Basis. (tl aaandAtel rrea.1 f Washington, Aug. 27. The exact scope of the administration's policy In dealing with the rail and coal strikes Id expected to reveal Itself within the next few days as a re sult of preparations for legislative and executive action which appeared tonight to be Bearing completion. Whether the emergency legislation to be definitely urged upon by Con gress will Include a presidential au thorlsatton to take over and operate ran ana coal properties was a ques tion that still remained unanswered, but It was Indicated that administra tion officials, probably would make a final decision on the point In the very near future. In aome quarters It was believed that the proposal to arm the execu tive with these emergency powers would be finally threshed over among the leaders who are with President Harding on his week-end cruise down the Potomac and that a definite an nouncement of policy "would follow the return here of the presidential yacht Mayflower tomorrow morning. Those In the President's confidence said befor he left here for the cruise last night that although he still be lieved Industrial peace would be re stored without a resort to govern ment operation, he was Inclined to feel as a precautionary measure he should bs given full authorisation to act before Congress begins Its con templated recess. In addition to Secretary Hoover and Attorney General Daugherty, two of the cabinet members who have been particularly active In shaping the government's oourse during the strike period; the President was ac companied on the Mayflower by Chairman Cummins of the senate In terstate commerce ' committee, who already has drafted for Introduction In the senate a bill authorising the executive to take ovr and operate any Individual railroad which does not adequately perform Its func tions as a common carrier. Before be went aboard th Mayflower Sen ator Cummins "hd Indicated that his measure and a similar one relating to eoal mines would be formally In troduced early this week. Majority leaders say they are eon' fldent that such legislation oould be passed through both sensts and house. If the President definitely re quested -It but at the same time they concede that congressional approval would be by ne means unanimous. Al though many members In both bodies are demanding that the government take charge of the situation In the most emphatic manner possible, there Is a recognised element of strength ranged against any movement that might approximate a return of the war-time government railroad ad ministration. particular attention was given In congressional circles today to the public statement made last night by Chairman Wlnslow of the bouse In terstate commerce committee, declar Ing that In his opinion the coal fact' finding and distribution bills already pending would serve as a sufficient warning to the Industries Involved, and that more drastic legislation could safely be withheld for the present. It was pointed out slso that President Harding's reoommendatlon for a coal purchasing and selling agency had thus far not even result ed In any effort to bring In bills for carrying it Into effect, and that even the fact-finding and distribution bills proposed had not encountered per feet sailing weather either In senate or house. The senate having laid aside the Borah fact-finding bill entirely until the middle ot the week because ot prolonged attacks upon It the efforts tr deal with the atrlke problem at both ends ot the capltol tomorrow will be oonflned to committee consid eration of the respective distribution bills Introduced by Chairman Cum mins and Chairman Wlnslow, In ths house committee the Wins low bill will be made the subject of a five-hour public hearing at which all persons intereeted will be per mltted to present their views. House leaders plan to cau It up In the house on Tuesday. The aenate committee, with the Cummins distribution measure before It, has adopted no definite program of procedure, but it Is expeoted an effort will be made by some mem bers to delay action and hold hear ings before It votes its approval or disapproval. ( ajkIu4 taaa.) New Tork. Aug. 21. Both Indica tions as to th trend of business snd finance, and opinions as to fall pros pects, hav shown marked' diversity during th past week. Settlement of th soft eoal strlks Is generally ex pected to be reflected In a sharp gain In production, a figure as high as nine million tons a week being men tioned as likely to be realised in the Immediate future. On the other hand it Is pointed out' that the govern ment's scheme of priorities must re main In torce for some time par ticularly until the needs of th north west have been taken care of, so that the steel Industry Is likely to feel the restriction imposed by fuel shortage for some weeks to come. The 20 peT cent lncreass In steel wages meanwhile Is Interpreted as Indicating that steel manufacturers expect to be able to dispose of all their available production this fall: at favorable prices. Whether steel prices will rise materially above pres ent levels, however, remains to be seen, since coal prices have already touched scarcity levels and some ob servers anticipate a decline as the scarcity Is relieved. As far as the railroad strike is concerned, finan cial Quarters hav not entirely aban doned hope of a settlement and do not seem alarmed over the prospects of a finish fight. Car leading statis tics show the roads are continuing to move a volume of freight com paring favorably with the best per formances of the year. On th other hand. It Is recognised that a car shortage during the fall Is Inevitable.

