0ECRETARY BAKER, AS DEFENCE
COUNCIL HEAD, DECLARES
So Is ExoRBITANT.
NoP0wER TO FIX PRICES
SECRETARY OF NAVY DANIELS
WILL BUY FOR GOVERNMENT
AT $3.50 AT MINES.
Western Newspaper. Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, July 2.-Secretary Of
War Baker, as president of the Coun-
Gil Of National Defense, repudiated
Saturday an agreement fixing a tenta-
tive price of SO a ton for bituminous
coal reached at a conference here
Thursday between coal producers, Sec
Rotary Lane, a member of the Defense
Council, members of the councils coal
preparation committee, and the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Neither the council nor its commit
tees, Secretary Baker said in a letter
power to fix prices. He added that
the price of SO at the mines suggested
for bituminous Goa is "exorbitant, un-
Just and oppressive"
Secretary Daniels, another member
of the council, earlier in the day said
the agreement would in no way affect
coal purchases for the navy. The navy,
he said, will continue to buy from the
mines at s2.33 a ton, leaving a price
to be determined after the Federal
Trade Commission has ascertained
production costs.
In his letter to Mr.. Clifford, Mr..
Baker asserted that he believed no
members of the Defense Council dis
agree with him as to the limitations
on the powers of the council and its
committees and as to the effect Of
the action taken. The fact that the
conferences were attended by mem
bers of the council and of the trade
commission, he declared, gave no le-
gality to the agreement.
The price-fixing agreement was
reached after 400 operators called
here by the coal production committee
had adopted resolutions authorizing
their committees to give assent to
such maximum bituminous prices as
might be named by the secretary Of
the interior, the Federal Trade Com
mission and the coal committee.

England, Ireland and the Pope.

In the twelfth century Pope Adrian W, the only Englishman that ever oc- cupied the papai chair, granted the hereditary lordship of Ireland to Henry II Of England. In 1172 Henry II visited Ireland in person, and the clergy and great princes acknowledged his supremacy and he was recognized "Lord of Ireland" In 1177 John, the youngest son of Henry II, was granted this lordship, but his authority was only nominal, and he left the govern ment to John dCource, a member of a celebrated Norman family of Ox- fordshire and Somersetshire, and whose percentage was entirely un- known. In 121O John visited Ireland, but in 1213 resigned the kingdom to the Pope, and for a second time the papal claim to Ireland was formally recorded.
