PI DAMAGES HUSK ( Y) YOUNGSTER By BILLY BORNE OF WESTERN NORTH AWAIT BRITISH VIEW PO No Reply Yet Received to Note From State Depart . ment in Matter. ENGLISH TAKING DIPLOMATIC STEPS Rum Running From Ba hamas or Bermudas Easy With English Complaisant WASHINGTON, July 24. (By The Associated Press) Tho State Department waa without an official word today aa to the British atti tude in connection with suggestions maue py the American government to the British authorities for co operative British measures to curb liquor running from British insular possessions Into the United States. Pending receipt of the official com munication from the London for eign office, comment was refused st the depsrtment on the nature of the American note, although no attempt waa made to conceal the fart that diplomatic steps had been taken with a view to aiding Fed eral prohibition enforcement offi cers of the United States. The' proposal of the American government. Judging by statements made In London, apparently goes beyond the mere question of when foreign ships shall be subject to visit and search on their approach to American waters. While the ex act nature of the communication sent to London was not revealed, it waa recalled that Commissioner Haynes, of the prohibition enforce ment office, some weeks ago sub mitted to Secretary Hughes a memorandum pointing out the great difficulties he had encount ered because liquor smugglers were able to use Bermuda or the Bahamas as a base without inter ference from British authorities. It Is understood Mr. Haynes sug gested that the British government, be asked to lend Its aid in stamping out thia smuggling traffic, not up on the basis of any specific agree ment of any treaty between the two countries but under the general principle of the comity of nations which is the basis of all such Inter national agreements.,, f Mr. Haynes Is understood to have painted out in his communi cation to Secretary Hughes that the British authorities could easily put a check on shipments of liquor destined for this country by close supervision of clearance papers for vessels leaving British ports. Presumably it la this view that It has been communicated by the Washington . government to the tundon authorities and. eyhtehthe London advises refer In saying that the Brlttsh authorities had sought information as to alleged "false clearance" granted at Bermuda or alsewHere. , So far aa the right of search of foreign vessels beyond the three mile, limit was concerned. It waa pointed out here that the matter was now before the courts in the case ' 0t the schooner Marshall, which was seszed aa a liquor run ner beyond the limits of territorial waters.

(By The Associated Press) While on the surface concrete developments in the railroad strike were iscsin in Waahimrton today, the Impres sion gained in official circles was that the situation was neing ri.iu ly 'shaken down" to a point where a new move bv tns ioraipau" could be expected. , Cabinet members who discussed the sltuatijn invariably declared that President Harding was In psr sonal charge of th question and, though there was more than the belief, that the cabinet would bo called upon to lonslder It at ths raa-ular jeaslen tomorrow,-no hint waa forthcoming aa to the manner in whU'h tha transportation " cTIsli would be hvld before the I'rcsldent'a official amliy. - . Put-thai- evidence was obtained, however, that some of the chief executive's advisers have urged ths government can permit the break down of the country's arteries of commerce to go on further, while waiting for the railroad manage ments and shopmen to dispose of their differences, : Olfiplt-l reports have been re eolved it is known, giving details of the extent to which tne striito has bet.n responsible for the al most "total blanketing , of the healthy ' business rsvivai in the United Slates, and while instances of direct interference with the United Mates malls have recently. be"on conspicuously absent, postal Inspector today recorded tne iur ther annulment of important mall trains. Some Advisers Favor Hiu.tlc Blove - .Home administration advisers who favor a drastlo movs by the government are known to hold tho view thai President Harding should demand that the railroad execu Hvbs make every effort to restore Interstate commerce, especially to -the extent of abandoning their stand on the seniority issue said to 1 e th . crux! of the whole strike question whereupon the disput ants would be expected to come to gether on the matter of a fair liv ing wags for railroad employes. conceded to be the remaining im portant issue. - If tho railroad executives re fused, it was .declared, the Presi dent, satisfied he has full author ity and a duty delegated him by constitution to maintain Interstate eommerce and the mail service, could proceed to operate the rail roads. While the Esch-Cummlngt act would be Invoked for the pur. pose as fsr as that would apply, it was said, the President's main reliance would be the duty "en trusted' to the chief executive un der the constitution. The President, It is understood, has been assured by his advisers, that his authority for decisive act Ion, without recourse to Congress la without - question. Two courses would be open to him In order phy sically to operate the railroads, it waa said. First, he could request the strikers to return to work un der government operation at the old wage scale and with seniority rights restored. If this failed, the federal troops could bs called up on to assure operation of the trains. The first course, the President Is understood to believe would be acceptable to the strikers, who would see In It the capitulation of the railroad executives and a vic tory won for labor. The chief con tention of the strikers, It was said, has developed Into a fight for seniority, with the wage dispute becoming subordinate. There is little disposition In gov ernment circles to consider meet ing the emergency by actually put ting the lines under government operation. NEGOTIATIONS ON ONE LINE VOR SEPARATE PEACE CHICAGO.
