COAL INQUIRY
To GET UNDER
WAY IN MONTH
House Passes Measure fot
Commission and Sends It
Over to Senate.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service.

The proposed Governmental in
vestigation OF the coal industry
as recommended by President
Harding. will be under way within
a month. II was predicted today
by Administration leaders.
The winslow bill. creating Fed
eral coal commission to carry out
the probe, was sent to the Senate
today following it's passage by the
House. The measure was intended
primarily to find Legislative
remedy to prevent future recur'
rences of the mine strike and re-
sultant coal shortage.
Sponsors of the bill believe its
passage will be facilitated by Sen
ate leaders in order to have the
commission at work before the
winter coal rush" is started. In
It's present form, the bill authorizes
the commission to delve into the
profits Of operators and producing
companies and 1t Is believed this
power could be used by the Gov
ernment to prevent coal profiteering
during the winter months.
The presence of the bonus bill
in the Senate, II was said, would
delay final enactment OF the Wins.
low bill for possibly two weeks.
Senator McCumber (RepJ Of North
Dakota. in charge of the bonus.
announced today he would agree to
taking II up In the Senate as soon
as the bonus Is passed.
McCumber also declared he would
not object to earlier consideration OF
the measure, which President Hard
ing asked in his message to Congress.
II a date were agreed upon for q
final vote on the bonus.
IF we get an agreement for final
vote on the bonus" McCumber said,
Il shall be glad to lay the bonus
aside temporarily for consideration
OF the coal bill"
The full force OF Administration
support will be in back OF the bill
when It does reach the debating
stage in the Senate. II was expect.
ed that Democratic opposition would
be directed toward amending the
bill rather than to prevent its pas.
sage.
The bill, as II now stands, provides
for a report from the commission 10
Congress and the President by Janu-
ary l. 1923. This provision, II was
said, would result in the enactment
Of remedial legislation for future
peace in the coal fields some time
during the next short session Of
Congress. At any rate, the Govern
ment would be given ample authority
to prevent a recurrence Of the pres
ent strike during the summer months
OF next year, II was said.
Speculation was rife today on the
possible personnel of the commit ssion.
All appointments. which are TO be
made by the President. must meet
confirmation by the Senate. All
members, too. must represent the
public.

ny International News Service.


The Harding. .Lasker ship sub.
silly bill, drafted by the Admins.
tration to perpetuate the American
MERCHANT marine, was laid high and
dry today upon the legislative
shelf of Congress.
With President Harding with!
drawing his demand for its consid-
Grafton at the present session Of
Congress, both House and Senate
leaders heartily agreed to postpone
action on 1t until after the Con-
gressional elections in November.
The strong protest of Congressman
against its enactment before the
elections. 1t was said, had caused
the Presidents action.
While the bill never did meet
with favor among the rank and
file in the House, the Administra-
ton had obtained sufficient sup
port In the Senate to send the bill
at least into debate. Its passage in
the House, however, could not have
been secured. for Congressman
openly avowed they would vote to
send II back into committee rather
than face the issue Of voting to
pass II.
There were indications today the
measure would be called up in the
House just as soon as Congressmen
returned to Washington from their
tests at the polls" next Novem-
Der.
"The ship subsidy bill is not dead
by any means" said Representative
Mondell (Rep) OF Wyoming, Admin
will follow the Presidents sugges-
ton and postpone action on it just
for the present. believe II will
be taken up late In November and
may even be passed before the De.
cember short session."

Russian Question is
The Foremoet One

The new European economic confer
ence which opens today In the Peace
Palace at The Hague is called to con-
slider questions relating to Russia in
her economic relations with her neigh
bors. 1t is virtually an adjournment
of the Genoa conference, which came
to an end the latter part Of May with
out having reached any solution of
Russian problems. The decision to
postpone action concerning Russia was
induced largely by the desire of the
European powers to persuade the
United States to participate. But the
American government is not to be
represented at The Hague any more
than it was at the conference i'm Italy.
While the Genoa conference was
nominally economic, it soon developed
animated political discussions. The
Hague gathering, composed exclusive
ly of experts, is designed to be con-

