REPORTED FAV0RABLY
House Committee Amendment Limits
Rights Under Leases to
Mining Only.

Early action on the administration bill
for the development Of Alaska's vas,
coal resources was forecasted today wher
the House public lands committee sub
mitted the measure with favorable re-
port. A committee amendment would
limit rights under proposed leases te
mining only, reserving all surface rights
to the government.
Drafted after exhaustive hearings and
many conferences between Chairman
Ferris and other members Of the commit
tee with Secretary Lane Of the Interior
Departments the bill would provide that
Alaskan coal lands be leased in blocks
Of from 40 to 2.56O acres, for not more
than twenty years, resulting royalties
and rentals to go into fund for Alaskan
development
Fines and imprisonment would be i'm
posed upon any one found controlling
more than the maximum number OF
acres. royalty Of 8 cents per tor
would be charged for all coal mined

acre per month for the first year, 81
cents an acre per month for the SECOND
year and succeeding years up to i've
and $11 a year for the remainder OF
the twenty-year period.
The government would reserve for 1T
own use 5.120 acres in the Behring ant
1850 acres in the Matanuska field. The
purpose is to develop these lands as {
source Of fuel supply for the navy. and
II necessary, to restrain private
monopoly.

INDIVIDUAL TOWELS SOUGHT.
New England Woman Wants Con-
gress to Provide for Schools.

Congress has been asked to find time to
get an individual towel for every boy or
girl who attends the public schools of
the District.
Representative Rogers Of Massachusetts,
the great crusader for the germless drink
ing cup and the antiseptic toothpick, has
been asked by New England woman to
get Congress to appropriate for the
towels. She is Ellen A. Vinton, chair
man of the educational committee of
collegiate alumnae. In a letter to Rep
resentative Rogers she informs him that
she has taken up the towel fight with
Henry p. Blair, president Of the board of
education of. the District of Columbia,
who was born in New Hampshire.
But he has been away from New
England SO long that he has forgotten
that germs are outlawed."
The aiumnae chairman also makes this
statement about the towelless school:
.'In one building in Washington one
towel is all that is provided for the girls
of eight rooms. Think Of the number
less colonies of malign germs on that
towel!'

Farm to Flat.
rom the st. Louis Republic.

The most dangerous attack launched at
the st. Louis middleman. who. justly or
unjustly, Is accused of causing much of
the high cost OF living, turks in the an
nouncement that a great mutual mar
ket" Is to be erected In the center of the
West End residential district, at Sarah
and Laclede.
The farmers of st. Louis county pro-
pose to sell their produce directly to the
ultimate consumer. This will doubtless
mark the return of favor of the market
nent craftsmanship. The new market will
aid the Consumers League and the House
wives League in their fight against the
use of the telephone by housekeepcrs. 1t
may eventually bring about the renewal
Of acquaintance between the housewife
and her grocer.
Such markets are practical. In Dayton,
Ohio, market stalls on the principal
streets are auctioned off yearly to farm
ers. Clean-llpped but chin whiskered Dun
kard farmers, with their black-bonneted
wives, sell every farm product. from ham
to hickory nuts, direct to the friendly
crowds OF buyers who block the side
walks on three market days a week.
The need for such markets has been
felt in ST. Louis. When the proposed
general bond issue was first suggested
several councilmen declared themselves
in favor of three big market places,
built by the city and leased to farmers
and gardeners.

CITES JACK POT
LEGISLATION FUND
S. R. Greeley Argues for Fed
eral Laws for Wheat Mar
ket Transactions.

To support his charge that the Chi
an, alleged trust of warehousemen,
Samuel H. Greeley told the House
rules committee today that a four
thousand-dollar jack pot fund had been
raised among its members last year
to get legislation at Springfield to
legalize dealing in puts and calls.
Greeley named two members of the
board who had admitted, he declared,
having participated in collecting the
fund.
He declared his belief that the board
had been forced to throw open its
doors to this s5 and $40 bet game and
to seek its legalization because the
warehousemen so controlled and man.
ipuiated the future and cash markets
by their possession of stored grain
that legitimate dealing was inhibited,
and floor traders driven to put and call
operations ito make living"
Tells of "Strong-Arm" Squad.
Greeley said one of the things that
had led him to Washington to plead
for federal laws governing wheat mar
ket transactions was what he had seen
at recent farmers conventions at Sioux
Falls and Fargo, n. D.
Secretary McHugh of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. he said. led "a
gang of strong arm mem in attempts
to get possession of the conven tions
| and shut off discussion of the opera
tons Of the wheat pits and public
storage men. Riots had resulted, he
said, which the police were called to
quell.
Estimating the depreciation in prices
resulting from the manipulation of the
| cash wheat quotations. Greeley said it
had averaged three hundred million dol
lars year. From 10 to 25 cents had
been taken from the legitimate price
OF every bushel of wheat, corn or oats,
/ ne said. during the twenty years the
alleged monopoly had been in control.
Says Industry Is Interstate.
Greeley likened the grain situation to
the tobacco monopoly in Kentucky, which
drew the statement from Representative
Cantrill Of the committee that state laws
had ended the tobacco combine He asked
If this could not be done in Illinois. Gree
ley said no relief had been obtained from
the legislature or courts in Illinois in
twenty years of effort, and that as many
OF the 2OO.OOO farmers for whom he spoke
were residents of other states, vet at
the mercy of the Chicago Board of Trade
price regulation, the industry actually
was interstate in character. He concluded
with an appeal for no-partisan considera-
ton of the problem.
Representative Manahan said he would
call farmers from Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota and Minnesota before fin
ishlng the argument for his resolution
