Yesterday in Congress
SENATE

Met at noon and adjourned at $40
o. m. until today at ! o'clock.
Considered but did not conclude
consideration OF the naval appro-
priation bill.
Following statements by Senators
Lodge and Watson that the admin
lstration had sent out 'feelers" with
a view to action in European eco
nomlc affairs. Senator Borah an
nounced he would withdraw his
pending amendment bearing upon
that subject. Later he said he would
hold his proposal as an amendment
to some other measure II such ac-
ton became necessary.
Senator Reed (Democrat), Mis-
souri, declaring the economic condi-
tions Of the world were public prop
erty, asserted "a little more frank
mass in dealing with the Senate and
House would be a very wise philoso-
ply to inaugurate."
Earlier in the debate Senator
Johnson (Republican), California.
insisted the .Borah proposal was
worse than the league OF nations
and more likely to embroil the coun-
try in European CONTROVERSIES and
finally make the United States a part
OF the European system.
Senator kellogg (Republican).
Minnesota, announced his opposi-
ton not only 10 the Borah proposal
but to the House provision in the
naval bill for another armament
conference.
Senator Moses (Republican), New
Hampshire, took the position that
no proposal similar TO that pending
ought to be entertained prior to a
sincere effort on the part of Europe
itself to better it's own condition.
Replying to his critics. Senator
Borah asserted he did not believe it
possible to escape the consequences
Of conditions in Europe. The Uni
ted States he said. was part Of
them and must deal in them.
Extension OF credits to Germany
upon properly secured bonds up TO a
maximum OF si,0OO.OOO,0OO for use
in buying foodstuffs in the United
States is proposed in a bill intro
duced by Senator Bursum (Repub-
lican). New Mexico.

from S324.000 to $500 900 for maxi
ing typographical maps by the geo.

PROMINENT MEN

NEW YORK. Dec. so.-CUnitet
Press)-The outstanding domestic
features OF 1922 in this country were
the coal and rail strikes. or these
the coal strike was the more import
ant as II was and Is aeutely felt BY
practically the whole country.
Thousands Of people are now SUI
serinz from ,the lack OF fuel, and,
according to authorities. no immedi-
ate relief is in sight. The rail strike,
with the consequent weakening OF
TRANSFORMATION facilities is In part
responsible for the present coal con-
dition.
After numerous negotiations had
failed the miners suspended opera
tons on April 1. They demanded
raise in wages and the operators
ahreatened a cut. The strike Affect
ed 10000 miners. 260 colleries and
rs companies. Many casualties re-
suited from battles between the min
ers and bands OF strike breakers
ehe greatest tragedy being the Her
rim massacre. in which 20 men lost
their lives.
The miners and the operators
reached an agreement in Philadel-
phia on Sept. ?. which was signed IN
Scranton on Sept. .. Operations
were resumed on Sept. II. The
axreen1ent is to hold for one year
Although their demands were not
Granted. the miners claim a victory
because their wages were not cut.
The rail- strike began on July H.
when nearly all OF the 100000 union
rail shopmen walked out. Troops
were called out in various parts Of
the country TO queil disorders and
travel was completely tied up I'M
many sections.
one OF the features OF the early
part OF the strike was the maroon
sng Of IL transcontinentai trains with
$500 passengers In the Arizona des-
ert. Several pitched battles were
fought and dozens OF bridges burn I
ed.
The year was also marked by
many disasters. In major wrecks
and air crashes. 155 people we're kill |
ed. In mine accidents, storms and /
floods g61 more lost their lives.
The Argonaut mine disaster In !
which AZ men died on August % 3
was one OF the most sensational I

A q m II istration intended
that the benefits provided in the
war risk law should take the place
of bonus or pension.
At meeting Of the Military and
Navy Committee on October Is,
1917, Secretary of War Baker said:
There was no thought of grant
ing a gratuity or anything in the
nature of a bonus to the officers
and enlisted men in the military
and naval establishments"
At the same conference Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels said Of
the war risk insurance project:
The war insurance law affords
more adequate provision to the
widows and families of the men
who served their country than any
nation ever thought of before"
Following is an extract from the
Treasury statement Of July 2S,
1917:
Instead Of proceeding along the
old course of fighting the war first
and caring afterward for injured
soldiers and sailors and the fami-
lies of those killed, the Government
