Government Control of All
Radium Lands Presaged by
First Big Battle in House

The first big battle on the question of
governmental control of the enormously
rich radium-bearinG ore deposits of the
country was fought OH the floor of the
House today, lining up the strength of
the two sides of the question at 11S to
1873 on vote which failed to carry Rep
resentative Taylor's motion to take the
radium bills from the mining committee
and give them to the public lands COM
mittee.
AS the matter now stands, the admin
istration's plan to withdraw from public
entry all lands containing ores which will
produce radium has sp,endtd chance
to pass the House. The two bills on the
subject, one by Representative Foster,
chairman of the committee on mines and
mining, and the other by Representative
Ferris, chairman Of the committee on
public lands, were referred to the COM
mittee on mines and mining in the first
instance.
That committee is in favor of the ad-
ministration views. it is believed, and
with Representative Foster at the head
follow.
Taylor Brings UP Question.
1t is presumed that the committee on
public lands is filed with members
who are opposed to the withdrawal
from public entry of radium-bearing
ore lands Representative Taylor of
Colorado, whose state Is rich in the
minerals in question, brought up the
question at the meeting OF the public
lands committee this morning.
Chairman Ferris thereupon made q
statement to the committee in which he
said that Representative Foster had re-
ouested him to allow the bills to be re-
Ierred to the committee on mines and
mining, inasmuch as Representative Fos-
ter has been working on the subject for
a wear or two and has had many con-
ferences with Secretary Lane of the De-
partment of the Interior.
Representative Taylor, opposed to
withdrawing the lands from public
entry. expressed the opinion that the
matter should be kept in the public
lands committee and that extensive
hearings would have to be held.
