AMERICAN OPERATION
TO BECOME LAW SOON
DISPUTED POINTS AGREED UPON
BY coNGREss-RATE.MAKING
Is CAUSE FOR DISPUTE.
House Gives President Power, While
Senate Would Have Interstate
Commission Fix Tariffs.

Washington.-Senator Pomerene
won a substantial victory in support
of his contention that Federal control
of railroads affords no adequate ex-
cuse for wiping out the Interstate Com
merce Commission when the Conferees
on the railroad bill agreed on Sec
ton which authorizes the President
to initiate changes in rates, but en-
powers the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to investigate such changes
and report on their reasonableness,
the order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to be finally effective. The
conferees also wrote into the bill, at
the suggestion of Senator Pomerene,
provision retaining in the states and
political subdivisions thereof the same
taxing powers they now enjoy, with
the limitation that railroad taxes shall
not be increased except by preserv-
ing the same ratio which railroad
taxes bore in 1917 to the sum total OF
taxes raised. Final agreement was
reached by Conferees on compromise
measure.
Their report will be submitted to
both Houses and Chairmen Smith, in
the Senate, and Sims, in the House,
will ask immediate action. They hope
to place the measure before Presi-
dent Wilson for his signature. With
the exception of limiting Federal con-
troll to Il months after peace is de-
clared, and providing for the taking
over of short line railroads the bill,
as finally agreed upon, is virtually in
the form it passed the Senate. The
principal dispute between the con-
ferees was on rate fixing. Under the
House draft the President was given
complete power to fix rates while the
Senate left the power with the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Failing
to compose their differences the con-
ferees adopted a compromise agree
ment, drafted by Senator Robinson, of
Arkansas, under which the President
is authorized to initiate rates subject
to review by the commission.

PORTION OF STATE
SWEPTBYTORNADO
SECTIONS OF NORTHWESTERN
OHIO VISITED, DOING UNTOLD
DAMAGE TO FARMERS.
The Storm Apparently Started Over
MIddIepolnt, Near Van Vert Ohio,
and Swung Around to the North
east, Striking Many Towns.

western Newspaper Union News servicG
Lima, O.-When daybreak came 1t
fell across a mass of wreckage that
stretched across the greater part Of
Northwestern Ohio, caused by the tor.
nado. AS near as could be estimated,
more than six lives have been lost in
the storm, which started apparently
over Middlepoint, near Van We%
Ohio, and swung around to the porth
east, striking Continental, Findlay ana
swinging back through Leipsic and
Ottawa.
Most of the injured in Van Vert
county were taken to the Van Vert
county hospital, where several opera
tions were performed by the light Of
small electric pocket lights, the city
light plant having been put out OF
commission.
The damage can be estimated only
vaguely, but it is believed to be close
to $1,500,000. This was brought to a
higher figure by the reports from hun
dreds of farmers who had live stock
killed and crops ruined. Elegant farm
homes fell in the path OF the storm,
sharing the same fate as barns and
corn cribs. The velocity of the wind
was so great that 1t carried the wreck

in Van Vert county were made home.
less, and sought refuge at some other
farm home, where the end OF the
storm funnel did not strike. Not until
morning, when few struggling wires
were restored, did the news of the ex-
tent of the storm begin to pour into
Lima.
Lima, fortunately, escaped with only
the slightest end of the tornado, al
though the wind blew down several
high stacks and chimneys, crashed in
windows and unroofed several build
ings. On the Joe Glass farm, two
miles northeast of Miller City, five
members of the family were eating
supper. Glass, his wife, his sons, OLE
yer, %; Albert, 10, and daughter,
Florence, 13, were somersaulted and
hurled 200 feet through an orchard.
The house was destroyed by fire.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Reg for the
getail distribution OF coal for the year
beginning April l were announced by
the United States Fuel Administra-
ton. Coal will be 80 cents cheaper
from April l until September l, the
Fuel Administrator adopting a differ
ent scale from the old one, which pro-
vided a sliding figure of so, 40, 80, 20
and 10 cents a ton less for the months
of April, May, June, July and August.
The Fuel Administration announced
that ihs rules are designed particularly
TO prevent boarding and insure the fill
ing of all domestic needs for next win
ter during the summer months. AL.
though no reduction in the retail
price of bituminous COIL to consumers
was made the Fuel Administration
began announcement of revised prices
for such coal at the mines, the first
made public, showing sharp reductions
in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Mon
tana. Prices for Iowa almost are
completed and those for other states
will be announced as soon as deter
mined. The idea is for a general re-
vision before the beginning of the coal
year on April l.
In explaining the reduction In the
price of anthracite the Administration
said the bulk of this coal is used for
domestic consumption. The 80 cents
reduction was determined on, the
statement said, in lieu of the reduC-
tions heretofore offered voluntarily
by dealers to encourage early buying
for the following winters needs and
which ranged from so cents in April
to 10 cents in August.
While recommending and encourag
ing the buying and storage Of domes-
tic coal as early as possible in order
to insure delivery and assist the rail-
roads by effecting delivery as much
as possible before next winter, the Ad-
ministratiOn says it is determined to
prevent any undue boarding. To that
end the retail distribution plan in
cludes system of reports on deliver
les by retailers, who will be prohib
fted from delivering in excess Of the
normal requirements of the customer.
AS further safeguard, at the dis
cretion of the local Fuel Administra-
tors, each customer ordering coal may
be required to submit a Gel ,iied state
ment giving details Of his require
ments, his supply on hand and the
amount he has ordered from various
dealers. Certitication Of a false state
ment would be made subject to prose
cution under the Lever act, which i'm
poses a fine of $1,000 or two years

RESULT OF SHORTENED HOURS
Is a Reduced Production In Most
Cotton Mills.

Boston, Mass.-The National Indus
trial Conference Board issues the first
of series of reports on an investi-
cation Of the experience of manufac-
lures in several major industries with
different hours of work. The purpose
of this investigation was to determine
what effect, if any, changes in weekly
hours of work had exerted on produc-
ton or on the health of workers. The
present report, which deals with the
cotton manufacturing industry, shows
that, with very few exceptions, reduc'
tions in hours of work in Northern cot
ton mills from So to Sc per week to
55 or 54 have been accompanied by re-
duction in output, usually about pro-
portional to the shortening Of hours.

length. They are laid out so that

every part of the front. Strong points
containing machine guns jut out.
