C. 0. ?. HEADS
 HEAR REPORTS OF COMMITTEE ON 21 ISSUES.
Board of l7l Is Chary of Advice on Position on
 Versailles Pact

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Findings of the special committee of I'll promi- nent Republicans named in January to gather data for the party's nation al platform were brought today under the scrutiny of a conference of party leaders for revision and perfection be- fore their presentation to the Chicago convention.
 The committees suggestions, split up into 21 subcommittee reports on 21 possible campaign issues, were discussed exhaustively at an all-day meeting attended by Will H. Hays, national chairman. The conference will continue tomorrow.
 All the subcommittee reports relat- ed to question of domestic policy, the party's declarations on foreign affairs, including the treaty of Versailles, be- ing left to be worked out at later conferences. Some progress in that direction has been made, however, by an informal committee of Republi- can senators. It was said that in the main the conclusions of the special committee were given approval at to- days conference, though some ehIni- nations were made and suggestions added. All the leaders declared, how ever, that decisions reached at the meeting were in no sense binding and that other changes doubtless would be made when the convention meets. It was indicated however, that the committee reports might be made pub lie when the workers revision was completed.
 The conference today constituted a newly created executive commission of the committee of I'll and was made up of al lthe senators and rep resentatives holding membership on the full committee and of the chair- man of the q sub-committees. In ad- dition, several convention delegates who are to sit on the platform com- mittee attended.

WANT CHAIRMAN TO
 DELIVER DELAWARE
Kisses, and Insults Thrown At Speaker Addressing
 Women of Party

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-A bevy of woman suffrage workers fresh from their unavailing labors to obtain rati- fication of the suffrage amendment by the Delaware legislature, consistently heckled Will H, Hays, republican na- tional chairman, when he made speech today at meeting of republi- can women of the District of Columbia
 The interruptions, designed to make te chairman explain why the republi- can majority of the Delaware capital could not force adoption of the amend ment, kept the assemblage of several hundred women in an intermittent uproar until he had concluded.
 "As soon as you have had more ex perience in practical politics. MT. Hays told the first questioner, you will understand that party officials do not carry legislatures in their pockets
 The republican organization has done every thing it honorably could do to induce the Delaware legislature to act. The only thing left would be TOT us to go down and try to buy some votes, and that isn't done any more in the Republican party"
 A little later when he made plea for republican support because repu- blican officials could be counted upon to insure good government, another woman arose and asked:
 How can you make such promise when you cant count on the republi- can legislatures you already have in power in Delaware?"
 MT. Hays recCunted that of the 8 states which already had ratified, 9 were rcpuDiican md asked his qUas tioners why they did not call on some of the democratic states. He pre- dicted that if Delaware did not ratify some other state would in time to make the amendment effective by the November election.
 Why do you say that?" interrupted one of the women, when you admit you have no influence with even re- publican legislatures?"
 ''I say l feel certain of it." replied the speaker. because l believe that some one of the remaining states is going to be intelligent enough to act between ow and election time"

WASHINGTON, May IS. - grave crisis involving the industrial life of the country has resulted from fail ure of soft coal operators to obtain an adequate car supply, the National Coal association declared tonight.
 Al the same time. the United Mine Workers of America. in a statement quoting John Moore, president of the Ohio miners. said that unless some thing was done Immediately to re- Iieve the car situation. the public would find itself without coal nest winter. Responsibility for present conditions, Moore charged, rests squarely on the railroads and their unjust and unfair discrimination in the distribution of coal cars"
 Tho coal association said persistent efforts of operators to obtain relief had been unavailing and the short age of open top cars in tho coal fields ran 30 to 65 per cent below normal and that not since the days just pre- ceding Americas entry into the war had the country been threatened with such a paralysis of industries.
 Because of the inadequate supply of the open cars to carry coal, own CTS of many mines east of the Missis- sippi river have been forced to run their mines only one or two days a week. instead of full tlme." the state ment said.

Send Cars for
 Grain Cargoes
 Into the West
Government Officials Report Slight Improvement in
 Jam of Freight

WASHINGTON, Nay 1S.-Move- ment of empty box cars for grain loading in large volume westward was announced today by the Interstate Commerce commission which is seek ing to end the nation wide freight congestion.
 Officials of the American Railroad association predicted regular and continuous movement" of empty cars within short period, but the associ- ation's car service committee warned that demands for cars continued to increase.
 Figures for the last two weeks show slight decrease in the number of loaded cars awaiting movement but the decrease was So small as to be regarded negligible, according to officials. It served, however to indi- cate to railway experts that the jam soon might be broken.
 Labor conditions were described as extremely unfavorable by the Inter- state Commerce commission. The commission said it was giving in tensive study" to congested areas which will permit the free use of emergency powers" in deSling appro- priately with such situations.
 State railway and public service commissions within response to the commissions appeal, have turned over to the federal agency their forces of inspectors who are working actively at all important terminals.
 The commission, in announcing the movement of empty cars, did not is sue specific general orders. While the equipment is moving in train loads and without regard to lines owning it, the commission is dealing with individual roads directly.
 Railroad officials said that while the car supply for miscellaneous and dead freight had been restricted thus far, there were indications of an exceedingly heavy demand for that clas of equipment through the in crease of transportation of sand, gravel and stone for road building.

 While this country has contributed 69 per cent of the oil supply of the world, 40 per cent of it's producing fields have been exhausted and. ac- cording to official estimates, oil re- serves remaining in the United States are not expected to last 20 years.

 Tight money and inadequate trans portation facilities were cited among the prime reasons for the movement. Delays in delivery of goods in which much money had been tied up, togeth- CT with inability of farmers to get grain and livestock to market were said in many instances to have worked a hardship on merchants.
 To Satisfy "Hysteria"
 An officer of one of the leading de- partment stores of Chicago declared that the price reduction now being reported meant also that merchants were trying to satisfy what ne called "a hysterical demand from the public for lower prices" These current re- auctions, he said, might be only tenn porary.
 A financial authority here said that if reports of price cutting were de pendable, they indicated tendency toward a reduction in inventories. Though this might be temporary, ne said, it was undoubtedly good, in that it suggested that merchants were going ahead more cautiously Sales are being held under various names.
