asserted that should he be elected he could re duce the slate taxes fully 20 per cent as a starter. He further declared that the code system should be en tirely abolished and the state again go back to the innumerable boards and commissions. Davi Analyse Dollar. Davis made an analysis of where each tax dollar is spent. He said that out of each dollar paid in taxes but 19 cents went to the state, the balance, 81 cents, being spent by the various local governments. "How does Mr. Bryan houe to re duce taxes 20 per edit?" asked Da vis. "Six cent of the V) cents in state taxes goes for education. Does Mr. Bryan propose to do away with that 6 cents, thus depriving our state educational institutions of support? Another 3 per ceqt. goes for the sup port of our unfortunates in state in stitutions. Does Mr. Bryan propose to take away that support? Another 3 per cent rocs for our magnificent state highways.

He fur ther say that he expect to bring the case to trail at the earliest pos sible moment. "We have the tank of the gasoline stove and we can prove conclusively that thire was no explosion," Mr. Keed said. "We have the skull of the dead girl to show that she was struck by a blunt instrument, pre sumably a hammer. The nature of the burn and the burned portion of the floor indicate that gasoline was poured over the body and set afire. W have the letter written to Mr. Lowe in an effort to entice her to a lonely spot, a we believe, to murder her and collect insurance." program? Only 3 per cent goes into the fund for the operation of our state government itself. Could Save 3 Per Cent, "If you were to abolish in this state the governor, secretary of tate, treasurer, auditor, land commissioner, attorney general, the legislature, u preme court, district courts, railway commission and all of the code sec retaries, when you have gotten throuh you would have saved ex actly 3 cents on each dollar of taxes paid in Nebraska.- How is Mr. Bryan going to deliver on his 20 per cent promise, when he only ha 3 per cent to work with in the first place? The code system is merely the national government system, that of a cabinet. I do not pretend to say that the code system cannot be im proved upon, but 1 do say that a return to the numerous commissions and boards will not in any way work an improvement in our state form of government. Bryan declared that while the liquor question may be important in same states, it had been agreed by the democratic candidate that it was not important here. Replying to this feature of Bryan's speech, Davis said: "How are the mighty fallen. For a generation Mr. Bryan and his illus trious brother have stood like guard ian angels over the democratic party to protect it from the forces of evil represented by Senator Hitchcock. They have represented the better ele ment in the democratic party. They have admitted it themselves. But man cannot live by bread alone.' Neither can he thrive on principle forever, and hunger, the greatest boss of them all, has at last driven them toward the counter filled with pie. Enemies for JO years, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hitchcock are at last friends. The millenium has at last arrived. The lion and the lamb have lain down together. Hunger for political pie hat brought them all about a common platform, For a generation they have been, hungry democrat; now it is hard to tell whether they are hungry or thirs ty .democrat. For a generation Hitch rock has stood at the greatest oppo nent of woman suffrage and of pro hibition in the state.

Opposing the McN'ary land re clamation amendment to the bill, Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota, in charge of the meas ure, told the senate today that the proposal would add hundred of million and perhaps billion of dol lar to the cost of the bonu pro gram, "I wonder if the senator believe we can attach hi amendment and bring thi bill before the president and have it signed," asked Senator McCumber. Surest Guarantee." "I think I (an say that the presi dent thinks more of this amendment than of other features of the bill," retorted Senator McN'ary. "If you want the president to sign the bill, the surest guarantee is to add thi amendment. "I can not imagine, if that be true, what all the objection of the presi dent and the secretary of the treas ury ha been about," returned Sena tor McCumber. "Both based objec tion to the bill as It then tood upon the cost to the government and the interference with the refunding of the hort time government obliga tions." Doubt Good Faith. Senator McCumber declared that when the enemies of the bonus "come flocking" to the support of the reclamation amendment he was a bit "suspicious," adding that if it was desired to test the "good faith" of the supporters of the amendment it should be put through as a separate bill. Washington. Aug. 2. Announc ing his support of the soldiers' bonus as "nothing more than a square deal for the boys who ciitl tne tigtiting, Senator Laooer. republican, Kansas, told the senate today that "the war profiteers and the peace profiteers owe a bonus to tne soioier oi ine world war. "There is no better guarantee against militarism than to require the men who proht out of war to pay tor it, he said. lhose who remained at home made enough here in the United States to enable us to pay many times over the debt we owe to the men who fought our battles. Wall Street wants to pay it with a sales tax which would be paid largely by the farmers, the laboring people and other in the form of a tax on food and clothing and other necessi ties. "Pay It to Soldier." "Profiteering during the war pro duced one American millionaire for every three soldiers killed in France. I would like to see the government rerover the hundreds of 'million of dollar stolen from the treasury by the crook and grafter who profi teered off the government in war contracts, and then tie that money to pav off the soldier' bonus. Then there another way we can raise the money, l et's go after the billion that the foreign governments owe, collect the interest promptly and pay it to our soldiers.

