COAL TRUST EXISTS,
VARDAMAN CHARGE

Senator Vardaman OF Mississippi,
chairman of the Senate ManufAc-
lures Committee. inserted into the
Congressional Record yesterday a
statement on the committees inves-
tigation Of the anthracite coal situa-
tion, charging that production Of an
thracite coal in the United States is
controlled by eight large transpor-
tation companies, which, through an
almost complete monopoly, were able
to fix prices and determine the rate
of production.
Vardaman said 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 together GER
tain facts" which he trusted would be
OF help to the next Congress in deal
ing with the anthracite coal question
Testimony before the committee, he
said, had disclosed in his opinion that
"there is no commodity in common
use that is so absolutely monopolized
as the anthracite coal production"
Shortage Of anthracite during the
war and the existing high prices for
the commodity, he said, were due al
most entirely to this mohopolistic
control.

WILL BE A FIGHT
OVER DAYLIGHT LAW

Washington, June 3-Represen-
tat1ve Mondel1, the Republican floor
leader, asked the House Interstate
commerce committee today to re-
port the bill repeating the daylight
saving act without recommends
ton. He said since there was such
a widespread interest in daylight
savings, members were entitled to
the privilege of ''threshing the mat
ter out for themselves"
The request was opposed by mem
bers of the committee, who declared
such action would be "relinquish-
mentment of their delegated right y
Representative Webster, Republican,
of Washington, declared the Repub-
lican floor leader chad no right to
make such an unusual request"
Opponents of the daylight saving
act made another unsuccessful effort
today to include in the 1920 agri-
cultural appropriation bill an
amendment providing for the repeal
of the act.
Chairman Haugen of the Agri-
cultural committee introduced the
amendment and a point of order
was made against it by Representa-
tive LaGuardia, Republican of

BRITISH CABINET
IS NOW IN PARIS
For the PURPOSE of Discussing
Moderating the Terms
for Germany.
U. S. FAVORs MODERATING

Paris, June 1.-The entire mem
bership of the British Cabinet has
arrived in Paris, having been sum-
moned by Premier Lloyd George for
the purpose of considering the ad-
visibility of advocating modifica-
tions in the German peace treaty.
1t is understood that the main
Purpose of calling the Cabinet to-
gether is to ascertain the character
and strength of Liebral Party senti-
ment for making changes in the
treaty Reports from England indi-
cate that this sentiment is wide
spread If the Liberal ranks, and of
sucE = nature as to justify attention
on the part of the British peace del
egations.
Walter Fisher, Minister of Educa-
ton, who, by the way, is believed to
be under most favorable considera-
ton for appointment as Ambassa-
dor to the United States, is regarded
as the Cabinet representative of the
Liberal desire to modify the severity
of the peace terms. Viscount Bryce
has also been using his great infiu-
ence IL that direction.
The Liberal sentiment with refer
ence TO the treaty corresponds
largely to that prevailing in the
American Peace Commission. A
strong belief prevails among the
Liberals that the treaty should be
amended SO as to require Germany
to pay a fixed indemnity instead of
leaving the amount undetermined.
Other contentious are that Germany
should be permitted to enter the
League of Nations at the earliest
possible time, and generally that
the economic rictions imposed
on Germany should be materially
modified.
The British cabinet with a full
membership present, held a meeting g
today, and sessions will be held daily
until the policy with respect to the
changes is determined upon. The
whole situation indicates that the
treaty may be revised in several
important particulars, which willz
insure it's approval by the German
Government.

DIRECTOR HINES
AND HIS RAILWAYS
Twenty Systems Under Gov
ernment; Only Alternative
is Private Ownership
IT is A GREAT BIG JOB

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Director
General Hines outlined to the
American short line railroad asso-
citation convention here today his
plan for a permanent solution of the
railroad problem, under which the
railroads would be consolidated into
from II to 20 great systems un-
der government regulation suffi-
ciently definite as to attract private
capital and afording protection
to the weaker roads.
The only alternative to such reg
| 7'ations, he declared, would be pub
lie ownership, for under any other
plan private management would

The Director General said that
under the plan of consolidation each
system must be made up of some of
the stronger roads and some of the
weaker ones, be of nightly compe-
titive character and have govern
mcnt representation on its director
ate.
A workable basis on which a prop
er return on the valuation Of the
railroad properties could be ascer-
tanned was essential, Mr.. Hines de-
clared, adding that excess earnings
should be divided between the rail
roads and the government. Earn
ings put back in the properties, he
asserted, should not form the basis
for an Increased valuation.
Prompt action by Congress in
providing for the future of the rail-
roads was necessary in Mr. Hines
views as the present situation causes
the public to suffer

THE PAN-AIERICAN
CONGRESS MEETING

Washington, June 3.-Discussion
of trade conditions in Latin-Ameri-
can countries with addresses by
Tudela, of Peru, were the outstand-
ing features of today's sessions of
the Pan-American Commercial Con-
gress meeting at the Pan-American
Union. Delegates to the congress
expressed the belief that the discus
sions of commerce centering on the
methods of building up trade be-
tween the United States and the
Latin-American nations and be-.
tween the countries Of Central and
South America would be productive
of much good.
Secretary Redfeld Informed the
congress he had suggested to the
Shipping Board the establishment
of two new steamship routes to
South America, one touching north
ern ports and the other Southern
ports of the continent. The COM
m4rce secretary told the Latin
American representatives that un-
less the United States took steps to
serve them their countries would
fail; unless they served the United
States, this country would fail, and
unless both served the world, both
would fail.
Development of commerce be-
tween the United States and the
Latin-American countries, Ambas-
sador Tudela said, must be brought
about through the cooperation of
merchants and men of business of
the whole continent assisted by the
administrative element as we'll as by
| the representative abroad of all the
countries of this hemisphere.
