 Among today's witnesses, Charles Lane of the New York Evening Post and MT McAneny suggested the best remedy for the spot market condition was for pub fishers to stop competitive bidding.
 Price fixing, government control of dis tribution and limitation on the size of publications by postal ban were op- ,osed by the metropolitan publishers. Ar thur W. Dunn, representing the American Press association, which serves a number of small dailies. however, declared the smaller publishers favored government control of distribution, but did not know whether legislation to that end would be constitutional
 The complaint of the small publishers, voiced by Mir. Dunn, was that they were compelled to pay the high prices while the big publishers. able to buy in larger quantities, bought cheaper under con tracts

 Officials of the mine workers declared 1 tonight the only thing that would prevent breaking off of negotiations would be i the submission of an acceptable plan of arbitration or a more liberal counter
 offer covering their demands The. op-
 orators made no comment as to their plans.
 Representatives of the mine workers | in rejecting the proposed arbitration plan of the operators, declared that it :, was not practical and that it would cause

To nouularize the last four plans, the re- oublicans propose to allow $1.75 a day for each day of service. instead of the tfes cash bonus as the basis for com pnting farm and home aid, loans ana the amount of financial aid each man might receive in the form of educational training
 me insurance plan as such was said by committeeman to be ~misnomer' but they declared it was the most attrac- i've of any of the five plans.
 The average period of service for word war veterans was 400 days. they sald. explaining that under the insur- ance plan the average veteran could re- ueive a paid-up insurance policy of Sl.- gs7. payabie to him in cash at the end of twenty years. or immediately to his heirs In event of death.
 The loan value of the insurance-de- noted in the legislation as adjusted srrvice certificates'-would not accrue until the end of the third year the plan lad been In force. and at that time an sx-servlce man. with a record of 400 days' service, would be entitled to 8 ioan of S551.
