WASHINGTON = Congress is pre-
pairing to attack the coal trust The
senate Interstate commerce COM
mittee Is planning hearings for the
government of the sale, transportation
and distribution of coal during the
war.
To secure speedy action the plan
may be adopted of adding this as an
amendment to the Lever food control

federal trade commission full power
over the coal situation.
The administration is confident of
the early passage Of the food control
legislation. Herbert C. Hoover is to-
day shaping the great distribution
machinery of the country. A patriotic
appeal for a volunteer agreement to
keep the machine functioning properly
until the Lever bill is passed was
made to the producers, middlemen
and consumers as the house and SEN
ate continued to debate the provisions
of the bill.
Senator Reed of Missouri held the
floor in the senate nearly all day. Ac-
cording to the present program the
house will pass the measure tomor-
row. 1t will go to the senate agri-
cultural committee on Monday.

MRS. w. Z. BORAH TELLS OF THE
SPIRIT THAT RULES THE
WEST

Mrs. William E. Borah, wife of Uni
ted States Senator, w. E. Borah, ar
rievd in Moscow last evening from
California for an indefinite visit with
her parents, ex-governor and Mrs.
w. J. Mcconnell. Enroute north Mrs
Borah stopped in Portland few
days with her sister Mrs. Max Leudde-
mann. Senator Borah plans on join
ing Mrs. Borah in Moscow at the close
of the present session of congress for
short stay.
Mrs. Borah tells of the wonderful
work the California women are doing
for the Red Cross. She said:
"They are working for the Red
Cross from early morning until late
at night with all energy and enthus-
lam. Practically all entertaining has
been given up by the California hos
tesses, and some of the wealthiest
| women I know have given up their
home life, and have gone into hospitals
| for regular nursing courses. so that
they will be able to follow their sons
| to the front and care for them and
the sons of other mothers. All the
communities vie with each other in
efforts to give and do the most for
the Red Cross and other organizations
of patriotic benevolence. I have not
been in the east since we have been
in the war SO | know nothing of what
the women there are doing, but I
can surely speak with the highest
praise of the western women's work
and spirit"

Since orders for equipment were
