GARFIELD HITS
PALMER ENDING
OF COAL STRIKE
Higher Prices to Consumer
Sure to Result He Tells
Senators.

The plan of settlement of the coal
strike agreed upon by Attorney
General Palmer and the miners
representatives was sharply criti-
cized by retiring Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield. in testimony given yes
the Senate.
DR.. GARFIELD said he objected to
the plan upon two SPECIFIC grounds:
First, that under its operation the
government would lose its price
fixing power; second. that in the
commission OF three the majority
would be the representatives of the
industry. leaving the public in the
minority.
Higher prices for coal to the con-
sumiag public undoubtedly will be
the, result Of any price-hxing and
wage-hrins agreement reached by
this commission. DIR. GARFIELD stated.
and rejected by the miners. DR.. Gar
field said the public would have
been protected against an increase
in the price of coal. because the
$1o7. 100000 additional cost to the
operators by reason of the II per
cent increase was to have been alb
sorbed by the operators.

that his resignation was accepted yes

find the udder. The calf should get
the first milk-the colostrum-which
acts as a mild purgatiye. unless the
cows udder is feverish.
The calf should make fast, contin-
uous growth from time of birth. A
common expression among beef cattle
growers Is Keep the stomach of the
calf full of milk and grain at all times.
Give it all the milk from its dam, for
short period at least, unless the
amount of milk produced is excessive.
Calves should be fed grain from the
time they begin nibbling at such feed
until they are turned on grass
The feeds most desirable for calves
at this time are ground oats, bran,
corn (Which may be ground), cotton
seed oil meal, which should be pro-
vided in such amounts as the calf
will leat If the calf is well fed it
will make an extra good individual.
If improperly fed it ranks only as a
fair or poor individual.

TREATY
IS PROTESTED
BY DELEGATES
Action to Make Public Secret
Documents to be Taken by
Conference.

PARIS, March 15.--It has been
learned that the status of secret treat
les and conventions made during the
war again has arisen.
Information obtained today from
some Of the American delegates to the
peace conference was to the effect that
the action of majority of the cont
mission dealing with the subject of
Grecian boundaries in declaring that
the treaty of London of 1915 was eff
fective will not be permitted to go UNI
challenged and could not become eff
fective unless ratified by the council
Of ten, which they asserted would re-
fuse it's approval.
The subject matter Of the decision
of the commission is not of especial
interest to Americans, but the decision
relative to the treaty of London, which
is one of those secret conventions
made during the war, is regarded as OF
the gravest importance, it being de-
clared to be in direct conflict with one
OF President Wilson's fourteen points
Concerning such agreements and one
relative to the right Of self-determina-
ton OF small nations.
It is held that II the decision of the
majority of the commission were up
held, 1t would Of necessity carry with
it affirmation of Italys claims to near
ly all the eastern shore of the Adri-
attic, as well as of other agreements
for the disposition of colonial posses
sions which have been regarded as
proper subjects for action of the SUI
preme council and the peace confer
ence itself.
A point of especial interest is that
the action was taken by the commits
sion through a combination Of votes
Of Great Britain, France and Italy.