Three Women In The Omaha Bee Editorial Contest; South Profetnlonal Winner , By II. HOWARD BIGGAR. UmiaKlalau, Km, I a Oaaaa ) BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUBS. A great army was mobiliied In our country in lY.'.'-n army whote achievement may not be fully real ized by the world at large but which are none the let noteworthy. W refer to the farm boys and girt' club, embracing at the present time membership of S'10.000, with field of endeavor covering nearly every part of the United States. Organized in a small way about 10 year ago under the auspice of the Department of Agriculture, with the idea that the enlistment of young life on the farm might vitally affect farm prac tice and create an interest in farm problem, club work ha exceeded the expectation of its most optimis tic supporter. Farm have always teemed with secret and the fields, kitchens, pas tures and feeding pen have been filled with opportunities. Two dec ade ago these tecrrt were little realized and the growing youth had little or no idea of just what the farm offered in the matter of a fu ture life work. Hut today, through the avenue of club work, the boy and girl enrolled have acquired in formation and displayed initiative which i the marvel of their elder. The boy and girl club worker of today arc business men and women in the making. They have their own officer and at their mieting held at regular interval thry handle thing in a business-like way. The proper rations for hogs and sheep and cat tle, method of canning fruit and vegetables, the care of baby chick, the cost of producing corn and po tatoesall the-se are subjects which are thoroughly threshed out. The boy and girl club member are econ omists. In a census taken of 253 who at tended the International Live Stock exposition in 1920, it was found that the combined wealth of these young folks was $300,000, all of which had been acquired through club work. Club worker are interested in edu cation a evidenced by the fact that two year ago 1,800 of them entered agricultural college for coure which would more fully equip them for their rural task. Youth i ever optimist!, ever hopeful. Somehow, when one see these energetic young people there is a tendency to forget the fact that times have been dull and that the Industrial skier have been dark. Rather there come the thought that the activities of these boys and girl augur well for the future. Equipped with facts about the farm and the f;.rm home and problems which were unknown to their parents, they are going forward to be a real force in community upbuilding. The les sons learned in their club work are fitting them to be virile leader in agriculture, the world' greatest industry.

Not un,y ' "' """" ot l'ri,lc nd aatisfaction to my neighbor, but bv its braiilv and arare and iieneral attractiveness it sheds diMinction and add to the value of property round about tt. Now, my home is a uiodr.t affair It needs paint n the roof doe not rover it as well as the morigaxe. What i meant for a gra.sy plot show bare patches like the expo.nl pottions of a little boy's tioutrrs. And, instead of gracrful, flowering vines, my houe i rvrrrun by little rosy rambler who cUuilier about, scraping off the paint and leaving muddy streaks in their wake. There are five of them, and all the hard work, sacrifice and care thry mean to tne is as nothing compared to the pride I have in their clear eyes, clean minds and sturdy bodies. To, the hope I fold in their future the pres ent struggle to keep them clothed, homed and fed is a small affair. They represent rny family estate. To them I hope to leave an inheritance of character and courage. And to the world 1 shall bequeath, not large suns for charity, i iiool or hospital, but a family of turn and women equipped to take up the problem of life. Rut when my neighbor begin to talk about taxes 1 have an unea.y feeling that, according to hi way of looking at it, I should have drowned these dimpled babes before their eye were open. He has it figured out to a penny how much it is costing him to educate one of my children. Now, I am paying taxes, too, but for nine months of the year my chil dren are under the supervision of trained teachers, men and women of unquestioned character and high ideals. It doesn't stem to me that they are receiving exorbitant wage. (Hit my neighbor ha no children. To him school i just a building that cost too much in the firot place, is costing too much in the upkeep and doesn't give back a profit to the town. I believe my neighbor is wrong. My children have a monetary value to the town. For their need my earning are spent. I buy from liim urh things as he has fo tell, thereby adding to his riche. I go farther. I am not raising pig for profit, nor cattle for the mart, but raw material for the nation of tomorrow. They are not mine alone. They belong to my neighbor as well. It is to his interest as well as mine .that they become fit and useful citizens. As they are trained, as they are edu cated, they will develop. The com munity has a part in that develop ment. My neighbor hat no more right to spread propaganda for cheap schools, a niggardly system that will dwarf the future of my children, than I have to throw trash in his front yard.

Driven Back by Heat. During the night, men attempting in mine "skips" to ride down through the flaming levels were dragged back to the surface, their faces blackened. They came to gasp eagerly for fresh air and to tell of the hopelessness of the trip below. The tracks on which the skips run were warped and dis torted with the heat, in ome places even melted away. Flames which started yesterday morning at the 3,000-foot level today had worked up above the 2,480-foot level, A half mile below the earth's surface, working frantically with drills and picks to break through a concrete barrier which long ha sealed the shaft of the Argonaut from the shaft of a neighboring mine, the Kennedy, other miners sought to make a possible channel of escape for their trapped comrades. It was a slim hope. One miner at the mouth of the pit, his face showing pale beneath grime, spoke with the knowledge of a work from the mine drifts when he said: "The boys can't get through that wall in a month." Expert to Enter Shaft. Above the entombed men, one res. cue crew is trying to plumb the depths with air hose. It is not known whether the fresh air which is being pumped down the main shaft is finding its way into the drifts where the men are believed to have taken refuge. A party of seven rescue experts from the state bureau of mine at Berkeley, equipped with gas mask and oxygen tanks have announced their intention of entering the shaft and attempting under thi protection to fight the fire. iSuprrineudent Ga barini declared the miner were on the 4.5IHJ, 4.MHI and 4.(vim) foot level and be wat convinced the fire had not penetrated below the J.OOO-foot Icicl. lie said that effort M combat the blaie had been successful as far down as the 2.7UOfoot levrl. l'e of too much water was thought to b dangerous to the men trapped on the 4 .5'0 in 4,KUUcxit levels, if they still live, (or miner l ite that th tef is rising from th f'atM.iot lesrl and i thought ts r-t nrating the 4,Kmt io. t leiel.
