Federal Chiefs

Mine Concession,

WASHINGTON, April 1G.-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield and John Shelton
Williams, purchasing director of the
railroad administration, will hold an
other conference tomorrow in an effort
to straighten out the disagreement be-
tween the two government agencies
over the question Of relieving the con-
gestion at the mines.
The chief source Of controversy is
the policy Of the railroad administra-
ton IN permitting the railroads to con-
tlnue their pre-war custom of giving
favored treatment in the matter of car
supply to mines from which tlrey buy
coal at low rates. 1t was said in some
quarters tonight that unless an agree
ment was reached the matter probably
would be laid before President Wilson
at to-morrow's meeting Of the War
Cabinet
Mr. Garfield also will confer to-mor-
row with Frank j. Hayes and other
officials of the United Mine Workers.
who arrived here to-day to emphasize
their protests against the situation at
the mines, where thousands of men are
out of work or working only q few days
week.
ms message came to-day to the fuel
adminlstratlon from the Central West
Virginia Operators Association:
Coal car supply in the Fairmount-
C!arksburg region is so very poor that
miners are leaving by the wholesale
rather than face starvation, with but
days work a week. Advices from
various sources indicate large num-
beE of additional miners will leave the
region to-day, after pay day Some
mines will lose their entire force.
This will have disastrous effect upon
production, unless the matter is taken
in hand at once and car supply is i'm
mediatelY increased"

eign Committee, but Does
Not Meet Wilson Test

Ability Recognized
Administration May Back
Lodge and Avoid Senior
ity Clash, 1t Is Rumored
BY c. W. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, April 16. - The pro-
spective succession of Senator Hitch
cock to the craftsmanship of the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
raises the loyalty question, which the
Democrats have promised to make the
Senator Hitchcock does not pass one
of the tests proposed by President
Wilson in his letter to Mr.. Davies.
The Senator introduced an embargo
restriction forbidding the export of
goods of all kinds to belligerent ma
tions. Unless the Administration
makes fight on Mr.. Hitchcock, how
can it raise the issue it proposes to
raise in the coming election?
The Administration has another rea-
son why it would incline to make a
fight on the ranking Democratic men,
Der of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, much more potent reason than
sO1r. Hitchcock's course before this
country entered the war. And that is
ME. Hitchcock's courage and indepen-
dence. He does not obey orders. If
ne should be chosen the charmanship
OF two OF the most important commit
tees would be in the hands of the
two most independent Democrats in the
body-Nilitary Affairs, of which Mr..
Chamberlain is chairman, and Foreign
Relations, of which Mr.. Hitchcock
would be chairman.
Rumors Lodge
May Be Urged
The Administration unquestionably
would like to defeat Mr.. Hitchcock.
But to defeat him in favor of any
other Democrat virtually is impossible,
so strong hold has promotion by
seniority upon the Senators. This Sit
uation has given rise to the report the
Administration would take a radical
step and urge the election of Senator
Lodge, the ranking Republican, as
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations. Mr.: Lodge passes all tests
He was one of the original war men.
If Mr.. Wilson means to rise to the
level of treating issues like this with
out partisanshp, the opportunity is
now before him. To pass over Mr.
Hitchcock in favor of Mr.. Williams.
the next Democrat in order, would be
absurd. Mr.. Williams is plainly not
the man to be chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. More
over, the Senate would never do it.
The Senate might under an appeal
from the President to act without par
tisanship make the ranking Republi-
can, instead of the ranking Democrat,
chairman Of the committee. Seniority
then would not suffer, and the Senate
cares more for seniority than it does
for party. This situation has caused
the talk Of Lodge for chairman. 1t is
only talk and cannot BE traced to the
gates of the White House grounds.
The Hitchcock situation shows the
difficulty of the Administration loyal
ty tests unless they are enforced with
out partisanship. The objection that
will be raised to Mr.. Hitchcock, if the
Administration openly raises one. will
be that he was not sufficiently loyal in
the early months of the great war. The
real objection in the Administration s
mind will be that he has been too loyal
since this country entered the war
