"The break-up without results of the conference in London a week and a half ago," he instanced, "was a' definite signal to the grain and cotton markets for lower prices." Dr. Anderson said, too, that he had to emphasize, that we must not erect high protective tariffs. "The most thing," Dr. Anderson stated, "that could come aboutf the thing tlfht would promise most for a real j-evival in the United States, would be a real and vigorous increase in imports to the United States of European manufactures. This would make the circle of trade so vigorous again that with real activity of European factories our mines would work at capacity and the glut of rubber and lother raw materials would disappear."

In Dr. Anderson's scheme Great Britain's debt to America would not necessarily be canceled, but these two creditor nations would get together and take a strong stand towards Continental Europe.

Guatemalan President Reported In Flight Unionists Have Overthrown Government, Mexican Paper Is Informed.

Mexico Cityj Aug. 24. The Unionists in Guatemala have overthrown the Government of President Orellana, and the President is fleeing the country, says a dispatch printed by El Universal Grafico from its correspondent at Tapa-chala, Chiapas, quoting advices received from Guatemala City. The dispatch adds that Julio Ernesto Zelaya has been named Provisional President. Much Unrest Reported.

Recent dispatches have indicated considerable unrest in Guatemala. Ad vices received in Washington August 23 were to the effect that the constitutional guarantees were suspended lastvMonday and martial law declared 'in parts of the country. It was added that the situation was under the control of the Government. The declaration of martial law followed a revolutionary outbreak in a number of small towns, during which there were several assassinations. President Jose Maria Orellana was made Provisional President of Guatemala in December, 1921, and was chosen President of the republic early yi the present year.

He was inaugurated March 19 last. Treat Report With Reserve. Washington, Aug. 24. Reports of the overthrow of the Guatemala Government found no verification in available dispatches in Washington tonight.

At the Guatemala Legation it was said nothing had been received to indicate any overturn of the Administration and available dispatches at the State Der partment "were understood to contain, nothing on the situation. In the absence of more direct reports, officials were incliffed to treat the Mexico City report with reserve. OiEx-A LAW-T9 CONTROL FUEL SITUATION Bill Before Senate Gives Over Distribution And Mine Price. RESOLUTION TO TAKE MINES IS OFFERED Debate Brings Reference To Federal Pit And Rail -Operation. From The Sun Bureau.

Washington, Aug. 24. Control of mine p'rices and distribution of coal during the period of the fuel emergency and complete control of coal transportation by the Interstate Commerce Com-mssion-was proposed to Congress by the President today, and put before the Senate in the form of an Administration bill offered by Senator Cummins, chairman of the Committee on Interstate Commerce. Almost coincident with the introduction of this bill came a serious debate in the Senate of the coal and rail strike and just before adjournment Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, member of the Committee on Education and Labor, offered a joint resolution empowering the Preside-t to take over and operate the coal mines. During the debate there was reference by- several Senators to the possibility of Government operation of the mines, and Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, hinted at Government seizire of the railroads.

Says Situation Has Changed. Senator Lenroot said the situation had materially changed and become more desperate in the last two days and. the time had now come to vote the President authority to take over both the coal mines and the railroads, the President to use such authority "in his discretion and when he thinks it necessary." Senator Cummins in the debate in-ferentially approved of this sweeping suggestion and the temper of the Senate was plainly for drastic action. Senator Cummins and others warned the Senate that the coal question today is the vital problem of the nation, transcending in importance the soldier bonus, the tariff or any other issue. Later he said he was willing to go to any end possible under the Constitution to meet the emergency and would support drastic temporary measures that he could not support as a permanent proposition.

Unionism Basis, Says Nelson. Spiritedly- interrupting Senator Cummins, Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, declared the root of the strike evil today was "unionism," and the Senate might as well face it. Senator Nelson said the Government should throw open all mines to non-union labor, and give them protection, which would obviate the ne cessity of Government operation. The Cummins bill enlarging the embargo and priority order powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission, creating-. Federal Fuel Distributor and providing means for regalating prices at the faines, does not cover control of prices within a State.

