THE prairie chickens are going

The young poults and guineas will

BACK TOORIGN
President to Send Commis-
sion's Report to Prnci-

The bituminous coal controversy
will be passed back to the operators
and miners for final settlement II
President Wilson adheres to the de-
cision announced for him yesterday
by Attorney General Palmer.
Palmer, VINO with Walker D.
Hines, of the Railroad Administra-
tion. called at the White House Of
fices, said the President will submit
the majority and minority reports
of the Coal Commission to a wage
scale conference of operators and
miners to be held some time before
April l.
Expects wage Increase.
The President, the Attorney Gen.
eral asserted. win expect the con-
ference to proceed to ar agreement
upon the basis of the Coal Commits
sion's majority report which recon-
mends 25 per cert increase in min
ers' wages and no reduction in
working hours, and Is signed by
Henry NJ. Robinson, representing the
public, and Rembrandt Peale. for
the operators.
The minority report made by John
p. White for the miners will be
given to operators and miners for
their information and doubt!es will
form tthe basis for the miners de-
during the negotiations of the wage
scale conference. Neither Of the
reports has been made public by
the White House. but 1t was stated
that summary will be issued with
in a few days, probably accompanied
by statement from the President
No Increase to Consumer.
An accurate forecast recently pub
lished of the majority report said
no recommendations were made for
an increase In the price of coal to
the consumer. 1t is known the OPP
orators will stand for no agreement
which increases wages 25 per cent
and fails to provide for an advance
in coal prices.

DELAYED
ON EDUCATION
Measure to Provide Depart
ment Of Education Still
Held Up.

The House Committee on Educa-
tion probably will not report out the
Towner bill. calling for the creation
Of a separate department of educa>
tion and appropriating $1o0.oo0.ooo
for educational purposes In this ses-
sion Of Congress. according to Rep
resentative Simeon d. Fess. Of Ohio,
chairman of the committee. The
bill has beer In the committee since
May of last year. but has so little
chance Of passage at this time that
the chairman of the committee Is
fearful lest IL be defeated.
An appropriation of 100000. 600
cannot be reconciled with the policy
Of economy outlined by the Republi-
can leaders Of the House. in spite
of the fact that 1t calls for $2,500.-
900 for Americanization purposes
and $50,0o0.000 for partial payment
of teachers salaries.
The House Education Committee
also has in its keeping the Kenyon
Americanization bill which passed
the Senate in January. calling for
an appropriation of $6.500,000 for
the education of illiterates. The
committee has not undertaken its
consideration yet.
At the time the Kenyon bill was
introduced, however. a similar meas
ure was introduced in the House by
representative Albert H. Vestal OF
Indiana. The House committee has
ts ken final action on that bill and
probably will consider it when the
Kenyon bill comes up.
While no action is likely on the
Towner bill, Iccording to Mr.. Fess,
it is probable that something will
be done with the proposals for
Americanization.

The persistence of erroneous reports
