WALK0UT OF 6,OO0 CLERKS INVERTED
 BY AGREEMENT

Continued From Page One.) N essential commodities and to fix preference and priority status to con- trol movement of food and fuel.
 The priority order was rollowed by general service order" from the commission, notifying "all common carriers" that an emergency existed which required them to disregard usual routine practice, freight rate divisions and traffic arrangements so as to obtain the most expeditions movement of essential freights.
 Effective Today
 Becoming effective tomorrow, the commissions mandates give railroads first priority on fuel requirements with electric power, II -~' gas, water and sewer works, ice plants serving the public, and refrigeration plants engaged in preservation of food, fol- lowing in the order named.
 Proposed appointment of a federal commission 10 investigate the coal industry, received further support today in a resolution introduced in the Senate by Chairman Borah, of the labor committee. Mr. Borah sug- gested the commission be composed of three members. appointed by the President and that 1t recommend the advisability of necessity of nation alizing the industry, or of the insti- tution of regulations In outlining the government position In the rail- road strike, administration spokes- men said it had been decided that the railroad labor boards authority to determine wages and working condi- tions for railroad employees must be recognized and upheldI and that the attempts to operate mines in spite of the miners union strike must be continued until 1t Is demonstrated that not enough men are willing to work under state and federal pro- tection to bring out an adequate tom mage.
 It was added that the administra- ton was struggling to deal fairly with the entangled rights of all par ties to the wide spread industrial controversies. but intended above all to uphold the majesty and dignity of the government of the United States.
 Distribution Plan.
 Meanwhile. in the fuel crisis, re- sulting from the coal strike. the powers of the government will be used to distribute the diminished cur rent production of coal in accordance with the demands of public welfare and to prevent the taking of extor- tionate profits.
 President Harding was represented as unwilling to anticipate in ad- vance, what course might be taken, should the coal output fail to be augmented to the required tonnage, but for the present week at least. it was stated, he would withhold crea- tlon of the suggested federal coal comm ssion.
 should Grant Seniority.
 While the railroad labor board would ba upheld in It's endeavors to deal with the strike of shop craftsmen, 1t was intimated in off cial circles that if the concession of seniority rights to strikers who have Jeff service, would result in thoir return 10 work. the railroad ought to yield tho point. The board, too. 1t was said,

 fuel coal generally was given the next place in the preference list. Railroads were forbidden to divert or reconsign shipments except as they might be needed for superior use under the order of classification set forth. They were further re- quired to discontinue use of cars suit able for coal shipment in any other trade, and railroads not serving mines were required to begin daily. deliveries of suitable coal cars to coal carriers.
 Food Priority
 The order giving priority for food and other shipments was qualified by a clause stating that such pref erence should be shown by a carrier onty Ito the extent that it is cur rentiy to be able promptly to trans port all freight traffic offered it for movement"
 In the routine orders, applying all over the United States. the com mission required the roads to dis regard existing contracts and agree ments applying to freight revenue divisions.
 Both orders were made effective. from and after July 26, and were based on authority delegated to the commission by the transportation act. The present emergency was de- clared in order No. to arise, be cause each of such carriers, by req son of unfavorable labor conditions and shortage of fuel, Is unable to

might facilitate the concessions even though eastern lines and those of the southwest have publicly declared that the status of men employed to replace the strikers would not ai- low the grant of full seniority to those who might return.
 President Harding, it was said, would remain in intimate contact with any steps which the labor board might take.
 There was no concealing that grave concern had been given gov ernment officials by verified reports concerning the dwindling of coal output. Almost no new production has been attained in Pennsylva mia unionized coal fields since troop pro- lection has been furnished. and non union production in West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky has de- creased far below June levels.
 Another Conference
 The possibility was said to have been advanced in the cabinet session that the President might call an- other conference of the miners and union officials and coal mine opera tors, this time including the spokes- men of operating associations in West Virginia and Pennsylvahia, who were not willing to attend the tor- mer meetings.
 President Harding was said to feel that the bituminous industry had too many miners and too many mines, and to have advanced proposal that wage contracts should hereafter guarantee workers 2S0 working days a year, with penalty clause against employers who failed to operate mines accordingly. The plan met with scant favor. 1t was said, when put before operators. and miners some weeks ago. It was also point cd out that the miners license re- qurements under Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania state laws, the lat ter applying particularly to the am thracite region, made 1t impossible to build up any new labor forces.
 Further. the President Is inclined to believe that In the bituminous in- dustry conditions have arisen which allow nearly 30o.00o men to be em- ployed on three-day per week working basis, at a wage which them. He was said to consider this makes the situation Agreeable to contrary to the whole scheme of life in nation where the balance of the population works regularly and to be an impossible foundation on which to maintain basic industry. Also in the bituminous industry, labor cost of producing coal has been found by investigation to average about 73

