were dangled before Councilmen, were
uicnueneu toeny wncn the unestnut,
street Association met te combat the
proposed conduits en Chestnut street.
The nsnociatlen voted te conduct a
vigorous campaign, net only ngnlnst the
conduits planned by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, but nlse against
the councilmen who gave the company
the use of the street.
Pesters will be prepared and
plastered around the city, setting forth
details of the controversy and naming
the members of Council, who, accord
ing te J. B. Hnines, "double-crossed
the Chestnut Street Association."
Flan Fight te Finish
The association authorized a special
committee te tukc all possible steps te
block the opening of Chestnut street,
under which the Western Union wishcj

Mr. Haines, who Is publicity director
for the Chestnut Street Association,
suggested the use of pesters at a meet
ing in the Adclphin Hetel.
"I knew of no mere forceful wny te
wage war against the politicians he
said.
Elwood B. Chapman, president of
the association, said the conduit laying

virtual monopoly of Chestnut street.
The tubes are larger than ttie company

Washington, Aug. 1C. President
Harding will place the rail strike sit
uation before Congress and before the
country within forty-eight hours, It
wns officially announced today at the
White Heuse. The belief was generally
expressed that the President will appear
before the Senate and Heuse in joint
session Thursday.
The announcement came after the
President bad conferred en the strike
situation with his Cabinet nnd with
lenders in Congress, nnd nfter railroad
unJel labor organizations had made
public their rejection of the President's
last settlement proposal together with
the statement thnt chiefs of the non
striking unions planned te continue
their efforts at mediation of the rail
controversy.
The Administration spokesman, who
mnde known the President's purpose,
declared there was "no grounds for the
Exceutive te stand upon in advancing
any futher preposition" for settlement
of the railroad strike ether than these
which hove already been laid before the
managements nnd representatives of the
workmen new striking.

President's advisers that in hiB state

te the cxiuntry he.viiiake-'n-u(:-gestlens
as te legislation. The 'Ad
ministration spokesman said, however,
that this depended upon the events that
might occur within the brief time be
fore he speaks.
The President wnt said te feel that
it is due te the country and Congress
thnt the exact conditions in the strike
situation the coal ns well ns the rail
rend difficulties should be presented as
he has ascertained them during weeks
of negotiation nnd conference.
He does net consider. It was said,
thnt the step will Interfere with any
pence efforts which may he continued in
ether than governmental quarters, and
he hopes that the renl difficulty may
have at least partially disappeared by
the time he presents his message.
Advisers of the President said today
that he nlse had virtually decided te
inform the railroad executives of the
country that in the operation of trniii.
they would be given the full protection
