Proposal! for government operation of rail and coal properties were put aside, at least for the present, today and ad ministration leaders both In and out of Congress centered their efforts Instead upon less drastic measures to meet the Industrial emergency.' With the return' to Washington of President Harding, after an over. Sunday conference with some of his principal 'advisers on board the yacht Mayflower, It became apparent that no step toward government operation Is to become a part of the present administration program. Not only was it revealed that the President himself was not disposed definitely to aky for congressional authority to take over the properties Involved in the strike situation, but H was made known also that an in fluential group of leaders In the sen ate and house had taken a position which would make passage of the authorising legislation extremely difficult, . , ... 1 '; " Broader Pemn Far L C C .

In the senate committee action was taken . after only a short discussion and ' with , members reserving the right to de bate the measure at length on the .senate floor. The house. committee did not vote Its approval until It had heard arguments for the measure by Secretary Hoover and Interstate Commerce Commissioner Altchlson, . and some sharp criticism of its price fixing potentialities from represents tlves of both employers and labor in the Industry. , Notwithstanding the opposition In Bleated, President Harding was In formed late In the day by Republican Leader Mondell that the distribution ' measure would be brought into the " house tomorrow and passed before Wednesday night. No such quick ac tlon was In prospect In the senate, where the legislative situation was ' mors complicated, but the leaders ; predicted that there would be favor- ; able action without very much de Uy. .. ... ,,, Marina; Coal Ci-ax ( sltaatloa , Several cabinet members, senators nd other oft I via Is, Including Secre tary Hoover, Attoreny General Daugherty and Chairman Cummins of the senate Interstate commerce committee, accompanied President Harding on tha Mayflower trip am . are understood to have taken part la a prolonged round-table discus sion of administration policies. As viewed by the Mayflower con ferees, the coal strike situation, both anthracite and bltuminouus, appeared in a way to solve itself and Insure Increased production In the very near .-, future, leaving the problem of mov ing the product to the consumer as ' (he crux of the whole effort to re store Industrial stability. ' There was an Intimation that a further curtailment of classes of rail road service, such as passenger, ex press and dlspenalble freight traf fic In order to utilise motive power and cars for fuel and food might be one of the steps taken to relieve that ' emergency. In the anthracite field, reports reaching the White. House were so reassuring that It was Indicated an agreement to icsure-reopenlng of the nines was expected .within a very short time. Secretary Davis, who represented President . Harding In discussing settlement projeots with the anthracite miners and operators - In Philadelphia, made a report to the President and although he was not willing to reveal Its nature, Senator Pepper, Republican, Pennsyl vania, who also participated in the Philadelphia conferences, told In.

Little Progress Soldiers' Bonus Senate4 Leaders TOO MUCH TALK Limit of 20 Minutes to Each Senator, However, Will Be come Operative. SOME SHARP OPPOSITION (Br amUM It-Mi) Washington. Aug. M. Senate de bate today on the soldiers' bonus bill centered largely on the land rec lamation amendment offered by Sen ator McNary, Republican, Oregon, but neither that nor any of the other amendments offered came to a vote. The unanimous consent . agreement limiting discussion on amendments to 20 minutes to each senator will be come operative tomorrow and leaders were hopeful that a final vote on the bill Itself could be. had b-sf ore, . ad journment, v ' - In the discussion 'today Senators Wadsyorth. of New York, and Ster ling, of South Dakota, Republicans, voiced their opposition to the bonus, although Senator Sterling supported the reclamation ' project. Senators Nicholson, Republican, Colorado, and Heflln, Democrat, Alabama, sup ported the bill, the former also ar guing in favor o.f the McNary amend ment. Senator Nicholson attacked big business men opposing the bonus, mentioning particularly the United States Steel corporation and the Standard Oil company. He charged that the latter company profited through "unconscionable" prices charged during the war and declared that it 111 became Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of the steel corporation, to oppose adjusted com pensation for the veterans when his company had made "great profits" during the war, . Senator Wadsworth was particu larly vigorous In his attack on the measure. He declared that the bonus could be financed only through taxes now or later and that the American people had reached a limit in the burden they could bear. Also he ar gued that the veterans themselves. their wives and their children would have to work but the harder in' the years to come to pay back the money the former soldiers received, which, he contended, would be insufficient to afford any lasting benefits. In presenting his reclamation amendment, Senator McNary told the senate that It afforded an opportu nity for Congress to do "a great thing In empire building" by reclaiming arid lands In the west and swamp and cut-over lands In the south and east. Ha argued also that It would give opportunity to veterans desiring to get back to the land, to acquire homesteads with government aid and operate to maintain a much needed balance between the rural and urban population. The reclamation plan received the support also of several senators from the west and south and was unop posed In the debate. Senators Rant- dell, Louisiana, and Fletcher, Florida, Democrats, pictured the benefits that would accrue in their states.

