THE SIX NATION INDIANS WOULD APPEAL T0- HAGUE Attorney For Red Men Severe- ly Criticizes Government's Attitude. Rochester, N.Y., July 17. -- Ac- cording to George P. Decker. at- torney for the Six Nations Indians living on the Grand River lands of Ontario, the Indians do not wish to submit to an internatiosal tribunal their differences with the Canadian government unless a joint committee on arbitration cannot solve their problems. The council of the Six Nations, in a resolution addressed to Charles Stewart, Canadian supsrintendent- general of Indian affairs stated the Canadian government's proposition for submission of grievances to a court of three judges from the su- preme court of Ontarfo, !s unacecept- able. The Six Nations, which includa the Senecas, Cayugas, Monawks, On- ondagas, Oneidas and Tuscaroncras, are ready, according to the resolu- tion, to confer with representatives of the government, but wiil not place their cause entirely in the hands of members of the opposing party. They agree that they will abide by any agreements reached by the joint commission of Indians ani Canad- fans if duly approved on behalf of the British crown with whom their present compact runs. What this commission is unable to settle, the Indians agree to submit to The 'Hague court, provided there will be no question in such submission of the right of the Six Nations to polit- ical independence for all purpose of Home Rule within the Grand River lands.

President Harding Plans Ac- tion to Prevent Complete Coal Famine. Washington, July 17.--President {Harding is so determined to bring [about immediate resumption of full coal production that he will not hesi- tate, if necessary, to take over the {coal mines and operate them, even at ithe risk: of impeachment for acting without express constitutional auth- ority, This was officially disclosed at the white house Saturday on receipt of the formulation of the replies the operators and the miners made to his commission plan of settlement of the 1 mine strike. Both the operators and the miners are highly critical of the president's proposal and unequivocal acceptance of the plan appears to be in doubt. Mr. Harding, however, is troubled with no uncertainty of the course he intends to pursue to prevent a coal famine. He will give the operators and the miners until today to accept a plan providing for the immediate return of the strikers to the mines with arbitration of the wage dispute. If the parties to the controversy fail to comply with the demands of the president, he will have recourse to the power of the government to reopen the closed mines. Mr. Hard- ing believes that the execution pos- sesses the power to take over the mines and proceed to operate them in any well established emergency such as the esisting situation which threat- ens to result in widespread suffering from lack of fuel. Believes He Has Authority, Mr. Harding is of the opinion that the power of the executive is almost limitless when it comes to taking such action in an emergency as is clearly necessary for the protection of the lives and health of the people. If there is any question of the authority of the executive to take such action as seizing the coal mines and co-oper- ating them, the only punishment for exceeding authority would be im- peachment, and in him the country has one prestdent who would not hesitate to run the risk of impeach- ment in the service of the people. Mr. Harding has been assured hy the leaders at the capital! that the necessary legislation could be passed iu a few days, the house being sum- moned back to Washington for the purpose.
