POLITICIANS SEEK
 TO AVERT STRIKE
Fear Tie-Up of Coal Whining Would Hurt Chances for Reelection
 Harding Seeking Peace.

Washington, March TO prevent the threatened coal strike is the earn est wish of President Harding and the entire cabinet.
 The strike menace was discussed at length at today's cabinet meeting It was the unanimous conclusion that all the available machinery of govern ment should be utilized to avert such an industrial disturbance.
 First, it was decided the govern ment should demand that the operat- CTS and miners keep the faith pledged in the agreement reached in 1919 that they would confer over a new con- tract before the existing contract ex- pired April l.
 The president in view of this de- cision, directed Secretary Of Labor Davis to notify the operators and min CT in the central competitive field that the government expects them to live up to that provision of the. existing a. greement.
 Secretary Davis is communicating tonight with the operators and min CTS, urging them to arrange a joint conference. Details of his plans for bringing about the conference were not announced.
 Politicians Worried.
 What effect such strike might have upon political conditions next summer and fall is a subject of anx-, iety to senators and representatives who are aspirants for renomination and who would be candidates for re- election in November. They do not relish the prospect of paralyzed in dutries and transportation with con- sequent unemployment and general unrest, which would be certain to follow in the wake of a strike of the: miners
 It would be certain to have it's eff fects in the primaries, also in the elec- tion to follow. Hence the Republi- cans, particularly, are very apprehen- sive. Any of them who feel that they can have any influence to avert a strike will exert it. Some of them will use their influence with the op- orators Others will approach the miners officials.
 They know that big strike right now might result in overturning the Republican majority in the House. They do not want such a thing to hap pen in the middle of the Harding ad- ministration which has many legisla tive plans to accomplish in the next 'Congress. "

Roy Budd Enthusiastic
 Over the Cotton Plan

Roy Budd, who is one of the direc- tors of the Arkansas Cotton Associa
 tiOn, grows more enthusiastic over the plan as he is brought in closer touch with it. The directors at their meetings are gathering information from all sources that will be useful in handling the biggest business in the state. MT. Budd foresees the time in the not far distant future when 9S per cent of all the cotton grown in the South will be in the pool. He believ- es that all that is lacking now is an understanding by the general public of just what the plans are and what they mean to the cotton grower and the business men of the. country. He believes that later on the directors might be able to present concrete plans and purposes and place them in the hands of every business man and banker. After this the idea will be spread to every individual Those counties that are still out, said MT. Budd, are out simply because they could not be reached by workers to explain the plan. MT. Budd told of v'h1t he had learned about the success of tte Kentucky tobacco growers on the last years crop. They were as badly demoralized as the cotton grow CT. The pooling plan has placed them on their feet and they are selling their tobacco direct to the big manufactur- CTS at double and better than the old price to the growers. At the same time the manufacturer is not paying more than it cost him before. The waste. or costs and profits between the grower and manufacturer is be- ing saved. The whole crop is being sold in one small room where before it was bought by hundreds of buyers travelling all over the tobacco belt The time will come when the cotton crop of state can be bought ready graded by a conference in one room with the directors of the association and the spinners of the world,

TREATY DEBATE IS
 OPENED IN SENATE
Lodge Leads Proponents and Reed Heads Opp0sitiOn-Robinson
 Against Pact.

Washington, March S-Friends and opponents of ths four-power Pacific treaty in the Senate met in their first general skirmish today at a four-hour stormy session which touched on ev- cry disputed question Of the arms conference program.
 Senator Lodge, Republican leader and member of the American arms conference delegation, told the Senate that the four-power pact had it's main purpose in abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. and that if ratification is defeated, it means failure of the conference"
 Senator Reed, Democrat of Missouri replied that either the treaty con- templated more than MT. Lodge had admitted or else it was farce and piece of international bunk um.' If the national policies of Great Britain and Japan were such as to make continuance of the Anglo-Jap- anese alliance real menace to the United States, he said, no promise to consult in future controversies would be worth the paper it was written on.
 Robinson in Opposition.
 Support of the treaty was expressed Florida, while Senators Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas; Watson, Demo- by Senator Fletcher, Democrat of crat, Georgia; Borah, Republican, Idaho, and France, Republican, Mary Hand, joined with Senator Reed in at tacking it. The debate eventually in volved discussion of all the arms con ference treaties and resulted in sever- al spirited clashes
 Senator Reed cross-questioned Sen ator Lodge on the celebrated differ ence of view between President Harding and the American delegation as to application of the four-power pact to the homeland of Japan. Lodge said that there had been no under standing" among the delegates for in clusion of the homeland, and that the supplemental treaty on that subject had been signed because Japan had asked for a change in the original agreement.

