 ALL THOSE WHO
 HELP RADICALS s
Plan to Force the Department of Justice to
 Act

Washington, Dec 16.-Legisla- tive proposals of the house immi- grafton committee to aid in ridding the country of alien radicals framed after prolonged hearings here and in New York, were pre-. sented to the house today by Chairman Johnson, republican, of Washington, who declared the bill was so drawn as to force the de- partment of labor to act against alien agitators.
 Secretary Wilson has held, MT. Johnson said, that mere member ship in the l. w. w. or kindred or ganizations, was not sufficient un- der the law to warrant deporta- tion. The committees bill. he added, made the "letter and intent of the law plain and unmistak- able" as under utilization or any financial connection with organi' cations teaching radical doctrines without the commission of ar overt act, meant deportation.
 At the same time the house judiciary committee began work on various proposals aimed al suppression of radical activities generally to reach citizens as vel as aliens. Representative Blan ton, democrat, of Texas, declared the department of labor wa: "honeycombed" with "the spirit O anarchism" from Secretary Wilson down; and Representative Davey democrat of Ohio, told congress that the public would take mat ters into their own hands unles congress hastened to act.

 $125,000,0

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 16.--Loss to the United States on account of the recent coal strike amounted to approximately $126,000,000, ac- cording to w. D. Mckinney, secre- tary of the Southern Ohio coal ex- change. Additional loss to rail roads from curtailed service and to industries forced to shut down on account of the fuel situation could not be estimated and no al- lowance therefore is made in the estimate, MT. Mckinney stated.
 The miners were the greatest losers in the strike, McKinney's $ figures showed. Sixty million dol lars was his estimate of their loss- es in wages in this country.
