COAL ASSOCIATION
TELLS EFFORTS TO
MEET SHORTAGE

Washington, Dec. 22.-How the Ma
tional Coal Association, an organiza-
tion Of coal operators, dealt with the
government and COPIED with the fuel
shortage last summer were fields in
which Senate investigating commit

Washington, Dec. 22.-Over the pro-
tests of a defiant minority, the House
tonight adopted the F'ordney emer-
gency tariff bill by vote of 1876 to So.
The vote was taken at $40 o'clock af-
ter eight hours of debate.
Political lines were swept aside on
the final vote Al Democrats and one
Prohibitionist combining with 154 Re-
pub!icans in supporting the measure,
while "a Republicans lined up with
y Democrats against the bill.
1t was evident long before the vote
was taken that supporters of the
measure which is designed to protect
some twenty odd farm products for a
ten months period had the situation
well in hand. But Representative
Henry T. Rainey, Democrat. Illinois,
leading the opposition, opened bit
ter attack which increased in inten-
sity as the debate wore on.
Paragraph after paragraph, he as
sailed the measure, while the Repub-
! licans, with loud roarS of "NoeS" sent
his proposed amendments down to de-
feat. A few Republicans supported
| him in his attack but a score of his
own party turned from their tradi-
tional stand against high tariff to
join the majority.
Opposition speakers charged that
| the measure would send the cost of
/ living higher and branded it as class
F., legislation. Defenders of the bill. on
the other hand, said it would save the
agricultural industry.
! In his attempts at amendment Mr..
Rainey sought to show that the bill
| for the most part carried higher rates
than the Payne-Aldrich bill. He also
warned Of retaliatory tariffs and en-
! bargoes by other nations.
| In this connection an amendment by
Representative Olney of Massachu-
/ sets to admit wool in transit from
Australia and outh America at the
| time of passage of the measure at
prevailing rates of duty was voted
down.
Representative Walsh of Massachu-
sets, in opposition to the rate OF
seven cents a pound on cotton man
ufactures said the cotton industries
Of New England were at a standstill
| now and he predicted that an addi-
tional duty would result in further
, unemployment through the abandon
ment of plans to reopen the mills.
Many Republicans said tonight that
they were almost convinced that the
4 x41 INt- A1N
ate.
Mr.. Fordney said in the course Of
the debate, however, that he hoped to
see congress at the extra session sub
stitute for this bill relief measure
| which would remain in effect until a
scientific tariff schedule could be
J worked out.
IT expect" said Mr.. Fordney, ITO
see Congress re-enact either the
Dingley or the Payne -Aldrich bill.

Give Up Hope
Missing AerOnauts
Are Still Alive

Rockaway, n. T., Dec. 22.-For the
first time since the disappearance Of
the naval balloon A-559S nine days
ago. officers at the naval air station
here reluctantly expressed the opinion
tonight that the three occupants Of
the missing aircraft are dead in the
wilds Of the Adirondacks. The same
opinion prevailed at Mitchell Field
among the army officers who have
taken up the search for the Inflated
balloon.
During the first few days of the
crafts disappearance. officers at Rock
away we're confident that the men had
landed in the Adirondacks and that
as soon as they could work their way
to telegraph office the mystery of
the craft would be solved. This hope
held tut for the occupants of the bal
loon has given away to the belief that
the men have frozen to death in some
unfreuuented section of the mountain
Gus area within a radius Of 80 miles
from .G,ens Falls.
The airplane hunt for the missing
craft with Glens Falls as the base of
operation will proceed with one plane
scanning the country when the WISH
bility permits observation flights.

ings of ell the textile unions i'll the
city would be held early next week to

cotton mills, was closed today for 10

Conference
Idaho Senator Against Any Plan
Calling for International Alliance
President Elects Mind Still Open
on Question of Form Peace Pact
Will Take-Reed Opposes "Judi-
ciaI" League

Washington. Dec. %. (By The As
ISOLATED Press. )-William J. Bryan
who visited President Elect Harding
at Marion recently held long con-
ference today with Senator Borah Of
Idaho, a leader among Republican OPP
ponents of the League of Nations.
The purpose of Mr.. Bryan's visit
here, it was stated, reliably, was to
discuss possibilities Of securing an
agreement or reaching some common
ground in the movement toward a
concord for maintenance of world
peace. From what could be learned
of his conference with Senator Borah
It was said that the views of Mr..
Bryan and the Idaho senator both
were unchanged. 1t was indicated
that Senator Borah remained i'm
placable toward any arrangements in
volving any International alliance.
Significance was given Mr.. Bryan's
call upon Senator Borah because OF
the formers very recent talk with
Senator Harding and the former cab
met premier's expressions, after his
Marion visit, of hopefulness for con-
clusion of the world peace problem
Senator Borah also discussed the sub
ject with Senator Harding for an hour
during the latter's stop over here early
| this month.
Information obtained here from
senator's and others who have con-
| ferred with the president elect is that
| Senator Harding has formulated in
his mind only the broad, general out
| line of effecting an arrangement FOL
peace and has not yet come to con-
sideration of details of any plan
Some who have visited the president
elect, however, state that he appar-
emily does not contemplate absolute
discard of the treaty of Versailles, but
is considering incorporation of Ger
tain features at least in developing
his peace policy. Among the eXpe.
dents said to be under consideration
at Marion is adoption of a new set OF
reservations removing all question 81
| American obligation and expressing
merely American adherance to prin.
cipIes believed helpful toward pre-
| venting war.
Establishment Of a world court ant
development of new code OF interna
tional law and procedure are othel
| features of Senator Harding's thought
according to word brought here from
the Marion conferences. Difficulties o.
establishing world court or substitute
ing some such plan for the League o.
Nations, however. are being discussed
privately among senators.
"a judicial league is no more feasible
than a political league" was the state
ment today Of Senator Reed OF Miss
ouri, prominent Democratic 'irrecon
cilable'' who had long talk witt
Senator Harding last week.
