Negotiations Opened.

washington, Aug. 80 (by the AS

NAL negotiations by the United
States with soviet Russia with a
view of ascertaining from the
Moscow authorities whether they
would approve the sending OF an
American technical commission"
there to investigate and report on
economic conditions, was revealed
today in an official statement is
sued at the state department. Am
bassador Houghton at Berlin, was
said to have already opened infor-
NAL communications with the
soviet officials and these are now
in progress between the Ambassa-
dor and Leonid Krassin, soviet
minister of foreign trade and COM
merce.
The statement explained that
the American ambassador at Ber-
lin had made inquiries with regard
to the attitude of the soviet au-
thorities snohd this government

future an. expert technical commits
sion to study and report on the
economic situation there" adding
that "there mad been no question
at any time of sending any COM

the economic situation in Russia
which would be useful in the event
it was decided in the future to con-
tribute to the restoration of that
country. At the department and
elsewhere in diplomatic quarters,
however, the assertion was made
that the proposed commission was
not intended to have negotiatory
power and in no way was to be
regarded as a preliminary step to
ward recognition of the soviet gov
ernment.
italy. Belgium, Great Britain and
Japan have already proposed an
investigation by experts into the
economic situation in Russia. The
United States, however, declined to
join with the other four allied
powers when the conference was
called to discuss Russian affairs at
The Hague in June. At that time,
it was recalled today, Secretary
Hughes declined the conference in
vitation but advised the nations
participating in that meeting that
this government "has always been
ready to join X xxx in arranging
for an inquiry by experts into the
economic situation in Russia and

Immediately upon their arrival
here, the officials of the Illinois
Mine Workers went into confer

several hours. After the meeting
Mr.. Harrington issued the follow

arrest. it was said. the indictment
was issued for murder in the

RESCUE RS MAKE
HEROIC EFFORTS
To SAVE MINERS
Wives and Families of En-
tombed Men Assemble at
the Mouth of the Shaft
and Join in Prayers.

Jackson, Calf, Aug. 3.--A neN
effort was started today FOR the
rescue of the torty-three or more
men entombed in the Argonaut
mine here since last Sunday night
While work was continued at the
difficult task of reopening a man
way from the $500 foot level Of
the adjacent Kennedy mine int
the 4,200 foot level of the Argonaut
workings, other crews set to work
to break through a wall of rock and
dirt from the Kennedy's $500 foot
level which would admit of en-
trance into the Argonaut shaft at a
depth of 1850 feet.
Mining experts directing the res
cue work would not estimate the
length of time required to reopen
Ieither of the tunnels, but the be-
lief was prevalent that neither crew
tcould hope to reach the imprisoned
miners in less than forty EIGHT
hours
"Becartse of the uncertainty of
results in the tunnelling work" said
said II. NJ. Woliun. state mine
safety expert, and consulting en-
gineer for the United States bureau
of mines, Eve decided to have
more than one iron in the fire, so

The wiIqs and families of the en-
tombed men assembled at the
mouth ,of the shaft this afternoon
to listen to and join in prayers for
the safe delivery of the men.
Today rats began pouring from
the Argunaut mine in droves,
Poison gas fumes are driving them
IOut of the lower levels and they
came scampering up the timber
ling by the hundreds. Two years
ago, when the ArgonaYt burned, the
same thing occurred on the second
day after the flames broke out. All

are infested with the rodents.

HOUSE FAILS To
REACH VOTE ON
The FUEL BILL
Measure to Control Coal
Distribution Encounters a
Storm of Debate; Goes
Over Until Today.

Washington, Aug. 80 (by the AS

Into an unexpected storm of talk
late today and was forced to quit
until tomorrow without reaching
a vote.
Every change proposed was
Ieither thrown out on a point OF
order or decisively defeated. At
the end of the all-day wranglc,
Chairman Winslow, of the interstate
commerce committee, who was in
'chargc of the measure, predicted 1t
would go through as framed.
Senate Ready To Act.
As the house worked on the
measure, which its supporters
claimed was all the legislation
needed to meet the emergency
caused by the coal and rail strikes
word reached leaders that attempts
to settle the anthracite strike might
succeed, and that the senate was
ready 10 take up house coal bills
las soon as it was through with the
bonus.
President Harding's original sug-
Eestion for creation of buying
and selling coal agency was put
before the house by Representative
Anderson, republican, of Minnesota.

izing seizure of mines if found
necessary in connection with agency
activities. but it went out on a
point of order. Advised that an

dent to take over railroads in the
event of grim necessity" would 60

bers favoring such legislation an
nounced that nothing was to be
gained by courting certain rejection.
Rejects Amendment.
With little ceremony, the house
voted down an amendment delegat-
ing the distribution powers TO the
Interstate commerce commission in
place of a federal fuel distributor,
Iand a moment later rejected an
amendment fixing the distributors
salary at $500. Chairman Wins
low asserted that it was "a mans
job" and that the president ought
not to be hampered by restrictions
which might force him to select
one untitled for the task.
Representative Fairchild, re-
publican, New York, found few sup
porting his proposal that coal dis
Itributed should be "sold at reas-
enable price to the ultimate con-
lsumer." An unsuccessful attempt
was made by Representative Deni-
lson, republican, Illinois, to strike
out what some members character
iZed as the heart of the bill, this
being the provision that the fuel
distributor, in trying to meet the
emergency. should prevent extor-
ton in prices charged for coal and
other fuel"
Proposal Defeated.
An amendment by Representa- E
tive Boies, republican, Iowa, which
would have ordered so per cen.
reduction in the freight rate on
coal, to begin within ten days, was
thrown out even before its reading
had been concluded. Representa-
tive Graham, republican, Pennsyl- l.
vania, also failed to get through
an amendment limiting the life OF
! the fuel distributor to six or twelve
months and the proposal that this
officers appointment should be
confirmed by the senate, was de-
Ifeated after Chairman Winslow
had explained it was calculated to
cause delay in getting the machin-
lery under way
