The United States senate yester-
day passed the emergency tariff and
anti-dumping bill, by vote Of 63 to
%. Seven democrats voted for the
bill and only one republican, Moses:

The bill differs considerably

passed the house and it will now

and the drafters of it do not claim that
it is perfect tariff. 1t is expected
that congress will take up the work
of framing tariff bill that the repub-
lican administration thinks will be the
proper thing, but that will take many
months to accomplish and this emer-
gency bill is said to be of such char
acter that " will afford relief to the
farmers of the country. We hope so.

trating the Isn1id Region.

LONDON, March 29.--Ths Creeks have
occupied Ada Bazar, In the Ismid region
of Asia Minor. according to a despatch
to the Exchange Telegraph from Athens.
There is reason to believe, says a Con-
stantinople despatch to the London
Times, that the Turkish Nationalist
command has selected a line Of defence
running approximately from Kastamuni
southwark to Angora, where the main
Turkish forces are concentrating.
Gen. Gouraud, commander of the
French army in the East who arrived
at Constantinople yesterday. made a
statement to the press in which, accord
ing to a London Times despatch from
Constantinople, he warns the Turks that
Frances sympathy is subordinated to
her alliance with the British. sealed by
blood on the field of battle
He points out the fact that an agree
ment which recently was concluded
between The Nationalists and the Rus
sian Bolshevilki might interfere with full
filment OF the Franco-Turk agreement,
which would secure great advantages
TO Turkey. But. he says. IL the Turks
insisted on lighting, soldiers who had un-
fiinchingly resisted the most formidable
enemy in the world for four years could
easily capture dozen Aintabs.

ATHENS, March 20, 1921.
TO the Editor Of THE NEW YORK HERALD ::
In replying to your cable despatch
the King of Greece is desirous that
America should know his reason for
calling the three Greek classes-those
of 1918, 1914 and 1915-to the colors
on March 20 and understand the poll
cies Of the Greek Government regard
ing Asia Minor.
The King. in his message to the
the Greek efforts to pacify the Orient
within the limits established by the
Treaty of Sevres and in accord with
international authority but in the face
of the fact that the Anatolian (Turk-
ish NationalisD organizations showed
constant resistance against these ef-
forts.
In perpetuating this abnormal and
dangerous situation. these Anatolian or
ganizations resorted to force to break
the decisions imperiously imposed by a
high consideration OF civilization and by
repeated sacrifices on the part of Greece,
which saw for so long a time her in
alienable national rights violated while
waiting to see peace consolidated with
out further effusion of blood.
We anticipated a new attempt to
overturn the status established by the
Treaty of Sevres, as revealed by the
movement of Turkish troops and con-
centrations on our front in Asia Minor.
Therefore IL was necessary to reen-
force our troops In order to protect the
Christian populations which are exposed
to these (Turkish) brutalities and to
add these reenforcements to our army
whose duty it is to impose peace in
Asia Minor
(Signed). CoNsTANTINE, King.

ing difficulty in finding the proper men

The Prescott daily news., 1921-05-17

Williamson, w. Va, May 16- Forty non-union miners employed by the Stone Mountain Coal Corporation at Matewan, w. Va, began to move from the district today, according to Supt. Smith. He said the miners had been ordered to leave by supporters of the United Mine Workers. Robert Gilmore, national organizer of the union, denied any such orders had been issued with union sanction.
 ''This is false report put out by enemies of the union for the purpose of bringing about federal interven- tion," Mr. Gilmore said. "We don't believe the trouble here can be settled with guns. It can be settled only around a conference table,"
 Supt. Smiths report to Captain Brockus of the state police stated:
 "The men were told that every non- union miner found in the vicinity this evening would be killed. We are mak- ing no effort to persuade the men to remain, particularly in view of the fact that next Thursday is the anni- versary of the Matewan battle, and we don't want to do anything to stir up trouble"
 Ten persons, including the mayor of Matewan and seven Baldwin-Felts detectives were killed in the Matewan gun fight last May.
 There was heavy firing on Merri- mac, w. Va, last night from both the Kentucky and West Virginia mountains, according to reports re- ceived at state police headquarters. The firing, however, lasted less than an hour. None was reported injured.
