Much Progress Has Been Made
in Hearing Evidence on
Lumber Cases.

WASHINGTON. June 4.-(By A.
PA warrant has been Issued by
United States Commissioner Hit for
the arrest of J. L. Philips. chairman
Of the republican state committee
for Georgia, charging fraud in the
( execution OF war contracts. Beyond
confirming reports that the warrant
had been issued Commissioner Hits
, refused tonight TO discuss the case.
Philips, as a member OF the firm
of Philips and Stevens. obtained a
contract soon after the armistice
from the government to dispose OF
surplus lumber left from cantonment
and camp construction and other war
building developments. the firm hav-
ing been designated by a conference
of lumber dealers 10 act as their
agent.
Representative Woodruff. republi-
can. Michigan. in a speech recently
in the house asserted that official
reports had been filed by government
auditors in September. 1921. show
ing that Phillips and Stevens still
owed the government under this
contract more than $3.50. 600. and

Considerable progress has been
made in presenting evidence in the

panelled under a special act of con-
I gress, it was generally understood.
The lumber cases were among
/ those referred to by Rep. Woodruff
republican, Michigan, in a speech in
, the house last April during which
he read an official memorandum
from Ernest c. Steward. in charge
( of the contract audit section Of the
/ army's finance department to his
superior officer, setting forth the
/ basis for his belief that the sale OF
surplus lumber should be investigat-
/ ed by the department Of justice
The army's surplus lumber was
= sold under contract with the govern
ment by a firm, Mr.. Steward charg-
i ed, which had been appointed by
( representatives of lumber inter-
( ests,' to act as their agent for the
/ ostensible purpose Of so regulating
/ the disposal Of surplus stocks OF
J lumber then held by the government
as not to disrupt or injure the
/ transactions of the commercial
trade" Four kinds or wood were
/ to be disposed of by the original con-
I tract. the memorandum said Not
I withstanding this 80 kinds were sold.
and by questionable agreement be-
/ tween the directors of sales and the
/ contractor there was also included

WILL ASK RETAIL
COAL DEALERS TO
AID FAIR PRICES
Will Confer With Commerce
Secretary in Hope of
Benefiting Public.

WASHINGTON, June 4-(By A.
P)-Retail coal dealers of the coun-
try will be asked Monday by Sec'y
Hoover TO cooperate with the COM
merce department in insuring 10 the
public the benefits OF the maximum
fair prices for coal at the mines
established last week with operators
in more than 80 percent Of the pres
ent producing fields for the dura-
ton of the strike.
Members of the National Retail
Coal Merchants association. headed
by Homer D. Jones of Chicago, its
president, will confer with the COM
merce secretary on the cooperative
methods to be adopted for prevent
ing runaway coal prices during the
strike. Later in the week Mr..
Hoover is to hold a conference with
representatives Of the wholesale
trade for the same purpose with a
view TO linking up the distributive
ends of the coal industry in passing
on TO the consuming public the fair
prices agreed on with the produc-
ers. 1t is expected that some ar
rangement similar to the plans
adopted with the operators will be
worked out with the dealers so that
by means OF fair price committees
in different sections Of the country
representing the various branches
of the coal industry and cooperating
with the commerce department the
brakes may be applied when prices
show a tendency TO speed up as they
did in the last fuel crisis.
Last weeks production Of btu
minous coal was slightly smaller
than that Of the preceding week,
according to reports compiled by the
geological survey the decrease be-
ing attributed TO the celebration OF
Memorial Day in many Of the nom
union and open shop mines. The
total production on the basis OF pre-
liminary returns was estimated at
between 4.55O,OOO and 4.750,OO0
tons. On the previous week it ran
TO 1856. 900 tons. Anthracite is
coming out only in negligible quaint
tiles. the survey found
no great change is noted in the
number of men on strike" the sur
vey said. Production is increasing
very slowly in the Connelsville re-
gion and more rapidly in southeast
ern Kentucky and Tennessee. In
the nOn-union and open shop dis
tricts Of West Virginia, there is a
slight but pereceptibl increase"

cite and bituminous are falling
steadily, but by how much cannot
be accurately stated for the rate OF
