COAL OPERATORS ASK DECREASE IN
 RAILROAD RATES
Official Says Cost of Trans ferring Product Greater Than the Price of Coal
 at the Mines
By Associated Press

Washington, January 1s.-C1aims of the coal industry for decreased rail- road rates were presented to the in- terstats commerce commission today in the investigation which 1t Is mak- ing into the general level of trans portation rates. J. D. A. Morrow, vice president of the National Coal association, and representative of the largest group of coal mine opera tors, declared that his organization would not attempt to say what rail- road earnings would stand in the way of freight reductions. but asserted that If any were granted, they should be accorded to coal first, and to s.he largest degree.
 MT. Morrow estimated that freight rates on coal had increased as much as 200 per cent since 1914. and that the present average cost of trans porting a ton from the mines to the consumer was s2.74. while the price of the product itself at the mine was y2.14.
 Asks Reductions
 George H. Cushing of the American wholesale Coal association declared that railroad earnings would be sui ficient to allow sharp reductions Tn the rates on coal, with the resump- ton of normal traffic. He fixed the measure of the reasonable rate as not more than 50 per cent in excess Of April. 1917, charges, and estimated that the average annual production of the next five years would be above 500, 900, 900 tons. Railroad revenues from this source. he said. would be far more than required to maintain per cent return on their capital
 E. l.. Kelly, for the state or sou.n Dakota. discussed the various in- creases granted on coal during the four years to date, as compared with the drop In price of agricultural prod- ucts, and said that the charges now were excessive and unreasonable, not justified by existing conditions.

 Amendment
By Associated Press

Washington, January 19.-Senate republicans, in party conferences, ap- proved today the allied debt refund ing bill with the addition of pro vision that the interest rate on the refunded bonds should be not less than that fixed In the liberty loan acts authorizing the loans to tho al- He'd nations. This rate is IA per cent, or k of one per cent less than the rate stipulated in the obliga- tions of the debtor nations now held by the treasury.
 This was the only change in the bill as reported by the finance com mittee and which the conference ap- proved. It was announced tEat the vote on the added provision was 22 to and was taken after the confer ence had voted down. 24 to l4. an amendment by Senator Shoot of Utah, that the commission which is to conduct the fefunding negotiations moi hs3e the, fight to fix a rate of interest at less than per cent.
 Press For It's Passage
 Party leaders said fl was the plan to take up the bill in the Senate on Monday and to press for It's passage, the amended measure having been formally approved by the conference. The republicans already have voted to take up a soldier bonus bill as soon as the refunding measure is disposed of. 1t was said that there would be further party conferences to de- termine policy as to the method of raising the necessary funds to finance the bonus.
 There were two conferences today with many changes in the refunding biii suggested but not approved. A motion by Senator France. of Mary land, to strike out the provision for a commission and to confer the en- tire authority on the President was defeated, 1t was announced, by avote of 3i to !. 1t also was stated that a motion by Senator Phipps, of Colo rado, to strike out the requirement. that the bonds mature not later than June 15, 1947. was defeated 32 to 5.

BRADY'S OFFER
NOT BIG ENOUGH
Dempsey's Manager Won't
Bother With S200,00O-Ad-
mits Wills Is Logical Foe.

NEW YORK. Feb. l. - Jack
Kearns admitted today that Harry
Wills was the logical candidate to
give his champion Jack Dempsey a
real battle. Incidentally. Kearns
allowed that he would be ready to
talk turkey the moment some
hopeful promoter showed himself
with an attractive purse, but that
it would have to be more than a
mere 100000.
1t was evident from Kearns' taik
that he does not propose to let any
group Of promoters scamper of
with million dollar gate and
leave the fighters to split a paltry
s20o.o0o Kearns realizes the asset
he has in Dempsey. and when the
match is made-and il looks like a
cinch now that it will be made
Kearns will be up there proddInE
for a handsome wad as his share
of the enterprise.
We have never attempted to
dodge a match with Wills and have
all along insisted that IL there came
a time when the public demanded
fight between the champion and
Wills. VIC would be ready to take
Wills on" said Kearns.
Il believe that Wills and Demp-
sey would provide one of the great
est fights that ever took place.
There isn't any doubt in my mind
but that Dempsey and Wills would
be a much better match than was
the recent Dempsey-Carpentie af-
fair. There seem % be thousands
of people all over the country who
entertain the opinion that Wills
can beat Dempsey. All of when
makes it a better attraction.
Now. If Dempsey AID Carpen-
tier could draw miIton- dollar
gate Ii is reasonable to assume
that a bout between the champion
and Wills would draw as much IL
not more. Under the circumstances,
how does anyone expect to get
away with an offer of a few thou
sand dollars for such a match.
Il haven't seen william a. Brady
since he made his offer, but I prob
ably will see him in few days.
I'm for Billy Brady, or any other
man who things he wants to pro-
mote the match" concluded kearns.
