PRESIDENT .HARDING AT VANCOUVER
Big Military Display Marks th a Visit of the Chief Executive
of the United States as the Guest of
the Dominion.
A despatch from Vancouver says: -
More than 40,000 persons heard Presi-
dent Warren G. Harding deliver a
message of warm friendship and ad-
miration for Canada. Realizing the
significance of the occasion -the first
time a holder of his highoffice has
visited Canada -the reception accord-
ed him along the line of march and
at Stanley Park, where the address
was delivered, was most impressive'in
its enthusiasm. •
The President himself frankly ad-
mitted that the welcome far exceeded
expectations of himself or his party
and declared that he regarded it as a
new assurance that the Dominion of
Canada and the United States will go
along hand-in-hand, side-by-side, to-
ward fulfillment ' of the destinies of
the two great democracies.
The manifestations of welcome were
continuous, beginning Thursday morn-
ing when the naval transport Hender-
son, bearing the president and his
party from Alaska, steamed into Bur-
rard.inlet and received from the Brit-
ish light cruiser Curley a salute of 21
guns, and continuing until 9,30 o'clock
at night when, after attending a state
dinner given by the Governments of
the Dominion and of the Province of
British Columbia, Mr. Harding re-
turned to the Henderson for the over-
night voyage to Seattle. It was a wel-
come bespeaking friendship and cordi-
ality not alone for the man himself,
but for the great nation he repre-
sented..
Declaring that the traditional
friendship existing between Canada
and the United States presents an.
excellent example to other parts of
the world, the President said a signi-
ficant symptom of the growing mutu-
ality of the two countries appeared in
the fact that a voluntary exchange
of residents, whelly'freefrom restric-
tions, has been going on. "Our na-
tural and industrial exigencies have
made it necessary for us, greatly to
our regret to limit immigration. But
there is no quota for Canada. We
gladly welcome all your sturdy, steady
stock who care to come, as a strength-
ening ingredient and influence."
On the historic moment when the
President set foot on Canadian soil
the first gun of the 21 -gun artillery
salute sounded. Escorted by General
Victor Odium, the naval officers and
members of the United States Cabinet,
the Presidentinspected the guard of
honor, which on his arrival presented
arms, while the band struck up "The
Star Spangled Banner."
Some time was taken up with the
inspection, The President showed
keen interest in the officers and men,
many of whom wore numerous medals,
indicating long and splendid service
in the battlefields overseas.
Then the President was ' escorted
back to where Dominion, Provincial
and civic authorities presented official
addresses of welcome, expressing keen
appreciation of the more than a cen-
tury of peace between the two nations,
a keen desire of promoting still more
friendly trade relations and admira-
tion for the nation itself and genuine
cordiality for the men representing
that nation.
CRISIS IN U. S. COAL
MINE NEGOTIATIONS
Operators Refuse All De.
mends of Miners Which
Include Closed Shops.
A despatch from Atlantic City, N.
J., says :-Full recognition of the un-
ion, the check -off and the closed shop,
were demanded of the anthracite op-
erators by John L. Lewis on Thurs-
day, as the price for further discus-
sion of a wage contract that will keep
the hard coal mines open after August
31, when the present contract expires.
The operators declined to submit and
a hasty adjournment was taken in the
hope that overnight one side or the
other will recede from its position.
That either side will recede appears
most doubtful. Mr. Lewis in a form-
al statement, insisting it must be full
recognition, the check -off and the clos-
ed shop, or nothing, while an equally
formal statement by Samuel D. War-
riner, spokesman fdr the operators,
left no doubt they will be as adamant
when the gavel drops on Friday.
This crisis in the negotiations com-
ing at least ten days ahead of time,
does not necessarily mean that the
mines will close August 31. Nearly
five weeks remain in which negotia-
tions may be resumed and the con-
tract completed, ample time for the
intervention by the Harding Ad-
ministration.

movement of Canadian cattle to Great

tions show that since January 1 to

mon fry in the more important