The plan of the Administration and Congressional leaders does not touch resale prices, including the margins which wholesalers and retailers may be permitted to charge. Senator Walsh offered his resolution at the end of a stirring debate, which began when he inveighed against the "inaction" of the Administration and Congress in the crisis. Senator, Calder, of New York, had previously spoken of the desperate situa tion in New York city, predicting blood shed in the cities when suffering from colJ begins. I Text Of Resolution.

SEEKS CROWN OF ANCIENT IONIA Sir Basil Zaharoff, Million-aire Arms Maker, Re-ported After Throne HE'LL FINANCE 7 BABY STATE oiiiibier xiiiiuciicc vvci Lloyd George Ascribed To Him In Commons Debate.

Copyright, 1322, by the Xew York World. London, Aug. 24 (Special Cable). Sir Basil Zaharoff, Europe's "mystery reputed to be the wealthiest man in the world 'outside the United States, and recently accused in the House of Commons of exercising a "sinister influence" over Premier Lloyd George, is reported in Rome dispatches tonight to be seeking a crown. Sir Basil, it is reported, is promoting an enterprise to set up an "Ionian State," comprising Smyrna and the ancient Ionian cities, over which he will preside as king.

The Rome dispatches assert that he plans financing the baby state himself with and that he has interested French and British bankers in a scheme whereby they will lend $75,000,000 to the new kingdom, secured by the customs and other securities. Believe Premier Knows It. Italian political circles believe that Lloyd George knows all about the plan and that Smyrna's recent proclamation of an autonomy was a prelude to its fulfillment. The territory embraced in the scheme lies along the Asia Minor shore for 90 miles, and is nowhere more than 30 miles in width. Sir Basil, who was born in Constantinople of a Russian father and Greek mother, made $35,000,000 profits out of the Russian Government contracts during the Russo-Japanese war.

He quickly turned this sum into greater profits and became chairman of the Vickers-Maxim Company in England, and one of the largest shareholders in the French Creu-sot Gun Works. He is said to Ie the largest owner of arms and ammunition woks in the world, not excepting the Krupps and is reputed to be the principal owner of the Monte Carlo concessions. He has. been a lavish giver to charity for many years. livesVin London and has been knighted by King George.

To Recognlie ConstaaHne. Jung Gonstantine of Greece probably "will be recognized by the British Government as soon as the Turco-Greek peate treaty is signed, it was. learned today. It is understood that Constan-tine knows how he stands in this matter, and that the prospect of being received into the small and exclusive circle of European royalty again will greatly influence him to he reasonable in entering into negotiations with the Allies and Turks. It is not expected here that France will extend a recognition simultaneously with Great Britain, but it is believed that Italy will follow later in uch action and that France eventually will have to climb down.

It is admitted here that Constanline has greatly strengthened his titular position since he has remounted the throne by royal marriages already made in his family or contracted for in the Balkans and in Scandinavia largely, so well-informed persons here claim, with the aid of the generous dowry provided by Princess Ariastasia, formerly Mrs. Leeds, of New York.

24. The French Government has definitely agreed to the holding of an allied meeting in Venice to discuss the difficulty between Greece and 'Turkey, it was announced today, in a note replying to a British Government communication of a few days ago. Fraiice has asked Great" Britain to fix a date for the proposed conference. Reprsentatives of Greece and of the Turkish Governments Angora and Constantinople will be invited to attend. Reports of a Turkish Nationalist attack il the Greeks near Smyrna were minimized in official circles today, where" the' view was expressed that it would amount to no more than a sort of maneuver.

