COMMERCE COURT WILL
LIKELY Be ABOLISHED
Bill Drawn for This Purpose Is
Favorably Reported to
House

WASHINGTON, March pa bill to
abolish the United States commerce
court was favorably reported to the
house today by Representative Sims,
for the majority of the interstate and
foreign commerce committee. A mi
nority report, opposing the contention
that the commerce court is useless and
expensive probably will be submitted
within a few days. This, it is said.
will be signed by all the Republican
members Of the committee and by one
Democrat, Representative Broussard,
of Louisiana.
The measure practically would re-
store matters to the status existing
before the passage of the commerce
court act in June, 1910. 1t would send
the judges now presiding in the COM
merce court to their respective judicial
circuits ami have appeals from inter
state commerce commissions decided
by the district courts. The law would
be changed, however, so as to author
ize the courts to grant temporary in
functions restraining the operation of
the commissions orders only 'in case
where the court entertains great doubt
concerning the validity of the order
and is Of the opinion that irreparable
injury would ensue If suspension is not
granted"
Another change would vest in the
interstate commission exclusive author
ity over all litigation to which it is a
party, relieving the department of JUS
tice of responsibility.

MINERS PLAN TO MAKE
SUSPENSION VERY BRIEF
Stopping Work Tomorrow viii
Be Followed by Immediate
Conferences
tBx Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 3o.-While
100000 anthracite and bituminous miners
prepared to quit work tomorrow at mid
night when their present wage agree
ments expire. the operators and union
officials today took steps to make as
brief as possible the stoppage of coal
production.
The 10000 anthracite miners in Penn
sylvania will step for an indefinite pc
riod but arrangements were completed
today for a re-opening of negotiations
to settle their wage disputes.
The operators and miners conference
will take place in Philadelphia April TO-
A months suspension in the anthracite
mines was believed probable.
The bituminous miners, after an IL
days conference with the operators here
made an agreement which will give them
a slight increase in pay. AS their agree
ment, however, must still be ratified by
the unions policy committee and then
by a referendum vote of the union, a
suspension in the bituminous mines will
begin pending the result of the final
vote.
Reports to the heads of the United
Mine Workers of America indicated the
bituminous wage agreement would be
accepted generally.
1t was said the suspension in all the
mines involved would cause a loss in
coal production TO the country of A.
100000 tons a month and the men will
lose in pay 100000 every day they
remain out.
The advance in pay to the bituminous
miners will amount to more than 49,
100000 a year increase over their present
pay.
The scale gives the men an increase of
cents a ton for the mining of lump
coal and a proportionate increase for all
other kinds of labor.
How long the men are to remain out
and under what conditions the referen-
dunn vote is to be taken are details
left to be decided by the unions policy
committee. The demand of the men for
a five-hour day on Saturday was re-
jected and the settlement of local diff
culties was referred to the local union.
The wage agreement in the central
competitive field which was fixed today
is the basis upon which agreements are
fixed for the other states.
The contracts of the southwestern
field provide that the men shall give
60 days notice before suspending.
The non-union m ners not involved in
Kentucky, Alabama, West Virginia. Cen
trail Pennsylvania and Tennessee are
said to number 100000. In Kentucky
about one-fourth of the miners are
unionized; in West Virginia 5000 union
members make contracts for 10000 work
ers and $4,000 are not unionized. Union
contracts in Wyoming, Montana, Wash
ington and Colorado do not expire on
April 1.

COLUMBUS. Ca, March 3O.-Greek met
Greek over a peanut vender in Column
bus yesterday and as a result the cof-
fers OF the city were enriched in the
sum OF so. For some time something
close akin to a peanut war has been
waging in the city among the foreign ele-
ment, and the climax came when City
Recorder Wynn assessed the above nam
ed fine. allowing Mike Forest and Jim
Oardonas the alternative OF spending 40
days on the changing. Dead rivalry for
business appears to have been the bone
OF contention. This fact was only brought
70 the surface when the recorder pro-
cured the services Of an interpreter to
ferret out the wrangle. Aside from be-
ing out half a hundred dollars. the men,
now marked by numerous scars as re-
suit OF the conflict, appear to be content
both having assured the authorities that