transport, the traffic offered 1t so as to properly serve the public"
 Essential Commodities
 The priority order No. 23. gave no reason for the emergency which was declared to exist. but said the car- riers could not completely serve the public in the transportation of es- sential commodities"
 The only geographical area en- titled to preference under the order is in the northwest. where the sup ply of coal is customarily moved by way of the Great Lakes in summer months. This system was adopted in 1920. though great complaint was occasioned in other territories. on the ground that unless sufficient coal was finished in the summer, rail- roads would not be able to handle enough of it in winter, even though 1t could be mined.
 It was expected that the special purposes" classification set up in commission order would be the foun dation of the entire price controlling effort of the governments coal dis tribution plan. by serving to prevent cars getting to mines whose owners did not take fair prices.

 Before the Senate met today, the finance committee majority took up the silk schedule, making several changes. The most important was the decision to give separate treat ment to tussah silk, commonly known as pongee and shantung. Such silk in the piece, not bleached, printed, dyed or colored. would bear a duty of 55 per cent ad valorem.

 Governor KiIby, 'T regret this

 who owns the property nor

 Governor Kilby acted after mature deliberation and after reports on the situation in Jefferson county had been received from three sources. First information was in regard to the demonstration of a band of men and women when work train passed near Birmingham Monday. Then came report today from George W. Jones, district attorney of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad here. who said conditions were bad.
 Sheriff Telephones
 Sheriff J. c. Hartsfield of Jeffer- son county called the governor on the telephone and requested assist ance from the military department He said the peace hadsbeen preserved up to this time but threats had reached him during the day--which caused him to believe additional as- sistance should be provided. This call caused the governor to direct Col. Hartley A. Moon, adjutant gem eral. to go to Birmingham. An air plane was chartered and Col. Moon flew to Birmingham arriving early in the evening. Colonel Moons re- port to Governor Kilby said troops should be mobilized as a precaltion- ary measure, though would lot be sent from the armory during the night unless the situation became more serious.

SAY HEARST'S AGENT
WAS TO GET $I25, 900
Men in Paper Deal Tesfify y
A bout $500, 900 Commission.

The iran oript Of examinations before
trial of Paul Smith and F'rederick l..
Moore were filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday as part of the record in a suit
by William Randolph Hearst to have set
aside a sale to him OF the Dexter Sui
phite Paper and Pulp Company, which
he bought for $S,50O. 900. on the ground
that a commission on the sale was ac-
cepted by Carl f. zittel. who was his
representative in the negotiations for the
purchase.
The examinations of Smith and Moore
set forth an agreement which they say
they reached with Zittel and State SEN
ator James A. Emerson, who has since
died. They declare that they and Emer-
son were to receive a commission of
$500. 900 on the sale and that at meet

Zlttel told them Mr.. Hearst was in the
market for s2o,000,000 worth OF pulp
and paper property and that he (zitteD
ought to have a share of their commits
sion. Ultimately, they state, they
agreed to give him s125,000.

Silk Market QHiet.

The local raw silk market continues
quiet and silk mills continue to conane
their operations TO actual needs. But
while buyers hesitate they watch the
market with keener interest than has
been evident for a long time It is
conceded, according TO II. l.. Gwalter
q, Co., Inc. that conditions in the fabric
market are improving. and, as mills are
carrying less than their usual supply
of raw material, sellers will not be sur
prised to see a general influx of orders
as soon as buying shall start The Milan
market is reported dull, with best sorts
OF Italian raws for single weaving
quoted at 800 lire. European demand is
light. The Yokohama market is firner,
with renewed buying for American ac-
count at rising prices evident. Yester-
days transactions were placed at 800
TO 1000 bales and quotations for double
extra grades have advanced to S745
and Sinshiu No. i to $500 Shipments
to February 10 amount to 1911 bales
Of which 1850 bales were sent to the
United States. Stocks on hand are
given as 1000 bales Of white and 1000
bales of yellow silk. The Canton market
reports renewed activity. Stocks avail
able for European and American needs
for the balance of the season are re-
ported at 1000 to 1000 bales. The
Shanghai market remains too high for
American buyers.