Anti-Corset Campaign Launched In Indiana Reformers Organize Society For Purpose Of Obtaining Keces-sary Laws. Indianapolis, Aug. 24 (Special). At the office of the Secretary of State today articles of incorporation were filed by the Anna Lee Anti-Corset Society, with the avowed purpose of obtaining "the passage of the necessary restrictive legislation for the abolition of corsets." No the Anna Lee organization has its way, will it be necessary for the "flapper" to park her corset at a dance, for there will not be any corsets. -The articles of incorporation were made out in Marion county, indicating, it was said, that -Indianapolis is to be headquarters of the drive to eliminate the corset.

Influence Of Miss Frick Seen Back Of Judge Gary's Announcement. Pittsburgh, Aug.

24 (Special). A woman's influence in the councils of the United States Steel Corporation is seen by many in local steel circles as the possible motivating force behind the action of the Steel Corporation in ad vancing wages 20 per cent, and in the granting to subsidiary corporation coal mines, particularly the former non union Connellsville coke region, in creases amounting in some cases to as much as 68 per cent. The feminine influence seen is that of the daughter of the late He.nry C. Frick.

HARD-COAL PARLEY RENEWAL EXPECTED Reopening Of Conference On Request Of Administration Looked For In Philadelphia. CALL MAY COME TODAY Long.Time Agreement With Miners Viewed As Checkmate For President Lewis. By John J.

Leakt, 3b. Philadelphia, Aug. 24 (Special) anthracite strike situation took a brighter turn-tonight when, after a day marked by the free use of telephone and telegraph by peacemakers, it was reported, on seemingly good authority, that the conference of operators and miners, broken up on Wednesday on the insistence of the operators that the way be left open for wage adjustments on April 1 next, will shortly be reconvened at the request of the Administration. Such a call, it was stated, might issue after the meeting of the Cabinet tomorrow, though it may be delayed until the first of the week. Advised To Sign.

This report, which is credited in usually well-informed circles, follows thoroughly substantiated reports that, in addition to possible pressure from Washington, the operators have been the xf impressive advice from big business interests that if they will swallow their pride for the moment and, waiving any adjustment clause, agree to a fixed wage scale to run until April 1, 1924, they will find on April 1 next not only have they been unduly cautious, but that they will have "John. Lewis in a pocket." This advice is based on the theory that the country is now entering upon the period of "secondary inflation" economists predicted would follow a limited period of lowering prices that from now on labor costs will tend to rise, and that "by April 1 labor will in all probability be at a point that will make a fixed level of wages highly desirable from, an operating standpoint. Point To Steel Wagre Advance. To back up this theory they point to the increase of 20 per cent, recently posted by the United States Steel Corporation, which they assert has in recent yeare, at least, led the way in wage changes, and the tendency in other lines to mark wages up because of an increasing demand for common labor. Common labor, they point out, was the first to rise after the depression following the outbreak of hostilities eight years ago, its rise forcing upward the wages of skilled craftsmen.

They further point out Judge Gary was the first to boost wages during the war and post-war periods, just as in now marking up common labor 20 per cent, he is the first of the big employing groups to give tangible recognition of a turn in the tide. This advice, it is believed, runs contrary to the advice given the operators by the New York banking interests which are identified with their properties. Inasmuch as, to quote a local magnate, "they get their advice and their money from the same big store at the southeast corner of Broad and Wall streets that Judge Gary gets his," there is an apparent conflict. This is, however, explainable on the ground that bankers 'hold that steel: having "liquidated" its labor, is, because of improved conditions, in a position to increase Wages, while coal labor is still at the peak of post-war prices, and not in danger of stiff competition from nonunion bituminous mines of West Virginia and the South. Lewij'In Philadelphia.

