TARIFF BILL
NTBACK TO
CONFERENCE
House Revolts Against Con-
ferees Writing Dye Embargo
and Potash Duty Into Bill.
REPUBLICANS ARE
GIVEN GOOD JOLT
Four Democrats Vote Against
Sending Bill Back-Chairman
McCumber Optimistic.
(ey The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - Revolving
against the action of the conferees in
writing back into the administration tar
if bill dye embargo licensing provis-
ion and a duty on potash, the house late
today sent that measure back to confer
ence. It's managers were instructed to
accept senate amendments repeating the
existing dye embargo and placing potash
on the free list
Some Republican house leaders, plainly
surprised and disappointed, were pessi-
mtstic as to what the result of the house
action would be. Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming, the floor leader, said
he did not know what the outcome would
be, while Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee, said it looked
doubtful whether there would be a bin at
this session of congress. Chairman Nc
Cumber, of the senate managers, took a
more optimistic view, however. stating
that the senate would agree to another
conference and that the differences would
be adjusted speedily.
The vote in the house was lit to 80,
with 102 Republicans, "A Democrats and
one Socialist voting in support of the mo-
ton by Representative Garner, Den-L
crat, Texas, to recommit and 126 Repub-
licans and four Democrats voting against
it. The vote followed day of parlia-
mentary wrang1ing and sharp debate and
announcement of the result by Speaker
Gillette was greeted by applause on both
sides of the chamber and with loud
cheers from many OF the Democrats.
Most of the Republicans voting for the
Garner motion are from the western ag-
ricultural states and New York, with a
majority Of them opposing both the dye
embargo provision and the duty on pot
ash. Other sections Of the BILL however,
came in for sharp criticism from the
Republican side and some leaders re-
garded present sentiment in the house
as divided as to make doubtful the
fate Of the measure.
Apparently the move of Representative
Garner, the ranking Democrat on the
committee, which framed the original
tariff to include potash in his motion to
recommit, took the managers Of the bill
by surprise.
In announcing that he would offer the
motion, Mr.. Garner declared the potash
duty was scandal and charged that
It had been placed in the bill Sin order
that certain interests in the state of Utah
may have an opportunity to rob the far
mers at the rate of $40 ton for the pot
ash they hold. He added that Repub1i-
cans from the farming sections might
successfully defend their vote for the
bill with the dye embargo provision on
1t, but that they could not defend vote
for duty on potash.
Chairman Fordney in reply, declared the
potash duty was necessary to protect the
industry built up in Utah, California,
Nebraska and other states during the
war.

NEWS In CAPITAL
Receives Unanimous Approba-
tiOn of Administration Off
cials-See End of Strike.
(ey The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Agreement
between a number of key railroads and
the shop craft unions upon a basis for
ending the strike of machinists and asso-
ciated workers was received today with
unanimous appreciation by administration
officials.
Having in view the recent example of
the bituminous strike. the settlement of
which was inaugurated by a similar sep
arate settlement between the miners and
an influential minority of the operators.
government leaders generally interpreted
the authorization of B. M. Jewell, strike
leader, to proceed with negotiations on
a basis already accepted by a number
of railroads, as the beginning of the end
of the transportation strike as a whole.
Restoration of peace between railroads
and employees would mean the removal
of the last obstacle which has prevented
the coming of a period of national pros
perity, according to several cabinet mem
bers and government economic experts.
President Harding is known to have been
convinced of this by reports laid befors
him and Is said to have stressed the ex-
pected beneficial effect of a strike set
t1ement in the conference here looking
to that end.
Secretary Davis in a statement issued
as soon as he was advised the action
of the unions policy committee, congratu-
lated American industry on having cover
come the last obstacle in the way of the
greatest economic revival the nation has
ever known" The American workmen
the labor secretary said, at the same
high wages which prevailed before the
recent period Of depression
Seoreatry Davis was the first among
government officials to receive news of
the "break'' in Chicago and he personally
conveyed his information to Pr ssident
Harding, was said to have been out
spoken in expression of his qualification.
According to reports to Mr. Davis, be-
tween 35 and 40 per cent of the country g
railroads are affected by the potential
settlement, with an aggregating mileage
of between $4,000 and S0,0 900.
Railway officials here expressed the
opinion that the Chicago agreement prac-
tically means the collapse of the rail
strike. The roads which signed the spe-
cial agreement, they said, were apparent
ly in need of the services of skilled work
ers, while those which had failed to come
into the agreement, possibly had suffi-
cient skilled help without necessity of
treating with the organized workers.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. 13.-Settie-
ment of the rail strike, with the result
ant resumption of traffic movement ap-
preaching normal, is expected to relieve
the situation for the Southern Power
Company, which sent out notices today to
industrial users of power that 1t might
be necessary to shutoff their power one
dav a week to conserve coal
While the power company has coal suf-
ficient to last only about week due to
irregular deliveries during the last few
weeks, during which it was necessary to
use the four steam plants to produce cur
rent to supplement the water produced
power because of the unusually low water
in the streams in this territory, sporadic
receipts of coal may be sufficient to tide
over until coal begins to move over the
roads in normal amounts.
Efforts arc now being made to avoid
closing down one day week and the
settlement of the rail strike may allow
a sufficient movement of coal in time to
provIde fuel enough to keep the steam
auxiliary plants operating, although this

