Govern ment operation of the Ration's rail roads is the aim of two million or ganize! railroad workers. Secretary Davison of the international associa tion of machinists frankly declared here today in an analysis of the rail road situation. The transportation law gives' the government authority to take over the railroads in case of a strik-j or other emergency, accord ing to Davison. "All railroad workers cf the coun try now are taking a strike vote," he said. "The private managers cf the roads, on their side, are trying to force a strike with the hope of mak ing the government guarantee Its se curities. It's going to be a fight to! the finish. "The union men want the roads under government operation to end economic depression and unemploy ment. H might as well come now as later.-' Government officials today claimed not to be anxious over the possibil ity of a railroad strike. The rail un ions have taken strike votes before without a walkout, they pointed out. The present strike vote, they be lieve, is intended to give union lead ers more authority in negotiations with the roads which ' they hope to bring about.

U. McCLERKIN, Vice-President R. F. PATTERSON, Cashier The state house dome is closed to all visitors. This was the order is sued Tuesday by the board of edu cational lands and funds. The order will disappoint thousands of state fair visitors but the board deems it best to enforce the order at this time, not because of any danger of the structure tumbling down, but merely because of the danger of accidents incident to crowds trying to ascend a winding stairway. To properly care for the visitors it will be necessary to hire an extra man or keep a regu lar janitor on duty at the entrance to the dome and to limit the number of visitors at one tinje to twenty. The board believes this attempt would cause more trouble than the absolute closing of the dome. So it is absolutely closed. It will no long er be possible for visitors to go to the "peak." The opinion of head janitor Beekly that the dome leans toward the sun ny south and the blowing down of a false pillar at the bottom of the dome did not influence the board.

HARDING DE MANDS ORDER IN VIRGINIA PRESIDENT DELIVERS ULTIMA TUM TO STRIKING MINERS TO RETURN HOME. DEMANDS A REDUC TION' OF RAIL RATES Governor of Colorado Asks Execu tives cf Sixteen Western States to Join Him Washington, Aug. 30. President Harding, in a proclamation today commanded all persons engaged in unlawful and insurrectionary pro ceedings" in the West Virgina coal fields to disperse and retire peace fully to their homes before noon on Thursday. Unless there was prompt compli ance the administration let it bo known, martial law would be de clared and Governor Morgan's ap peal for federal troops granted. Meanwhile. IJrigadicr General II. H. Uaiulholtz was ordered back to West Virginia to watch the situation and advise the war department how the proclamation was received. In a report made public yesterday. Gen eral liandholtz expressed the .opinion that the state authorities had made only "feeble attempts." to restore order. The proclamation was issued by the president after conferences with I Secretary Weeks, General Bandholtz i and Major General Harboard. assis- j tant chief of start". A West Virginia; delegation was also in conference with the president and Secretary' Weeks and strongly urged immedi-1 ate despatch of troops. The intimation was given by ad ministration officials that if troops were sent there would be an ade quate force, and that "there would be no child's play. Text of Proclamation The proclamation follows: "Whereas, it is provided in the constitution of the United States that the United State3 shall protect , each state on application of the' legislature, or of the executive,! against domestic violence; and. "Whereas. by the law of the United States in pursuance of the above it is provided that in all cases of insurrection in any state or of" obstruction to the laws thereof, it, shall be lawful for the president to call forth the militia of any other! state or states or to employ such part j of the land and navi.l fores of tho( United States as shall be judged necessary for suppressing such insur rection and caning the laws to be; dulv executed; and, I "Whereas, the legislature of West' Virginia is not now in session, and the executive of said state has made due application to me for such part of the military forces of the United States as may be necessary and ade quate to protect West Virginia and the citizens thereof against domestic violence and to enforce due execu tion of the law?, and. "Whereas, it is required that when ever it may be necessary in the judg ment of the president, to use the mil itary forces of the United States for the purpose aforesaid, he shall forth with, by proclamation command such insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective homes within a limited time; "Now, therefore, I. Warren G. Harding, president of the United States, do hereby make proclamation and I do hereby command all per sons engaged in said unlawful and insurrenctionary proceedings to dis perse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes on or before twelve o'clock noon, the. first day of Sep tember, 1921. and hereafter abandon said combinations and submit them selves to the laws and constituted authority of said state. "And I invoke the aid and co-op eration of all good citizens thereof to uphold the laws and preserve the public peace. "In witness whereof. I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed." While some disquieting reports came today from West Virginia of ficials, there was apparent a feeling among government officials that the people commanded by the president to return to tlu ir homes would do so, and that Thursday noon would see a restoration of order, which would make the presence of troops unneces sary. At the same time, however. there was a firm determination by the administration to meet any seri ous situation that might arise. Denver, Aug. 30. Oliver Shoup, ; governor of Colorado, today directed letters to sixteen western states ask ing them to join with Colorado in efforts to bring about a reduction of railroad rates. Late this week Gover nor Shoup also announced, the trans portation committee of Colorado, named last March to attempt to bring down the cost of living by a reduc tion of railroad rates, will file a com plaint with the interstate commerce commission asking the commission to re?cind its order of August 2U, 1920. which granted the railroads an increase in fares: The petition also asks that the rates in effect prior to August 26, 1920, compel the railroads in case they wish an increase in rates, here after to show that they are "hon estly and efficiently managed." The governor has asked for the governors of the following states to join with Colorado in the petition: Washington, Oregon. California. Ne vada. Idaho. Montana, Utah. Arizon. Texan. Oklahoma. New Mexico. Wy oming, North Dakota. South Dakota. Nebraska and Kansas. In his letters to the governors, the governor of Colorado states the rea sons that compelled him to authorize the proceedings before the interstate commerce commission in the follow ing language: "Transportation charges are so vi tal a factor in the commerce of the country that it does not seem possi-1 bio for a full resumption of normal! businsss to occur unless every impor-j tant industry is enabled to distribute! and market upon transportation! charges which the traffic can pay: and still show a profit. Our position j is that reduced rates will produce in- creased traffic and .should conse-' quently produce increased revemise." j tin THE UNIVERSAL CAR Ford Prices!
