PROPOSES NEW
 ASSOCIATION
Favor Establishment of West Division of American Min
 ing Congress

DENVER, June 21.-Resolutions en- couraging national legislation to pre- vent fraudulent sale of securities and promotions, favoring the establish ment of a western division of the American Mining Congress, to em- brace 13 western states, and recom- mending congressional action to bring about stabilization of silver, were passed by delegates to the Western Mining Conference in their closing session here today. More than 100 mining men among the conferees to enlist the cooperation of the various metal trades workers organizations throughout the United States in a cam paign to build up the mining activities of the country and to oppose the Deni- son Sky measure now before congress.
 The formation of silver producers association for the purpose of uniting North and South American interests and giving the United States control of the silver market, was advocated by Bulkelely Wellst chairman of the Colorado metal mining fund. He re- commended the establishment of an executive agency in this country to direct the activities of the consolida- tion. It was intimated that the organ ization of such an association, com. peting with London, would serve wrest the control of the silver market from England.

HOOVER URGES CONSTRUCTION
 IF RIVER DAM
Recommends Action by Con gress Without Waiting For
 Commission Report

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Prompt construction by the government of a dam at Boulder Canyon for the pro tection of the Imperial Valley in Cal ifornia against the flood waters of the Colorado was urged today by Secre- tary Hoover before the house commit tee on the irrigation of arid lands.
 Secretary Hoover, speaking as chair man of the Colorado river commission stated that he earnestly recommend ed action by congress upon the project without awaiting until the commits sion could report a comprehensive plan for irrigation and power plants at other places along the river.
 It was the duty of the federal gov ernment, Hoover said, to take prompt steps to protect the Imperial Valley from inundation by floods from the Colorado river, and the contemplated dam and reservoir to be constructed for that purpose, he explained, would produce sufficient revenue through the sale of water for irrigation pur poses and by the generation of hydro. electric power, to reimburse the gov ernment for the cost of construction The commission, he said, favored treat ing the project independently and promptly. provided congress stipulated that it should not vest any priority of rights which might interfere with the subsequent apportionment and dis tribution of water by the commission among the states in the basin of the Colorado.

PARIS, June 21.-(By The Associ- ated Press. )-" Prohibition has Tailed in the United States, but it is not responsible for the alarming increase in the use of narcotics" declared Ernest Guy. who has been in the United States for two years study ing prohibition for the French wine growers. The statement of NJ. Guy was made during a public address.
 Tt is the Germans" M. Guy charged, who are spreading narcotics throughout the world. What is hap pening in the United States is but one phase of this widespread plan to demoralize their former enemies.
 The United States is bound to re- turn to the use of light wines and beers. There is now more whiskey consumed in America than before the Volstead act became a law
 Prohibition has been the most in- teresting social experiment. the world has yet seen, but owing to the inn possibility of enforcing the law, the United States is bound to modify it"

Troops Rebel; Sun Vat Sen is Prisoner
Hopes Tariff and Bonus May De Law Before August IS

WASHINGTON, June 21. - Should the tariff bill occupy the attention of the senate for much longer period than now anticipated, there is a prob ability that the soldier bonus measure will be acted upon before a final vote on the tariff. Chairman McCumber of the finance committee, said today in the senate. He added, however, that he did not want to prophecy that this would be done.
 Senator McCumber said he hoped that both measures could be disposed of by August 15, and that he did not want one to block the other. He ex. pressed the wish that a unanimous consent agreement could be had to take up the bonus and dispose of it iwthin a given number of days, but stated that he appreciated this was an impossibility.
 The North Dakota senator's state ment was made in response to an ad dress by Senator Jones, Democrat New Mexico, in which early action on the bonus was urged.

