Senate Labor Committee Likely
 To Investigate Hoover Agreement

 Thy charged that before the price was fixed at S3.5O coal could be pur- chased at the mine for S1.75, but since the agreement was promulgated they have been unable to buy it for less than s3.50- A boost of 100 per cent. They described one contract which was cancelled although it was supposed to hold through this month because it called for S1.75 instead of S3.50. They also declared ito the two Senators that some public utility corporations have been paying $3.5O and S4 ton An announced cost which the general public is certain to have to support They were told to take the situation up with Hoover, an1 were assured if he did not offer them relief, Borahs committee would certainly request an explanation from him.

Washington, June 9@Charges by re- tail coal dealers that Secretary Hoo- ver's soft coal price fixing agreeme ent with the operators will boost the price to them at least 100 per cent are likely to soon be investigated by the Senate Labor Committee, Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, its ehairman, has indicated.
 Senator Walsh, Democrat of Massa- chustts, whose resolution calling upon Hoover for complete information re- garding the coal situation and his connection with it, was passed recently by the Senate. declared he would de- mand the full light of publicity be shed upon the conference Hoover had with the soft coal operators on May 31
 It was suggested by both Borah and Walsh that the proposed investigation would probably deal with: Presidents Cabinet to fix prices.
 2. Whether a price-hXing agree ment between Hoover and the opera tors is not in violation of the anti trust laws.
 3. Whether the price of s3.5o a ton at the mines fixed was not "ex- cessive' and has not become the min mum but the maximum price:
 Walsh said he and Borah shared the same view that 'tgrave question involving the alleged immoralty or il- legality of the price fixing agreement seemed to have been created by Hoover's intervention in the coal strike.'
 "Unless the situation as already represented to us by the retail dealers is rot soon corrected I believe a con gressional inquiry will become abso- IuteIy necessary Walsh added. Bor- ah and Walsh went over the situation with l.. W. Ferguson, president of the Chicago Coal Merchants Association, and Roderick Stevens, head of the board of directors of the National Retail Coal Dealers Association.

 preparing for fling in the Supreme Court an original suit in which it will claim not only all of the bed of the Red River. recently awarded to the United States in the boundary dispute between Oklahoma and Texas, but all gree of Longitude west from London, and north of the 32nd degree of north latitude
 Counsel for Arkansas, engaged in the preparation of the case, stated to- day that the seventy mile strip of territory eats of the present western boundary of Louisiana would also be claimed and that the Supreme Court would be asked to remove existing confusion as to what constituted the Mexican" boundary line, referred to by Congress in the enabling act of 1896, by which AransaS was admitted into the Union
 Should the Supreme Court hold that the ''M exican" boundary line which was to be a part of the south ern boundary of Arkansas mean the
 Spanish boundary line fixed by the Treaty of 1919. then the thirty-sec= ond degree of latitude, counsel for AranksaS will contend. must be the southern boundary of the State from Louisiana on the 100 degree of llong- ltude. However. should the Court ac- cept Arkansas interpretation that the = M Mexfcan" boundary referred to by Congress was the Rio Grande, its dtt4S4On must IranSTer to Arka nSaS all of Texas east of the 100 degree of longitude.
 Recently Arkansas was denied per- mission by the Supreme Court to in boundary case. when it sought to as sert title to the bed of the River, which was the in dispute It claims all the river between OkIah ona and Texas under that Dart of the enabling act which read that the State should be bOunded on the west to the north bank of the Red River" by the 1929
