Of a dying minister to give my last
word of advice" he remarked.
II do not know who will succeed US.
but l would like to utter a word of
kindly warning: Whoever succeeds
us will find it impossible in the pres
ent state of Europe to go on without
conferences. The world is so bat
tered. bruised and crushed that the
cure will be slow one and will need
many consultations of it's leading
physicians"
One of the most essential problems
to be dealt with, continued Mr.. Lloyd
George, was the restoration of the
machinery of international trade. He
adduced some figures on this trade.
pointing out how vital it was to Great
Britain, and continued:
'One of the first things that will
have to be attempted at Genoa is the
restoration of exchanges"
Text of Resolution.
LONDON. April s.-The resolution
which the prime minister will per-
sonally introduce today reads:
Resolved. That this house approve
council at Cannes as d basis of the
Genoa conference. and that it will
support his majesty's government in
endeavoring to give effect to them"
Notice has been given of seven
amendments to the governments mo-
tion, but that proposed by the labor
party is given priority. The labor
amendment reads:
while approving of an tnterna-
tional economic and financial con-
ference, this house regrets that the
scope of the discussions at Genoa
has been so circumscribed that the
conference must fall short of a set
tlement of the political and economic
evils which affect Europe, and it is
of the opinion that the government,
which clearly has not the confidence
of the country and which Is respon-
sible for a policy whose unfortunate
effects are to be considered at Genoa.
is not competent to represent this
country"
Expect Government Support.
These amendments are not likely to
be adopted. Former Premier Asquith
on behalf of the opposition liberals,
had been expected to join in criticism
of the government, but was confined
to his home with a cold. John Robert
Clynes is in charge of the labor
amendment.
The government whips have issued
an urgent call for the supporters of
the coalition to attend, and full
house is certain. 1t is not expected
that the vote on the premier's reso-
luton will be reached earlier than IL
O'Clock in the evening.
The general belief that the govern
ment will receive a substantial ma
jority is based on the fact that the
main motion has been narrowed from
its original scope to mere support
of the Cannes resolution. This has
taken the heat out of the question
which lately stirred the political
world following Mr.. Lloyd Georges
threat of resignation.

luton introduced in the Senate today

EXCUSE Me-" SAYS DAVIS.
Hopes if Coal Industry Is National
lied He Won't Have Charge.

Referring to the testimony of John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, who appeared today
before the House labor committee, in
regard to conditions in the coal in
dustry, Secretary of Labor Davis said
he hoped if Lewis suggestion that
the coal mines be nationalized is fol-
lowed "the Secretary of Labor be not
charged with their operation"
He added that he had seen enough
of government operation of necessi-
ties in the case of the railroads, and
said that he personally did not wish
to supervise operation of coal mines.

WILKES BARRE. Pa. April 8
The presidents of the three anthra-
cite coal districts left their respective
headquarters today for New York to
resume wage negotiations with the
operators subcommittee. One of the
first things TO be taken up is the ad-
justment of certain matters of policy
put into effect in the field by some of
the companies.
In the Hazleton district. it is al
legged. some engineers. firemen and
other maintenance force have been
laid off and replaced by 'colliery Of
ficials. Thomas Kennedy. president
of the district. said that he would in
sist that there be no discrimination
against these members of the union,
who were exempted under the sus-
pension order.
Meanwhile hard coal production, is
1t a standstill and 155,000 idle miners
have settled down to await The ont
come of the New York conferences.
Some of. the -foreign-born workers
have taken advantage of the SuS2en-
sion to visit their old homes in Flu
rope, while others are seeking tenn
porary positions elsewhere.
Several thousand railroad employees.
members Of coal crews. found them
selves out of employment today as a
result of the suspension. In the
Wikesbarre district alone two thou
sand railroaderS were idle. Long
trains of loaded cars have been NOV
ing out of the classification yards in
the several shipping centerS ever
since the tie-up and it is expected
the region vii! be cleaned up by to-
night. The coal is being stored on
sidings nearer the larger cities where
orders can be more readily filled.
Officials of some of the local unions
today We're investigating the source
of circulars. which have made their
appearance among the miners criti-
cising their leaders and advocating
"one big union The men were urged
to disregard the circulars and to re-
swear allegiance to the leadership of
the United Mine Workers of America.
Radicals, it was stated. were taking
advantage of the suspension to spread
their propaganda in the anthracite
fields.
A fire. alleged to have been started
by bootleggers, who had still con-
cealed in the mine, was discovered
yesterday in the Butler colliery of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company. 1t
had gained considerable headway. and
when company officials asked for men
to fight TIE blaze union leaders
readily consented to large number
of idle miners helping in the work.
Three squads are at work, but 1t will
take several days to conquer the fire.
The action of the union leaders was
pointed to as emphasizing the
friendly spirit that prevails in the
ranks of the mine workers.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
HAVE COAL SUPPLY
Gas and Electric Service Here
Unlikely to Be Affected
by Big Strike.

