crop here Friday, While he had not
figured out just what hia 3 acres of

string like worm over 12, inches long
that was found that morning by- Mrs.
Wilcox as she'' was preparing cab
bage for cookings This worm, owing
to its color and exceeding attenuation
can be detected only by the closest
scrutiny. It. la said to be' deadly if
it escapes' detection ' and passes pn
in the cooked cabbage. Anyway, it is
a customer that looks altogether un
desirable for consumption, and close

! Interests of the Pablic; r"""
- Washington, Aug. 18. (Associated
Press.) President Harding laid the
whole story of the rail and coal strikes
before the .American ' people today
with a pledge that whatever the cost,
government by law will be sustained.
Summing up before a joint session
of -Senate and House .'his . efforts to
ward industrial peace, the President
asserted that neither, employers nor
employes could' escape responsibility
for the present situation and that no
"small minority"' would be permitted
by "armed lawnessness," i"conspira:
cy," or "barbarity aand butchery" to
override the paramount interests of
the public. '
"We must reassert the doctrine that
in this republic the first obligation
and .the first allegiance of every citizen,-
high or! low, is to his govern
ment," said the, President "No mat
ter wEat clouds may gather, no mat
ter what storms' may ensue, no mat
ter what hardships "may attend or
what sacrifice may be necessary, gov
ernment by law must and will be"' sus.
tained. ' r-f-yff iViy
"Wherefore, I am resolved to use all
the power of. the government to main
tain transportation and to sustain the
right of men 10 wbrk." . '
To Handle Coal Problem.
' To strengthen the hand of the ad
ministration in . dealing with present
and - future coal troubles, Mr. Hard
ing asked for creation of a. national
agency to1 purchase, sell and distrib
ute coal and for creation of a commis
sion to inquire into '"every phase' of
poal production, sale . and ? distribu
tion." t:'. o ,::; Xrn . iy
No similar request i was made for
emergency rail legislation, the Pres
dent , asserting that' although , the
railroad labor board had inadequate
authority, other agencies of the gov
ernment were armed with statutes to
prevent conspiracy against interstate
commerce 'and to, insure safety in
railway operation. ' ',
."It ia my imrpose,- he continued,
to " invoke these . laws, civil and
criminal, against all offenders alike."
' One other legislative enactment, a
law to permit the federal government
to step in and 'pr6tct aliens where
state protection fails was advocated
by the chief, executive as a result of
what he termed the "butchery of hu
man beings wrought in madness" at
Herruv 111.' Despite the protests v of
foreign governments whose nationals
suffered in the Herrtn mine battle.
he sid, federal officials were power
less to taxe in Jhand the situation
created by "the mockery of local in
quiry and the failure of justice in
Illinois."
Members of the senate and house
.relieved ' the pronouncements of the
scne-'rresiueiH witn repeated salvos of
applause, and, the .leaders . of, both'
branches announced -later that
no
his
i time would be lost in putting
legislative recommendations into
effect. Generally the address won ap.
probata i from all elements, in Con
gress, although some democratic mem
bers were inclined to criticise the
chief executives' utterancesas cap
able of a double construction.
