Retailers Reject All Sugges-
tons of Commerce to Stop
Profiteering.
BY w. II. ATKINS,
International News Service.

The coal situation today reached a
new stage with the bituminous strike
still going strong. and the Govern.
ment's efforts to prevent profiteer-
ing almost a wreck. Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover meditated. before
making a further move. and weigh
ed the possible outcome o: the de-
fiance Of retail coal dealers to all
of his overtures to abide by fair
price scale.
Absolute rejection Of all OF Hoov-
er's suggestions by the retail ccal
merchants, and their threat that
prices will be raised on soft coal, de-
spite efforts by the Government to
stop profiteering, put the issue
squarely up to the Government.
The retailers excuse for early boost
ing Of coal prices shifted blame TO
the coal operators. The operators
retorted that the retailers are IN
speculative mood.
Administration officials meanwhile
saw the menace of industrial strife
before many weeks bee au3e ot ac-
tual coal shortage. Secretary Davis
continued his conferences with rep.
resentative operators. but would not
hazard an opinion as 10 the end Of
the strike. The operators were Just
as non-committal.
The Cabinet was deeply disturbed
over the prospect OF soaring prices
and shortage Of fuel when IL met to.
day. Secretary Hoover. the Presi.
dents agent in keeping down extor-
ton. was incensed over threats OF
the retailers. His knowledge that
rising coal prices within a few days
will upset his entire mediation pro-
gram, was disconcerting in his fur
ther move to bring the coll Jobbers
into line at a further session later
this week.

flying in such thick swarms that
they were mistaken for smoke,
caused two fire alarms yesterday.
Members of a truck company an.

firemen saw what they at first
supposed was a small cloud OF
smoke and they raised their exten.

mosquitoes and we're forced back.
They found no fire.
The same experience was met by

NEW YORK, June S.-Can the

Having thus analyzed the affair 10
his own satisfaction, he paused.

His fate was perfectly natural, "

Now Anderson had good cause to
be fearful. Any man with fifty love

TARIFF BILL IS
CAUGHT IN JAM
Of LEGISLATION
G. o. p. Leaders Trying to Ex-
tricate Il With Soldier
Bonus Measure.
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

Republican leaders were still
struggling today to break the Sen
ate legislative jam in which both
the tariff and the soldiers bonus
are wedged.
The hope was expressed that
Senators would weary Of the tariff
debate sufficiently to permit its
passage by the middle OF July. and
while II was being ironed out in
conference a soldiers bonus bill
would be slipped through.
What would become Of the ship
subsidy bill no Senator was willing
to hazard a guess.
McCumber Insistent.
But a canvas Of the Senate stu.
alton disclosed consensus OF
opinion that a. the President was
determined a shipping measure
should be enacted, and 29 even
Republicans closest TO the President
did not know what kind Of a bonus
bill would be acceptable to him.
Senator McCumber Rep) OF North
Dakota. chairman OF the Senate
Finance Committee. declared he
had no intention Of receding from
his plan to report his bonus
bill. which is a modification Of thu t
passed by the House. and Of insisting
that ii be taken up before the taLiff
is disposed of finally.
Senators Watson OF Indiana,
Willis OF Ohio. and Cummins OF
Iowa were among the Republicans
who predicted that a bonus bill was
certain to be passed. although they
admitted they did not know what
kind OF a measure II would be, and
they were understood to share the
opinion that McCumber's plan to
displace the tariff for il would un.
doubtedly meet with stiff oppoSi.
ton.
Opposed To Bonus.
Senators Borah of Idaho, Edge
Of New Jersey. Wadsworth Of New
York, Underwood of Alabama, and
others unalterably opposed to any
form of bonus legislation, authorized
the statement that they intended to
do everything within their power TO
block It. They did not deny that
they had every intention of dis.
cussing every aspect OF the bonus
question at considerable length, and
the bonus advocates charged them
with contemplating deliberate
filibuster to prevent action on II.
In the meanwhile, the tariff de-
bate dragged along. with the Re
publican Agricultural bloc" forcing
the defeat Of those provisions OF
the tariff bill to which II Is op-
posed, and the adoption Of those
schedules which IT favored. The
tangled situation was described as
one from which any developments
regarding either the tariff or the
bonus might come unexpectedly at
any time.
