At its first meeting yesterday, held
behind closed doors at the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the commission
adopted a preliminary plan of pro-
cedure and decided that the best
method of formulating construction
recommendations in time for con-
sideration at the impending session
of Congress would be to study the
whole farm question, with pending
relief legislation, present laws and
scientific education of the farmer
as a working chart.
Two Members Absent.
With the assurance of Mr.. Cool
idge that no5restriction will be placed
upon them, members OF the commits
sion agreed to spend their entire
time. for several weeks at least, in
studying the agricultural situation
from top to bottom.
Louis ]. Taber, master of the Ma
tionai Grange, and Charles S. Bar
rett, chairman of the National Board
of Farm Organizations. who is at
tending the annual meeting of the
Farmers Union in Oklahoma, were
the only members of the commission
unable to attend today's session.

Three major theories as to the

exploded, being a tendency toward
political or religious lines. The one

to contain a trace of scandal. and
accordingly there is reluctance on
the part Of officials to explain fully
all angles of it. The presence of
Mr. Ching in a colored settlement
was accounted for by some as due to
his political activities.
