Washington, May 3l.-The house
soldiers bonus bill, amended in sew
erai important particulars, but with
the much-discussed bank loan pro-
vision retained, was approved today

payment Of the sum they were in de-
fault, plus interest at 4 IL per cent,

Maximum Prices
on Coal at Mines
Fixedby Hoover
Secretary Announces Action
Taken as Means to Prevent
Profiteering During Re.
mainder of Strike.
BY GRAFTON s. WILCOX.
Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

warrington, May ol.- fair maxi
mum prices for bituminous coal at
the mine for three districts were an
nounced by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover tonight, after a day OF con.
fcrcnces with operators.
The prices ranged from 500 to
$3.50 per ton for the Alabama dis
trict, $3.50 per ton for the smokeless
coal districts Of West Virginia, and
$3.50 per ton for the Harlan and
Hazard fields OF Kentucky and the
Southern Appalachian fields OF Ten
ncssee and Kentucky. The prices
apply only on spot coal.
Secretary Hoover. at a conference
attended by more than 500 producers
whose mines are in operation in the
nonunion fields. announced that he
would assume personal responsibility
for fixing minimum prices as a
means OF preventing profi.eerins.
Because of possible infringement on
antitrust laws. Mr.. Hoover said that
he would ask the operators to agree
among themselves on fair prices but
that he would take all responsible
.ity upon himself. His only weapon
in enforcing them is the power OF
public opinion.
Summarizes Plan.
Announcement Of what he consid-
ers fair prices was made by Secre-
tary Hoover in separate statements
dealing with the three districts.
Secretary Hoover summarizes his
plan as follows
]. That the Garfield prices for
run OF mine coal should be the basis
OF computing sale prices with such
adjustments as are necessary to
wholesale selling costs, changed con-
ditions at the mines and other fac
tors that will be fair to the public
and the operators maintaining pro-
duction.
~ That each district should nom
mate to the secretary of commerce,
committee to advise with him on
conditions which bear on the Gar
field level and on which basis OF
fair prices in each district may be
established by the secretary.
3. That after the fair prices have
been established, these district COM
mittecs should report to the secre-
tary of commerce any cases OF
profitesring and act as he requests
to meet such cases

FARMERS OPPOSE
IMPORTATION Of
HEARST CROPS
Deming Potato Growers Ap-
peal to Washington for
Protection from Mexican
Product

Deming, N. NJ, Sept l5.-Follow-
ling the publishing of an article in
the Ell Paso Times last week, in
which 1t was stated that William
Randolph Hearst had been granted
permission to ship potatoes into the
United States from his farm in
Mexico, the local potato growers
started a movement to attempt to
prevent this importation.
The Booster club sent a telegram
10 Senator Holm o. Bursum con-
corning the matter and received q
|reply within few hours stating
that the question would be taken up
personally with the agriculture de-
partment. Nothing further has
been heard, but it is thought that
Senator Bursum will do all in his
power to see that importations of
this class are prevented.
On the face of the matter 1t ap-
pears very unfair to allow pro-
ducts from Mexico to compete with
those grown in the states. Mr..
Hearst employees only the cheapest
of labor, Chinese, and for this rea-
son can afford to undersell local
products. Then there is always the
danger of bugs and scab with which
Mexican products are usually in
fected.
The Booster club has also COM
municated with the Mesilla Valley
Marketing association and it is
possible that the two organizations
may be able to get favorable action
from the agriculture department

BURBANK : HOPE

Greater Work than In

Santa Rosa, Calf, Sept. Is (by the
Associated Press,)-If fulfillment
comes to the hopes and ideals of
luther Burbank, foremost plant
breeder in the world, history also
will record his influence in the de-
veloping of better men, as well as
better plants, for he regards i'm
provement of mankind as greater
work than improvement of plant
species.
81 hope that the same laws, as
far as practicable, which l have
discovered and demonstrated in
plant life will be applied to the
improvement Of human life said
the dean of plant scientists In his
Santa Rosa home.
"This in a measure, can, must
and will be done" he asserted.
Although ever possible minute
of Burbank's day is given to his
plant experiments, he Is glad 10

to the Boy Scouts, playground &C

these he sees the beginning or the
application to mankind of his prla-
ciples Of plant breeding,
"My time is all too short to 90
all I wish and hope yet to do" ne
says.

and plant knowledge.
After sixty years Of plant breed
ing he enunciates the principe
"Plants are pliable and anenable
TO the will of man, but this has
never been surmised by the gen
eral public until the las. twenty
five years"
Agriculturists few years ago
reported to Burbank that the tau
stalks on which sunflowcrs grew
made it unhandy to harvest me
seeds. Burbank set to work On The
problem, and this year is market
ing seeds of a new sunfloWer,
which grows on a three foot stalk.
The bloom has been so greatly en-
Iarged that it is heavier producer
of seeds than other varieties and
the seeds are white.
Next year he will give the world
six new peaches, a new prune
which does not need to be dipped
before drying, a new plum and a
new nectarine. He has also been
working several years on potatoes
in the hope of producing a new va

greater quantity than any other,
and after countless experiments
has narrowed his experimental va

he will eventually bring out one or
