cIares Rights OF Congress Invaded.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE works Of
the armament conference were at
tackled on the floor of the house to-
day by Representative Bourke Cock
ran. Democrat. of New York
Cochran introduced a resolution
characterizing the work of the confer
ence, naval limitation and the four
powered Pacific treaty as an invasion
of~the rights of congress.
Cockran's resolution. set forth that
1.-The size and nature OF the military
establishments to be maintained by
the United States is a matter to be de-
cided by congress and any attempt to
affect or control the extent of our
armed forces on land and sea by treaty
between the United States and the
government of any foreign power or
powers is an invasion and breach Of
the rights of this house as branch
of said congress"
Cochran attempted to speak on his
resolution but was prevented by
Speaker Gillett, who informed him
that it was not a privilege resolution.

union miners of the United States are
producing between 100000 and

The Pittsburgh Coal Producers as

the miners organization, has come
out flatfootedly with the announce
ment that they will make a 40 per

Today, the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators association, in ses-

The operators claim that ~ per cent
of the cost of producing coal is spent
for labor. They say that only thru
wage cuts can the price of coal to the
public be reduced
DR. F c. Honnold, secretary treas
urer. of the Illinois Coal Operators as
ISOLATION, has prepared for the Illinois
meeting an exhaustive statistical re-
view purporting to show that it is i'm
possible for operators contracting with

compete with operators in the non
