STRIKING AT OPPONENTS OF
 TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE


 Washington June 5.-A policy of striking back at opponents Of the admin istration tariff bill was agreed upon to- day by senate republican leaders. Senator Watson of Indiana delivered the first of a planned series of speeches in the sen- ate which leaders said were designed not only to place the republican viewpoint on the tariff before the country but also to disclose some of the sources of opposi- tion to the bill.
 Most of Senator Watson's address was directed at democratic attacks which have been made in the senate in the six weeks the bill has been under considera- tion. In passing, however, he charged a foreign propaganda against the measure, referring generally to those whom he said had sought to get the United States into the league of nations and specitcal- ly to some representatives of foreign na- tions in this country.
 Senator Watsen's address of two hours drew a reply of slightly greater length from Senator Simmons, North Carolina, leader of the democratic forces in the tariff fight. Senator McCumber, North Dakota, in charge of the bill, replied briefly to Senator Simmons and then the senate proceeded to discussion of and votes on dye and other schedules in the measure.

June 5.-Retail soft coal prices will rise" as much as Sl.ta a ton because of the advance in the price C -oal al the mines under the agreements reached last week with operators in the producing fields, Secretary Hoover was inforI ] today by Roeerick Steph- rns. Of New York. chairman Of the board af directors of the National Retail Coal Merchants association.
 Mir. Hoover met with about forty members Of the association 10 discuss tho cooperation of the retailers in the commerce apartments efforts to prevent runaway coal prices during the strike but the conference developed principally into a colioquy between Mr. stephens and Mr Hoover over a probable increase in the price of coal to the householder. The voluntary cooperation of the asso- clztion Co prevent undue price advances was pledEcd oy Mr. Stephens.
 Establishment of a maximum of s3.t0 a ton for coal al the mines. Mir. Stephens contended. would mean an increase of gfT5 a ton In tho retail urics in Maine and the Northwest, while immediate nd vances could be expected In New York and Chicago.
 The necessity for advancing the re- tan prices he said, was due 10 the prices fixed by the operators and the long trans 1ortation now necessary from non union ields Arrangements fixing fair prices ulth operators however. he ad1sd. lad modified rises in the retail prices which night have reached higher levels.
 Mfr Hoover declared that he simply would not stand" for retailers blaming the increases on the fair prices fixed with the operators asserting that the whols- sale price of coal had been ~educsl con- siderably and that those who had coal under contract were under a moral ob- liEation to pass the benefits of tie fair prices on Co the public.
 Mr Hoover submitted that the consum- inE public must pay reasonable hlH1. ling charge for Its coal aoovs tho cost Of the fuel. asserting ths. the present demand for coal was not heavy, there ke- irg more coal in the market than ner9eJ and that there was no tendency of prices Co harden.
 He agreed with the retailers that be- fore cases Of undue prices being charged were made the basis for statemen s by th' commerce department the facts in tacl instance should be fully investigated

Dublin, June 5.-(By the 4. P.)--In a joint statement issued this tfterno on, Eamonn De Valera and Michael Collins, feeders of the republican and Free State groups, respectively. appealed for the support of the electors for the coalition panel in the coming elections and asked that the other candidates withdraw in the national interest.
 The statement said the recent coalition agreement was accepted as the best means to insure an ordered government within the Irish nation and to secure it against perils threatened frcm without. and they expected that in tue spirit of the pact the contests should be reduced to a minimum.
 It must be remembered, said the state ment, that the country was still in a perl cd of transition, and to act as if stable conditions had been reached was im- possible and unsound. Many danger which threatened could be met only by keeping intact the forces which conE-.- tuted the national resistance during re- cent years.
