today.
Heal beer ice cold alcoholic and
frothy was sold In saloons and ho-
tels at ten cents a glass under or-
ders of .Mayor Joseph Cauffiel ' who
declared city water unfit to drink.
Believing the mayor's order too
good to lust long hundreds of hap-
py natives rushed to the bars be-
fore breakfast to quench a sudden
thirst.
Many workers after having drunk
their breakfast declared a holiday
nnd made the. rounds as In the days
of yore. "Here's how!" echoed from
saloons which were jammed to the
swinging doors.
BrewerieB upon receipt of the
mayor's order that they save the
health of the community immediate-
ly put their brew-making machinery
into action.
Sale of moonshine liquor was
banned.
Overnight Johnstown became prob-
ably the wettest city In the country.
Slate and federal prohibition officials
have not yet announced their stanu
on the mayor'B constitution-defying
proceerture. H
The mayor's action was decided
upon when he turned on the faucet
in his home and picked several
worms and bugs from the water.
His honor issued the following
jnanifesto:
"Owing to the dangerous condi-
tion of the water supply of Johns-
town every person who complies
with the law can sell real beer not
near-beer but real beer and ale.
"As long as they don't sell moon-
Shine or any other adulterated bev-
erage they won't be molested by me.
"The hotel men have agreed to
give their assistance in running
down all the bootleggers and moon-
li innra til the district.
"I don't see how the federal auth-
orities can interfere with the brew-
pries in this district if they try to
fcive the public real beer when our
water Biipply is m sucu uuu w-

...
I'mler terms of the special ununl-
mous consent agreement adopted
last Saturday the senate at four
o'clock must start voting on the
measure without further debate.
That the bill would ho passed by
a fair bImm! margin wus conceded bym ur understood to have
even tho staunchest democratic op
poncnts as they prepared the final
but apparently futile onslaught
against the few pending amendments.
Republican leaders declared they
would not lose more than three or
four of their number ut tho most.
On the other hand it was believed
this margin mlRht be off-set by a
revolt of a like number of demo-
crats who frequently huvo voted
with republicans on the major sched-
ules of the bill.
Tho bill is almost a complete re-
vision of the measure as passed hy
tho house. In tho majority of In-
stances the duties have been in-
creased over the rates adopted in 1
the lower chamber. This is rue
of the basic commodities such as
wool sugar cotton steel chemicals
democrats said.
New furs were inserted by the
senate. The foremost was to grant
the executive broad powers to change
rates If after investigation by the
tariff commission he finds that the
difference in the costs of production
hero and abroad warrant a change.
Another was the establishment of
a free trade zone at. the large ports
of entry in the United States where
raw materials can he manufactured
and shipped out without payments
of customs. This does away with
the bonded warehouse system.
The hill will be sent to conference
Immediately. With 2078 amend-
ments to iron out the conferees are
not expected to report buck for
more than a month.

PEACE PROPOS
UP TO STRIKERS
Peace Seen In Shopmen's Strike;
Both Sidet Look Over Plan;
Understood to Be "Honor-
able" Out for All Parties.
(Ily Th t'nilMt Vrr.)
New York Aug. 19.--Settlement of
the rullroad shopmens strike Is In
sight today.
Tentative proposals Including a
compromise on iho seniority ipies'
heen dniwn up ut tl looting of
rullroad executive ami brotherhood
chiefs late yesterday were submitted
to Bert M. Jnwell representative of
the strikers here lust night.
The proposals will bo put before
a full miH-ting of the railroad execu-
tives next week. After both aides
have gone over them their accept-
ance or rejection will be laid be-
fore tlm joint committee of execu-
tives and brotherhood chiefs.
Under the plan reported evolved
tho men would return to work under
a gentlemen's ugreonveut by. the car-
riers that the senlmity question
would be handled in a manner fair
10 ;e mrikcrs. The strikers would
return at tho reduced pay ordered
by the United Stutes railroad labor
board which precipitated the strike.
The board however would be ap-
pealed to and the mntter of wage
adjustment would be reopened.
Thus neither side will win a
clean-cut victory hut the strike in
all probability be settled in a way
considered "honorable" to both sides.
The carriers' committee in a state-
ment issued after the adjournment
declared that certain proposals had
been made by the brotherhood chiefs
headed by Warren S. Stono of the
engineers and that t ho conference
was ended pending consideration of
the proposals by the entire mem-
bership of the railroad executives
organization.
Although Stone refused to divulge
the plan of settlement he offered
the carriers ho said the "strike must
bo settled right hero during these
conferences."

tiou oil "Homo of Iho legislative pro-

to cope Willi tho strike situation was
promised In the house today by Rep-
resentative Mondell licpiililli un floor

Mirrhnse huge unioiiiits of coal In

position to such action continued in
both house throughout tlm day.
A full report on the negotiation In
New York looking toward a settle-
ment of the rail strike was given Mr
Harding by A. P. Thorn generul
counsel of tho railway executives but
he declined to make any comment
on the situation.
The president gave his approval to
Senator Borah's bill creating a com-
mission to Investigate the coal in-
dustryone of tho executives recom-
mendutlons to congress yesterduy.
President Harding today notified
Senator Borah of his acceptance ot
Borah's coal commission bill aa curry-
Ing out his recommendation to con-
gress yesterday for such legislation.
Mr Harding said he wished to dis
cuss with Boruh umrndiiiont to Iho
bill relating to the size and personnel
of the comnllssion.
Tho two probably will confer on the'
question next week.
Borah's bill creates n commission
of three one selected by tho Na-
tional Coal Association a second by
the United Minn Workers and a third
representing tho nubile the public
member to be in no way interested
In the coal business.
The commission is to exist for a
yeur only unless congress otherwise
orders.
Tho commission is Instructed by
the bill to report to congress tlm
ownership and title ot coal mines
the cost of production profits dur-
ing the last ten years labor costs
wages paid Irregular production and
to suggest remedies for irregtiglurity
of production.
One Request Denied
Washington Aug. 19. Connres to.
duy was disposed to deny President
Harding's request in his strike mes-
sage for a government coal agency
to buy sell and distribiito coal in
Interstate commerce.
Powerful interests that have always
opposed any step which appears
likely to be a fore-runner of govern-
ment control and operation indi-
cated that the president's suggestion
would be fought. .
Congress according to a careful
survey will approve the other recom
mendations ot tho president. These
include a coal commission to make
a complete investigation ot the in-
dustry in the hope ot finding a per-
manent' solution for the recurring
mine strikes and legislation giving
the federal government the right to
step in and punish those responsible
for such outbreaks as the recent ller-
rin Ills. massacre by authorizing
federal courts to protect the treaty
rights of aliens. Two Mexicans were
said to have been killed at Herrin.
