Coal Fields in Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio.

New York, Jan. 25.-Miners and op-
orators representing the bituminous in
dustry signed papers extending until
April l, 1924, the present contract gov

strike in the soft coal regions this
spring. The conference also left the

a standing body, with orders to re-
convene a year from now and take up
negotiations for rei.ewal once more. A
permanent committee to adjust differ
ences thereby was formed.
The territory represented in the pres
ent conference includes Illinois, Indi-
ana and northern Ohio, but it's action
affects the entire industry, as the
agreement will form basis for settle
ments in the outlying fields.
The conference had announced that
it had "reaff1rmed the wage scale con-
tract now existing between the United
Mine Workers of America and the coal
operators, whose interests are repre-
sented in this joint conference
1.-THE adoption of this resolution, T" the
announcement continued, thereby ex-
tends the contract for a period Of one
year from April 1, 1923, in all Of it's
terms, provisions and conditions"

wage scale of $3.50 a day and rate
of $108 on tonnage. The $3.50 rate
appIino for tha most mart IN SI1rfa 10

SENATE PASSES
z SUPPLY BILLS
Upper House Makes Another
Record in Action on In
portant Measures.
IN LINE With BUDGET BUREAU
Senator Lenroot criticizes the Capper
Rural Credits Bill and Offers a
Substitute Extending $780,
100000 Credit.

Washington, Jan. .26.-Another rec
ord was made by the senate when it
passed two supply bills, one carrying
appropriations of $12,702, $50 for the
legislative department, and another of
S24. 10000 for the District of Colum-
bia.
Chairman Warren of the senate ap-
preparations committee was gratified
over the rapidity with which the SEN
ate has acted upon the supply bills
and the fact that for the most part
the appropriations commended by the
budget bureau have not been altered.
Senator Jones of Washington, chair
man Of the commerce committee,
asked unanimous consent for AN agree
ment to impose a limited clOture on
debate on the ship aid bill. Senator
Brookhart Of Iowa promptly objected
and then Mr.. Jones laid the bill aside
for the immediate consideration of the
Lenroot rural credits bill.
Mr. Lenroot took fling at the Cap
per bill recently passed by the senate,
saying it does not liberalize credits
'but simply restricts credits to the
idea of making them more accessible
to bankers buying live stock paper"
He said his bill provides a credit facil-
ity running from six months to three
years for the farmer so he can borrow
money to prepare his crops which
need not be paid back until he mar
kets that crop.
"There now is no such credit for
the farmer" he added. IF he Dor
rows money to plant his crop the bank
will give credit not exceeding six
months. The farmers are not asking
charity. They merely ask for the same
credit facilities extended to other bust
ness men,"
Mr.. Lenroot explained that his bill
provides for government aid to the ex-
tent of $60,O0O,O0O which, used as a
revolving fund, will extend $660OOO,-
600 credit for farmers.
