One Request Denied .

Washington, Aug. 19.-Congress to.
day was disposed to deny President
Hardings request in his strike mes,
sage for government coal agency
to buy, sell and distribute coal in
interstate commerce.
Powerful interests that have always
opposed any step which appears
likely to be fore-runner of govern
ment control and operation, indi-
Gated that the presidents suggestion
would be fought.
Congress, according to careful
survey, will approve the other recom-
mendations Of the president. These
include q coal commission to make
complete investigation Of the in
dustry in the hope of finding o per-
manent solution for the recurring
mine strikes and legislation giving
the federal government the right to
step in and punish those responsible
for such outbreaks as the recent Her
rim, Ills, massacre by authorizing
federal courts to protect the treaty
rights Of aliens. Two Mexicans were
said to have been killed at Herrin.

PEACE PROPOSAL
UP To STRIKERS
Peace Seen in Shopmen's Strike;
Both Sides Look over Plan;
Understood to Be Honor
able" Out for All Parties.
ny The United Prcs)

New York. Aug. 19.-Settlement of
the railroad shopmens strike is in
sight today.
Tentative proposals. including a
compromise on the seniority ques'
tion which are understood to have
been drawn up at the meeting of
railroad executives and brotherhood
chiefs late yesterday were submitted
to Bert NJ. Jewell representative of
the strikers here last night.
The proposals will be put before
full meeting of the railroad execu-
tives next week. After both sides
have gone over them their accept
ance or rejection will be laid be-
fore the joint committee of exeeu-
tives and brotherhood chiefs.
Under the plan reported evolved,
the men would return to work under
gentlemen's agreement by the car
riers that the seniority question
would be handled in a manner fair
to lie strikers. The strikers would
return at the reduced pay ordered
by the United States railroad labor
board which precipitated the strike
The board, however, would be ap-
pealed to and the matter of wage
adjustment would be re-opened.
Thus, ueither side will win a
clean-cut victory but the strike in
all probability be settled in a way
considered honorable" to both sides.
The carriers committee in a state
ment issued after the adjournment,
declared that certain proposals had
been made by the brotherhood chiefs,
headed by Warren S. Stone of the
engineers and that the conference
was ended pending consideration of
the proposals by the entire mem
bership of the railroad executives
organization.
Although Stone refused to divulge
the plan of settlement, he offered
the carriers he said the Strike must
be settled right here during these
conferences"

TARIFF BILL Be
VOTED ON TODAY
FOR FINAL TEST
Iona and Bitter Fight Scheduled TO
End With Ballot; Voting Slated
to start at 4 o'clock This
Afternoon.
REPUBLICANS DECLARE
WOULD NOT LOSE VOTES
Figure Three or Four May Drop Out
but Believe That Many Demo
Gratis viii Revolt; Bill Near
Complete Revision.

Washington, Aug. ~, The long
and bitter fight in the senate over
the Fordney. .McCumber tariff bill ends
today.
Nearly H. months ago-July II,
1921 to he exact-the house passed
the measure and sent II 20 the SEN
ate. Four months ago today the SEN
ate began 10 consider il and since
then 1t has been continuously before
that body.
Under terms Of the special unani-
nous consent agreement, adopted
last Saturday, the senate at four
o'clock must start voting on the
measure without further debate.
That the bill would be passed by
a fair sized margin was conceded by
even the staunchest democratic op'
ponents as they prepared the final
but apparently futile onslaught
against the few pending amendments.
Republican leaders declared they
would not lose more than three or
four of their number at the most
On the other hand 1t was believed
this margin might be offset by a
revolt of like number of demo-
Gratis, who frequently have voted
with republicans on the major sched-
ules of the bill.
The bill is almost complete re-
vision of the measure as passed by
the house. In the majority of in
stances, the duties have been in
creased over the rates adopted in
the lower chamber. This is true
of the basic commodities such as
wool, sugar. cotton, steel, chemicals,
democrats said.
New furs were inserted by the
senate. The foremost was to grant
the executive broad powers o'change
rates, if after investigation by the
tariff commission, he finds that the
difference in the costs of production
here and abroad warrant a change.
Another was the establishment of
free trade zone, at the large ports
of entry in the United States, where
raw materials can be manufactured
and shipped out without payments
of customs. This does away with
the bonded warehouse system.
The bill will be sent to conference
Immediately. With 2,07S amend
ments to iron out, the conferees are
not expected to report back for
more than a month.
