ATTACKs-ON WOOL SCHEDULE
 OF THE EARIFF BILL

Washington, July 28.-Assaults on the wool schedule of the tariff bill were continued today from both sides of the senate with proponents striking back vigorously and winning out on each of the three Pon calls taken during the seven hours session. Discussion was so extended that committee amendments Tn only one paragraph were disposed of, but the senate was ready for a vote on another garagraph at the finish and leaders were hopeful, but not at all con fident, that consideration of the sched- ule could be completed tomorrow.
 Senator Lenroot, republican, Wiscon- sin, created something of a stir early in the day by asserting that there was un- intentionally concealed protection in the schedule for manufacturers of woolen cloth, while late in the day Senator Nel- son. republican, Minnesota, attacked the wool rates in particular and the whole bill in general.
 This is loves labor lost Senator Nelson said in summing up. We are in the hands of the wool Philistines. They have us by the throat, and perhaps 1t would be wiser to take the medicine in silence and turn your heao toward Providence and hope to get relief from that source
 "Onslaughts from the democratic side were made by Senators Walsh of Mass achusetts Simmons. North arolna, and Pomerene, Ohio Calling attention that the finance committee majority, upon reaching the wool schedule, had ceased to make appreciable cuts in rates as 1t had done with a number of other sche- dues, Senator Simmons said wool was 1 the very keystone" which had bound the republicans together in "a hard and fast compact" that If the rate on raw wool were cut down, look out for re- bellion on the part of the agriculture bloc: look out for the slaughter of your i high rates upon the manufactured arti- cles'
 1 Arguing that the woolen industry dio not need high protection, Senator Walsh presented figures concerning the Ameri' can Woolen company, showing, he said that the companys "pre-war record o profteering was, during the war periot entirely eclipsed." He asserted that tn company's profits had increased iron i s2,6SS. 900 to $15,500,000 and it's work 1 ing capital advanced from $21,000,0o0 il 1914 to S64.000,0 900 in 1919 "all out o war profits" Mr. Walsh said the act ual earnings in 1918 had been ss3.S6 pc share of common stock, most of whicl stock he charged was water
 The duties on dress goods then wer approved 35 to 19. and the debate o the duties and suitings begun. Senate
 Lenroot sought to make reductions i those ranging from five to 10 per cent asserting that the Underwood law rate were prohibitive as shown by the ah
 sence of imports, but his amendmen
 was defeated 2 to 24. Three demo crats. Broussard Kendrick and Rans
 dell. opposed the amendment, and eigh republicans, Borah, Capper, Jones c Washington; Lenroot, Nelson, Norbecl Sterling and Wadsworth supported 1t.
 The vote then came on the committe
 amendment and stood 27 to 21. This wa
 one less than quorum and the senat
 was forced to recess with the issue sti
 pending.

Driven From Westport by Nationals After a Weeks Operations by Land and Sea.

Dublin. July 2s (By the A. P)-The successful offensive of the national ar my resulting in the capture of West port after weeks operations by land and sea is described in a statement given out today for publication. It ap- pears that the irregulars, who had made Westport their headquarters. were com pletely surprised by the landing of tho national forces from the waterside and when they found themselves attacked from the land by General McKeon's troops they were forced to flee before they had time to destroy the public buildings.
 Conducted by Colonel Commandant O'Maliey. the expedition was fitted out last week, sailing from Dublin under sealed orders and proceeding by way of Larne, County Donegal. Cley bay was reached early Monday The nationals communicated a number of fishing boats in the bay and dispatched a party to the Rossmoney coast guard station, five miles from Westport. Landings were ef- fected from both sides of the pinensula Fire was immediately opened by the na- tionalists. Tn a few moments the whi!t flag was hosted and the occupants o1 the station emerged cheering wildly who had been taken prisoner and detain 1 ed in the station by the irregulars. The! | included CoInmandant Reynolds wh
 was attached to the nFnth western com mand under General McKeon.

Young was candidate for congress of his district making his cam paien on a strictly wet" platform.

