WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.--tP)-A
symposium Of official views and pro-
posed solutions for the problem pre-
sented by a reported surplus pro-
duction of cotton. king Of the South
lands products, and a consequent de-
cline in price, was before President
Coolidge today for consideration.
Belief that the federal reserve
system is able to finance the pres
ent crop or whatever sound plan may
be devised was expressed to the chief
executive by Secretary Mellon while
Secretary Jardine said that the crop
lends itself easily to credit. as it is
not injured by storage.
"Credit facilities through ordinary
banking channels appear to be ade-
quate." said Secretary Jardine, "but
we have in addition, if needed. the
service and resources of the inter
mediate credit banks. II was for just
such emergencies as the present one
these banks were established.
"Those in charge of them have as
-snred me they are ready to do every
thing IN their power At present they
are loaning money freely to the cot
ton cooperatives, and they are pre-
pared to extend credit also TO other
cotton farmers. II this additional
source of credit is needed. it may be
drawn upon by creating local ~finan-
cial credit associations, with mini
mum local capital of $4,000, on
which 100000 might be borrowed for
periods ranging from six months TO
three years at moderate rate of
interest"
Senator Robinson. democrat. CT
Arkansas, in White House confer
ence sought government Intervention
in the cotton situation in the way of
funds with which TO finance orderly
marketing. He predicted move
would be made at the December ses-
sion of congress to modify or
abolish the cotton crop reporting
service Of the agricultural depart
ment. Representative Black, demo
crat, of Texas, also criticized the
departments forecasts and expressed
the opinion the present crop had been
greatly overestimated by the depart
ment.

SALLIES WILL G0

Elm City Branch DiSlikes Con-
 munity Chest Idea

New Haven, Oct. : LP-The Sal vation Army here will conduct it's own campaign for funds this year, according 10 a letter written to President Clarence Blakeslee of the Community Chest by ". A. McIn- tyre, lieutenant colonel commanding Salvation Army affairs in the New England states.
 The letter states that the Salva- ton Army regrets that the Con- munity Chest cannot see its way clear to grant us the amount of our budget, even after we had gone over tha matter thoroughly"
 Tn 1922 the letter continued. 'the chest gave us approximately s11,000. In 1923, s9,5QO; in 1924. 5000 was allowed. You did not raise the full amount. You cut us 10 per cent. We got sS,100. In 1925 you cut us down to S6.S01. We accepted it under protest, You now offer for 1926, s6,S01. This is ab- solutely and positively insufficient 10 cover our needs in any adequate way.
 This Is approximately only one per cent of the amount the chest raises in New Haven and with only S5 organization participating.
 Tt would look 10 me as If we have done everything possible to compromise and to meet your board Of directors, and thus avoid being excluded from the chest"

BRITISH MINERS REFUSE AGREEMENT
Govt. Proposals to End Strike
 Turned Down

London, Oct. I dPy-The govern ment's latest attempt to settle the long-drawn coal strike has failed. A delegate conference of the Miners Federation today unanimously adopted a resolution rejecting the proposals after the announcement of a district vote 10 that effect, of 737,QQ0 to 42,00o.
 The government proposals reject ed byfthe miners today were con- tained in letter sent by Premier Baldwin on September r to A. J. Cook, general secretary of the Miners Federation.
 The principal point was an as surance that, if the miners returned to work, they would be given gov ernmental assistance in obtaining a nationwide agreement, in effect if not in word. Such an agreement has been one Of the main points held out for by the men.
 Mir. Baldwin admitted that he had failed in efforts 10 firing the own CTS into conference on a national agreement covering hours and wages, as desired by the men, but said that the owners throughout the country were generally willing to admit the principles that such a na- tional agreement would secure. He, therefore, appealed 10 the miners 10 return 10 work under provisional district agreements, while the gov ernment prepared legislation to es- tablish a national tribunal of appeal
 The miners numbering more than million, went on strike May 1 to support demand for continuation of the postwar rates of pay and hours Of work after the withdrawal Of the government subsidy on that date. The mine owners, with the end Of the subsidy, had proposed a reduc- ton in pay Of Is Is per cent and an increase from seven to eight hours in the working day.
 A general strike called at midnight May to support the miners stand collapsed after nine days. The Brit ish Press Association. semi official news agency, yesterday said that to date l0S, 405 Of the approximately 100000 miners had returned to work.
