Washington, May 27.-By the viva

resolution authorizing n sweeping In
vestigation of conditions preceding and
crs in the Paint Creek region In West
Virginia.
The resolution introduced in somewhat
different form by Senator Kern has been
before the Senate for month, the sub
ject of many bitter attacks and of scores
of speeches of commendation.
Under the resolutions authority, the
Senate through the education and labor
committee will look into charges of ne

the immigration laws, of interference with
the mails and postoffices, and Of VIOLA

PEACE DELEGATES
MUST TAKE ACTION
Grey Impatient at Futile
Delay-Practically an
UItimatum

London, May 2s.-The growing dis
pleasure in diplomatic circles of the
great powers at the attitude Of Greece
and Servia found expression today in
what practically amounts to an ultima
tum which Sir Edward Grey, the British
secretary for foreign affairs, delivered to
the delegates of the belligerents.
The communication made it clear that
enough time has been spent in futile
discussions of the peace settlement and
the moment had arrived for signing the
draft treaty. Despite assertions to the
contrary. the ambassadors were from the
first averse to modification of the draft.
not because of the character of the pro-
posed changes so much as because of
the DELAY which would attend fresh dis
cussions.
Furthermore It was pointed out that
the proposed notifications were useless
N those cases which had been left in the
hands of the powers. Consequently the
b de,e,ates were informed that decision
had been reached and that peace should
Tbe signed,
IT was also intimated that those states
which were prepared to sign should do
. SO and that 1t would serve no purpose
fo, those not prepared to sign TO re-
main longer, thereby intimating that the
,.ecaicjtrants may continue the war
Notified Governments
The servians and Greeks have notified
their home governments OF th1s situa-
ton and are waiting Instructions. The
rurks and Bulgars are ready to sign
and II is not expected that the Montene-
rrins will offer objections
Some of the Balkan delegates express
the opinion that the communication OF
the powers savors more of Intervention
than of mediation. But the real reason

The testimony was given by Thomas W.

panic be accentuated unless the stock
