ISOLATION has failed to take note so far
of these measures, nearly identical bills

the grounds they did not seek to regu-
late the anthracite industry. nor the
highly competitive fuel oils.
The bills, now in committees hands,
are similar to the measure presented
several years ago by Senator Watson
OF Indiana at the request of the Miners
Union. 1t failed of approval by the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce following sharp opposition from
coal operators, railroads and CONNER
cial organizations. They have the sup
port of the Miners Union and the
American Federation of Labor.
In statement accompanying intro
duction of the measures, Senator Davis,
who as Secretary of Labor sought I'M
successfully to stabilize conditions
through a miners and operators con-
ference, joined Representative Kelly in
saying production and consumption of
bituminOuS should be balanced, and
some of the restrictions of the anti
trust laws on the coal industry should
be lOoSened
The Government must furnish lead

be remedied," they said with rea-
son and compromise by coal operators
and workers. the problem can and will
be solved through governmental CO.

STOCKS ERRAT|C
IN GOOD DEMAND
Prices Swing Back and Forth
in Narrow Range of
Changes.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 19.-SWlnglng
back and forth in narrow price range
today's stock market made little prog
ress in either direction. Its most en-
couraging characteristic was its very
evident disposition to magnify the GOOD
news and to minimize the unfaVorable.
Stocks opened slightly lower, recoy-
cred, had another setback and then
again improved moderately. Volume
was larger on the rally than on the
reactions The one cOnSplcuouSly
heavy issue was General Electric, Whlch
before noon had dropped back to WITHIN
a fraction of its previous low Tor the
bear market The selling probably was
inspired by the 1881 statement showing
total orders of 1882, 02l ,496, compared
with S341 820312 in the preceding year
The corresponding figures OF the laSV
quarter were SAC 1921 ,480, against SI4,-
1853 80, showing there had been no
change in the trend.
As an offset to this relative weakness
in General Electric. the rails were al
most uniformly higher. Doubt con-
tnued as to the outcome OF the rail-
road wage negotiations at Chicago, but
the market responded to the statement
of one of the interstate commerce COM
missioners to the House Interstate
Commerce Committee that the com
mission favored repeal of the recapture
clause of the railway act. AS matter
of fact there is nothing to recapture
now. but the testimony did emphasize
the point that all factions il Washing
ton are now DESTROYS OF being help1ul,
and that is real gain. What the rail-
roads need, as has been so often stated,
is more traffic and better competitive
position with regard to the trucks.
Gains of to 2 points were made IN
the first two hours by N. Y. Central,
New Haven. Southern Pacific, Atchison
and Norfolk & Western. The action OF
the rails revealed the attitude of spec
ulative interest in the market, when
was to advance prices whenever there
was any excuse therefor.
Auburn Auto was strong on the earn
ings statement showing $l7.64 a share

ADVANCE IN WHEAT
HELD UNEXPLAINED
Mystery Surrounds Gain
Since the Situation Is Not
Greatly Encouraging.
BY OWEN l.. SCOTT.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, January 19-An air of
mystery surrounds the sharp advance
that has occurred in wheat prices since
Saturday, carrying values ahead over
5 cents a bushel, after nearly two
months of trading doldrums.
There is talk of resumed operations
by a pool which talked dollar wheat
last October and November, but de-
mails come from this source There also
are reports that buying is based on q
belief that Federal banking authorities
are undertaking a policy of mild in
flatioa with the intent of influencing
commodity values.
Little Encouraging.
Trade authorities today asserted that
there is little in the grain situation at
the moment that would encourage an
advance But they point out that, oW-
ing to the mild almost Spring like
Winter, the Winter wheat crop in some
sections is jointed and could be badly
damaged by zero temperatures. They
say that the prospect of damage may
encourage some speculative buying.
But fundamentally, point is made
of the fact that Chicago prices are
about 20 cents a bushel above a Liver
DOUl EDdlllyr lIBlSIlJ anu IlSul amt IOll-
sidered Argentina and Australia are
underselling this country to that ex-
tent.
Some reports have gained circulation
that the Federal Farm Board would
have its agencies withhold their huge
wheat stocks from the market for an
other year. But these reports lack con-
firmation.
The public had its fingers rather
badly burned in the late Fall advance
in wheat prices, which carried the May
delivery from 48 cents a buShel to 10
cents In the collapse which followed
prices dropped back 20 cents a bushel,
and held around that level until the
present move, which has carried them
up to 81 cents for the May future.
Expect Bull Market.
The bulge has come just at time
when Congress is giving consideration
to a number of proposals designed to
regulate still further speculative activ-
ity in grains Most of the bills under
consideration call for limitations on
short selling and several have strong
backing
Grain traders expect that Spring will
bring a definite bull market in grains.
That is the normal season for crop
scare stories, and by that time the peak
of the marketing of Southern Hemis-
phere grain has occurred,
However, if there is heavy Winter
damage before that time, and if infla-
ton movement does get under way,
wheat would be expected to benefit That
leads some to believe that the recent
advance has been due to buying by
spectators who think that prices won't
go much much lower and that they
should get on the wagon while the get
ting was good

Demands grew today for

Unemployment relief is the

the saneSt solution. We want
TO get legislation through quick
ly-the first thing"
At hearings on the La Toilette
prosperity loan bill last spring,
the federation joined with the
nations outstanding economists
in urging passage. The measure
was lost in the melee resulting
from the Hoover Administration S
opposition to public works.
The prosperity loan, advocates
declared, not only would absorb
millions of jobleSs in productive
enterprises, but would start the
wheels Of industry running all
over the country. 1t would give
the stimulus needed to a definite
recovery in business, they pointed
out.

Proponents secuted objections the
country wouldn't absorb large