Blair has made a report on Internal revenue collections for th fiscal year ending June 10. Th report Is a preliminary one. but some facta and figures of interest are dis closed. Collections from Incoms and Profits taxes, of course, are not so great as for the previous year. North Carolina la not round among ine weaker sisters In the'report Th In- com from the Income and profits tax Is arlven as 223,172.792.01. Ths mis cellaneous taxes are placed at 189,- 240,687.21, thus bringing the grand total from the state to 1122,412,220.34. But of course th figures all along the line tell a story of deflation. In the District of Columbia alone Is there an Increase shown In th matter of the Income and profits tax. Decreases In such taxes ranged from 17 per cent In Kansas to 62 per cent In South Carolina. Moreover It cost more to collect the taxes and administer the law during the last fiscal year. The difference In the relative cost for the two years. It Is explained, was due mainly to .the very large, reduotion in revenues, which did not, however, permit of a corresponding reduction In the force necessary for their col- lAf-tlnn. - In round number tne receipts irom th innnma and oroflts tax from North Carolina In 1220, was $44,000,000, and In 1921 It was $32,000,000, so the per centage of decrease Is plaoed at forty per cent This la likewise, relatively. a good showing lor tne siaie. .

THERE WILL BE CONTEST IT IS FINALLY PERFECTED kept the senators advised concerning the legislative program, and they were given assurances that the bonus bill would not be taken up last week. Ths Impression widely prevails now that the bill will be brought to a vote the middle of the week, but propon ents ot such, legislation are perhaps feeling less confidence In the ulti mate outcome. A number of polls have been taken of the senate, but all the figures differ to some extent the vote against ranging jfrom 20 to 40 votes, but those who kave Interested themselves In the favorite Indoor pastime about the capltol of sound ing sentiment doubt very much whether all of the senators listed as favorable will go to the lengths of voting to override the President's expeoted veto. All sorts of talk are heard concern Inr the Intentions of the White House. Some think the President will allow the bonus bill to become a law with out hia signature, and that a real veto need not be looked for. But the nrennnderant vlew Is that the Presl dent Is ot the same opinion still, and that he will veto the measure. REVENUE COLLECTIONS OFF OVER A BILLION DOLLARS '. in. AuAriatad Pma.)

" rfse in commodity Bite. Opinion on the matter is, nowever, divided. Those who refuse to sub scribe to this view point out the pres ent Increase In prices Is. due to aD normal situations arising from the strike and that as such, the higher prices sre likely to be temporary. Such critics also emphaalee the tact that certain . commodities, such as rubber, are cheap and are likely to remain so. . In addition, they main tain that with grain prices at ex-lutine- low levels, the farmers' pur chasing power will remain moderate, and conclude that no great Doom is possible, until the farmer oan take part In the movement. They also point to Europe's low purchasing power and the general consumers' re sistance to. high prices. According to this view, tne situa tion Is likely to continue to show a marked Jack of uniformity. Short ages and high prices In some com modities and Industries are expected to exist alongside of Quiet markets and moderate prices.

