Washirfgton, May 19. President Harding and his cabinet advisers have embarked on a systematic campaign to, attempt ifi secure through friendly social Intercourse wim big business" the things that would lead to costly litigation and bitter feeling if attempted through the more spectactular and drastic means ef legislation and law. This 'was the frank explanation advanced by the president's advisers to dar for the series of White House tn and SB; SPECtiilill itne wWrta members of his cabinet are holding in Washing ton with leaders in various enterpris es. 'It If a further step, administration snokeamen said, in Mr. Harding's preaching of "the gospel of underil standlnc." to which he referred to fTv1" iarty will wage a hot licit.

'to "wyou, mllht can lt peaceful pane elect Democrats from all offices. I a 1 I tration olf big business by the govern went," one cabinet officer said The president's dinner to forty one steel magnates at the White House last night, resulting in an informal understanding being reached for the eight hour day In the steel industry, was one notable step in "the general plan, It was aaid. The conference between Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and the producing non union coal operators, resulting in an informal agreement to hold coal prices at their normal levels despite the nation wide strike, was another. Tomorrow night the third step will be taken at the White House at another dinner. President Harding will entertain a score of leading railroad presidents and directors, and to them he will address an appeal for co oDeratlon in a drive to decrease freight rates.

Almost daily" now the interstate commerce commission is expected to hand down 4j long awaited decision, ordering a general and substantial reduction of rates. That a reduction of rates is imminent is known, but the extent to which they are to be lowered Is a' carefully guarded secret. It is reliably reported, however that the cuts re' not to be so drastic as are expected in some quarters. The president, it is understood will ask the railway executives to co operate loyally with the government in maintaining the reduced rates, and to even go' a step further tf (he reductions fall short of expectations, it is believed he will ask the railroad heads to voluntarily make such reductions as they can. High freight rates have been the most consistently advanced cause for the general business "depression." It has been further felt by President Harding and his advisers that a "restoration of confidence" In the basic industries of the United States Is necessary before there can be any return to the general prosperity so often referred to.

The basic Industries of the United States are steel, transportation and coal. Thus, in a single week, the administration has had the leaders of all these three great key Industries in Washington for conferences and the conferences have been made the vehicle for remedial suggestions, both on the part of business and the government. That there Is a political aspect 'to the administration's program Is not denied. It is realized that one of the chief campaign arguments to be used by the Democrats in this fall's congressional campaign is "bad times." Therefore, Republican candidates and spokesmen everywhere are going to ibear heavily In coming months on the general theme that the depression Is ended and that the famous "general prosperity" Is standing on the country's threshhold. President Harding himself sounded this Optimistic note" Iri addressing the thousands of business men attending tfce, convention of the Chamber of fammerce of the United' States here we are soon to resume our onward wajb Undoubtedly there is more than similar sentiments in' their addresses to the business leaders here this week.

Republican spokesmen also will use the ptomised abolition of the twelve hour shift in the eteel industry as a campaign argument to labor. I.Tlr American Federation of Labor has fought for years to secure the aoo)1on of this long shift. It was one the announced causes of the Democratic State Head (By International News Bervlfo.)

Whenever the family has anything ood to eat, or is going to share some other joy, she thinks that her "teacher" should share In it. One evening "daddy" came home and told about the condition of a friend who was critically ill, and that the had been there to give the cousin a hypodermic Catherine took this all in, and then In her childish faith that anything "given" must be good, she asked: Daddy, can't the doctor give teacher one, too?" my COMMISSIONERS REJECT HNT1 The county commissioners, in special session Friday, signed twenty $630 'bonds, totaling $12,600 tor the fxlddy. road In Jefferson township; twenty $210 bonds totaling $4,200 for the Prlddy road in Salamonle township and twenty $585 bonds totaling $11, 700 for the McHenry The commissioners Inspected a carload of brick for' the new Jail, refusing to accept many brick that were darker than those ordered.

Edison, the world's electrical genius, appeared before a secret night session of the senatorial agricultural inquiry committee and recommended establishment by congress of a titanic government warehouse system for solving the nation wide agricultural depression, it was learned by the Internationa Nws Service today. The plan which Edison urged congress to adoDt would give American farmers almost a monopoKstic'con trol over the price of their productsTthrough operation of a "full year" storage provision.

Edison urged passage of the proposed legislation "as soon as possible" in order to give the farmers relief before the next crop is reaped. DROUGHT BACK Frank Firth, of Fort Wayne, conr vlcted here last month on a charge of vehicle taking, who waB released on bis own recognizance pending decision ok a 'pfltttiQn, (or luipsqslpn of tks sentence, was brought to this city Friday afternoon from Akron, Ohio, by Roy Garber, deputy sheriff named to make th.txip. Immediately after his arrival Firth asked for his attorney, Fred H. Bowers, and they went Into conference. Firth claims that he went directly from Huntington to Akron, Ohio, where he got work as an electrician, and that he has not been in Fort Wayne since he was released here.

He says this would make it impossible (for him to "disappear" from that city. Fort Wayne authorities are anxious that Firth should not be released on a suspended sentence, declaring he is a "bad egg," and was the head of a gang which tole automobiles and committed hold ups. FALK CASE TAKEN Word from Rochester Friday after noon was to the effect that Jacob A (Klondike) Falk, charged with petit larceny In the city court there, had stood trial and that the mayor, who heard evidence against him. had taken the rase umfter adv'Jsement.

Denouncing Farrington for his alleged delay in end ins; the seven weeks old strike, the Illinois Coal Operators' association in an open letter asked what you propose to do about it" RANK FIRTH nnrnATfino orim uruiHiuno ocuu 3 to hi nnru unit COMMITTEE The wonder man of the century made a rush visit to the national capital laBt night and appeared be fore th committee for two hours In executive session. Edison came to Washington "as a favor to the committee" his secretary informed International News Service. The warehouse system, which Edison recommended, appealed tremend ously to the senators.

He was frequently interrupted during the session by his deeply interested auditors for additional details. Edison proposed that the warehouse would be used as the basis of farm credits under "could get a fair return on their products." He specifically urged that the farmers be given permission by the government to sfbTe their products for a full year "If necessary" in order, to Insure the fair return. This suggestion, senators believed, would give the farmers practical price fixing power over their own products, inasmuch as they could wait for a favorable market In which to sell. Edison discussed at great length potential legislation to put his plan into effect. The committee members explained to the famous inventor that there were seven bills pending berore them, some oK which were modelled along the lines laid down in his suggestion.

One measure, sponsored by Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, contained the warehouse provision but did not extend the "fulr year" storage privilege. Edison was Informed his suggestion would be taken under serious consideration in the framing of future legislation. Although stressing the warehouse credit system as the most advantageous, Edison offered two other means of relieving agricultural He approved direct financial aid by the government to the farmers and also suggested the establishment of livestock credits through federal reserve banks. Both of these measures would be in addition to the warehouse credit plan. Under the latter plan.

Edison explained, the. farmer would be offered government storage for his cotton and grain crops. The government would then issue certificates of credit against the crops stored In its warehouses. Armed with these certificates, the farmers' financial difficulties would be solved through his ability to borrow at any national bank. In explaining this plan Edison said: "The warehouse credit system would provide adequate credit facilities so that the farmer will not need to dump his crops on the market until he can receive a fair price for them." The effect of this suggestion, it was indicated by senators attending (Continued on Page Three.) F.
