COMMISSION WAITS
FOR 7ODAYS MEETING
PRESIDENT WILL NOT MAKE
NEW EFFORT TO SETTLE THE
COAL STRIKE UNTIL CONFER
ENCE is HELD IN CLEVELAND
THIS WEEK.

Washington, Aug. 5.-President
Harding probably will withhold ap-
pointment of a special commission to
effect settlement of the coal strike
until after the conference in Cleve-
land Monday of miners and opera
tors from the central competitive
field, it was indicated tonight in
administration circles. \.
Considerable Importance was un-
derstood to be attached by the ad-
ministration to the outcome of the
Cleveland conference in relation of
the national fuel situation.
Congressional participation in the
coal dispute also will await the re-
suits of the Cleveland meeting, offic-
ials believe. Senator Borah (Repub.
lican) Of Idaho, saw the president
today and discussed his proposed bill
to authorize the chief executive to
appoint a federal commission to ar.
bitrate the mine disagreement. A
decision was reached not to intro.
duce the measure into the senate un.
til next week.
Meanwhile, further steps toward
insuring coal distribution during the
emergency were taken by the gov.
ernment. Supplemental orders were
issued by the interstate commerce
commission, giving bituminous Goa
for household uses and for manu-.
facturers of food and medicine pri.
ority status, while the central dis
tribution committee completed the
formation of it's regional commit
tees, which are to begin on Monday
to distribute the flow Of coal from
the various producing districts tt
consumers designated by the Wash
|ington headquarters.
Current car loadings In the pro
ducing coal fields, according to tele
graphic reports gathered by the rail
roads, showed some improvement
during the past few days.

SENATOR HEFL|N
FIGHTS HARDING
CONTINUES ATTACK ON FED.
ERAL RESERVE GOVERNOR.
VARIOUS CHARGES PREFERR-
ED BY ALABAMA MAN A.
GAINST HEAD OF BOARD.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Belief that
Governor Harding of the federal re-
serve board had speculated PERSONAL.
ly in cotton while directing the al
legged deflation policy of the board
in 1920 was expressed in the senate
yesterday by Senator Heflin Demo
crat) Of Alabama in another speech
against reappointment of Governor
Harding. ... .'.- :~
"Lots of people, and I'm one Of
them," said Senator Heain, "believe
that the governor Of the board was
specializing himself in cotton at the
time of this defation. What other
motive could he have had?" -.
Senator Heflin also reiterated
charges that Wall street was behind
the alleged defiation policy and that
portions of the press were suppress
ing speeches against Governor Hard
ling.
"a large portion Of the press is
clean and respect It, But ! large
portion can be bought like sheep"
said Senator Hefin. He gave notice
that if President Harding should re-
appoint Governor Harding he would
ask for open senate consideration
of the nomination and fight it to the
last. Reappointment, Senator Hefin
said, would be Endorsement by Pres
ident Harding Of the acts and poll
cies of Governor Harding, and add
ed that senator's who should vote for
confirmation should be defeated.
! Senator Heflin said he would make
public a letter he had written Presi-
dent Harding making charges and
protests against reappointment of
Governor Harding should the gov
ernor be renominated, together with
other documents including a state
ment of the alleged dummy loan"
by the New York reserve bank Of
s3,OO0,oO0 to William Boyce Thomp-
son, Republican treasurer.
That "a very wealthy man" had
been advised in advance of the
boards alleged defation policy also
was charged by Senator Hefin who
also said he had reported that Gov
ernor Harding had been offered po-
sition paying 100000. Senator Hef-
! lin added that Wall street desired
Governor Harding retained and said
he was informed that promises of
large financial support had been
made for any political party which
,ould retain Governor Harding.

NOTED IN ATLANTIC STATES
OVER PRODUCTION OF LAST
YEAR.

