Ask Inquiry Into N. Y. Reserve
Bank Building Appropriation

WASHINGTON, Sept. IAN lnyestl-
cation into the authority of the New
York Federal Reserve Bank to appro-
pirate from it's earnings, funds for 8
new banking home was proposed in a
resolution introduced to-day by Sen
ator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama. The
preamble to the resolution said that
the bank proposed to expend $4,000
and charged that under the reserve act
part of the earnings belonged to the
government. The banks right to use
the funds therefore was questioned
Senator Helm sought immediate
consideration of the resolution, but
Senator Curtis, Kansas, acting Repub-
lean leader objected, saying that there
were<too many whereases contained in
the resolution to permit its adoption
without some study.

Industrial Court Has No Au-
thority to Act, Says Huggins.
No Plans Made by Kansas Of
ficiaIs to Produce Coal.
SUFFICIENT PRODUCTION NOW
Judge Crawford Refuses to Dis
cuss Joint Meeting in X. C.
Court VIII Not Be Represented
in Tuesdays Conference.

The Kansas industrial c-ourt law
does not give the court authority to
take over any coal mines because the
operators of the mines are selling
their coal at prices higher than is de-
sired by the court
This was the statement made today
by w. L. Huggins, presiding judge of
the court, following a report in which
it was said that the judges of the
mines where there was evidence of
profiteering.
For Propaganda Purposes"
While no state officials would be
quoted,s it was generally understood
that whatever authority was given for
planned to take over working mines
because of price controversies was for
propaganda purposes
Judge Crawford, who was SO busy
with his many secret duties about
which he appears to believe the public
he knew anything about the courts 8
announcement early in the week to
the effect that a state wide investiga-
ton of the rail strike was to be begun
with hearings in the different strike
centers at which railroad officials,
strikers and workers were to be sum-
moned to testify AT the time this an
nouncement was made it was said
tnaI the court proposed to go to New
ton at once to start a hearing, but
Judge Crawford said today he knew
nothing of when such Investigations
were to be begun.
w. L. Huggins, presiding judge of
the court, also said he knew nothing
about the proposed rail strike hear
ings. Judge J. A McDermott, the
other member of the court, was not in
Topeka today. and it was understood
he had gone to Winfield, his home
town, for the week end.
Crawford Denies Statement.
Judge John H Crawford, who has
charge of the coal end of the courts
work, denied that he had given out
any statement to the effect that the
! icosrt had made plans to take over the
mines where priority orders of the
court are ignored. Crawford was very
reluctant to discuss this phase of the
