Senate Committee Refuses 80.
To Commit Itself On Any
Plan For Muscle Shoals
Ford's Tender Came Nearest
To Receiving Favorable Con-
sideratiOn.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The senate
committee on agriculture refused today to
favor a plan for developing the gov
ernment's S1oe, 100000 project at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, and left the question to be
settled on the senate floor.
All proposals submitted to the COM
Inittee including those Of Henry Ford,
the Alabama Power Company, and that
offered by Senator Norris, committee
chairman for government development
and operations were rejected by majori-
ty of the committee.
Henry Ford's tender came the nearest
to receiving a favorable report. It was
rejected, 9 to T. while the Norris proposal
was voted down, to g. The other Of
fers were disposed of without a record
vote.
Minority Report.
The plans Of Senator Norris and Mr.,
Ford will be submitted to the senate by
their proponets In the form of minority
reeonnn endations Of the committee. Sena-
tor Norris will make a report urging ac-
ceptance OF the government ownership
bill, while Senator Ladd. Republican
North Dakota, viii present the bin be has
already introduced providing for Hncon-
ditional acceptance Of the Ford offer.
NO Final Action.
Failure of committee to favorably re-
port one of the proposals was interpreted
by some senate leaders as tending to bear
out their predictions that the senate
would not take final action before ad-
journment of this congress. Had the
committee approved one of the plans and
a majority of its members supported 1T
for early consideration in the senate. 1t
was said, tshere would have been more
reason to expect the senate to act
quickly.
To Submit Reports.
Senators Norris and Ladd said they
would offer their reports at an early
date Senator Norris expected to con-
clude work on his draft tomorrow and
Senator Ladd said the preparation of his
report would require only a few days. 1t
was suggested that both opinions would
be placed before the senate for its in
formation next week and made available
for publication at the same Time

Text of Letter.
For substantial reasons, the represen-
tatives of the United Mine Workers are
compelled to withhold their acceptance
of the arbitration proposals submitted by
you," the letter to the president said.
1.-THE mine workers desire to point out
that the coal operators who have been in
attendance at the recent conferences as
sembled by you, and to whom you have
submitted the plan for arbitration of the
coal strike, are only partially represen-
tative of the producing interests, affected
by the present suspension of mining.
Operators representing nearly fifty per
cent of the tonnage in strike fields where
production is stopped have not been in
attendance, and we have no information
that the proposed plan of arbitration has
been submitted to them by any govern
ment agency.
No General Statement. NJ

terests have no intention of coming with

WASHINGTON, July 15.-President

In the railroad strike situation, but the

government officials to be serious. will
remain undetermined until early next

to Washington from Chicago for the
conference, and with Fred L. Feick.
legislative representative OF the same
organization.
The results of this conference as an

were that the president received for
the first time direct information as to
the workers side os the controversy
and was afforded for the first time an
opportunity to present direct to a
recognized representative of the en-

Our primary reason for seeing the
president was to impress upon him the
necessity Of calling a conference be-

ecutives in order to stop the spread
of the strike. We feel that this is the
only way to ease the situation. and L
believe it would be effective.

BANNER SPORT YEAR
| EXPECTED OF 1922,
| SAY ATHLETIC HEADS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Sport, both
amateur and professional, will reach
plane of popularity during 1922 never
touched in the past, according to the
expressed opinions of athletic leaders.
Regardless of the outpouring Of mill
ions of spectators and contestants in
the games OF the past IL months, it is
the unanimous belief of those best
qualified to gauge the development OF
sport, that the coming season will wit
ness new records in interest, partlct-
patton and attendance.
That these opinions are based upon
substantial grounds is shown by the
rapidly increasing list of important
contests, both intersectional, national
and international, which are being add
ed to the 1922 sport schedules. Inter
national tennis, golf, yachting and
track meets are already in the max
ing; numerous intersectienal football
games have been carded and there will
be a wider increase in entries for var
ious national championships, both nu-
merically and geographically, than in
the past.
From all sections of the nation
comes the report that interest in sport
is steadily growing; the formation OF
new interscholastic and intercollegiate
associations: wider participation in
games; the development, physically, OF
the youth of the land and the belief
that sport in the broadcast application
of the word will be a growing factor in
the history of America for decades to