The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany and the Washington Gas Light
Company are well fortified for the
coal strike. officials of both corpora
tions stated today. In the case of the
gas company no interruption to serv-
ice is expected. regardless of the
duration of the strike.
Howard Reeside. president OF the
gas company, called attention to the
fact that his plant can be operated
entirely with coke in emergencies and
that he is now contracting for that
kind of fuel. The company also has
supply of coal that will last about
two months.
Big Reserve supply.
The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany has exactly thirty -five-day SUP
ply of fuel in reserve at the Benning
plant. which is all the company has
accommodations for storing. Ship
ments are still arriving and the COM
pany anticipates no trouble.
1t is not believed that the rule of
lightless nights, invoked during the
war to conserve fuel, will have to be
revived in Washington unless the
strike should last through the sum-
mer and the company should be unable
to keep up shipments Of fuel.
Situation Satisfactory.
At least the outlook now is such
that the power company. one official
said. has not yet turned it's thoughts
to the necessity for conserving elec-
tricity.
NJ. c. Hargrove. purchasing agent
for the District government. said that
all city institutions and coal-burning
plants, such as the sewer and water
pumping stations. are well stocked
In anticipation of the strike, they
placed orders with the government
fuel yard some time ago.

Washington.-The Senate finally
untangied its parliamentary difficult
ties over the four-power treaty supple
ments by joining the two supplement-
ary agreements and then ratifying
them by unanimous vote.
One Of the supplements, itself In the
form Of a treaty, defines the geograph.

lates that issues which are purely Of
q domestic character can not be
brought before the four-power "cou.
ference"
The vote on the double-barrelled
ratification resolution was T3 to 0, op-
ponents Of the four-power plans join
Ing In giving approval to the supple
ments because they interpreted the
two agreements as limiting and cur
failing the operation OF the principal
treaty. Several attempts to attach
other reservations which had failed
when the four-power treaty itself was
under consideration, were defeated by
the usual pro-treaty and anti-treaty
lineup.
The plan Of combining action on the
two four.treaty supplements was pro.
posed by Senator Lodge after he had
decided 1t was unnecessary to present
two separate ratification resolutions.
The treaty opponents holding that the
domestic questions supplement really
was a part Of the four-power pact,
protested that the method finally set
tied upon by the Republican leader,
was but weak and unsatisfactory"
way to solve the parliamentary prob.
lem confronting the Senate, but Mr..
Lodge and other Republicans insisted
1t would be entirely effective.
BY Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska,
senior Democratic member Of the for.
eign relations committee, II was de-
clared that the Senate's action in Civ.
ing belated approval to the supple
ment, "is an admission to Japan that
the supplements provisions are not a
part Of the four-power treaty. Other
Democrats also argued that the only
proper procedure was to reconsider the
vote ratifying the four-power pact SO
as to include the supplement in that
ratification.
Adoption Of the domestic questions
supplements as reservation" to the
geographical supplement, however. was
by q vive voce vote.

Clash With Cobb
Pfoues Lucky Break
for Pitcher Francis

Ty Cobb likes the fighter. That's
why Pitcher Fay Francis was taken
In a trade with Washington for
Shortstop Gagnon.
Cobb got his line on Francis
through a personal encounter with
the former Washington southpaw.
Washington was playing at De-
troit last season in the nnal series
between the two clubs. For six in
nings. Francis made the hard hit
ting Tigers look rather cheap.
In the seventh inning. Cobb ac-
cused Francis of purposely trying TO
hit him. Francis resented the ac-
cusation Cobb told him that he
better not throw another bean
ball" Whereupon Francis came
right back with a fast one that
caused 1'y to drop to the ground to
escape being hit.
Getting to his feet. Cobb dashed
madly toward the pitchers box.
Francis, instead OF backing up,
made for the plate Fortunately, the
umpire anticipating a clash. pre-
vented anything happening other
than an exchange of unkind words.

Being a catcher in the big leagues
is far different from what ii used
10 be. Nowadays the job calls for
great deal more work.
In the old days a receiver was
only expected to toll every other day
or so, and the hackstopping duties
were generally about equally divid-
ed between two men with a third
hlling In occasionally.
A few seasons back 1t was more
or less of an oddlty for a catcher to
work in 100 games during the cam
paign. Anywhere from 60 TO 70
contests was the usual average. But
times havs changed until now the
majority of the clubs depend almost
solely on one catcher to do the bulk
OF the receiving.

valuable and necessary asset to a
team, seldom gets much of an op-
pOrtunity TO show his wares. OBJ

Brokers Report Scarcity of
and Demand for Smaller
Houses

Real estate brokers Of this city
report shortage in small houses at
this time, especially those having six
or seven rooms. Similar reports have
been received from other cities near
BY. but in those places the brokers
report increases in rent rates There
has been no increase in rentals here
according to many OF the local deal
ers.
Carroll w Grifith, OF Ninth and
Tatnall streets, commenting on the
local situation, yesterday. said:
Ihere has been no general decrease
TX rents and on the whole they re-
main where they were about a year
ago.
THE average six and seven room
home is renting from s25 10 $40. de-
pending on the location. and the de-
mand is so great that II is virtually
impossible TO get such homes at
most times.
while the rents of larger houses.
which brought 500 and SIPS a year
and two years ago, have decreased
forty and fifty per cent, there is lit
tie demand for such residences and
many OF them could not be rented
no matter how low the rents were"
The same view OF the local sltua-
tion was presented by Colonel j.
Warner Reed OF Young and Com
psny. Col Reed stated that his con-
Germ had been besieged by tenants
desiring six and seven room homes
but that the brokers are unable to
keep up with the demand.
Colonel Reed expressed the view
that there had been little falling off
in rents for the average home and
apartment
Other real estate men expressed the
same view OF the situation. and all
were of the opinion that hundreds OF
smaller houses could he rented n

report a demand for smaller homes. |
