UNITED PRESS lnAsrp wrnn.l

Washington, May 2.-Following the
plea Of former United States Senator
Watson, of West Virginia, that congress
cease its inquiry into the conditions of
the coal districts in that state, Senator
Kern, of Indiana, announced today his
determination in the senate to demand
that the investigation be pushed to the
limit.
Watson, who is coal miner, tele-
graphed that the strike in the Paint
and Cabin creek districts is over, and
that further inquiry would be futile.
Senator Kern, in his speech, declared:
"The strike is not the question.
Peonage is the question. Hunting men
across the hills like escaped convicts
and beasts is the question. We are 60
ing to have an inquiry. propose to
have it shown that when federal experts
investigated conditions last year, whole
pages of their report were suppressed
by the department of commerce and
labor.
"Do you realize that within $50 miles
of the capitol of this nation a drum

has been trying Mother Jones, who
for 40 years has been engaged in hu-
manitarian work, and who is one of the
greatest women in the country9 She is

Interstate Commerce Commissions IS Rul-
ing Upholds Southern iPacific's In
crease in Rental.

That railroad companies cannot make
nominal charge for the use of sites
for warehouses by private parties is the
view held by the interstate commerce
commission, the railroad commission has
ascertained. The railroad commission
was called upon to Investigate com.
plant by shippers along the line of the
Southern Pacific that the company had
increased the annual rental for ware.
house sites from So to $25, the last
named figure being the minimum under
the ruling.
The railroad commission has been
notified that the interstate commerce
commission has held that a nominal
charge, such as $5, is unjust and shows
preference to the shippers having the
lease. 1t is pointed out that one mer'
chant might lease site at little or no
cost, and his competition might there.

Complaint has been made to the rail.
road commission that many of the ship
pers could not afford to pay the in,
creased rental demanded by the South
ern Pacific, and the railroad commission
took the matter up informally, as it
had no Jurisdiction.
The interstate commerce commission q
ruling means that the increase in rent
al has the approval of the commission,
being less discriminatory than $5 rent

All Kinds of Scares,


"Wait until you hear from the mer,
chants, the business interests of the
state" they pleaded with the legisla,
tors.
Army and navy officers are predict
ing that action at this time by the Cal
ifo-uis Legislature might result in grave
eyentualities, according to an advocate
of delay at the capitol today.
That Notifications at San Francisco
have been skctched with in the last
week has been called to the attention
of the legislators, that Japanese SER
wants are quietly disappearing from
many San Francisco homes was pointed
out as another significant feature.
Before the Webb bill was called up
for action an ominous undercurrent has
pervaded the capitol. Although the
progressive leaders declared the bill
would be passed, there was feeling
that more important developments than
have yet appeared were impending
Those who have heretofore been free to
discuss the anti.alien developments
were extremely reticent, when the SEN
ate was called TO order.
Japs Make Suggestions.
Secretary Bryan arrived at the capi.
tol early and remained in his private
office until the senate convened He
did not even leave the building for
breakfast, having it served in his Of
flee.
The senate galleries were again
packed. Among the spectators were
the two Japanese who have attended
the daily sessions, and who were accom-
panied by a score of their countrymen.
A long conference between Bryan
Governor johnson, Attorney.General
Webb and Senator Boynton, admins
train leader, about which the greatest
secrecy was maintained, preceded the
action Of the senate.
A score of kilograms were read to the
senate by the clerk, all but two urging
the adoption of an anti.alien land law.
One from the Japanese Association Of
America urged that careful cOnsidera.
ton by the Legislature of any laws that
might affect the friendly relations be.
tween this country and japan.
Many Of the kilograms were from or.
ganized labor bodies, urging the imme.
date passage of an anti.alien land law.
These came from all parts of the state.
