Washington. Aug. 19.-Congress
today was disposed to denv Presi-
den. Harding's request in his strike
message for government coal
agency. to buy. sell and distribute
coal in Interstate commerce.
Powerful interests that have al
ways ouposed any step which appear
ed likely to be the forerunner OF
government control and operation
clearly indicated that the Presidents
suggestion would be fought.
Congress. according TO careful
survey. will approve the other recon-
mendations of the President. These
include coal commission to make
complete investigation Of the IN
dustry in the hope Of finding a per-
mament solution for the recurring
mine strikes; and legislation giving
the federal government the right to
step in and punish those responsl-
hle for such outbreaks as tho recent
Herrin. H.. massacre by authorizing
federal courts to nrotect the treaty
riphts Of aliens. Two Mexicaps were
said to have been killed at Herrin.
The "coal agency" as Mr.. Harding
called it.. would have much greater
nowcr than the coal commission. The
latter would be empowered only TO
INVESTIGATE and gather facts about
the coal industry as basis for legls-
lation or for the fixing Of fair basis
of wares. But the agency" 1t was
poinfed out. would nut the govern
mont actually into the coal business.
Government money would be employ
cd In hnv and sell coal, under the
Presidents suggestion. In fact a 81
gantic coal pool to control prices
would be created.
Opposition to this idea was not
confined to those groups in the house
and senate who always reflect the
wishes of the so-called "biP business
interests. Members of the farm blocs
in both bodies. and in fact, all except
a fow senator's and representatives
whose districts might expect lmme--
diate and direct benefit. expressed
disapproval Members from north
western states, where the fuel situa-
ton is rapidly approaching the crl-
tical stage. are willing to vote Tor
anv leoislation that gives promise
of preventing a fuel famine in their
communities.
Little difficulty would be experience
ed in either house with the coal COM
mission hill, although it might take
considerable time to get even that
through committees. on account OF the
desire of mer'bers tn get away from
Washington. In the House the Bland
nil. creating such a commission, can
be acted upon at anv time, it having

TARIFF VOTE
SET FOR TODAY
Senate Starts Vote at Four
O'clock Under Unanim-
Gus Consent
Conceded BY Democrats That The
Bill Will Pass BY Fair Sized Mar
gin.
nv TnIteL Press.l

Washington, Aug. 19.-The long
and bitter fight in the senate over
the Fordney -McCumber tariff bill
ends today.
Nearly 13 months ago. July 81,
1921, to be exact, the House passed
the measure and sent it to the senate.
-Four months ago today the senate
began to consider it and since then
it has been continuously before that
body.
Under terms of the special unanim-
Gus consent agreement, adopted last
Saturday, the Senate at four o'clock
must start voting on the measure,
without further debate.
That the bill would be passed by
fair-Sized margin was conceded by
even the staunchest Democratic op-
ponentS, as they prepared the final,
but apparently futile onslaught
lgainSt the few pending amend
mentS.
Republican leaders declared they
would not lose more than three or
four of their number at the most. On
the other hand. it was believed this
margin might be Offset by a revolt
of a like number of Democrats, who
frequently have voted with Repub-
licans on the major schedules of the
bill.
Passage of the bill will increase
the cost of living in the United States
more than $1,000,000,000, minority
spokesman asserted as the zero
hour approached.
The American wOrkmen will be
able to maintain higher standard of
living. and American industry will en-
ter into its most prosperous era in
history. retorted Republican chiefs.
The bill is almost complete re-
vision of the measure as passed by
the House.
In the majority of instances the
duties have been increased over the
rates adopted in the lower chamber.
This is true of the basic commodl-
ties such as wool, sugar, cotton, steel
chemicals, Democrats said.
Three new items were inserted by
the senate. The foremost was TO
grant the executive broad powers to
change rates, if, after investigation
by the tariff commission, he finds
that the differences in the costs of
production here and abroad warrant
change.
Another was the establishment of
free trade zone. at the large ports
of entry in theJUnited States, where
raw materials can be manufactured
and shipped out without payments OF
+ customs. This does away with the

The bill will be sent to conference
Immediately with 2,0S7 amendments

STRIKE SITUATION
Try United Press.)

L
Washington, Aug. 19.-Outstand-
ing points of President Harding's

Immediate creation of federal

Soon as Poles Reach Here Work Will
Be Started-l2 Iron Poles, 80 Feet

The delay in building the white

of seven squares, is due to the
failure of the necessary equipment

today by f. A. Feldkeller, snperln-
tendent of the Alexandria Light and
Power Company.
According to Mr.. Feldkeller all of
the ecr 2ment except the poles have
arrived. The poles have been ship
ped and are now on the road and
their delay is due to the railroad
strike.
Just as soon as the poles arrive
the work of building the white way
will be begun. The first thing TO De
done will be the putting IN position
There are a total of forty-two iron
poles thirtv-five feet high. These
poles come in three sections, elght,
seven ard six inches in diameter and
they will take the places of the IN
slightly wooden poles which now line
King street. and which have long
since proved an eyesore on that
thoroughfare. Wires of the various