He Is seen sitting witn xoiaea arms, his handsome, Intellectual face In re pose, his manner debonnalre. Un derneath are printed complete de tails of what the new editor calls "Dublin's latest shocking sensation." Here Is the Incident In brief. It Is a tragedy of the "yellow lane," a peaceful suburb of Dublin, where last evening young people and children were playing. Suddenly from tne city appeared a large open automobile traveling swiftly. Seven or eight men were passengers; some of them seemed to be struggling. Th car stopped a few hundred feet down the lane and a man got out and went to a gate leading to a field. The struggle In th car became violent. Two men were trying to get away but were held and were carried to th gate. They were moaning and protesting.. On was heard by wit nesses to cry out "but what Is It for." They were given a few moments for prayer and then were held against the still pillars of th gat. Their captora drew revolvers and shot them through the head and heart. ' This Is what little Irish children saw yesterday while the nation mourned for Michael Collins. There ar ambushes and sniping, where Innocent civilians, Including woman are wounded and aome killed. Th main fighting In th field is over but the sudden attack on Bantry, southwest of Cork on Friday by force of so-called Irregulars, shows that the revolution Is still in prog ress and that Richard Mulcahy, the new commander In chief, has much to do before It' can be said that peace and order have , been restored throughout Ireland. PEI TO TALKPEACE PLANS They Will Discuss Methods of Ending Strife In the An thracite Region. LEWIS IN PHILADELPHIA i a it. Philadelphia, Aug. 27. Samuel D. Warrtner, president ot th Lehigh Coal and Navigation company and chairman of th anthractta opera tors' policies committee, arrived here tonight from his summer home in Montrose, Pa. Simultaneously It was learned that United States Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania had com from Devon, Pa., to meet th spokes man of th employers to discuss methods ot bringing peace In the. nan-a coai regions. Th meeting plaoe was kept secret and early tonight there seemed little likelihood ot an official statement being Issued before tomorrow, If at all, concerning the matters consid ered. However, It was understood that the question of government selsure of the mines would be dis cussed, although Senator Pepper has been described as opposed to any such action. Meanwhile John L. Lewis and Philip J, Murray, pitesident and vice president, respectively, ot the United Mine Workers, remained In Philadel phia over Sunday and will stay through tomorrow, according to th latter. In some quarters the opti mistic view waa taken that they had tarried because there was a chance of early resumptions of th ne gotiations between operators and miners, broken off abruptly last week when th miners flatly refused to oonslder arbitration In any form. (Br Aawlatei! FnaO Aug. 27. The ownership of the London Times and the policy or Lord Northcllffes leading news papers, were questions which doml nated today's newspapers. Inciden tally, Is was learned that there Is to be a contest over Lord Northcliffe' will and three caveats have been en tered against Its probate. It now de velops that Lord Northcliffe made two wills, one dated March 22, 1919 and another shortly before his death of which the sole executor is Lady Northcliffe. Th admitting of the will to pro bate will end all speculation concern Ing Its contents. There are those who believe that Lord Northcliffe took steps perpetually to dpmlnat thi policies of the Times by aome sort of organisation similar to th Cecil Rhodes trust or ths Rockefeller foundation. It Is generally agreed that If Lord Northcllffe's share In the London Times ars disposed of In open msrket, there will be a soramble Ilk that of 1908 when Harjmsworth by his strategy, barely nosed out Ar thur Pearson as a successor to th Walker Interests who controlled th newspaper for a century. James I Garvin, In the Observer, mention's possible buyers ot th Times, naming Sir John Ellerman th second largest shareholder In the paper, and Lord Rothermer, Viscount Northcllffes brother, who, If con dltlons permitted, would bury ths Times for hit heir, Esmond Harms worth. Garvin also considers Sir William Berry a a prospective buyer. Sir William Is also a power In- Fleet street as the owner of the Sunday Times. Among Garvin's guesses Lord Beaverbrook, owner of ths Ex press, whose development tn recen years ha been comparable with that of the Dally Mall. Three or four other "dark hore" among them for elgn publishers, have been mentioned, but Garvin says that anv attempt by 'outsiders to get control ot th Timet wm fan. The Express assarts that Lord Northcllffa't ettat Is estimated 4,000.000 pounds, of which heavy death duties , must be paid. This will likely compel the trustees dispose of certain of his Interes and therefor It 1 anticipated that oontrol of th Times will ventuajly pass into other hands. . An interesting turn Was taken Lord Northcllffe's affairs by the en terlng ot three caveats against the admission of th will or th grant Ing ot letter of administration th Northcliffe estat. This will pre vent the administration of the tat until th persons entering th caveats have been heard. Appear' ances of ths caveats were made Henry Preues Arnholt, Lord North cliffs' solicitor, and an old frlen and by Sir George Sutton, who was chairman of the Amalgamated Press. Arnhols and Sutton ar (xecutor an trustees of the will dated March 1919.
