 There was no further statement by the commission as to the scope of the investigation or upon what points it would render a decision. Com missioner Hiram E. Hilts ordered the Colorado Fuel and Iron company to submit statistics to the commission showing it's wage scale for mine workers on November l, 1917, 1918. 1919. and. 1920, and costs or afticles in the company stores on the same dates.
 It could not be learned whether this indicated the commission intended to go into the question of the fairness of the wage scale.
 Hearings were held today for the Berwind,. Tabasco and Tollerburg camps of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. Testimony by superinten- dents at these mines was that 1S9 of 225 employees at Tabasco signed the petitions for reduction, 91 of 100 men at Berwind and 10S of 1So at Tollerburg. The number of men normally employed at Berwind was said to be 300 but F. c.

BILLION DULL AR

Majority Committee Report Discloses Loss In Income And Excess Profit Taxes
 In House Revising Bill
TRepubIIcan A. E. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24 - A shrinkage of more than $1. 900. .000, 900. in income and excess profits taxes this fiscal year was reckoned on by the senate finance committee in re- vising the house tax bill with view to raising $3,324, 100000 in internal revenue in the F months ending June 30.
 This was disclosed by the majority report approved today by committee Republicans and made public. The estimated total of revenue is $136,- 900, 900 less than treasury experts have figured would be returned this fiscal year under the senate plan. but $S4 ,000. 900 more than the revised total under the house bill.
 Estimated returns this fiscal year from income and profits taxes are $1, ,sSo, 900, 900. according to the report. collections in the fiscal year ended June 30. Only about $50.000,000 of this difference Of $1.120,o00,000 is accounted for by proposed changes. Treasury officers and committee members explained that the remain ader is charged to shrinkage on ac- count of business depression, diver sion of funds to tax-exemption se- curities and other causes.
 l{tCldflliB zlldI t0t potoSfstVb,ttt total proposed under the revised bill was only $52, 2,000, ,o00 more than the streasury had estimated would have to be raised through internal taxes, the report said this was "a margin of safety none too large for the fiscal year 1922 in view of the business de- .pression and the uncertainty attach Ing to the yield of the income and profits taxes.
 Your committee has acted" the report said, Ion the assumption that except the special railroad expendi- lures which will be nearly if not wholly completed in the fiscal year 1922, the aggregate expenditure for the fiscal year 1923 will be substan- tiaIly as large as in the fiscal year 1922. The special railroad expendi- lures included in the 1922 budget amount to $500, ,000, 900. and receipts from customs and miscellaneous sources for the fiscal year 1923 are estimated at $730, ,000, 600. Deducting both amounts from the total esti- mated expenditures for 1922 ($4.034,- 900, 000) leaves in round figures $2,- 800, 100000 to be supplied by internal taxes for the fiscal year 1923.
 "The revenue bill as recommended by your committee will raise during 1923. 1t is estimated, t2,735, TOO. 900.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, Sept 24.- Picturing Washington as merely a place where organizations make war upon each other for selfish legisla- tive purposes. Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa in speech here today de- clared that the present tendency to- ward over-organization in the country has created "a very difficult and alarming situation"
 He declared that organization has gone to such length that 1t is now practically impossible for congress to get an unselfish and unbiased opin- ion upon any public Queston.
 The United States" he declared. Ifs over-organized. and at the ex- pense of importance of opinion The safety of this country lies in con- sensus of judgment among intelligent people. We are drifting toward a condition in which it is impossible to get ths consensus of opinion: when every industry and occupation is closely and effectively organized.
 Where are we to get, in Wash ington. when every bit of information that comes to us comes from selfish standpoint? Down there it is simply war between organizations Con gressional committees are constantly holding hearings upon important questions and have yet to hear dur ing this session a single man come to a committee hearing for the pur- pose of enlightening the committee from the public standpoint. All come to urge something that will help the particular organization with which they are affiliated.

N0T UP I MYSTIC ON
 IRISH QUESTION
rRepublican A. p. Leased wTrel

IRepubilcan A. P. Leased Wirei
 DUNDEE. Scotland. Sept. 24- Winston Spencer Churchill, secertary for the colonies. in an address here today. expressed himself as most heartily in favor of a conference on the Irish question.
 He felt there was a much better chance of an agreement being reached by personal interviews than by cor respondence, he said, and it was be- cause of this he was anxious for a conference.-the only thing. he de- clared, which stood between the gov ernment and complete rupture of the Irish negotiations.
 Eamonn de Valera, MT. Churchill said, had made it very doubtful if there was a chance of successful conference.
 An attempt was made to break up the meeting before Mir. Churchill spoke. Mounted police were on duty all night All streets leading to the hall were guarded. but a procession of unemployed tried to rush the hall. Order was restored quickly.
 MT. Churchill said that the gov ernment was profoundly disap- pointed by De Valera's rejection of the offer of dominion home rule"
 Although Great Britain could un- questionably enforce existing law on Ireland,' he continued, "she none the less is called on to clear away all possible misunderstanding. If our offer is rejected we have the convic- ton that our countrymen will SUD- port the empire, as will the opinion of the civilized world" Allegiance to the king, whether as king of Great Britain or of Ireland, must be in sisted upon he declared.
 MT. Churchill said he hoped the limitation of ornaments conference would develop a conference for the establishment of normal exchange. The present industrial situation, he remarked, could be attributed to the collapse of international exchange and Socialist propaganda.

ground while the test was running.
Four well-known brands Of oil were
entered and the results carefully not
ed. Four standard makes of trac-

and three the succeeding two days Of
the test.

The South Platte river has been at
the highest point during the past week
that it has been known to reach in

noted until Monday, when the waters
began to recede slowly. and during
the past two days up until this morn

Monday evening the piers support

gave way, being washed out by the
swift water. This caused the north
end of the bridge to sink down about
two feet. Traffic was tied up for =
short time until Temporary arrange

across to accommodate traffic. 1t
will be necessary to wait until the
river lowers considerably before per-

meantime, no heavy loads will be al
lowed to cross the bridge.
