penitentiary where he served a
term for stealing an automobile.

called to bystanders to help her
hold him. Sight Of a pistol pro-
truding from Browns coat pocket
deferred those who heard her
cries from interfering and Brown
after a struggle, freed himself and
fled.

maker a student, who was driv-
en- away by the menace of Browns S

dred persons by entering the room
of John Ryan, go, forcing Ryan
to cook food for him and then re-
naming more than an hour in
Ryan's room, resting from the
chase, keeping Ryan constantly
covered with pistol.
"I got into a little trouble in
Omaha Sunday" Ryan said
Brown told him, ''and two thou
sand people are down there try
ing to get me-" He motioned to-
ward the window from which
could be seen part of the crowd.
When Brown left the room

The bill is similar to the act de-

principle is based upon the power
of congress to regulate interstate
commerce instead of the taxing
power, which wa the basis Of tbs
present law and which the SUI

The bill like the present law,

HOOVER WILL
NAME STRIKE
COAL PRICES
Secretary of Commerce to
Fix Returns on Product
of Mines While Strike
Is In Force.

4 Washington, May 81. - Secre-
tary Hoover today assumed the re-
sponsibility for fixing a reason
able price on spot coal during the
continuance of the present coal
strike.
Opening the conference today
Of union and non-union operators
in the producing fields Mr.. Hoov-
| er declared that any agreement
between the operators looking to-
ward the fixing of the price of
coal, even though in the interest
of the public, would be illegal. He
asked, therefore, that the individ-
ual-operators agree with him upon
reasonable price for coal in their
respective Districts
Committees to Act.
Mr. Hoover suggested the i'm
mediate appointment of commit
tees representing each producing
district to advise with him upon
fair price for coal, in their re-
spective districts. He also asked
that these committees continue In
existance after the determination
of a fair price, reporting cases OF
unfair charges.
He told the several hundred op-
orators at the meeting that the
production was now about 5,000,-
900 tons a week and consumption
between 100000 and 8,500,ooo,
thus necessitating Withdrawals
from stock amounting to between
100000 and 3,500,000 tons a
week. Production will increase
slightly as time goes on, he add
ed
Fair Price Big Problem.
Coal prices today, Mr.. Hoover
said, ranges from about two dol
lars and twenty-five cents to
three dollars and fifty cents ton
at the mine.
The public, he contended,
should understand that the prob
| lem at hand is one of almost stu
pendous difficulty.
What fair price for coal is de-
pends on conditions in each dis
trict and where profiteering begins
and ends is question of definite
fair price, determined upon facts
and not upon theories, the secre-
tary told the operators. There is
not, Mr. Hoover explained, a
single shred of law to enforce a
fair price or prevent profiteering
and the law prohibits operators
agreeing as to what fair price
may be.

N CUMBER'S
BONUS BILL IS
REPORTED IN
Senate Finance Commit
tee Changes Effective
Date to January 1; Kill
SIn0Ot Amendment.

Washington, May 31.-The Nc
Cumber soldier bonus plan was
ordered favorably reported today
by the senate finance committee.
The vote was 9 to 4.
The effective date of the bill
was changed, however, from next
October 1 to January /, 1928, aft
er Senator Walsh, democrat,
Massachusetts, told the minority
that it would take six months to
get the bonus machinery in oper-
alton.
Smoot Plan Defeated.
The Smoot plan, providing for
paid up life insurance in lieu of
all other forms of compensation,
was defeated by vote of to 5,
the three democrats present, Sim
mons, Walsh and Gerry, voting
against it. Republicans support
ing the Smoot proposal were Sem
ators Smoot, Mclean, Frelinghuy-
sen, Calder and Dillingham;. Re-
publicans voting against it were
McCumber, Curtis, Watson, Suth-
erland and LaFollette.
The McCumber plan is the house
bill, with some amendments in
cluding elimination of the land
settlement or reclamation project
Early Action Opposed.
Several of the majority mem
bers of the committee gave notice
to Chairman McCumber that they
would oppose laying aside the tar
iff bill for senate consideration OF
the bonus at any time in the near
future. Chairman McCumber re-
piled that he intended to get as
prompt a consideration Of the
bonus bill as could be worked out,
but did not state whether the tar
IF would be laid aside.
Senators said reclamation was
not discussed in committee, al
though house leaders and some
senate supporters Of reclamation
legislation had urged that the
|Smith-McNary reclamation bill,
or some similar legislation be at
tached to the house measure.
Democrats Opposed.
Senator Simmons, ranking dem
ocrat member, announced on be-
half of the three democrats pres
ent that they voted to report out
the McCumber bill only to get ac-
tion promptly and not because
they favored the measure. The
democratic leader expressed the
belief that the McCumber bill
would be of little benefit to the
former service men and said the
minority reserved the right to Of
fer a substitute bill in the senate
to the MeCumber plan.