Mr. Lewis remained at the Bellevue-Stratford today, in conference with Harold S. Houston, of Charleston, and Henry Warrum, of Indianapolis, on legal matters growing out of the troubles in West Virginia. He reported no change in the situation so far as he knew, and said that he had made- nc engagement to meet Senator George Wharton Pepper, who is expected in this city tomorrow fronvMaine. He added, however, that he would be glad to meet with Senator Pepper or any other person who "might be able to make, the operators see the light of reason and abandon the impossible position they have assumed." Fears For Market "Groundless." Hj insisted that the operators' fears of a poor market for coal after April 1 are groundless, holding that it will be impossible for them to make up the deficit in supplies due to the suspension and begin storing stocks much before a year from that date.

5 THREATEN Administration Officials Consider Jt Only Resort If Strike Continues. HARDING WILL ASK POWER OF CONGRESS Final Hope Of Peace Is Placed In Settlement By Group Agreement. By J. F. Essakt, Washington Correspondent of The Sun, Washington, Aug.

24. Eventual operation railroads of the country by the Federal Government is be lieved by high Administration officials to be inevitable unless the shopmen's strike is settled either by a general agreement or is broken by agreements between the strikers individual railroads. Government operation up until today has been referred to always by officials here as a "last resort." It is now being considered, itis known, as the only resort that may be even measurably effective should transportation be further impaired by defective motive power or by an increase in the sporadic strikes of trainmen. Half-War Measnres Fall. President Harding, it can be stated, now realizes that no half measures will protect the country from a transportation breakdown.

He is represented by those who have recently discussed strike conditions with him as having come slowly to the conclusion the railroads and their men do not make peace, the Government will be compelled to intervene to the extent of assuming temporary control of the roads. The President, it is added, is not inclined to take any radical steps in that direction, however, without full authority from Congress. If the worst comes to the worst he will go before Congress once mere 'and ask for full power to take over the railroads and to operate them until adequate transportation is assured. V. Breakdown Disappoints.

The Administration as a whole is bitterly disappointed at the failure tf the New York conferences. The belief had prevailed for days that the brotherhood chiefs would offr a compromise which the railway executives would accept and that the transportation crisis would soon' be past. It is hoped here that the move by the minority of the executives to effect a settlement with their men may prove more successful and that the shopmen strike ma be ended in much th ramp fashion as was the strike of bituminous coal miners, that is, by group agreement. It is felt in Washington that if the men return to work on a few of the roads at once eventually they will return on all the roads, as the miners have Bowone in' practically ail the unionized soft-coal fields. Engine Shortage Looms.

In that connection, one Cabinet official pointed out today, that even though the coal strike has now been virtually ended there is no promise of any great amount of coal in the market and there can be no such promise until the railroads begin operating again at full blast. It is no longer a matter of coal shortage, he but a matter of transportation shortage. He added that while there might be plenty of coal cars in good order, as the railroads claim, there is undoubtedly an increasing shbrtage in locomotives. Secretary Hoover declared, however, that the country obviously was faced "with a shortage of usable freight cars. which may be expected to become acute in about a month, although meanwhiie it was believed a great deal of coal could be moved.

It is no longer argued in official quarters here that the President will be able to deal with the rail strike on a basis of such law as now He had said in his message to Congress that there was ample law on the statute books that might be invoked to break down conspiracies in restraint of interstate commerce. Present Lini Ineffective. He had been advised by Attorney-General Daugherty that the Sherman law might be used effectively even against the strikers, but the President, it is believed, now understands that neither anti-trust laws nor injunctions by Federal courts, nor any other legal processes will drive the strikers back to work. Nor will such processes put a single locomotive in good order. The Sherman law might conceivably have been a powerful weapon in the hands of the President before the-strike began, it is pointed out.

The men might have been restrained from quitting or at least from conspiring to quit, but now they are out and have shown a determination to remain out unites taken back on their own terms. The Interstate Commerce Commission has authority to compel use only of railroad equipment that is in good order, but that body has no power to compel a railroad to repair a single car or a single 'locomotive. To enforce to the letter the Safety Inspection law, it is pointed out, will merely handicap the railroads still further and further break down transportation. President Through With Talk. From what could be gathered today the President will indulge in no threats of drastic action in the future.
