The State Anti-Saloon League yes

asked Herbert Hoover where he stands

"You are being pushed for the Pres

which is the most violently insane op,

says Mr. Anderson. ITO those who

Delays Action ON Bill
To Relieve War Victims
House Rules Committee Wants
to Learn Sentiment of Country
on $50, 100000 Loan

From The Tr7bune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Before the
House Rules Committee acts upon the
bill giving authority for a $4,000, 900
advance for food supplies for the peo-
pie of Austria and other European
countries, it intends to determine
whether the sentiment Of the country
favors another ADVANCE to any Euro
pean nation. Many Republican mem
bers of the committee are opposed to
any such advance, feeling the United
States already has done all that could
be expected and that in view of the
big tax burden now resting on Ameri-
can shoulders and the prospect that
the Federal income will not approach
expenditures, ANY further advances,
even of q comparatively small sum,
would be unadvisable.
These members do not doubt the
statements made before the House
Ways and Means Committee, which
has approved the $5O,O0O,0OO advance,
by Secretary Glass, Herbert Hoover,
General Tasker H Bliss, and others
that such aid is necessary, but they
are not satisfied the people of this
country have been convinced that more
should be done.
In view of this attitude it was said
tion is to be expected from the Rules
Committee for several days despite
the Administration plea that aid
should be extended speedily. if at all.
Members of the committee are ex-
pressing doubt as to whether such
legislation could pass the House,
although many Democrats might feel
compelled to support it because it has
been urged by the Administration.

Miners Union Leadership
Congress Told Wildcat Strikes

the bituminous coal industry of the
five states comprising the southwest
ern field was laid before the coal
strike settlement commission to-day
by representative of the operators
and of the United Mine Workers. dis
tricts involved
AS spokesmen for the operators II.
N. Taylor, president Of the National
Coal Association, attacked what he de-
scribed as the "black and rotten
record" of union leadership in the
southwestern mines.
Union heads have inflicted Economic
loss and even poverty upon the willing
worker" by calling useless strikes. 3
mostly of a wildcat variety" Mr..
Taylor declared. There were 364
strikes in the Kansas district alone
in 1918, which cost the miners in lost
wages Sl,644,000, he added.
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers, took excen-
tion to the term of wildcat"
Wildcat as accepted in the
parlance Of labor circles end believe
elsewhere" he said, "is properly a term
to be applied only to unauthorized irra-
sponsible walk-outs called in violation
or contract agreements
Mr.. Taylor rejoined that inasmuch
as the strikes had been called in sn;ta
OF the existence of supposedly strike-
proof contracts between operators and
miners he still believed he was ,;I,h.
