Washington, March l6.-On motion of Senator GOoding the senate has asked the President to investigate the charge that at a secret meeting Ot the Secretary of the Treasury and $ fed eraI reserve bank officials in this city, on May IS, 1920, it was agreed to cur tail credits, increase interest rates and recommend to the Interstate Commerce Commission that railroad rates be in creased.
 These decisions brought on the de hation movement that stopped business, closed factories wrecked farmers and turned 5,O00OGO workers on the streets.
 These sensational charges are made by the Manufacturers Record of Balti- mcrn. which claims to have secured one of the 100 copies of the proceedings of the meeting that were cautiously distrl- buted.
 To carry out their policy of restrict ing credit it is stated that the bankers agreed not to accept Liberty Bonds as security for notes Through this method the bonds were forced on the market and bought by the bankers for 80 cents and less on the dollar The bankers also requested the Interstate Commerce Com mission to raise railroad rates In the l following August the commission made l a horizontal increase on all rates, witt one or two exceptions.

COAL LAND MONOPOLY IS HIGH
 PRICE FACTOR

Washington March 9.-A committee of the United Mine Workers of America reminds the United States coal commits sion that monopolized anthracite coal lands are carried as an investment by coal owners, and this is a factor in high prices The workers say that much of this land will not be used for 50 and 100 years.
 Holding reserve coal lands over such a long period of time IS not a mining proposition, but real estate bus1- ness," the miners statement declares.
 Recent increases in the price of coal give unexpectedly greater value to the investment in unnined coal and the coal owners are inclined to consider their in vestment worth more and more, and to revalue it on their books. This is in line with the present tendency of large financial interests to obtain an increased capitalization"
 The miners say increased Capitallza- ton, like the epidemic of stock dividends, makes 1t possible to spread large profits over such a large capitalization that the rate of returns on the investment is ap- Darently low. This also permits coal owners to escape the higher grades of the federal income tax.
 Interest on the investment in these monopolized coal lands that will not be used for a century, 1t Is stated, is not an element of cost of such lands as this item would have to be realized in the sale of such lands eff they were so1d), or through the operation of them when they were finally opened and developed.'
 It is declared that as long as coal owners are permitted to revalue their properties by including these holdings the anthracite industry, the workers in it and the consumers will suffer.
 "The importance of this procedure upon prices in the future can be seen from the estimates made by the officials of a similar wasting. '"1'1Stry (the na-- tiona1 lumber association), who estimated that revaluation had increased their as sets between $2,O0OO0O,00O and $3,OOO,- 100000.
