English Debt Settlement to Be Taken Up at Morning SeS-

NORRIS WOULD CHANGE ADMINISTRATORS PLAN
Foes of Ship Bill Agree to Per- init Vote if Advocates AC- cept Madden Amendment Providing for Annual Appro- priations by Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 12. An administration program pro- viding for joint consideration of the shipping bill and of the British debt settlement measures was de- veloped today in the Senate.
 The plan which is understood to have received the approval of President Harding was disclosed by Chairman Jones of the commerce committee, who is in charge of the shipping bill, after he had failed in another attempt to limit debate on the measure through unanimous consent agreement. It provides that the Senate shall adjourn from day to day, thereby providing morning hour each day during which the debt bill shall be consid- cred and after which the shipping bill is to come up. In making known the plan Senator Jones fur ther informed the Senate that fail ing to obtain an agreement to vote on the shipping bill he would seek night sessions beginning Wednes- day.
 Await Reeds Return
 Definite arrangements to put the plan into effect were deferred today as democratic senators said they wished to consult with Senator Reed of Missouri, a democratic member of the. finance committee, who re- turned to the capitol today after an absence of several weeks. before for mulating their views with respect to the proposal. Republican leaders. however, indicated after adjournment that they expected to begin opera tions under the plan tomorrow.

HR. BOWEN, representative in MI the Alabama legislature from
 Jefferson county, drew an as- signment as member of the recess committee on education, regarded by legislators generally as probably important of recess bodies in scope of it's work-compilation of com plete educational code, with attend ant study of the educational system. MT Bowen, who is secretary of the Alabama Federation of Labor, was in the forefront of members of the lief ferson delegation who sought to have the gasoline tax applied with more revenue coming to Jefferson county. He also executed a parlia- mentary maneuver shelved by the state solons for twelve years when he put over a resolution making Senator Brower's tax exemption re- peal bill special order of the day, probably insuring passage of the measure during the short session.

days ago, commenting his financial
plight, which has been a subject Of
gossip several weeks. the Governor
said, my one hope is that whatever

increase the cost Of domestic coal five

increase the cost of domestic coal five
cents a ton.
Further the operators insisted that
they already had given the union rec
ognition insofar as they understood
the term. They also said collective
bargaining as they understood it was
already in force.
Their chief objection was on the
10 per cent wage increase proposal.
On this they said:
1--WE are still firmly of the opinion
that no general increase in wages at
this time is justified. The present
wages are los per cent higher than
the pre-war wages while living costs
are but 81 per cent higher"
Talk Arbitration
The union told the Governor it be-
lieved the check-off should be included
in the arrangement but accepted the
10 per cent as a. step in the right
direction"
The union also insisted that the
Governor might be interpreted in one
portion Of his suggestion a. favoring
arbitration. The union could not &C.
cept arbitration, asking that he ex
plain more fully his proposition on
this point.
The two sides gave their answers to
Governor Pinchot behind closed doors
at the Capitol. 1t was assumed the
three parties to the conference would
go into further discussion after the
answers had been concluded. though
the operators announced they did not
state what position they would take
IN regard to further talk.
Accept Eight-Hour Day
The operators stated in concluding
their remarks:
I'm making this response to your
proposal, we do so upon the Atlantic
City conference, and nothing hereto
fore agreed upon shall be consid
cred binding"
This was taken to mean miner de
mands in the eleven points the union
leaders formerly have insisted upon.
In accepting the principle Of the g.
hour day, the operators stated 1t would
add $780, 900 to the annual wage bill
This must result in an increase OF
five cents per ton in the cost of do
domestic coal at the mines.

Realizing in Corn Brings
Weakness to General Mart.

By United Financial
CHICAGO, Aug. S1.-Trade was dull
with operations in wheat confined
largely TO changing by elevators and
cash interests and considerable real
izing in corn on the Chicago Board Of
Trade today.
Trade in wheat reshifted on account
Of the uncertain foreign situation and
doubt as to the deliveries on Septem-
Der contracts. While Liverpool showed
a strong undertone throughout the
day, export sales were estimated at
only $50, 900 to 100000 bushels which
included some hard winter and Durum
wheat.
Realizing in corn induced light real
izing in wheat.
Oats were dull, but steady and I'M
oerwent no important change.
Provisions met little selling for
profit, although hogs showed further
strength at the close.