New Orleans, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Hester's annual report on the com
mercial cotton crop of 1922; an
nounced here yesterday, put the to-
tai commercial crop of 1922 al
11,653,133 bales, an increase OF
275,s15 over 192O-21, and a de.
crease under 1e19-2O of 7so,047
bales.
The commercial crop of Texas, Sec
retary Hester said, is $4,000 bales
under last year. The group of "othe1
states," embracing Louisiana, Miss

900, while the Atlantic states, in
cluding Alabama, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Kentucky and Virginia have increas-
ed 1914 900 bales.
The report pointed out that the
average grade was middling and that
the years production was one of the
most even running growths on rec
ord, due to rapidity of picking and
ginning.
Mr.. Hester said he had made an
extensive investigation into the char
acter Of the carryover, his inquiries
being of about July Is. He said Tex
as has little nondescript cotton and
that there were practically no "bol-
lies" in this years crop. Oklahoma
, has been pretty we'll combed of eve
rything below strict low middling to
niddling values, and the supply re-
manning in that state is a good spina-
BILE cotton showing higher average
in grade than at any end season for
the last ten years. Louisiana has lit
tie or no understandable cotton. Ar
kansas reports not over l per cent.
of understandable cotton. Mississip-
pi reports most of its carryover of
fsir grade, spinnable cotton and the
Atlantic states show a very small
percentage of undesirable descrip-
tions.
The report placed the exports of
cotton to foreign ports at 6,322,47O
bales, against 5,797,59O last year
and 6,5Ss,o91 year before last, an
increase over last year of 524,880
and a decrease under the year be.
fore Of 265,621 bales.
Cotton consumption in the South

erican cotton, while consumption in
the North is given as 2,293,000, a
total of 6,234,000 bales, including
linters. IN addition the report said
American mills have consumed $685..
900 bales of foreign cotton, making
the total consumption of American
and foreign growth by American
mills of 6,532,OOO against $4,000
last year.
Mr.. Hester put the worlds con
sumption of American cotton at 12,.
100000 bales against 10,330,00C
last year and 12,670,000 the yeal
before.

GOES BY BOARD-VOTE IN
AUGUST, AS SUGGESTED BY
BOTH SIDES, WILL BE BLOCK
ED.-FIGHT WILL GO ON.

Washington, Aug. 5.-For four
hours yesterday the senate wrang-
led over the Gooding resolution pro-
posing a bspad investigation of the
Interests of senators, newspapers
and others in the passage or defeat
of the pending tariff bill, but action
on it was postponed indefinitely.
Senator Caraway (Democrat) of
Arkansas, who offered the original
resolution proposing an investigation
Of the financial interest if any, Of
senators in the tariff schedules, told
the senate that hs realized the inves
tigation was dead"
A charge by Senator Gooding IRE
publican) of Idaho that Frank A.
Munsey, owner Of the New York
Herald, was opposing the tariff bill
in the interest Of his investments in
Europe and sharp exchanges be
tween Senator Lenroot tRepublican)
Of Wisconsin and Harrison Demo
craft Of Mississippi marked debate
on the resolution. Senator Harrison
insisted that Senator Gooding and
other senators charged in newspa-
pers with having material interest
in the tariff schedules should have
an opportunity to "clear their skirts
Senator Lenroot insisted that the
inquiry proposed would involve large
expenditure and would be without
result.
After the debate on the resolution
died down new proposals for ulan-
imous consent agreement for final
vote on the tariff bill on August IT
were put forward by Senators Nc
Cumber (Republican) of North Da-
kota, in charge of the measure, and
Simmons democrat } of North Car
olina, the minority leader. Senator
Lenroot, whose objection yesterday
prevented such an agreement, stat
ed privately he would not give his
consent to final vote on August IT
or any other date until after import
ant committee amendments had
been disposed of.
The senate finished up committee
amendments on paper and books.
There was only one real controversy
the Democrats making a strenuous
fight against the proposed duty of
35 per cent. ad valorem on stereo-
type matrix material or boards.
Senator Walsh (Democrat) of Mon
tana proposed a substitute 25 per
cent, but this amendment was re-
| jected, % to 1S, and the committee
rate approved.
