FOREIGN Debt
BOARD Meets
LAST OF APRIL
Acceptances to Call to Wash
ingtOn Received From
Allied Debtors
FORMS PRECEDENT
Plan For Britain Taken as Model
Burton and SmOot Opposed by Only
Three Republicans

Washington, April 6-The highly
important business of funding the
foreign debt of the United States
will begin before the end of April,
according to semi-official informa-
ton and will continue until the work
is finished.
Invitations to the debtor Govern
ments to name commissioners who are
to sit with the American Commits
sion created by Congress have gone
forth. and it is learned that responses
have been received from virtually all
the Governments involved. Word has
reached Washington, moreover, that
the British group will leave London
in time to arrive i'm America, prob
ably during the last week of April.
1t is learned also that recent
poll in the Senate discloses the fact
that only three Republicans members
are standing out against the contrma-
ton of Senator Smoot, Of Utah, and
Representative Burton, Of Ohio. the
two Legislators whom the President
named 10 be members of the Refund
ing Commission along with Secretar-
les Mellon, Hughes and Hoover.
The majority Senators who are OPP
posed to the confirmation of MesSrs.
Smoot and Burton are Borah, Brande-
gee and Morris, ali of them members
of the Senate subcommittee which re-
ported adversely upon the nomna-
tons.
The three Cabinet officials who are
members of the commission have pro
visionaly agreed upon a program Tor
dealing with the debtor nations, once
the commissioners from abroad ar
rive. A Joint meeting will be held. at
which time the provisions Of the Re
funding Commission act will be eX-
Inlained 20 the Foreigners. and the hmi-
tati1ns within which the Americans
NAV function will be defined.
After that procedure it is now eX-
pected that the Americans will 90 INTO
conference with the British group and
will deal with the British debt before
approaching the other obligations. Ac-
ton in the case OF the British will be
made a precedent foy dealing with
the debts of the other nations whose
demand notes the United States holds.
Although there has been delay IN
formally organizing American com
MISSION. due to the failure Of the Sen
ate promptly to confirm the nomna-
ton of Senator Smoot and Representa-
tive Burton, the three Cabinet mem
bers Of that body have proceeded with
the business in hand rs far as it was
deemed proper. incidentally, these
three commissioners have gone over
various phases Of the refunding prob
lem with the two legislators informal

eventually they, too, will be confirmed

Mine owners
ARE DEAF TO
HOUSE PLEA
Rejection Of Conference In
dicated by Reports From
Two Fields
SILENT ON REPLIES
Committee Head Has Nothing to Say
Operators Said tC Regard Members
as Hostile to Thrm.

Washington, April Coal opera
tres are turning a deaf ear to the sug
gestion of the House Labor Committee
| that they agree TO meet the striking
miners in conference here next Mon
| day, press reports indicated.
Dispatches from Cleveland late yes
terday said the members Of the Pitts
burgh Vein Operators Association
had turned down the request. Advices
from Terre Haute. Ind, were to the
effect that the Indiana operators
would not agree to meet the miners
unless the entire central competitive
field compromising Western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, were
represented.
Chairman Nolan, of the Labor Com
mittee, said yesterday afternoon that
he had received replies from several
of the operators to his invitation to
the conference, but that ne would not
indicate their nature until replies
were in hand from all the operators
invited. He thought perhaps the COM
mittee would be able to state the nat
ure OF the replies today.
From sources close to the coal in
dustry it was confidently believed the
majority Of the operators would not
go into the proposed conference. The
coal people in Washington think the
conference idea is dead.
Their theory is that If President
Harding, through the Department of
Labor, could not bring the coal oper-
ators into joint wage conference
with the miners, to cover the whole m
duStry. the operators certainly will
refuse to 90 into such conference
within less than 4 week after the cal
ling of the strike, at the demand Of a
committee of the House OF ReprcSen-
tativeS.
The decision cf the operators not
to enter a conference their friends
say. was made after complete canTass
of the whole situation. They meas
ured the effects OF refusing TO conform
to the wishes Of the Administration.
especially after the Administration
had said that it felt that the opera
tors were bound under written cor
tract 10 90 into the conference.
It would he foolish now, t is said.
IN oncles friendly to the operators, to
co into anv general ware conferen""
but il would be particularly foolish
TO go into one under The auspices Of
the Deuartment Of Labor, it is bold
would be much better For the Labor
Cowmittee of the House is REGARDED

~. with the possible exception OF one
member
Operators complain that THROUGH
ont the hearings on the Bland resolu-
tion members Of the committee have
been ut no mains to conceal their par
tiality for the side Of the miners. 0H-
orators on the stand it is said. have