PROFITEERING IN COAL Legislation Before Congress Can Only Control Coal Go ing Over State Lines. 8,000,000 TONS THIS WEEK (Br AaediM Fna.1 Washington, Aug. 38. Federal con. trol of coal prices and of distribu tion pf fuel by voluunteer organl satlon stopped today, pending pas sage of emergency . legislation by Congress. Expiration of the fair price agree ments with non-union coal operators effective today was announced by Federal Fuel Distributor 8nan.r who -said the various districts and general committees of the emergency luei orKanizstion win cease to funo tlon next Saturday. The agreement as to srlce re. straint with the non-union on.riinn' Mr. Spencer said, "expires today with the resumption of the union bitu minous mines. About 70 per cent of operators have held to this agreement, and It is felt that the puDiic has Deen saved a very large sum. "Pending the action of Conrreaa and the state authorities, the only restraint uupon prloe Is the sched ule of fair prices declared by govern. ors :or by state coal commissioners In some of the states, to which It Is earnestly hoped the operators and dealers will conform. These prices are about 84.S0 a ton maximum In the Kentucky, Tennessee, West Vir ginia, and Virginia fields, IS. 75 for Pennsylvania, thick vein and 14.76 for thin vein. -Standards have not yet been set In other states. "The legislation before Congress can only control the price of ooal moving over state lines, that Is In Interstate commerce. The price of coal produced and consumed in state, together with the charges which wholesalers and retailers within the state may make, the 1st ter Including even Interstate coal should be controlled by the state authorities. There can be no real cntrol of profiteering unless the state authorities act. Except to the upper lake sections, Mr. Spencer stated, no more coal will be directed to different states under emergency priority orders of class 1, unless a situation arises which warrants such forced mess ures. A new plan for the fuel re lief of the northwest Is in the pro cess of formation by the Interstate Commerce commission and the fuel distribution committee which is to be announced shortly. Rapid resumption of production In tne various bituminous fields, as shown by geological survey estl mates, Mr. Spencer said, indicated production of 1.000,00$ tons this week as compared with 1,400,000 tone last week.

