 Reports that such return had been made by Mir. Ford came to the attention of the secrtary of the Treasury. Immediately he investi- gated. He found no evidence that the money had been assimulated by the treasury. He then inquired of Mr. Ford as to the accuracy of the re- ports.
 Secretary Mellon has informed newspaper correspondents that the secretary of Ford acknowledged the receipt of his letter prior to the re- cent departure of the manufacturer to the south. Explanation of the re- ported transaction, however, was not offered.
 Ford secured a government contract authorizing him to manufacture eagle boats for war service. Such manu- facture, it Is said, netted him ap- proximately 29,OOo.O 900, It be came current gossip, as result of what in- spiration it Is not known. that Ford had graciously returned such profit to the government, and thus set an example for others who grew rich lover night" as result of war enter prises.
 The accuracy of the report had never been questioned until Secre- tary Mellon eXerted himself. The sit- uation is interesting by virtue of the fact that Edsel Ford, son of Henry Ford, is candidate for Congress. and Henry Ford has taken up the cudgel against those republican sena- tors who voted to seat Senator New berry of Michigan.
 And Mir, Mellon Is said to be an opponent of Mr. Ford in his efforts to secure Muscle Shoals Mellon is manufacturer of aluminium. J. w Worthington, agent for Ford. has stated that Ford will manufacture aluminium at Muscle Shoals.
 Warrington. in a private letter which was eventually published, gave that fact as one of the reasons why in his opinion the plans of Ford should not be brought to the atten- ton of the Secretary of the Treasury

Florence Not Likely
 To Be Much Affected
 By Impending Strike

Florence, March 31.-(Special.)- The impending nationwide strike Of coal miners will probably have very little effect on labor or economic con. ~5'tions in the tri-cities of Alabama, far as the immediate future Is ! ,ncerned, it is thought here.
 There are no mines in this imme- s$iate section, the nearest being on flhe Northern Alabama railroad be- ftween RusseLville and Jasper. From present indications these mines will hot be affected by the strike and it ieems to be very doubtful whether any of the mining districts of this state will be seriously involved. Coal dealers here. in the main, report sat- isfactory stocks of coal on the yards and with mild weather prevailing the present supply is expected to last for several weeks. Prices are lower than in many months and while there is a possibility of a slight increase in the price of high grade Kentucky coal for domestic purposes there is said to be little liklihood of any ad- vance on the large quantity of Ala bania coal sold here.

in the mails asking voters to scratch
the name of United States Senator

substitute that of George Carey. of
Cheshire. Mr.. Roraback said these
letters bore the names of clergymen

Carey is not a candidate on any

afternoon before Federal Judge Will

Approximately 125 railroads have
settled the strike in one way or an

that a further continuance of the in

The lawyer asserted that it was

court here could grant an injunction

and added that the very fact that
this government injunction has not
been the basis for any contempt pro-
ceedings is highly significant or 'he

"The present government injunc-

the records of the court as a useless
