Some members of the House military af fairs committee said today they be lieved Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals would be reported favorably, If he would agree to pay the cost of condemnation of land, overflowed by the construction of dam No. 3, and would modify his contract as de fined by terms of the federal water power act, that a 100-year lease Be substituted for a SO-year provision of the act. Members of the House commit tee and Senate agricultural commit tee stopped here a few hours to day en route to Washington after a three-days inspection of the Muscle Shoal project. Committee members said in event Mr. Ford failed to make the modi fications in his offer they considered it likely that the committee would make recommendations to Congress to make appropriations itself for the completion of Wilson dam, leaving other features of the project in abey ance. Members of the House com mittee, while loath to allow use of their names -in regard to their views as to the best disposition of the plants, wers. frank. -to say that their ideas of Muscle Shoals had been revolutionized by their trip. . "I had always voted against ap propriations for the dam and the nitrate planus." said' an Influential Republican member. "I had thought that Muscle Shoals was nothing but a big graft. J3ut I saw my mistake. It ie something which we cannot af ford not to complete. I believe that in event Ihe Ford offer is not ac ceptable, the government Itself must iinish the dams and operate the plant." This, feeling was echoed by aev eral other members of the party.

Of the idle ones 7,000 went work less by the shut down of the Arling ton mills, announced as due to poxr business conditions, but character ized by unions as in the nature of a lockout. The remainder are strik ers, absentees or persons out of a job because of the closing of plants. The Everett and Methuen com pany mills have had to shut down completely. In the five others the workers present today were so few that only light operation was pos sible. The woolen mills, including those of the American Woolen company, which took no part In the wage reduction announcement, against which the strike was directed, were the only ones operating to any large degree. The strength of the strikers in creased daily since the first walk outs of Monday, was augmented to day on all sides. "At this rate no mills will open Its gates Monday morning," one strike leader said. Officials at the Pacific mills, the largest plant af fected, said they had enough per sona at work to operate for some time, but admittedly on a basis of only about 25 per cent compared with recent operations.

The hush of idleness seemed today to be al ready descending upon tho unionised ooal miners and operators sub-committee on wage contract negotiations abandoned all hope of halting the strike set for April 1 and entrenched themselves for a long struggle over the conference table. Strike notices have been posted In both the bituminous and anthracite fields, Phillip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, announced. Union miners, 669, 000 strong, will lay down their tools at midnight tomorrow when their present working contract with the operators will expire, he said. While expressing a hope tor speedy negotiation of a new contract for the anthracite workers, neither miners nor operators would predict today that such an agreement would be reached before the nation began lo feel the pinch of a coal shortage, "We have been asked to substan tiate our demands for higher wage and we must have time to do so," said labor members of the commit tee ot eight.- - ' ;. '"We are contentto wait until the miners have fully presented their case. Then it will be our turn to come to bat," said the. operators. With these comments they re sumed discussion ot the mass of data on . costs of living, wage Increases, hazards of Industry, mechanical pro duction and market prollts, on which the union men base their nineteen demands. Among them they are stressing the demand for a 20 per cent increase to contract laborers; a minimum of $5.20 a day for un skilled day laborers; the check-off system, by which the mine operator collects the workmen's union dues, and uniform wage scale for machine operators. To these demands the operators thus far have made one answer wages In the anthracite Industry must come down. What percentage of reduction they will demand the operators huve not yet rovealcd. "Wages In other industries have decreased," said S. l. Warrlnor, speaker for the operators. "A cor responding reduction must take place in the mines. Lower costs of living warrant it; tho inability of tho public to buy coal at the pres ent prices demands that it be sold more cheaply. Wo must cut the cost of production; increase the market for coal, provide more steady work for the miner at a re duced scale and thereby help relieve the prevailing industrial situation." Thillip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, has replied that stagnation In the coal industry Is due to waste, methods of production, excessive profits, violation of tho laws of sup ply uud demand in control of mar kets and prices, and that costs of living In the mine areas have ad vanced, while wages remained sta tionary.

Congress and President Harding are not at loggerheads, despite The Impression created by "certain writers and cer tain newspapers," Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, Republican leader declared today in a statement which he said he had prepared for delivery In the House. "Instead ot the President and Con gress being at loggerheads, as these writers and journalists would have the country believe," stated Mr. Mondell, "there" has never been a time in my quarter of a century ex perience In Congress when relatione between the President and Congress, especially the House of Representa tives were more pleasant, cordial, sympathetic harmonious than at the present time. "Anyone who will take the trou ble to read the recommendations ot President Harding to congress from time to time and examine the record of congress from time to time will find that most of these recommen dations have either been written In to law or are in process of later ac tion." Tho Republican leader said he in vited comparison with any period of American history and challenged anyone to find a record of "finer re, latlons or more harmonious co-op r atlonV between the President and congress. There has been a general and substantial accord, he added, not only in matters of primary im portance, but In the consideration of muny questions of policy and detail. Declaring that there seemed to be a "systematic attempt" on the part of various newspapers and writ ers to create the impression that there was friction between the exec utive and Republican congressional leaders, Mr. Mondell asserted tha "the anti-bonus campaign ot certain metropolitan newspaper has given us the finest example we have yet had to the length to which some people are willing to go in a cam paign of misrepresentation.'' KlTorts also are being made, Mr. Mondell declared, to make it appear that there is a wide rift between the president and Republican leaders In Congress over legislation affecting the army and navy. - "I venture the assertion," ' bs stated, "that tha President's . view with regard ts tbe military estab lishment is much more nearly in harmony with the action which ha been taken by the House than it is with the attitude with the .major ity of newspapers and newspaper writers who have assumed to know and promulgate his views."
