House Bill
PROVIDES NEW HEAD
Debate is Marked b. Attack on Forbes
and Spirited Defense OF HIS
Stand

Washington, April An appro-
priation of $l7,000,000, to be used in
providing additional hospital faclll-
ties for war veterans. would be au-
thorized by a bill passed late yeSter,
day by the House without record
vote. The measure now goes to the
Senate.
BY a viva-voce vote the House re-
iected an amendment by Representa-
tive Kindred, Democrat, New York, to
increase the appropriation to S35,OOO,-
coo.
The bill, drafted by Chairman Lang
ley, of the Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee. would pdaCe the
director of the Veterans Bureau in
charge of all activities which would
grow out of passage of the measure,
including selection Of sites, plans for
new buildings and for the remodel
ing of existing structures designated
to be converted into hospitals and
constructive work.
At present the Treasury Depart
ment architect supervises the planning
of new hospitals for war veterans and
their construction.
After an up-and-down fight the
House rejected by a record vote of l67
to 1871, an amendment by Chairman
Madden, Of the Appropriations Com
mittee. which would have placed eX-
pediture of the fund carried in the
bill in the hands of the President,
with authority to designate whatever
Government agency he saw fit TO su-
pervise the planning of additional
hospitals and construction work.
The amendment had ben adopted by
eliminated just prior to passage of
a standing vote of SO to 81 and was
the bill on a roll call demanded by
Mr.. Langley, who was opposed to ITS
adoption, Last-minute rejection of the
substitute threw the house into par
iiamentary tangle which consumed
more than an hours time.
Many amendments were offered, but
for the most part they were rejected
OF those adopted, one by Representa- e.
tive Williamson, Republican, South
Dakota, would give the President au-
thority, by Executive order, to trans
fer to the Veterans Bureau buildings
under the jurisdiction of other Gov
ernment departments, bat no longer
Government departments, but no long
or used by them. The bureau direct
ed would have authority to remodel
such buildings for use as hospitals.

The most widespread strike in the
history of the American coal industry
arrived with the first of April.
I'm dramatic fufilmeut of the
United Mine Workers prediction, al

erS prepared TO stay out until the
strike committee orders them back
TO work. Only in certain kentucky
mines, where there are contracts not
vet expired. according To late reports,
nave the miners forecasts failed tn
come true.
This is the case with the union
mines. To wide extent IT is true of
non-union fields as well, although IN
those fields where there are no central
agencies to speak for either operators
or miners early reports are neces-
sarily incomplete.
Hard and soft coal mines alike are
now idle. and around 100000 men who
worked Yesterday will not work today.
The strike got under way calmly
and up 10 a late hour there had de-
veloped no disturbance rooted IN or
ganized effort at disorder. The men
sauntered out as unconcernedly as
though knocking off only for the day.
Such preparations as had been made
i'm expectations Of violence were found
unnecessary for the present.
The Federal Government has taken
no action. This is because the Ad-
ministration feels that, with full seven
weeks needs Tor coal assured by the
stocks hastily mined i'm recent weeks,
there is "a vet no emergency which
seriously threatens seriously public
welfare.
The indication is that these primary
aspects Of the strike will be follow
ed promptly by secondary circum-
stances likely to pyramid into a ma
tional situation Of serious proportions.

Labor generally is clearly behind the
miners. 80 sympathetic strikes have
developed and it is moi At all certain
that any will develop. Labor leaders,
however. regard the mine operators
refusal to meet with the employees as
primarily a test inflated by employees
generally. They feel that if the mine
operators win the dispute with their
men other employees will initiate wage

President W A. SmOOt's Report
To the Annual Meeting
Chamber OF Commerce,
Alexandria, Virginia:

To the Annual Meeting
Chamber OF Commerce,
Alexandria, Virginia:
Gentlemen
The entire membership of the
Chamber of Commerce should feel
very much gratifed over the actual
work done during the past year, and
over the fact that our organization Is
becoming better able to play a big and
useful part i'm our city'S affairs each
year.
The detailed activities of the year
will be reported TO you by our business
manager and our Secretary-treaSurer'
and I will only state that such part
as we were able to take in bringing
about the council-manager form OF
city government; the conclusion, after
several years of hard work, of the
planS to secure u modern highway 10
the finest farming section of Virginia
and the assurance of 4 modern street
lighting system, stand out as the most
important accomplishments of the
wear in my mind.
The splendid team work of our en-
tire organization; the fine cO-operS-
tion of Mayor Duncan and many 9th
er city officials; the unqualified sup
port of The Alexandria Gazette and
the loyal and untiring efforts of our
business manager and secretary
treasurer have made 4 very success
full year possible. and have made my
part in this work 50 pleasant that |
want to take this opportunity to eN-
press my deep appreciation for all of
these things.
There are many bigger and more
substantial things in the immediate
future for Alexandria than most of Us
realize, and we should take an az
gressive part in all Of them, and seek
to actively cooperate with the city
government and all organizations and
institutions who are working TO bulic
up and improve our city.
Respectfully submitted.

The report of thet secretary Is

of the details of the business Of the
Chamber, not included in the report
of the president aul business man
ager.
II has been one of the busiest years
ever experienced by this Chamber. and
it's activities are reflected in the num-
Der and varieties of meetings held.
The number of different organizations
or movements who have used our
rooms number 52 this year, as conf
pared with 81 using it the preceding
wear, an incrase of 10 per cent.
The following statistics cover the
period from March II, 1921, TO March
lS, 1922, inclusive. During that time
$50 meetings were held in the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce. These
meetings were as follows:
