Senate Committee, May
Ask Harding to Break
Deadlock.
SIX FACTIONS

Manufacturer Bloc At.
tacks Proposed Com
promise.

PRESIDENT Harding will be ap-
pealed to again to break the Sem
ate deadlock on the tax bill. IL was
indicated last night. when the
Finance Committee broke up after
an all-day wransle over the Cap
per-Lodge compromise program.
Not q single item in the compro-
mise plan. which was expected to
smooth the way of the tax bill,
was agreed upon. This was q re-
suit OF the determined stand of
the newly formed manufacturers
bloc against increased surtax and
estate tax rates and the retention
of the capital stock tax included
in the program.
Senator Penrose announced that
the committee would attack the
tax problem again on Monday. It
was indicated, however, that the
week would be spent in straighten-
ing out the tax tangie in the COM
mittee. while the Senate devoted
itself to the Panama Canal tolls
bill and the peace treaties.
Fight Goes MerriIy On.
Meanwhile the six-sided tax
fight between the manufacturers
bloc arrayed against the Capper-
Lodge compromise: the agricultural
bloc against both: the Democrats
directly opposing the committee
bill. and the Smoot sales tax bloc
awaiting an opening favorable to
the adoption of the proposal. con-
tinues with unabated fury.

the agricultural bloc spurred on
by the farm organisations. threat

Leaders of the manufacturers
bloc yesterday conferred with
Chairman Fordney of the House
Ways and Means Committee on the
temper of the House concerning the
increased surtax rates proposed IN
the Capper-Lodge compromise.
After the conference they felt Sc
cure in their position. as it was said
that Representative Mann, of Hi
nois, leader OF a bloc of 100 in
surgent Republican representatives,
takes a stand for 80 per cent sur
tax, as the bill passed the Hous-.
The retention of the excess
profits taxes and increased estate
taxes demanded by the agricul-
tural bloc is giving them more
concern. The temper Of the farm
organizations on these features
may be gauged by a statement is
sued last night by benjamin c.
Marsh. of the Peoples Reconstruc-
ton League. in which he con-
demned the committee bill as "a
most vicious measure sired by
Wall Street and damned by war
profiteers."

HARDING WOULD BAR
WALKOUT IN SPRING
Administration Attempts
To Assure Industry
It's Coal Supply.

President Harding failed last night
TO persuade union miners officials to
promise not to strike next spring.
rour hours of argument failed to move
the oficisls from the stand that they
were powerless to bind the United
nine workers OF America to any such
agreement.
II was pointed out. however. that
th1s Is no indication that the miners
would strike when their wage agree
ment expires next March.
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover and
secretary of Labor Davis. together
with President Harding. were closeted
with the officials most of the day in
an effort to secure a promise against
possible tie-up of the coal mines
next spring.
Await February Meeting.
President Harding and Secretary
hoover described to the mine officials
the Unemployment and suffering that
general coal strike would infiict. not
only on miners. but on all labor.
The miners refused to commit them
selves. Their defense was that the In
dianapolis convention tied their hands
oy ordering officials to defer nego-
tiations until after the February
meeting.
The mine officials went into the
Presidents Office at 1880. At 1 O'Clock
they were taken to the White House
TO continue the conference around the
luncheon table At 2:30 the deadlock
was still on and President Harding
heid up all other engagements for two
hours more.
neaerfh%~ ReueAf
Secretary Hoover afterward issued
a statement announcing that no
agreement had been reached.
Secretary Hoover tried to show
the advantage that the miners them
selves would derive by giving as
surance that reviving industry
would not be hampered by an in
terruptel flow of coal.
The leaders replied. il is Said. with
assurances that the miners wishe,
to do nothing adverse to the public
welfare, but that they were present
only as spokesman for their fol-

Text of Statement.
After the conference, Secretary
Hoover issued the following state
ment:
The conference with the miners
representatives today was in Sc
quence of discussions carried on last
week with representatives OF the
coal operators under the auspices
of the URemploy Conference.
The desire of the conference was
to determine If steps could be taken
now that would minimize the dan
ger of stoppage in coal production
at the expiration of the national
agreements at the end of March by
a prior understanding to arbitrats.
any ultimate differences.
-Owing to the situation of the
miners leaders as the result of the
decision at the Indianapolis con-
vention to defer discussions of the
new agreement until after their
February meeting, it has been i'm
possible to come to any immediate
arrangement"

Following the meeting OF the City

Bjork the subject OF alternating the
men at work on streets and sewers
In the city. Mr.. Bjork readily fell in
with the suggestion. saying that he

speak OF IL but II slipped his mind.
The commissioners called upon Man
ager Sanders and talked the matter
over with him. AS a result OF that
talk the workmen will be changed ev-
cry week OF two. beginning July /.
This arrangement IS made so that
working men in the city may get an
opportunity TO get few days work for
the public and not conflne the work to
a select few. This is the plan rec
commended by the working men them
selves in mass meetings held by the
Alliance. The plan is being follow
ed In almost all OF the municipalities
OF the county. In Crystal Falls Town

the work around handsomely. In Iron
