cause of Disorder
In Mines Is Told
Payment of Deputy Sheriffs
By the Operators Is
Blamed.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The system
by which coal operators in the West
Virginia fields pay the salaries OF
deputy sheriffs was held to be the
principal cause of complaint from the
miners and to be largely responsible
for the recent mine disorders, in
statements made last night to the
senate investigating committee in
Charleston by Attorney General Eng
land and made public on return today
Of the committee to Washington.
Called in to give the committee his
views, the attorney general declared
that while the law specifically pro-
hibited such employment it provided
10 penalty and consequently was
ignored.
The attorney general said he knew
it to be fact that deputies were EN-
ployed in Logan rounty to keep out
men seeking to organize unions.

Jap Railway Seeking
Huge Loan in America

Shanghai, Sept. 22.-Persistent
rumors are current among Chinese
bankers and officials here that the
South Manchuria railway, a semi
official enterprise of the Japanese
government, is making serious at
tempts to float loan Of $2l2,s00,0 900
in the United States for development
in Manchuria and Mongolia and also
to purchase an interest in the Chinese
Eastern railway
The Chinese say that the railway
is North $62,500,O0O and if given as
security, as rumored, the loan would
not be covered. They take this as
a further indication that Japan has
not changed its aggressive policy,
despite its offers to return Shantung.
They do not believe that American
capitalists will be persuaded to ad-
vance money under these conditions.

London, Sept. 22.-Prospects of a
conference between Sim Fein rep
resentativcs and members of the
British cabinet at an early date were
declared today to be less hopeful as
a result of yesterdays consultation
between Premier Lloyd George and
several of his ministers at Gairloch.
Several Of this mornings newspa.
pers reflected this view and reports
from political correspondents at
Gairloch generally agreed that the
ministers showed more rigid at
t;tude toward southern Ireland.
1t is declared there is tendency
on the part of the cabinet members
who talked with the prime minister
to insist that Eamonn De Valera
formally withdraw his claim that
Sim Fein delegates would enter the

McKelvie Attacks
Federal Reserve
In This District
Something Radically Wrong
With System" He Declares
In Reply to Attack Oh
State Banks.

Governor Mekeivie today rallied to
the defense OF Nebraska bankers ae-
eused OF prohteering in rediseounting
notes TO the Federal Reserve bank at
Kansas City by Gov. w, {. q. Hard
ing OF the federal reserve board. .
Governor Mekelvie also attacked
the federal reserve system in this
district. declaring there Is something
radically wrong with il. and that il
does not function properly.
In letter 10 Governor Harding,
Governor Mekelvie says:
Something Wrong" q.
THE facts that you give regard.
ing the rate Of interest tina, is being
charged by correspondent banks on
loans that are rediscoun,cd through
federal reserve banks are intensely
interesting. | am not prepared 10 say
that these margins have given any
unusual profit to the banks that have
been patronizing the federal reserve
system, but | DO feel there is some
thing radically wrong with a system
which requires such wide margins.
Also, am convinced that this and
other hampering influences must be
remcdicd before the system will be
very useful to agricultural borrowers
here.
II am informed that the banks in
this district arc not generally patron
izing the federal reserve system. 1t
would seem that il the margins in
, dicated in your letter are profit TO
the correspondent banks, there would
be more general patronage OF the
Federal Reserve bank. The answer
to this seems TO be indicated i'll 4
telegram that | have just received
from a member bank at Genoa, Neb.,
as follows:
1.-THE Farmers State bank joined
the Federal Reserve bank two years
ago and for the past six months has
rediscountcd 10 per cent interest
bearing notes. Our records justify
me in saying that we have made no
profit owing to their changes OF rules
and rediscount rates.
II am also informed that certain
banks in this territory have, within
the last 60 days, withdrawn from
membership in the federal reserve
system. From information that /
have, l am altogether convinced that
the federal reserve system is not
functioning as it should in this dis
trict. The demands for liquidation
were harsh in the extreme in view
Of the fact that this is an agricultural
region and the borrowers here could
not easily conform to the same re-
quirements that were imposed OH
semi-agricultural or non-agricultural
regions.
"In conclusion I desire to suggest
the desirability Of close co-opera-
ton among all the agencies that have
a controlling influence over the
handling of federal reserve funds i'll
this district. This is not a condi-
tion that obtains now and / am sim
cerely hopeful that something will be
oidone to bring it about. May an
: ticipate your hearty interest in this
direction?"
Governor McKelvie, in his letter,
also refers to the meeting of bank
crs which he has called to be held
in Omaha next Monday to confer
with Eugene Meyer, jr., chairman of
the war finance corporation.
