The two-year appropria tion for thi work wa orrginall et at $105,000. but thi was reduced to $98,850 by the epecial legislative es- ton.

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.
