HOUSE PASSES BILL, 2I9-55,
FOR AN INQUIRY INTO COAL

was lost with the Bland bill in, the
Democrats rallied more strength and
Republican leaders caucussed. Finally
a compromise was reached under which
the rule was to be reported for the
Winslow BILL but II would permit un-
limited debate and amendments. Both
sides claimed victory In the skirmish.
In this situation when the house met
it was determined to bring the Wins
low bill up in regular order. 1t was
calendar Wednesday and on the call
of committees. the Weights and Meas
ures Committee Is the only one ahead
OF the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee. Weights and Meas
ures offered nothing and the COM
merce Committee offered the Winslow
bill This saved House vote on the
rule vita two roll calls.
In presenting the measure Mr.. Wins
low outlined its provisions and its lirni-
tations. declaring II was not in the
mind OF the President or the trainers
of the bill TO set up ay agency to run
the coal business but merely to find
the fac.s for the public.
Says Bill Has No "Teeth."
Representative Bland Qnd) followed
and complained that the Winsiow bill

knew nothing about the industry. He
said the bill had no teeth" and the
investigation would be stopped by court
injunction. the same as Federal Trade
Commission efforts to find facts were
stopped. He cited the long hearings
held by the Labor Committee and said
1t was agreed that both sides in the
Industrial dispute should be represent
ed in fact-finding agency. He want
cd a bill predicated on the knowledge
gained from the hearings substituted
for the Winslow bill which he charac-
terized as hurried and thoughtless
Job The measure, he said, was not as
strong as the Federal Trade Commis-
sion law. which had been defeated in
the courts.
Representative Garrett (Tenn.)
summed up Democratic opposition to
the measure in the statement that 1t
offered no relief In tho present situa-
tion or any similar situation that might
arise.

WET SPECIAL PLEADERS
FIND NO DR. Y EXPONENTS
Anti Volstead Associations
Debate One Sided Affair.

In an untenanted store at 2 Rector
street the best spellbinders of the AS
ISOLATION Against the Prohibition
Amendment gathered at noon yesterday
to argue with any random supporters of
the volstead law who might wander in.
More than a hundred men and boys and
three or four women gathered to hear.
When the meeting was thrown open
men told of druggists who couldn't pay
the rent before prohibition and now
were riding in motor cars. Others said
prohibition was a failure because il
couldn't make folks do what they didn't
want to.
This kept on for more than an hour.
Finally the crowd dwindled to nothing
ness and the assault upon the Eigh-
teenth Amendment closed with the
amendment still attached to the Con-
stitution.

NEW YORK, August 17.-Standard
Oil stocks were the leaders on the
curb exchange today. The big specu-
iation in Indiana shares. in the Stand
ard Oil of New York and in Imperial
Oil of Canada was all founded on the
belief that these Standard Oil subsd-
iaries took occasion of the drop in
oil prices at the close of July and had
laid in large stores of low-priced
crude. placing them now in the posi-
ton to make lot of money from the
advance. Most good judges believe
this advance will come before the end
of the year.
Standard Oil of Indiana has a maxi
mum rise of two points. while Stand
ard of New York made new high for
the year at 45s. At this figure it was
up 25 points from last Saturday.
Imperial Oil of Canada had an ex-
treme gain of points. International
Petroleum followed in the wake of
the high priced issues: On light trad

Independent Oils Active.
Independent oils, while not as con-
spicuous as the Standard Oil group.
felt. nevertheless. the inspiration Of
the great strength Of the latter. New
England Fuel crossed 73 for the first
time. and Mutual Oil and Maracaibo,
both worked upward.
With the exception of Macy & Co
common and preferred and Philips
born preferred, the industrial list
held well. The new Macy stocks and
the Philipsborn speciality felt the ef-
feet of heavy realizing sales and re-
ceded a half point to a point. Cold
wyn Pictures and Phillip Morris were
fractionally higher In the motor
section there were gains of half q
point in Packard and Durant common.

ord-Breaking Number
of Buyers in Coast Cities
by PAUL c. HEDRICK

D1 fASL u hCDftASNs
Special Dispatch to The Star
SEATTLE. August IA careful
survey of business conditions in the
north Pacific coast cities shows that
up to the present moment the rail-
road strike and kindred disturbances
have had little effect either on the
trend of business or the comforts of
the people. Westbound tourist traffic
has slackened somewhat. but only so
far as the railroads are concerned.
Motor tourist traffic continues very
heavy.
There is no tendency to raise the
prices Of food or fuel. Steamship lines
between Pacific coast ports handle a
normal volume of food essentials.
Puget Sound boats bring abundant
supplies of fish, poultry and produce
to the local markets and open shop
coal mines in western Washington
produce all the coal needed for manu-
featuring and domestic uses.
Recent trade expositions in the
northwest. promoted by manufac-
turers, jobbers and wholesalers. have
been unusually successful and have
brought to the coast cities record
breaking numbers of buyers from the
interior. These have placed orders
with more assurance than at any
time since 1919. Retail trade is good
and a heavy fall business is expected.
