SILVER PRODUCERS
DRAFT ASSN. PLANS

A tentative constitution and by
laws of the American Silver Produ-
GERS Association was drafted last
Thursday and Friday in San Fran
cisco by the committee appointed
for that purpose at the recent silver
conference, according to Henry M.
Rives, secretary of the Nevada Mine
Operators Association, and a MEM
Der of the committee, who is just
home from the meeting, says the
Reno Gazette.
The committee, comprising Mr..
Rives, Alfred Harrell of Bakersfield,
and w. L. Snyder of Salt Lake, met
for two days and expects to place the
results of it's deliberations before a
meeting of silver producers to be
called in Salt Lake City, probably in
November.
Mr.. Rives explained that the COM
mitteee had arrived at a plan for
maintaining the organization through
contributions from silver producers,
based upon annual production, This
is not definite, however, Mr. Rives
said, as the producers association
has to give its approval first.
Another outcome of the Reno
Conference of silver producers was
the decision to form silver export
association, and a committee with
authority to draw up plans for this
organization has just been appoint
ed by w. Mont Ferry at Salt Lake.

CHANGE IN RAIL
ACT DEFERRED
UNT|LFALL
Harding to Withhold Proposed
Recommendations After
Talk With Cummins.

Despite the acuteness of the
transportation situation and the
rapidly increasing cry from agri-
cultural regions for relief, it has
been definitely decided to under
take no railroad legislation dur
ing the remainder of the present
session of Congress, it was learned
today. Following conference
late yesterday between President
Harding and Senator Cummins
(Iowa), chairman of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee,
the President is said to- have
given up hope of any immediate
action looking to ultimate relief
from the serious car shortage and
high freight rates.
Attempt Seen as Futile.
The hope entertained in Admins
tration circles for creation of a
fact finding commission to sit on
the transportation problem during
the eight months Congress will be
out of session has been abandoned.
Senator Cummins, who Is not in
sympathy with the proposal. adj
vised the President of the futility
of attempting to rush any such
measure through during the re-
naming days Of the current ses:
sion, and despite pressure brought
to bear by the farm bloc" it is

however. Senator Cummfns, upon
leaving the White House, predicted
"at least six months would be put
In on that subject. He forecasts
a radical revision OF the transporta-
ton act of 1924 measure which
has been under heavy fire for the
past year, although he would not
indicate the nature Of the revision
expected.
Hot Fight i'm Prospect.
1t. is known, however, that a hot
fight is anticipated between the farm
bloc" and certain progressives who
favor liberalization" or abolition
Of the act, and the conservative
element, who will seek to tighten its
provisions.
1t is with much regret that Presi-
dent Harding has abandoned the
idea of a commission of inquiry on
the transportation situation. He,
and members of the Cabinet-nota-
bly, Secretary Hoover-have devoted
much time and thought to the
problem Of untangling the rail
snarl, and the proposed commission,
Endorsed by many Senator'S and
congressman, was believed to have
been the most hopeful step toward
solution and remedy. Rather than
jeopardize the ship subsidy and the
British debt settlement, however, he
has agreed to withhold the request
he had been prepared to make upon
Congress.
