The first ot these reports will be that of the "committee." submitted by Acting Chairman Mckenzie on au- tLority of a majority of the mem bers. It will recommend the accep- tance of the Ford offer with the Corgas steam plant of the govern ment eliminated. It is entirely un- acceptable to Ford.
 Wrights Report
 The second will be the report or the smin ority members practically all of them democratic.

He Is willing to bear the brunt or litigation to be instituted by the Ala bama Power company in the event the minority report is adopted.
 Opposed to Ford
 The third will be submitted py Representative Parker of New Jcr- SOY. It will bear at least one other signature.

It is indicated that the divergence of the views oi the members of the committee VIII bring about an identical situation m the House. The situation for long time will be chaotic, 1t is indicated.

 By such cooperation" he said. T feel sure we can save the public from runaway prices such as we witnessed in 1920 thus saving to them several dollars per ton-of more interest that questions of 25 cents or 50 cents
 Attacking the retailers proposf- tion for an advance of S1.50 q ton on coal to householder MT Hoover chaI ged that you have ignored the great decrease of differentlal in favor of the householder than has been suggested by me to the opera tors" adding that increases in prices since the strike has been largely for run of mlne coal. He was glad. he continued. to note the statement confirming that retailers have large stocks of pre-strike coal which he urged should be reserved for the smaller householders selling
  and that contrary course would be very unfair to the consumer and consutute at least moral prefiteer- ing"
 No Price Fixed
 Mir. Hoover eontended that there had been no price fixed for coal but that the operators were requested to carry out his proposal that Gar- field prices for run of mine coal should be the basis for computing sales prices. with such adjustment as are necessary tn include the wholesale selling costs, changed l conditions at the mines and othel factors that.wtll be fair to tho pub. l lie and to the opefatsrs and NH maintain production of coal Any agreement to adhere to this he added, "is a moral agreement be- tween each operator and myself
 Wholesalers Mir. Hoover announc- cd today, have arranged among themselves to continue doing busi- ness on pre-strilSe basis.

 Restored
By Associated Press

London, June S.-Operations de- signed to clear the Pettlgoe- -Belleck triangle in Ulster have been com pleted with the occupation of Bell leek by the British forces today. and unless the troops are attacked there will be no advance. Therefore there is no reason for further fighting, according to an official communica- tion issued by the colonial office to- night.
 With the object of preventing bloodshed tho forces have been cut out of all proportion to the resist ance and, says the communique, the comparatively bloodless result justi- fled the precautions.
 The British government intends to withdraw the British forces within Ulster territory, it is added, as soon as 1t is sufficiently assured of the unlikelihood of a repetition of the in- cursions and raids which have dis turbed the area and communications to this end and for the restoration of tranquility on this part of the frontier have been addressed to the provisional government

SEWING MACHINES REMOVED ROM
 TAR|FFFREEL|ST
Senate Refuses to Accept Committee Rate onPrinting Presses Underwood Says
 G. 0. P. Fears Press
Rr Associated Press

Washington, June 8.-After a two- days fight the Senate voted today to remove sewing machines and cash registers from the tariff free list. Committee rates ranging from 25per cent ad valorem to 40 per cent on these machines and 25 per cent on cash registers were approved.
 The Senate also refused to accept the committee rate of 3a per cent ad valorem. on printing presses lawn mowers and machine tools and adopted, 2S to 27. an amendment by Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan- sas. cutting that rate to 15 per cent.
 This was the fourth time the com mittee had been overturned in the six weeks the tariff bill has been under consideration. Seven republicans joine dwith the solid democratic mi- nority in supporting the Robinson amendment They were Borah. Kel- logE, Ladd, LaFollette, Lenroot, Nell son and Norris.
 Imports Negligible
 Senator Lenroot. one of the leaders on the majority side, gave notice to the committee that he would not sup port 1t in recommendation to in crease existing rates in cases where it was shown, as he said 1t had been in this instance. that imports were negligible and exports large.
 An amendment by Senator Walsh, democrat Massachusetts, to restore cash registers to the free list, led to a long discussion. but 1t was re- jected. 27 to 32. Five republicans Capper. Kellogg, LaFoilette, Lenroot and Norris-joined the solid minority in supporting the amendment. A pro- posal to restore sewing machines to the free list was defeated last night
 Reopening the debate on the cash register amendment. Senator Under wood of Alabama. the democratic leader, said the proposition to put a tax on them was unconscionab1e and was for he purpose of raising the prices to American consumers.
 Calling attention that in the free list provision of the law linotype ma chimes were named along with sew ing machines and cash registers, Senator Underwood said he could not understand why the committee left linotype machines on the free list since the amount of labor entering into their construction was much greater than that entering into the making of cash register.
 Challenge Press
 "I cannot understand why" he con- tinued, except that possibly the com mittee believed 1t had reached one adversary it was afraid of. They were not afraid to put sewing machines. which the women use in the homes, on the dutiable list. but they did nor Hare challenge opposition of the great Ar erican press"

 been ''f0oied" by the operators
 into approving maximum fair

 Some of the senators have beer misinformed, Mir Hoover said, by misleading statements from a small group of retail dealers who objec strenuously to any attempt to restrai prices
 Mir. Hoover declared the retaile 2, had advised the same figures to h n as he had to the senators in keepinl the coal prices down. and made pu Jli, his reply to Homer D.

 Assuming from the association statement that II was opposed to any governmental policy controlling the production or distribution of coal Mr Hoover expressed the belief that the association does not wish to co. operate in the prevention of prof. teering In this time of emergency and that such a change of view after recent promises of co-operatioi did not represent the vast majorlt, Iof retail coal dealers of the counfr, who are making every effort, hi said, to supply their customers with out unusual profits.
