WASHINGTON, Aug. II Prenldent Harding In an address to Congress
today on the Industrial situation dec-lured that the right of employes and
employers alike to conduct their bus nese must be recognized

Hltuatlon that has arisen and might
grow worse, In our great cities due
to the shortage of anthracite, the
suffering which might arise in the
northwest through failure to meet
winter needs by lake transportation,
all these added to the possibility of
outrageous prjee demands, in spite
of the most zealous voluntary efforts
of the government to restrain them,
make it necessary to ask you to con

I The administration earnestly has

sacrifice brought to the men involved
could be amply compensated for by
the carriers in practical ways. I
believed that the matter of trans
cendent importance was the accept
ance of the proposal to respect the
labor board's decisions on the ques

time of the strike. The public com

To this call a majority of the car-j

to re-employ all strikers except'
those guilty of violence against
workmen or property, to restore; the
striking workmen to their old posi

be settled between the employer and
employes to go to the labor

Music that soothes
the soul
SOFT as summer twilight,, clear as
the notes of a nesting thrush,'
vibrant with tenderness Lucy
Gates' beautiful soprano voice sings ,
"Sleep, Little Baby of Mine," for tm "
month's Columbia all-star program.
It's a crooning, soothing lullaby,
exquisitely rendered, that will be a
welcome addition to the family
collection of old favorites.
"Son o' Mine," by the same artist,
is the feature on the reverse side
a mother song that goes straight to
the heart.
But remember, these are just two
of the new Columbia Records out
today. Read the program over.
There is variety enough for every
taste, music for every mood old
fashioned melodies, sacred selec
tions, instrumental masterpieces of
the great composers, the latest songs,
popular dance music. Each record
is a masterpiece of its kind. Each is
faultlessly reproduced1 to give you
note for note, with velvet-smoothness,
unmarred by scratch or scrape
or other surface sounds.
Tear out the list now. Drop in at
any Columbia Dealer's. He has the
new Columbia Records ready for
you, and will be glad to play all of
them you wish to hear. ;
The Music of the Masters Fortunate Is the person who loves good music. To him Columbia
Symphony Records bring the imperishable music of the ages, whisperings of the great harmonies that
sweep the universe, the joy and peace that live in the secret places of spirit