garded as fundamentally necessary
for the restoration Of productivity in
Russia; it also claimed heavy financial
damages for the participation of the
Allies in military operations against
the Soviet regime.
The French government set forth
certain arguments strikingly similar
TO those which earlier had come out of
Washington. Premier Poincare de-
clared the reconstruction of Russia
depended upon the revival of agricul-
tural production and this, he said,
could not be obtained without a
change in regime that would assure
the peasants the proceeds of their la
Dor. M. Poincare referred specifically
to the attitude of the Soviet govern
ment with respect to its refusal to
restore the property Of foreigners; to

indemnify owners for damages sus-
tanned, or recognize the Russian debt.
This debt, he said, should be treated
on the same basis ss the debts Of the
Allies when settlement was reached,
provided Russia had agreed to the
same conditions as the Allies, but
there was no reason to accord Rus
sia exceptional treatment in reducing
her war debt, as had been suggested
at Genoa.
Representatives of all the powers
present at Genoa, with the exception
of Russia and Germany, have been in
Vited to The Hague.
Germany was excluded on account
of the secret signing Of the Rapallo
treaty April II last with Russia at a
time when the Genoa conference was
in session. t-'t.;

Soy Beans Popular New Crop


Clemson College, June 1O.-"Many
farmers are finding soy beans a very
satisfactory substitute cash crop as
the ravages of the boil weevil in
crease" says Prof. C. P. Blackwell
in Extension Circular Sc, "Soy
Beans" which has just been published
to meet the demands for information
On this new crop for South Carolina
farmers. The circular, which was
prepared by Prof. C. P. Blackwell,
Agronomist, and S. l.. Jeffords, Spe-
cialist in Pastures and Forage Crops,
discusses briefly varieties, soil adap-
tation, soil preparation, methods of
planting, incubation, fertilizers, linn
ing, time of planting, rate of seeding,
methods of cultivation, time and meth
eds of harvesting, harvesters, etc.
The soy bean is safe crop, says
he circular, because it is easily cul-
rvated, and is subject to few diseases
and is bothere by few insect pests. 1t

Let for the seed, it can be fed to any

Hence the fact that it is gradually
growing in popularity in this state.

economic questions.
When the American government de.
clined on May Is the invitation to be
represented at The Hague, this de-
cision was received with expressions
of regret in Europe, particularly from
Great Britain and France, for it was
felt abroad that nothing Of a perma-
nent and international nture could be
undertken for the restoration of Rus
sia without the cooperation of the
United States, whose wealth, re-
sources and political power made her
indispensable to any great world res
toration movement.
The Washington government in re-
fusing to go to The Hague, criticized
the attitude of Russia as a bar to
any settlement and characterized the
Soviet reply to the Allied terms as
lacking any definiteness as basis for
parley. Nevertheless, Washington
said, the American government al
ways was ready to join other govern

ments in arranging for an inquiry by
experts into the economic situation in
Russia and the necessary remedies.
"This government" the American
communication said, "is unable to con-
clude that it can helpfully participate
in the meeting at The Hague, as this
would appear TO be the continuance
under different nomenclature of the
Genoa conference and destined to en-
countr the same difficulties if the at
ttud disclosed in the Russian mem
orandum of May IL remains unchang-
ed.

tivity in Russia, the essential condi-
tons of which are still to be secured
and must in the nature of things be

refusal to attend the Hague gather
ing, said the American government
still maintained there could be no rec
cgnition of Soviet Russia unless the
government of Moscow conformed to
the principles of safety of life, recog~
milton of firm guarantees of private
property, the sanctiLy or a contract
and the rights Of free labor. Until
these things were established and car
ried out, Mr.. Hoover said ne held with
Secretary of State Hughes that there
could be no productivity in Soviet
Russia.
France, early in June, in a mem
orandum to the powers concerned, de-
manded that the Soviet Russian gov
ernment withdraw it's memorandum
presented at the Genoa conference
May IL as a condition for French par
ticipation at The Hague. This note
of May IL, prevented to the powers at
