Bolshevist Propaganda.
Calls Terrorists Enemies.

BERLIN, Saturday, March ] (hy the
Associated Press).-That the bolshe-
visits have succeeded in their propa-
ganda for soviet rule is amply evi
denced by the governments indecislon
with respect to the plan to incorporate
the ideas of the soldiers and work
mems organization in the constltu'
ton There is further evidence that
Hugo Haase's party-the independent
socialists preparing to make com
mon cause with the Spartacans in an
effort to overthrow the Scheidemann
cabinet by launching general strike
with the purpose of forcing the issue
of soviet rule.
That the Weimar government is
flirting with the latter idea seems to
be indicated by the suggestion now
being considered that the assembly
be given an auxiliary chamber COM
prising members of soviet boards.
The German bolshevists are employ
ing new tactics along political lines
In Fridays elections to the executive
committee Of the greater Berlin
soviets they captured two seats their
first representation in that body, in
which they and the Independents have
now an equal vote.
The greater Berlin soviets have
adopted and telegraphed to the as
sembiy at Weimar resolution pro-
testing against SfLOFiS 70 dOCbSh the
soldiers and workmen's councils and
the general hostility encountered by
the revolutionary boards among the
state military and municipal author
tiles.
The resolution calls for the soviets
everywhere to fight for existence. AT
the meeting the conyocation of ma
tiona1 soviet congress on March 1S
was demanded.
That the political situation in
Weimar and Berlin is anything but
reassuring is amply reflected in the
editorial comments of the newspapers
today, which are stimulated by sig
niffcant communication in the Vor-
waerts. This newspaper prints promi-
nently and frankly warning to the
socialist elements of the Scheidemann
cabinet that unless they are able to
produce something better than mega
tive results they had better WITHDRAW
unconditionaJly, leaving the political
wreck as a legacy to the bourgeois
parties"

SAYS TRUST FIXES
ANTHRACITE PRICE
Eight Transportation Com
panies Named by Senator
Vardaman in Statement.
LEGISLATION IS URGED

Senator Vardaman of Mississippi,
chairman of the Senate manufacturers
committee, today inserted in the
Congressional Record a statement on
the committees investigation of the
anthracite coal situation, charging
that production of anthracite in the
United States is controlled by eight
large transportation companies,
which, through an almost complete
monopoly, were able to fix prices and
determine the rate of production.
Chairman Vardaman explained that
the committee was unable to present
its report at this time as not all of
the testimony taken in hearings in
Washington and in the Pennsylvania
coal fields had been printed. He added,
however, that he had gathered to-
gether certain facts" which he trusted
would be of help to the next Congress
in dealing with the anthracite coal
question.

Legislation Recommended.

Expressing the hope that Congress
might see the necessity of legislation
to protect the people of the United
States from what he described as the
greed, cupidity and ayarice of these
soulless corporal tions," ,">the Mississippi
senator recommended that IF the
constitution of Pennsylvania, which
forbids the transportation companies
to mine coal is a dead letter in that
state" the federal government under
the interstate commerce clause of the
nations Constitution compel the di-
vorcement of transportation compa-
MES from mining corporations.
The statement made the additional
recommend that the price of coal
be fixed by the government at a rate
Which would guarantee fair return
to the mining companies and which
would "vouehsafe to the people of
America an ample supply of anthra-
cite coal at a reasonable price"

no commodity in common use that is

this monopoly control.

Bavarian Resolution.

MUNICH. March 2.-The soldiers and
workmen's congress has rejected by a
vote OF 234 to 20 a motion reading as
follows:
1.-THE socialist republic of councils is
proclaimed and legislative and executive
powers belong directly to the working
people, represented by councils of work
men, soldiers and peasants" and has
adopted by a large majority the follow
ing resolution:
'"The assembly of soldiers and work
mems councils constitute the provisional
national council of the free state of
Bavaria. The executive committee will
be charged with the direction of ma
tionaI business and will consist of tfir-
ty-three members whose appointments
are revocable by the national council
The committee will choose from its
members a central committee of seven,
which will be responsible to it"
The future constitution of the free
state of Bavaria will be prepared by the
provisional government and the ex-
ecutive committee, acting together, and
will be submitted for decision to the
people. The soldiers and workInen's con-
gress will elect a new ministry and a
section for public instruction will be
formed, charged with the task of en-
tightening the people. The new min
istry will be responsible to the central

"Dog-in-Manger Attitude.n


The dog-in- -the-manger" attitude Of
the eight corporations which, it was
charged. continually reach out and
obtain all available unmined coal and
prevent the independent operator
from securing new land. Much of this
land, the statement said, is retained
IN an undeyeloped state by the cor
porations.
The statement also said millions of
tons of coal could have been obtained
TO relieve the recent shortage had the
fuel administration compelled trans
portation companies to develop culm
banks or turn over this accumulation
of sman-sized coal to many independ-
ent concerns willing to reclaim it,
The large corporations also were
charged by Senator Vardaman with
maintaining the sale price of coal
through publication of circular
prices" These prices, the statement
said, were put out by the Reading
Company, and were the law of the