TEXTILE STRIKE RETARDs
 BUSINESS IN NEW ENGLAND

Boston, July 2S-A fundam mental ten- dency toward real improvement in busi- ness activity in New England has been hampered by exceptional conditions such as textile, coal and railroad strikes, says the monthly review of the Federal Re- serve bank of Boston, made public to- day.
 Tt is certain that the coal strike Is daily becoming more serious to New England, and there is now an increasing feeling of apprehension in this district the review continues. Stocks of most sizes of hard coal for domestic heating purposes are practically exhausted and those of soft coal for power uses are dang erously low The railroad strike has not affected New England business to any great extent as yet. but through the combination of increasing freight traffic and the inability to make as many re- pairs as necessary. the number of sur plus freight cars in serviceable condition on the New England railroads is uncom- fortably small.
 Perhaps the best gauge of what busi- ness conditions might be if the adverse influences mentioned above could be dis regarded is the recent trend of commod- ity prices The prices of basic raw ma terials have been tending strongly up- ward for several months and more re- gently have been followed by manufac- tured goods, although to lesser degree. The influence of higher prices has even spread to retail commodities and some merchants have found it necessary to in- crease the prices of certain of their mer- chandise. This phenomenon is common to every period of increasing business activity.
 At the same time the woolen manu- i facturers of New England are coping with this very problem. the price of raw i wool has advanced on the average of 7s per cent. since last autumn, whereas woolen goods, although slightly higher have not had even approximately as | large an advance. Clothing prices remain practically stationary There are many other industries facing similaC condi tions."
 1 Manufacturing activity in New Eng
 land, the review finds, is now on a basi. ! of so per cent. of maximum capacity. 2 l rate not far below normal

MINERS LEADER CONFIDENT
 OF CALL FOR CONFERENCE

Philadelphia, July 2s.-Etforts to bring about an interstate joint confer ence of miners and operators to end the soft coal strike were continued today according to leaders of the United Mine Workers who are here conferring with John L. Lewis their international pres ident. Mir. Lewis reiterated that he had every reason to believe that such a con- ference would be called within a few days.
 The union leaders scanned with such interest the reports coming from the central competitive fields of western Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana anc Michi- gan on the attitude of the coal opera tors. One leader said information was drifting in that operators who had been standing together against an interstate conference were breaking up in spots.'' This he said was a hopeful sign of an early conference.
 Mir. Lewis said definitely today there would be no settlement in the anthra- cite regions until an agreement is reach ed in the central competitive fields When that is brought about he added there will be a settlement in the hard coal regions forthwith
 The miners chief today refused the request of the governor of Michigan tr permit the production of coal in that state to supply state and municipal in stitutions.

The biggest hope for Europe lies in some arrange ment which will permit English and American bankers to take charge of Flu ropean affairs until the rate of exchange in all countries is firm.
 "I once thought that a courtry's pTOSpeTltV COulu ne measured DV the 1n- dustry and ability of it's people That was before this war, however. Now, believe that the sale of exchange regu- lates the prosperity of a nation. Certain ly Europe does not seem very prosper ous and the rate of exchange Is certainly bad over there.
 'It seems to me that Europe Is dealing 1 in false hopes. They seem to believe America is ready to invest her money in chips and whetstones, as we say ir | Indiana. Unfortunately that isn't the 1 truth and that seems to be one big diff fculty in the way of a resumption of normal times"

AN UNACcoUNTABLE SLUMP
 IN GERMAN MARKS. F s-s

New York July 2s.-Another collapse in German marks occurred today in ths local foreign exchange market. quota- tions being at the rate of r S-s cents 2 hundred marks. This represents a de- crease of 1 1-2c a hundred under last nights close. The normal. or pre-war price of the mark. was 2S.S cents each.
 While. no definite reason can be as signed for the slump at this time. it Is known that unfavorabie dispatches con- corning the present German economic situation and reported crop failure were contributing factors. Local dealers also report that there has been some buying for German account. :
 The weekly statement of the state ban kof Germany shows another in crease of nearly two billion marks .n the note circulation. indicating furthe--i activity on the part of German money printing presses.
