 TO GET TOGETHER

BELFAST, May 22-While no off cial announcement has come forth from the Dail Eireann since that body convened in an effort to agree on a truce between the divergent factions in southern Ireland, pending the con- ing elections, it is authoritatively stat ed here, that the contending forces have at last reached basis of un- derstanding.

DR. BAIN WILL
 MAKE STUDY
 COAL AND OIL

Dr. H. Foster Bain, Director of the Federal Bureau of Mines, was in Cor dova last night, on his way to An chorage to make a two weeks study of the Matanuska coal fields recently turned over by the Navy Department to the Interior Department. The re- suit of his observations will deter mine whether the government will di- rect the operation of the mines on a visit of MT. Bain the collier Jason will call at the Matanuska fields for cargo of coal which will be discharged, together with 600 tons from the Der ing River fields at Bremerton. The battleship Texas will coal at Bremen ton navy yard and make test of the coals received from Alaska. Upon the result of MT. Bain's report and the test of the Texas will determine the development of the Alaska Coal Fields,
 MT. Wimmier, Dr. Bain said, will
 
 leave early in June on the first steam CT sailing for Nome and will spend about two years in the north, visiting, among other fields, those of the Kus- kokwim, which are little known com pared to those first discovered in Alaska.
 Explaining the purpose of his trip to Alaska Dr Bain said it was under taken principally for the purpose of preparing a report for the guidance of the Interior Department in plans for the future development of the Matanuska coal fields. Dr. Bain will spend about six weeks in Alaska, and after making his study of the Matanus- ka coal will go to Katalla oil fields, where he will make an investigation of petroleum deposits that are believed to have large possibilities, but upon which only small development work has been done.
 He will visit Fairbanks and other Yukon River mining fields and if con- ditions permit will return to Seattle by the Yukon River route, perhaps making a side trip to Nome.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-One of the ever recurrent White House dinners, with which President Harding enter tains his guests when he wishes to talk over affairs of national import ance with business men and states men, was held Saturday night, when the President had at his table, nine teen of the leading railroad executives fthe country. The culinary depart ment of the White House must be ex- cellently managed, for the President unfailingly succeeds in getting. his guests into the proper frame of mind after dining, to fall in with his views on the public questions to be decided, As a result of Saturdays conference, the President made direct request to the railroads for a greater degree Of cooperation between the larger roads and the Interstate Commerce Commits sion. The purpose of the request for cooperation was to bring about re- duction of railroad rates. The confer ence agreed with the President that the ends sought were highly desirable, and a committee of prominent rail road men was appointed to take up the matter further.

 IN EUROPE

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Official discussion in this city continues to center about the results of the Genoa conference and the probabilities of substantial achievements to be se- cured at the conference subsequent meeting called for The Hague on June 15 next.
