PALMER IS CALLED
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
Will Be Asked to Explain Agreement Basis in the
 Strike Settlement
By A,,oei.t,d Pros,

Washington. December 17.-Attorney General Palmer will appear before the Senate committee investigating the coal situation Friday or Saturday. Chairman Frelinghuysen announced tonight after brief session of the committee
 The Attorney General it was indi- cated, will be asked to explain the basis of the agreement which finally ended the strike of bituminous miners and caused the resignation of former Fuel Administrator Garfield. Mir. Palmer, it was said tonight at the De- partment of Justice, would leave Chi having cancelled his speaking engage ments in Little Rock, Ark, and Okla homa City Okla.
 J. w. Dawson, an expert on coal pro- duction and costs, who was the only witness heard today by the Senate committee expressed the belief that the present wages paid miners are suf- ficient and that "any increases granted them must eventually come from the ,public's pocket"
 Coal operators are not making big profits this year. MT. Dawson said, 'and in my opinion they cannot entirely ab- sorb the IA per cent increase which the government has already allowed"
 Senator Frelinghuysen asked the witness to suggest method of avoid ing nationwide strikes such as that just ended
 President Wilson and Attorney General Palmer took the best method when they started out to make the miners union observe the Lever law and call off the strike" Dawson replied.
 The United Mine Workers union coll lects annually $11,000,0GD in dues, Gates told the committee, and ought to be held responsible for contracts.
 You can't have collective bargain ing unless both men and employers can be made to live up to their cons tracts he added
