genre; it pandered almost none at all and, gen

of comedy that was not in high favor with kauf-

editor said, in handing Kaufman his hnsl- pay

of editorial relations.
Connolly. in the meantime. had washed of the
Pittsburgh SCOT and hied himself the becIIon-
ing Broadway where he arrived practically
penness and took refuge with a former friend
who wsllowed in some princely salary drawn
from an advertising concern. Here Connolly
established himself and for the better part OF
year he toiled on his first big opus, entitled The
Amber Empress" which was eventually produces
and promptly damned by all the critics who
it. None of them knew, naturally enough, that
they were dealing with the future author of
"Dulcy" and To the Ladies" they might nave

terrible blow, for Connolly even took 70 scenario

collaborating a play with Larry Evans and n

up and "Dulcy" was the hrst-and highly
cessful-product of that association.

CLAIMS IF COAL
 MEN FUR LOWER
 FREIGHT HEARD
Fuel Operators Claim They Should Benefit First if
 Any Reduction Made

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.- Claims of the coal industry for decreased railroad rates were presented to the interstate commerce commission to- day in it's investigation into the gen. eral level of transportation rates. J. D. A. Morrow, vice president of the National Coal Association and repre- sentative of the largest group of coal mine operators, declared his organi- zation would not attempt to say what railroad earnings would stand in the way of freight reductions, but assert ed that if any were granted, they should be accorded to coal first and to the largest degree.
 Morrow estimated that freights on coal had increased as much as 200 percent since 1914, and that the pres ent average cost of transporting ton from the mines to the consumer was $2.74 while the price of the product itself at the mine was $214.
 George H. Cushing, for the Ameri- can Wholesale Coal Association, de- clared that railroad earnings would be sufficient to allow sharp reduc- tions in the rates on coal with the resumption of normal traffic. He fixed the measure of the reasonable rate at more than 90 per cent in eX- cess of April, 1917, charges, and esti- mated that the average annual pro- duction of the next five years would be above 500,000.000 tons. Railroad revenues from this source, he said, would be far more than required to maintain per cent return on their capital.
 E. l.. Kelley, for the state of South Dakota, discussed the various l increases granted on coal during the four years to date, as compared with the drop in price of agricultural pro ducts, and said that the charges now were excessive and unreasonable, | not justified by existing conditions D

 ity in President Harding Is Rejected 3 to

WASHINGTON, Jan. l9- Senate Republicans in party conference re- ported today approval of the. allied debt reflnding bill with the addition of provision that the interest rate on the refunded bonds should be not less than that fixed in the Liberty loan acts authorizing the loans to the allied nations. This rate is 3-5 per cent, or quarter of one per cent less than the rate stipulated in the obliga- tions of the debtor nations now held by the treasury.
 This was the only change in the bill as reported by the finance committee and which the conference approved. It was announced that the vote on the added provision was 22 to S, and was taken after the conference had voted down, "A to IA, an amendment by Senator Smoot of Utah, that the commission which is to conduct the refunding negotiations should not have the right to fix rate of interest at Jess than , per cent.
 Party leaders said it was the plan to take the bill up in the senate on Monday and to press for its passage, the amended measure having been formally approved by the conference. The Republicans already have voted to take up a soldier bonus bill as soon as the refundng measure is disposed

Picketing Ruling Is Modified by
 Nebraska Judge

OMAHA, Jan. 19.-Federal Judge Martin J. Wade of Iowa today modi- fled a federal court order restraining striking packing house employees from unlawful practices but refused to dis solve the order as had been asked by the strikers. In modifying the order, Judge Wade held that some of the things which were restrained in the original order were not lawful. In the original order, the strikers were restrained from indirectly interfering with or inducing employees to quit work. Judge Wade held that this was not an unlawful practice and it was stricken from the order.
 The modified order follows closeiy the recent decision of the United States supreme court in regard to pieketing. Judge Wade said.
