MINE UNION TO AID
COAL FACT FINDING
Report to Commission Hits
Absentee Ownership and
Middlemen's Profits.

A report containing comment and
suggestions outlining the unions
idea of how the United States coal
fact finding commission should con-
duct it's investigation and the objec-
tives to be attained has been filed
with the commission by a commit
tee representing the United Mine
Workers of America. The report Is
signed by Ellis Searles, editor OF the
United Mine Workers Journal.
Absentee ownership of coal mining
areas, the intrusion of prof1t-taking
middlemen in marketing, regulation
of coal production and the survey Of
transportation and storage facilities
available for coal distribution. the
report emphasized, should be investi-
gated by the commission. On a num-
Der of subjects about which the COM
mission asked views the commit
tee withheld comment, asking further
that all available information would
be presented when called for.
Absentee Ownership Evil.
1.-THE commission, through its own
avenues. should investigate the ex-
tent to which absentee ownership
prevails in the coal industry the
report said. I'VE believe this is an
strained relations and unfortunate
conditions which exist in the indus
try. We believe that the commission
should ascertain why it is that the
price of coal to the domestic con-
sumer Is always higher than the price
to railroads and other large pur-
chaSerS We believe this line would
be developed If the commission would
inquire into railroad coal contracts
and the methods by which such con-
tracts are made"
In seeking production cost figures,
the report suggested the commission
should take up the question of invest
ment to see whether capitalization
is water upon which the coal con-
sumer is required to pay interest and
dividends" as well as wages.
Annual Earnings Stressed.
"The commission should ascertain
the actual mine cost of production"
it added, "and then compare that cost
with the price which the consumer
pays, and find out who gets the money
represented by those two figures"
On the point of large costs the
committee asked the commission to
consider the account of representative
mines In all sections Of the country
and to refrain from giving conclu-
sfve consideration to the rate Of
wages of the mine worker per day,
but consider the amount of his annual
earnings"
Irregularity of production, waste Of
coal in mining operations and trans
portation methods, 1t was declared,
put heavy charges against coal pro-
duction and deserve attention.

GENOA, April 22.-The rift in the
economic conference caused by Frances
attitude brought from Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain tonight the
declaration to his fellow delegates that
he was disgusted with the petty squab-
bles and obstructionist tactics prevail
ing at the conference, and that unless
these were stopped and the conference
got down to work he would be COM
pelled TO tell the world the reason for
these daily crises and objectionable de-
lays
Without mentioning the French,
Lloyd George left no doubt in the
minds Of his hearers that it was to
them he was referring when he said
he would be forced TO name the dele
gates responsible for the situation.
Lloyd George made it plain that his
patience had been sorely tried by the
Developments of yesterday and to-day
and explained there was no assurance
further storms might not break at
any time
French Protest Minimized
The French protest to the German
reply that was the cause of the crisis
last night and to-day was rot re-
garded in British conference circles rs
anything more than an attempt BY
Poincare to strengthen the French
position. They did not believe at any
time that the French delegation in
tended to withdraw from the negotia-
tions, but in the interests of harmony
the delegates were ready to go to con-
siderable lengths in meeting the
French point of view.
Lloyd George called a meeting of the
British delegation this morning and
went over the German reply in some
detail finding it entirely satisfactory.
1t was not until this afternoons ses-
sion with the other powers that he
ages to which exception might be
taken. He and the other British dele
gates were convinced that the Ger
man treaty with Russia did not violate
the terms of the Versailles pact, but
they saw no harm in asking Germany
to clarity the questions raised.
Foreign Minister Schanzer of italy
also had found the German reply en-
tirely satisfactory, although he raised
no objection to the French request that
the ambiguous passages be explained.

French, raised objections also to the