NEW INVENTION
 ANNOUNCED. BY
 RADIO WIZARD
Senator Marconi of Wireless Fame Informs Institute of
 Latest Rad4o Apparatus

NEW YORK, June 21.-Senator Gug lielmo Marconi, wonder man of wire less, yesterday announced the inven- tion of what might be termed a radio searchlight, by means of which radio waves, which can be reflected like light waves, may be sent in a given direction in beam, instead of heing scattered to all points of the compass
 The famous Italian said he believed the invention could be utilized in such a manner as to rid the sea of some of it's terrors, for with a revolving re- Hector, the transmitter would consti- ute redio lighthouse, capable of flashing guiding beams nearly hun dred miles
 Addressing a joint meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engi- neers on his latest discoveries, the in- ventor said of the proposed radio light house:
 By means of me revolving beam of electrical radiation, it is possible for ships, when within a certain dis tance, to ascertain in thick weather the bearing and position of the light house.
 Tt seems to me that it should be pos sible to design apparatus by means of which a ship could radiate or project a divergent beam of the short wave rays in any desired direction, which rays, if coming across metallic ob- ject, such as another steamer, would be reflected back to a receiver on the sending ship and thereby immediately reveal the presence and bearing of the other ship in a fog or thick weather. One further great advantage of such an arrangement would be that it would be able to give worning of the presence and bearings of ships, even should these ships be unprovided with any kind of radio"

MaximumStrength
 of Army Officers Is Set At I2,OOO

WASHINGTON, June q. House and senate conferees on the army ap- propriation bill agreed late today on a maximum of 12,000 officers as the permanent strength for the army for the next 12 months. The house had provided for only 11.OO0, while the senate amended the bill to provide an average of 12,50O for the coming year.
 The agreement leaves one question of importance to be decided, the com mittees already having settled on an enlisted strength of 125,000 for the next year. Methods of reducing the number of officers from the present number of more than 13,000 to that prescribed by the bill have proved a stumbling block, and it was said after today's meeting that in all probability the senate amendment covering the reduction would have to be rewritten before it would be acceptable to the house delegation. Several members of the conference felt, however, that another day or two would result in an agreement on that feature.

WASHINGTON June 21.-Confi- dence that very favorable reaction" will be encountered by members of congress who take the administration ship subsidy bill before their constitu encies prior to it's consideration by the house, is expressed by President Hard ing in a letter to Representative Mon leader, giving formal approval to the plan to press the measure to a vote immediately after the bill has been sent to conference by the house.
 Presenting a detailed statement of reasons favoring passage of the bill at this session, the president in his let ter made public today, declared the public interest would not permit of postponement until the December ses- sion, in view of the loss entailed by the governments ship holdings, which the bill is designed eventually to get into private hands.
 Despite "every drive toward econ omy'', this loss, the president pointed dollars during the fiscal year now closing.
 Asserting the question was mot to be prejudiced by the old and worn out cry against subsidies" Harding urged that if that was used ito awaken pub lie hostility it should me emphasized that we are subsiding today by pay ing losses of $5O,000,000 a year for inadequate service of no permanence while the pending measure contem-

Organized Labor at Conven- ton Practically Commits
 Itself to New Program
FINAL VOTE IS DELAYED
Proposals to Curb Courts Are Greeted With Cheers
 by Many Delegates

CINCINNATI, June 21.-(By the As sociated Press)-Organize labor vir- tually committed itself today at the American Federation of Labor eonven tion to a program favoring adoption of four constitutional amendments, the repeal of the Sherman antitrust law. and the enactment by congress of two other measures for the avowed pur- nose of curbing the courts because of decisions adverse to labor.
 A final vote, however, was delayed until tomorrow so that delegates might continue to voice their feeling against what was described by the spe cial policy committee reporting tho program as "a judicial oligarchy that is threatening to set itself up above the legislatures and above the people themselves.
 The program of amendments in- cludes a congressional veto of SUI preme court decisions, the guarantee to workers of the right to organize, to bargain collectively, and to strike; the prohibition of child labor, and the adoption of an easier method than that of the present for changing the federal constitution. The new laws proposed would interpret sections of the Clayton act, which the committee said the supreme court had manifest ly ignored and overridden," and a new child labor law that would meet ob- iections raised by the supreme, court in setting aside former enactments.