Heflin And Watson Make Joint
Attack Upon Former Governor ...-
.>. 49,. Of Federal Reserve Board
Heflin Refers to Him as evil
liam Poison Gas" Harding
Says He's Crook in Office.
(Ry The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia 4oint at
tack on w. G. Harding, former gov
ernor of the federal reserve board and
the boards alleged deflation policy in
1921 was made in the senate today by
Senator Heflin, Alabama, and Senator
Watson, Georgia, both Democrats. Sen
ator Heflin asked for an apology from
Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, for
mer secretary of the treasury for the lat
ter's defense of Mr.. Harding and the
board. Senator Heflin challenged figures
given several months ago by Senator
Glass as to the contraction or expansion
depression. Senator Glass said that loans
of the federal reserve bank had been in
creased nearly one billion dollars in 1920,
and Senator Heflin today presented Off
cia1 figures, he said, showing that there
was an actual shrinkage in credits of
$3.50, 900, 900 for the year ending May, 1921.
Senator Heflin challenged Senator
Glass statements, asserting that his own
were correct and said if so, Senator
Glass owed him public apology" Sena-
tor Glass was not present during Senator
Heflin's remarks.
Senator Heflin also presented statistics
from the federal reserve boards official
bulletins demonstrating further, he said,
that during the twenty months ending
January, 1922, there had been a decrease
of about $2.5O0, 100000 in the outstanding
credits of the federal reserve system.
''Yet the senator from Virginia (Mr
Glass; says that banks were supplying
largely increased credits said Senator
Heflin when the official reports show that
these banks were calling and contracting
credits right and left
Senator Heflin asked why Mr. Harding,
whom he referred to as William Poison
Cas- Harding, was still hanging around"
Washington following his retirement from
the board last month and reiterated that
Wall street banking interests were en-
deavoring to secure Mr.. Harding's re-
appointment.
Referring to Mr.. Harding, Senator
Heflin spoke of the crimes this man of
shrewd cunning and "of crooked con-
duct in office" had committed and also
charged federal reserve bank officials
with gross extravaganza. Near the New
York reserve bank, said Mr.. Heflfn, was
a private bank conducting a larger busi-
ness with 200 employees than the reserve
bank conducts with 5000. Also, he said,
the New York bank officials had greatly
increased their own salaries.
Senator Watson, Democrat. Georgia.
supported Senator HefIn's statements and
said that bank circulation was decreas-
ed from thirty four billions of dollars to
twenty-four billions for the year ending
December, 1921. This, Senator Watson
said, was "a crime" and he added that
If Mr.. Harding and bankers associated
with him in the alleged deflation of cred
its had their just deserts they would
spend the balance of their lives behind
prison bars"

Walker, who was defeated two

cIal of the company, who discussed the
situation tonight.
Four steam plants at Emo, near Chapel
Hill. at Greensboro, Rocky Mount and
at Greenville, S. c., have been burning
from eighty to one hundred carloads of

six weeks, with the result that the bunk

The company has out orders for 20

been so slow that the company has paid

domestic users will begin calling for coal
