LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 49,
Terning this the electro chemical iron
age, Gov. Bibb Graves of Alabama told
the annual Industrial Conference of
the Southern Division of the American
Mining Congress Tuesday that the
South should be the industrial center
Of America, because this region is
richer in industrial resources than any
other.
The governor, however, urged that in
dustrial leaders think In terms of
America rather than sections in plan
ming developments.
Americas world supremacy Is being
challenged" Gov. Graves said, land
supremacy in the future will be merited
by the survival of the fittest. The
World War destroyed the manpower Of
Europe and left America with monopoly
OF unprecedented prosperity, but a new
crop Of men is being raised In Europe
and with them is coming a new era"
Gov. Graves suggested a council Of
industrial leaders to cooperate with all
the States as means Of promoting
Southern development.
Capt. r. M. Watt of Pineville, KY,
was chosen to succeed Erskin Ramsey
of Birmingham. Ala, as chairman of
the board of governors of the Southern
division of the congress at the annual
election. Dr. Henry Mace Payne OF
Washington was reelected secretary.
In a message read to the conference,
Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record, said small pol
iticS and petty iealousies had greatly
hindered industrial development in the
South.

Harrington Denies "SeIl Out" Contract
With Peabody Coal Co.


harrington Denies aseII Out" Contract
With Peabody Coal Co.
SPRINGFIELD, H., March Is R1.-
Frank harrington, former Illinois head OF
the United Mine Workers OF America
today continued his efforts for recog-
milton In the insurgent convention OF
union men opposed to John L, Lewis,
international president.
The fisat against seating Harrington
as q delegate kept yesterdays session OF
the "rump" meeting in continual tur-
mol.
Farrington's foes charged he sold
out" the miners by signing q contracC
with the Peabody Coal Co. 70 act as
their adviser at a salary of $4,000
year while still president Of the Illinois
mine group.
IN reply, harrington said the contract
did not became effective and did not
cali for his services until after his resig-
nation from the State group went into
effect.
The assault on Lewis was led by Alex
HowaIt of kansas, who demanded a
senatorial investigation of the rule OF
the international president. In tele-.
gram read before the convention ana
dispatched to Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, Howatt asserted:
Controlling the international organi-
Zation by autocratie rule, packed con-
ventions and professional sluggers, who
suppressed all criticisms, Lewis has in
creased his salary during the last dec
ade from $4,000 to 81, 1000 per annum.
State after State has been swept from
the Union ranks until today the inter-
national organization outside Of Illinois
is but mere shell"
The convention also adopted reso-
luton demanding that steps be taken
looking to legal action against Lewis,
enjoining his access to the internal
tional'E treasury, which has funds of
nearly million dollars.

U. S. STATES DEBTS
STIR BRITISH LORDS
Federal Government Declared Not

LONDON, March 13.-The futility Of
asking the United States Government to
interfere in settling the accounts of
eight Southern States which owe
Els, 600, 900 (about $379, 900, 000) to
British bondholders was pointed out
yesterday in the House Of Lords by
Lord Ponsonby.
Lord Redesdale had asked whether
the British government would consider
taking up the matter with the United
States Government, saying that the
defaulting States now were in the same
position as Russiar-namely, "a financial
leper."
Lord Banbury, supporting the motion,
declared that the United States had
insisted on prompt payment Of war
debts by Great Britain, but said when
the United States Is the debtor she
takes no steps to make settlement.
Lord Ponsonby deplored criticism Of
the United States at this particular
time and said it was most unfortunate
that the United States had been COM
pared to Russia. He added that the
United States Government had no con-
Germ with the financial obligations of
individual States.
eff the Naval Conference is TO be
used as a smoke screen to prevent free
speech In this House." Lord Redesdale
retorted, "it is great pity"

DUNEDIN, NV Zealand, March 10
While members of his expedition were

on tours or fishing and hunting trips,
Rear Admiral Richard E. BYRD, with
characteristic cheerfuleSS, today settled
down to transact the large amount or
business which has accumulated wnlle
he attended the numerous receptions
given in his honor Admiral Byrd was
getting his expedition ready 10 SAL
home next week.
The bark City of New York and the
steamer Eleanor Boiling must be rented
for the trip to IJew York, which Is eX-
pected to require about nine weeks.
City life here, which has meant but
little more than walking about the
streets specializing on the change from
the icy wastes of the Antarctic, has be-
gun to pail on members of the party.
To each mans request for leave Admiral
Byrd replied, go ahead" Aided by
free railroad transportation, many have
gone to Mount Cook, the highest peak
of the Southern Alps.
Care for the safety of his men Is Ad-
miral Byrd's foremost thought, and his
warning to one not to take any risks
when the man said he intended to at
tempt to scale Mount Cooks 12,000-foot
summit appeared ironical.
Reports on Talk Please Byrd.
Admiral Byrd was delighted at re-
ports from many parts of the world in
the interest in the two-way broadcast
Tuesday with New York.
1.-The interest taken in so many parts
of the world, even in Germany, in the
talk indicates that the expedition has
brought the worlds attention to the
progressiveness of the United States in
scientific research" he said.
'I have noted tendency In some
quarters of America and Europe to
create a controversy between the British
Empire and the United States concern
ing claims in the Antarctic. There is
no reason or ground for that. We have
considered this expedition a scientific
venture and, we hope, sporting one.
We went down there with the utmost
respect for the British who preceded us,
and our work should bring us closer to-
gether, and not farther apart. 1t would
be a pity should a controversy arise
and would go entirely against the feel
ings and hopes we have held.

their stories of alleged abuses by dis
trict officers, the United Mine Workers

ton today, with the floor open to any

Disciplinary Action Expected.
At the end OF these discussions the
convention Is expected to vote on a
committee report calling for "disciplin-
airy action" on the Illinois insurgents
meeting at Springfield, which, it Is be-
lieved, may lead to the expulsion of
all those union members attending the
rump session.
Announcement yesterday that viii

Federation of Labor, will address the
session here Monday brought the pre-
diction by delegates and officers that
the federation head will reveal the
organizations attitude and probable
action regarding John H. Walker, pres
ident of the Illinois Federation OF La
Dor, who is alleged to have been active
in calling the Illinois meeting. The
international board of the Mine Work
ers two weeks ago demanded that the
National Federation take acton against
Walker.
1t was learned yesterday that Green
already has sent telegram to Walker
demanding that he explain his atti-
tude. Green, it is understood, has the
authority to remove Walker, or to
suspend the entire Illinois federation
from the national organization. John
L. Lewis, international president of the
miners, contends that, since the union
Is q supporting factor of the National
Federation, the latter must protect the
union by taking action against Walker.

nunciation Tuesday of the leaders OF