Overman Thinks His People Favor It Vote Hay Come Today, Dtllr Km Bureau ind TrletTaot) nrart. SI Albet Bulldiac S Uf.J win. ' Br W. A. HILDEBRAND. Washington, Aug. 28. The admin istration is slowly but Burely back ing away from the proposal to seise some of the coal mines and railroads. The original Cummins statement un- ! der this head Is now recognised as having been peculiarly Inept, and the reaction from both the Congress and the country has been about what was expected. Gentlemen were today, wondering whether the Iowa senator In what he had to say about the expected gov ernment action, was really reflecting his own or White House sentiments. If President Harding really Intended to do any seising it is supposed that his week-end trip on the Mayflower, a spell on the deep and tranquil waters of the bay, was far more con ducive to a calm, reflective mood. At this critical Juncture the. view wldery prevails that any talk about sett u re of the mines and the railroads would certainly not have the effect of settling any strikes, whatever ef fect the talk might have in other re spects, and it was suggested to the Iowa senator today that he had prob ably succeeded In throwing the fat In the fire. At a meeting of the Inter state Commerce committee Mr. Cum mins is said to have been the single member of the committee who had anything to say In .favor of the Idea of governmental confiscation of any of the mines and railroads. This led to the assumption that the chairman of the committee may have been talk ing for himself rather than for the President. V Overman Doubts Validity. 8enatof Overman, a member of the judiciary committee, is among those who entertain doubts of tha validity of the proposal to seise any of the mine property, In view of the con stitution inhibitions certain to be en countered. One frequently hears It said now that if the government had kept out of. all .these strike .trouble It might have been just as well for the country. For one thing, every time Mr. Hoover says anything about fair prices the price of coal Is marked up about a dollar a ton. A story went the rounds today that Henry Ford had been offered 6,000 tons of coal dally at the rate of 18.50 at the mines In Pennsylvania, but the view prevailed that the large manufactur ers would not pay this, even for emergency coal. Congressman Hammer Inquired In to the ooal situation today In behalf of some of his constituents. Mr. Ham mer was advised that there was lit tle or no coal In sight just now for those who corns In class 6 ths In dust rial plants. Ths North Carolina member was told, however, that there might be soms further information available tomorrow, ' which has led some to think ths administration con templates an Important move very soon, especially In view of the Ford pronouncement. There Is some dls position to make light of Mr. Ford's lamentations. They see in his cry for coal a disposition to pull back for a lew weeks from his peak production, and a move to get back at steel In terests that have begun to mark up prices tor materials.

INADEQUACY OF LEAGUE Prof. Alveres, Before the Interma tlona Law Institute, HecoKutMNi Leamie'a Inadequacy Would . " Leave It for Europe, Grenobtle. France. Aug. 28. (By Associated Press). A new plan for a "world association of states" to link together the league of nations, the Pan-American union and those governments which are members of neither, was submitted today to the Institute of International Law at Its meeting here by Prof. Alejandro Alvarez, of Chile. The plan was presented In the form of a report drafted by Prof. Alvaren for the 27th commission of the Institute which approved It at an executtlve -session held In Paris from July 31 to August 8. The new association would be superimposed upon the present league and Pan-American union and would seek to replace them entirely. It Is designed to meet the American objections to the league of nations with the primary purpose of co-or dinating the states of the world not establishing a superstate. Sixteen fundamental questions were submitted to the Institute's members, comprising many nationali ties.. Forty replies, many of them In elaborate detail were received and studied. The Inadequacy of the present league as a world grouping was frankly recognized as It was deemed wiser to let It remain as a sort of European organisation. The In sufficiency of the league was declar ed to be based largely on the attl tude of the United States, together 1th the absence of Germany and Russia. Other objections urged against the league were that It limits the sover elgnty of its member states, makes admissions and withdrawal too dif ficult and takes 'a too exclusively European view of things. Leave Leaa-ae to Bnrope. While the league has many merits. Its operation, the report finds, has tended rather to separate than to draw Europe and America closer to gether. Europe, it is neia, neeas an International organisation more than America does, for Europe Is less stable polltloallly and there are more rivalries and ambitions. The commission, studying all phases of tha situation, formulated a aeries of baslo principles with whtoh the proposed organization must com ply and then In the light of these, recast Prof. Alvares's Initial plan, evolved the text which was submit ted today. This convention, which consists of 11 articles, creates "a world assoc iation of states which has Its mis sion to establish liaison between the league of nations, the Pan-American union and the states belonging to none of these groups." i "The association," it says, "will consider questions of world or con tinental Interest. It will have as its duties notably to watch over the general Interests of humanity, take measures to eliminate the causes of war, initiate adequate measures for the paoiflc settlements of conflicts between states, strengthen bonds of sll sorts between countries, pro mote universal co-operation and ac complish gradual codification of In ternational law. The association will act only by means of rscom mendatlons." Method of Entering. All members of the league and the Pan-American union would auto matically become members of ths as sociation unless they specifically re fused and the others would be ad missible by two-thirds vots of the assembly. The assembly, which would be the eontrollina- body, would be com posed of not to exceed three dele gates from each country but each delegation would nave oniy one vou.

