BORAH FOR CONGRESSIONAL
INQUIRY OF COAL PRICES

Washington, June 9.-Congressional in
vestigation of prices charged by bi-
luminous coal operators and retailers
were promised tonight by Senator Borah,
of Idaho chairman of the senate labor
committee at a conference with Secre-
tary Hoover of the department of com
merce, if the basic price scale establish
ed at conferences between Mr.. HooVN y
with committees of producing operators
are made the basis for profiteering.
1t was said that at the conference
which was held at Senator Borah's res
idence, at the instance of the commerce
secretary, the question o. governmental
action for bringing about settlement
of the strike was not discussed.
Secretary Hoover was said to have
assured Senator Borah that in further
conference with operators and dealers he
would do his utmost to prevent profteer-
ing and to obtain price adjustments to
protect the public, and Senator Borah
was understood to have agreed to with
hold any investigation pending the out
come of Mr.. Hoover's action.
Following the conference, Senator Bo-
rah made the following statement:
My position at the conference tonight
was simply this. If the operators and
retailers work together and will coop
crate to protect the public In the matter
Of prices, should not favor at this time
any investigation and would let this price
proposition work itself-ou if it will.
But il the maximum which has been
fixed by Mr.. Hoover is going TO be used
by the operators at a minimum price and
thus push on to the retailers. and the op-
orators and retailers together take ad-
vantage of the situation to boost the
price to the public, would favor an in
vestigatlon to force complete exposf
tion with a view to laying the foundation

TEN DAYS BEFORE SENATE
TAKES UP THE BONUS BILL


Washington, June 9.-Efforts to OBJ
tain senate consideration of the soldiers
bonus bill will. be deferred for at least
ten days it was stated today authorita-
lively. Whether it will be taken up by
agreement among republican leaders
or without the consent of some remains
to be determined.
Chairman McCumber. Of the finance
committee, who will pilot the legislation
on the floor, has informed senators that
in fixing time to call the bill up he
will try to suit the convenience of most
of them. He said he realized that there
were those on each side who had been
absent from time to time because of pri-
mary campaigns in their states and who
desired to be present when the bonus is
considered.
Another amendment to the bonus
measure was offered today, Senator Nc
Nary. republican, Oregon, proposing the
Smith -AdcNary $S5O, 900 reclamation
measure as land settlement feature.
This bill already has been reported to
both the house and senate but as a part
of the bonus measure it would be
changed Senator McNary said, so that
veterans would be given preference in
the purchase of land in excess of the
farm unit and in the preference to
homestead public lands lying within q
reclamation district.
Under another change the service OF
veterans would be utilized as practicable
| In the construction of each reclamation
| project.
| Senator McNary said it was his pur-
pose to press his amendment provided 9
majority of the senate show a desire tt
incorporate land settlement provisions
