The fifth biennial convention Of Dis
trict II. United Mine Workers of
America, adjourned yesterday. and
the 500 delegates returned to their
homes with President c. Frank

selves in an orderly manner" in event
Of the general strike called for
April 1.
Calling upon the miners to "staX
strictly within the law" but also to
protect your homes and your
families" President Keeney assured
them that their success will be de-
pendent largely upon absolute har-
mony within the ranks and the strict
est Of cooperation.
Most important Of the second days

tion Of q district wage scale policy.
The report Of the committee in
corported the demands that "all new

HEAR TEACHERS
PAY RAISE APRIL )
Capper Bill Before Senate
District Committee on
Salary Raises.

Hearings on the Capper bill in.
creasing the salaries Of the teachers
in the District will begin April 8 be-
fore the Senate District committee.
Announcement of the plan for the
hearings was made following a con-
ference at the Capitol today between
Chairman Bali Of the District COM
mittee. Senator capper, chairman of
the joint committee on schools, and
DR.. Ballou. superintendent of schools.
Senator Capper today reiterated his
interest in better salaries for public
school teachers in Washington
I do not think" said Senator Cap
per, that the District Commissioners
by any means vetoed the teachers
trict committee in regard to that bill.
The District Commissioners. it is true,
pointed out that the salaries CT other
District employees are low, ana should
be increased. l have sympathy with
that position. too: but to my mind it
time that the public school teachers
in the District shall be adequately
paid. Unless am mistaken. the school
teachers here are paid less than they
are in similar cities.
THE committee will call before It
officials Of the schools and school
teachers 1t will also call upon the
United States bureau of education
for such information as 1t may have
In regard to the situation. The COM
mittee will endeavor to obtain COM
plcte data as to what is being done
by other American cities particularly
those similar in size and location to
Washington, with regard to school
teachers salaries OF course much
will depend upon what this investi-
cation reveals"

The prohibition navy" if success

but thought is being given to sugges-
tons that by making the prohibition
navy officers also customs officers the
dry law ships might operate beyond
the three-mile territorial limit and as
far as the twelve-mile customs limit.
The cost Of the operation OF the

The foreign affairs committee OF the

SENATE TEDYEPROBE
SEVERELY SCORED
Manufacturer Declares Ev-
erything Was Covered But
Principal Point.

The Senate's investigation of the
alleged dye and chemical trust was
scored by Herman A. Metz, New York
chemical manufacturer and importer
and former representative in Congress,
today as having covered about every
thing except the point Of the inquiry,
namely, the monopoly" Mr.. Metz, who
was able only to begin his testimony
before the committee had to adjourn.
declared he was prepared to meet each
charge that has been leveled against
him.
Preliminary to other testimony
witness began today to lay before
the committee the history of the
dyestuff and chemical industry for the
forty years in which he has been en-
gagged in it. He did this, he said, SO
that the record would show how, al
though he constantly had imported
German dyes and chemicals, he had
sought to promote an American in
dustry.
Answers Accusations.
BY way of answering accusations
that he was German controlled" Mr..
Metz asserted that in his forty years
of business experience he had yet to see
the day when he was not his own boss.
He related in this connection his activ-
titles ass what he called a ''go-between"
for the State Department and Count
Won Bernstorff, former German am
bassador. before the United States en-
tered the war. in aiding American
dye consumers in getting the colors
they needed. There was nothing to
conceal. he said, and submitted let
ters and other documents which had
passed between the parties mem
toned.
Most Of the German chemicals,
which the British allowed to reach
America after the early days Of the
war. were handled through his con-
cern. Metz declared. He said the
British never had refused him a per-
nit for the f:ce passage to America
Of the drugs and chemicals, even
though certain dyemakers here raised
the cry that he was representing
Germans.
Touching on the chemical founda-
ton, Nets asserted that 1t had done
nothing except send out literature
and abuse others" in the dye and
chemical business.