Motorless' Plane Pilots Thrill Spectators With Uncanny Work in Air PLAY IN THE AIR Hentzen and Hackmack, With Planes Motionless In Air, Carry On Conversation. U. S. GLIDERS ON HAND t Imlsl Callt ts Oillt rm. By HOWARD DIEPKN ICemsM 1931, tr ruiskivM fubii. Udnr.) Berlin, Aug. 88. Though the glider competition In the Rhoen mountains as officially closed, aviators are re maining there to carry out practice Ights. Tha American gilder team Is arriv ing and hopes to achieve better re sults then in France, as it Is gen erally believed the Rhoen district Is more advantageous for soaring. Tha most Interesting and pictur esque event of the entire competition wss the flying of four gliders at the same time on the last day of the con test. Hentsen was up In the air in his final record-breaking flight of three hours. Hackmack was flying for an hour and a half and two others were making half hour flights. At times Hentsen would hang for several minutes above Haokmack and then Hackmack would rise and re main motionless at the side of Hent sen, both conversing from plane to plane. Then the two pilots, who are both former army aviators, began circling, pursuing and racing above and below one another, thrilling the hearts of the spectators, who were mostly ex-service men, experienced nllots. One spectator said he expected to hear at any moment the report or a machine gun.

When crossing a certain section of the country 1 had hard work to keep my balance and prevent my ma chine from descending," he said after landing, "but I soon passed that sec tion. Otherwise, the flying was as easy as anything. I only pitied the poor spectators, craning their necks for three hours while I was enjoying myself un there." His return to the village resembled triumphal march but the record holder's only concern was to find his mother who, he had heard, arrived to watch her son flying. Discussing the events in the ithoen mountains, Hans von der Lofdo, well known aviator. said: The problem of soaring In moun tain,! has been solved. It Is only s matter of physical strength now to stay in the air. longer than three hours and If his record Is broken 1 have no doubt Hentzen will start again to fly still longer. The problem on hand now is soar ing In open country. But that Is In finitely mora difficult, as it is not horizontal winds but vortical air cur rents that keep planes In the air. A good place to carry out trials would be the seaside, where the cool water and hot sand should cause favorable vertical air currents." Forecast By States. Washington, Aug. 28.

Watts had Raleigh agog yesterday when he walked a little more gingerly up snd down ths streets than he did before he went to the hospital and gave an ocular demonstration of his ability to par ticipate In campaigns yet to come. The colonel had no control over -the gossip that he will not run for the revenue commlssionershtp two years hence and that In order to do ' greatest service 'to the administra tion candidate for governor, Mr. ' ' Watts will shortly retire from his office. He has none now anil it will go on In such a way as to make Tennyson's brook and perpetual mo tion ashamed of themselves for their wlshy-washlness. Not a little of this gossip has been propaganda, lawful campaigning. Former Rev enue Collector J. W. Bailey has every day or two to meet tbe declaration '. that he is not going to run in 1924. A good counter would be the retire ment of Mr. Watts. g The dopesters who do not rely on . facts generally known, but work by deduction, set It down thus: The party organ In the east Is against Mr. Watts and probably for Mr. Bailey. That Isn't saluUry. To take a man so vulnerable to the at tacks of the party organ and load down the machine with hm. then to take a rich man and put him on the' other part of that same machine. 1 when the people are financially down nd out. would be more to the lik ing of Mr. Bailey than any situation which he might make for himself. All of which Is by way of ex plaining how Colonel Walks sur prised them last night when he came walking In after weeks of ab-' senoe and by Ins corporesl presence that there lsn t any reason in the world for quitting. Incidentally the Bailey folks affect to be high- ' ly pleased that he will not stop.. They will feel more like fighting a live Watts than a crippled or dead one. If he were out of office as sault on him would be pure wan tonness.