OF
REPUBLIC TO
Be OPPOSED
Churchill Says Military
Will Be Used to Fore
stall Attempt To Or
anize Government.

London, May 81 (By Associ-
ated Press. British troops viii
prevent the establishment OF re-
public in Ireland II such action
should become necessary, Win
ston Spencer Churchill, foreign
secretary, declared in the house of
commons today during debate on
the Irish situation.
IN the event a republic is set
up" he said, sit is the intention
Of the British government to hold
Dublin as one of the preliminary
and essential, steps of military op-
Grafton"
Churchill asserted that the
agreement reached between the
political factions In southern Ire-
land last Saturday strikes directly
at the provisions OF the Anglo
irish treaty.
The consequences Of the agree
ment were very serious, the secre-
tary said and it seemed probable
that the Irish people would not be
able to give free expression to
their views in the election OF the
government.
II Mr.. DeValera or any others
who might be chosen ministers in
the new Irish government under
the terms Of the treaty, refused to
sign the declaration Of allegiance

treaty, the secretary, continued.
The treaty was broken by that fact
and the imperial government re-
served such liberty OF action
whether in regard to the resump-
lion of the powers which had been
transferred or the reoccupation OF
territory--as 1t might think APP
propriate and proportionate to the
gravity OF the breach"
Must Fulfill Treaty.
The imperial government would
not, in any circumstances, agree
to deviate from the treaty, either
in the strict letter or the honest
spirit OF the document, MIR.
Churchill declared.
ut is almost certain" Mr..
Churchill went on, ''that the Irish
people will not he able to say in
an Ineligible way whether they
accept or reject the treaty offered
by Great Britain. A certain num-
Der OF labor or independent cam
didates may doubtless secure cleo
tion, but It is difficult TO see how
the parliament resulting from the
election and the government to be
based on that parliament after the
election can have either represents
atiye or democratic quality or au-
thority as 1t is usually under
stood"
In his statement Mr. Churchill
declared that the provision OF the
recent agreement between the
Irish factions that four anti-treaty
men be included in the new Dub
lin government, after the election
provided for by the Free State
treaty. strikes directly at the pro-
visions Of the latter treaty; add
ing that the British, in making
the treaty, did not demand that
the members OF the Irish parlia-
ment should take the oath pre-
sicribed by the treaty for the Free
State parliament, when finally
constituted.

ORAL CLUB USED
BY STRIKERS IS
HELD ILLEGAL.

Following the lead of the Uni
ted States supreme court in the
cases of the American Steel Foun.
dry VS.. Tri- Cities Central Trades
Council and In Truax vs.. Corrigan
the Oregon supreme court today
modified it's former opinion in the
case of George L. Greenfield VS.
Central Labor Council Of Portland
to the effect that strikers may
not resort to oral statements In
picketing a business house which
is held to be unfair to organized
labor.
In its former opinion, written
by Justice Johns, the court had
held that oral statement and ap-
peals to prospective patrons of a
place of business regarded as un-
fair to organized labor were per
mitted under the Oregon law
Since that time the United States
supreme court has decided the two
cases involving issues similar tc
those involved in the Greenfield
case. Following these decisions
the Oregon court granted permis
sion for reargument and resub
mission Of the Greenfield case.
IN the opinion today, which II
written by Justice Brown, Tho
court declares that Intimidation
and good order cannot coexist III
front of the entrance to plaintiff's
stores"
Referring to the use OF ora
statements by picketers the opin-
ion points out that ''if such con
duct is not lawful in the absence
of a strike 1t is not legalized by a
strike"
Under the modified opinion OF
the supreme court labor organiza-
tions may picket and display ban
ners in front Of a place of busi-
ness during a strike but may not
resort to oral statements in an er-
fort to divert business to Other
channels.
