RECOMMENDS HOUR CUT

LONDON, March 2O.-The interim report to the coal commission on which Justice Sir John Sankey is chairman. issued tonight, recommend ed seven hours of work underground, instead of eight, from July 16, and six hours from July 13, 1921, subject to the economic position of the indus try.
 The report recommends an increase of wages of two shillings per shift for colliery workers now under slid ing scales, and an advance of one shilling for workers under 16 years.
 In the interest of the country, the colIiery workers, it is further recom- mended. shall have an effective voice in the direction of the mines.
 The present system of ownership and system of working is condemned, and a substitute must be found either in standardization or unification by national purchase or joint control.
 The Sankey report points out that the recommendations mean the dis tribution annually of 3O,O0O,OOO pounds additional in wages and that it should be considered whether penny per ton should be collected at once on coa! brought to the surface, to improve the housing in the colliery districts. This would be equal to 100000 pounds yearly.
 The Sankey report also is signed by Arthur J. BalfOur, who was master cutler of Sheffield in 1911-12 and has bean connected with various advisory commissions; Sir Arthur Duckham, director general of aircraft production and Sir Thomas Royden, member of the shipping control committee
 Another report, by the mine owners on the commission, recommends an in | crease of IS pence a day in wages and a reduction of working hours to sey- en

LAW DECLARES. .SANKEY REPORT. SATISFACTORY.
Government Accepts State ment of Special Coal Com mittee Including Nationiza- ton Question
Miners Granted Two-thirds of Their Demands In Wages;
 Hour Reduction Proposed

LONDON. March zO.-CBy the AssO- ciated Press.) - Andrew BOnar Law, the government spokesman, in a state ment in the house of commons this ev- ening said that the government had accepted the report of the special coal commission of which Justice Sir John Sankey is chairman, including its un- dertaking to report on the question of naturalization by May 20 and to issue interim reports from time to time on problems of improvement in the coal industry.
 Proposals of this nature would be put into immediate operation, declared Mr. BOnar Law. This involved the ecutsnuance of lcosi control for two years.
 With reference to the Sankey re- port, which he explained, was signed by three representatives Of the em- ployers not directly interested in the collieries, and granted the miners two thirds of their demands, ill wages, Mir. Benar Law said that the signers of the report recommended a further reduc- tion in hours in 1921 because they as sumed that by then the output of 1913, namely 2S7 ,O00, 900 tons, would be re- sumed. The estimated cost of wages recommended for the current year was 43,O00,O00 pounds.
 It was proposed that the profits of the coal masters should be limited to 14 pence per ton. Taking all things into consideration the estimated cost to the taxpayers would be nearly 30, OOO,OO pounds.
 MT. Bonar Law also announced that the employers had made what he him self and the labor minister considered reasonable proposals to the transport workers, and he had reason to believe these would prove acceptable to the men.

DISTILLERS FIGHT BONE DRY MEASURE
CBy Review Leased wirel

NEW YORK. March 2O.-The com mittee of distillers of the United States, representing the entire diStill- ing industry, announced tonight that steps were being taken to attack the cOnstitutiOnality of the federal pro- hibition amendment and the wartime prohibition act.
 Levy Mayer of Chicago, counsel for the organization, was instructed to ar range for a suit to test the emergency prohibition law after the treaty of peace had been signed. Action to bring about a judicial review of the 18th amendment, it was stated, would await the outcome of referendum elec- tions in lS states where petitions call ing for a popular vote on the bone dry" enactment have been filed or are in circulation.
 Mir Mayer advised the committee that in states having referendum laws and whose legislatures have ratified the amendment, the ratification would have no effect unless a majority of the votes cast in the elections favor cd the amendment.
 In their discussion of measures to nullify the federal amendment. the dis tillerS named California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada. Idaho. Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri. Maine and Nebraska as states where referendum petitions have been circulated. As A state leg islatures ratified the amendment. nine more than the necessary three-fourths, the distillers announced plan of action could not be carried out if the people of more than four states approved the action of their legislative bodies.
 The distillers opposition to the war time prohibition act follows the lines laid down by the brewers in their suit filed here against the law, having been enacted after the signing of the armistice went beyond the power of congress to adopt measures for the na- tional security and defense.