RAILROADS IN PLEA
 AGAINST CUT IN RATES
Final Stage of Hearing Before Inter- state Commerce Commission
 Is Begun Today.

Washington, March S.-The inter- state commerce commission investi- gating present freight~ rate levels, entered it's final stage today when counsel for all the railroads of the United States and most of the busi- ness and shipping interets began summing up of evidence taken during three months of hearings. For the railroads, which were given the op- ening argument, Henry Wolf Bikle of the Pennsylvania system, declar- ed that the evidence had proved a general rate reduction impossible
 Resting his argument on the sec tions of the transportation act which fix six per cent return as reason able MT. Bikle said the earning pow CT of the railroads by actual experi- ence during 1921 amounted t,o 3.3 per cent on their investment and that considering only the last six months of 1921 when wage decreases and oth- CT decreased operating expenses were effective the earnings were 449 per cent.
 "The showing is that while expens- es of railroad operations have been to some extent diminished" MT. Bikle said, they have not been di- unfinished to such an extent as to permit further general reductions in rails unless these reductions are pre- ceded by reductions in wages"
 No greater blow to the credit of the carriers, to the improvement of transportation or renewed purchasing power of carriers or check to in- dustrial activity could be imagined than an order for general reduction of rates," Fred H. Wood, general attorney of the Southern Pacific de- clared. "The maintenance even of present earnings and of the present upward tendency, is involved in much doubt and uncertainty The credit and financial condition of the car riers has been maintained during the period through the hope of bet ter conditions for the future. When the figures for January 1922, the first month which reflects the cumulative effects of rate, wage and price re- auctions are taken into account, the utter lack of wisdom, not to say il legality of roads reducing rates, be- comes manifest"
 Other speakers asserted that the cnly certain result from rate reduc- tions would be to drive back the car riers to "a position as bad as that which faced them at the end of fed eral control"

HERMAN ". BROWN DIES
 SUDDENLY THURS. NIGHT
We'll Known AshdOWn Young Man SuccOmbed to Heart Failure
 Funeral Saturday.

Herman w. Brown of this city, ap- parently in the best of health, died very suddenly Thursday night at a. bout ten o'clock from heart failure. The death occurred at the home of c. s. Cobb. The news came as a shock to the community and the many friends of the deceased and family. MT. Brown was about Il s usual busi- ness all day Thursday. He was in the News office in the afternoon, where he met a party from Texarkana and talked over some business mat ters. He went to the home of his wife's parents, MT. and Mrs. G. S. Cobb, where he and Mrs. Brown were staying and helping to look after the several members of the family while they were i'll. He ate hearty supper at 6 o'clock and remarked that the bad day had given him good appe- tite. At about ten o'clock he retired. In short time he became i'll, rose and washed his face and again lay down and died within twenty minu- tes and in about three minutes after the arrival of the doctor. So far as is known he had never suffered with his heart before. The deceased was 31 years of age and is survived by a wife father and mother and sisters, who live at Gibsland, La.
 It is announced that the funeral will be held from the Methodist church Saturday at 2 o'clock. The final service at the grave will be in charge of the Knights Templar of which order he was a member. The deceased was a member of the Blue Lodge Masons, Royal Arch Chapter, Council, Knights Templar and the Shriners.
 Herman Brown was born and rear ed in Gibsland, La, the only son of MT. and Mrs. D. P. Brown of that city He entered the railway service num- per or years ago. In the early part of 1918 he was transferred to Ash : down as clerk of the local Kansas City Southern office He later went over to the Frisco. About year ago he bought transfer business here and has been in that business since. He was married to Miss Lavada Cobb of this city in October, 1919. During the time that he has lived here he has made a host of friends. He was a man that could be depended upon as worthy of any confidence or business responsibility, and stood four square in his fraternal obligations and with the vital issues of life. He went his quiet unassuming way doing his work and filling a place in the community that will miss him.
