cONSTANT1NOPLE, Oct. 5 CUnlt-
ed Press) The Mudania peace con-
ference apparently has achieved re-
narkable success in solving difficult
preliminary problems OF the Near
East.
Official announcement OF the sign
ing Of a protocol providing for the
return OF the Turks 10 Eastern
Thrace coincldentally with their
withdrawal from the neutral zones
near the Straits was moDentarily
expected here.
The way has been paved for a
final conference at which Mustapha
Kemal and Allied leaders will agree
upon disposition OF disputed Near
East territories and the threat OF a
holy war removed.
A British communique issued this
morning said:
THE conference al Mudania was
resumed at 10 a. m, Wednesday.
General Harrington handed to Ismet
Pasha a draft OF the convention
agreed 10 by the Allied general. The
meeting adjourned after discussing
various points.
During the afternoon session the
Allied representatives readily assent
ed 70 several OF Ismet Pasha's OBJ
3ect.ons. The meeting adjourned
a. p. m. with a few points still
10 be agreed 10.
The Greeks arrived Wednesday
The conference will proceed today.
The turning point at the secret
pariey at Mudania came when Allied
representatives were convinced that
the Turks genuinely desired TO re-
turn to Eastern Thrace for peace
ful occupation OF their former ter
r.tory. When they conceded this
point the Kemalist representatives
became Immediately conciliatory and
agreed not only to withdrawal oil
their troops from the neutral zones
east OF the straits but to the proposal
that Turkish forces should not enter
Thrace until after the final peace
conference.
The Allies are to remain in con-
troll of Thrace from which the
Greeks will be requested to with
draw until a sound Turkish admin
Istration can be set up. II is esti-
mated this will take a month.
One stumbling block appeared TO
remain today in the path OF COM
piete agreement, namely Greek op-
position TO the plan. Although Veni-
Eelos at London and certain infiuen-i +
tial leaders at Athens have accepted
the premise that Greece must give
up Eastern Thrace. a wave of arti-
hcial fervor has swept many Greek
extremists TO arms with a battle
cry OF fighting to the last man TO re-
tain their present hold on what was
formerly Turkey in Europe.

SMITH ASKS FOR
AN INVESTIGATION

Washington, Aug. l0.-Investiga-
ton of charges that undue methods
or practices are being employed by
the trade i'll restraining the natural
operations of the law of supply and
demand" and depressing cotton prices
was proposed in a resolution intro
duced today by Senator Smith (Dem-
ocrat) Of South Carolina. The resolu
tion was referred to the agriculture
committee.
Senator Smiths resolution recitel
that the cotton carried over was less
than normal and that reports on the
growing crop indicated a yield below
the world demand. 1t also stated that
the boil weevil damage was "more en-
tcnsive and severe than ever before in
history :, making the yield ell
tirely problematical."
"The price of cotton in the markets
has failed utterly to respond to these
conditions said Senator Smiths res.
olution.
Senator Smith made public letter
from j. S. Wanamaker, president OF
he American Cotton association, re-
porting that New York and English
cotton spectators were working to.
gether to beat down the market.
"Since the governments crop report
was issued-one of the most bullish
reports ever krown-the market has
gone down every day" said Mr. Wan
namaker in his letter, "and it is the
general talk of the t,ade that a pow.
:rful combine has been formed for
the purpose of beating cotton pres
down, it being stated that this {. III.
b'ne is composed of some of the big
gest financial interests in New York
--some of the biggest Spectators
there, and some of the biggest spe.r-
lators in Engiand-and that they
boast that they viii beat the price or
cotton down To 10 cents. Through
some of the most reliable ourccs am
given this inf0rmation."

TO CONTROL PRICE
COAL WILL BRING

Washington, Aug. l0.-Use of ths
emergency powers of the interstate
commerce commission to bring into
line coal operators who are failing
to cooperate with the federal fuel OF.
ganiZation in. the control of prices
was under consideration today by the
central coal committee.
The governments defense against
prices advances above the maximum
charges agreed upon by producing
operators with Secretary Hoover was
declared to lie in the power of the in
terstate commerce commission to al
locate coal cars so that mines boost
ing prices would be without trans
portation facilities.
Department of justice officials con-
nected with the federal fuel organi-
cation were said to have advised the
committee that the commits sion had
ample authority under the law to so
distribute cars to the mines as to
effectively control their charges.
Alabama operators, Mr.. Hoover an
nounced today, have broken away
from the fair price agreements made
with him and, he added, Governos
kilby of Alabama will be asked &C.
take steps tc protect consumers N
that state against rising prices.
Operators in other districts are
showing signs of slipping from thch
stand with the fair price program
it was said at the committee.
Inquiry is being made, Mr.. Hocvl
organization can take in cases where
operators fail to cooperate in the
matter of price control. In some
states he said organization against
profiteering is going forward vigor
ously but in other states it has not
progressed as rapidly as desired.
Railroad service out of he pro
ducing coal fields, he asscr' cl, was
steadily Improving and car supply
H.i Improved steadily during the
past two weeks as Il result ot the
priority system established by h
federal organization.
A plea for assistance in getting the
anthracite coal producing rrgions
back to production was mao today
by S. d. Warrincr and W. !. Rich
ards, representing the general policy
committee of all anthracite opera
tors. They were presented to Prcsi-
dent Harding by Senator Pepper Of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Warrincr, AS chairman, told thr
president the resumption of work in
the anthracite operators have lc
yeptcd the presidents proposal to ap.
point commission to arbitratc he
differences which have led to 4 SIS
pension of work by the min Is ard
the opinion of the anthracite repre-
sentatives was said to be that its
establishment at n very early mo-
nrent might help to bring about n
settlement.
