ALLY NAIL, London.-Repre-
sentatives of the chief coal
producing countries Of Europe
- met at Geneva to consider a
scheme for putting an end to
the present chaos in the industry.
Mr.. Ely Edwards, president of the
| Miners Federation of Great Britain,
announced that an attempt would be
| made to secure an international agree
| ment on production, marketing and
! prices. 1t Is hoped to end such anoma-
lies as Great Britain exporting coal to
Poland and Poland to Great Britain.
Under the proposed scheme each
country will be given certain markets
| In which other countries will agree not
to compete. This system, 1t is be-
lieved. will produce an all-'round drop
| in prices.
1t Is understood here that Sciss i'm
porters have placed big orders With
Welsh coal companies.
Mexican Women
Seek Deputy Seats.
FL Universal. Mexico, d. F.-Two
women. the Senorita Florinda Lazos
Leon, in the state of Chiapas, and Sc
norlta Francisco Manrique, in the state
OF Guanajusto, have sought the priyi-
iege OF candidacy to the National Cham
DerS as Deputies from their respective
constituencies. Both are graduates in
law and the latter a teacher In a pro-
!esslonal school. They desire to stand
ior election as representatives Of the
Nstional Revolutionary party.
ihe Committee on Elections. how
ever, mas expressed the opinion that the
time has not yet arrived in Mexico
When women can function In such i'm
portant duties. 1t would derange the
pcntical order OF the country, particu-
!arly since, despite all feminist aeita-
tion, women have not yet received the
right to vote. When the time seems
appropriate the first reform, that of
the feminine franchise will be inaugu-
rated by the National Revolutionary
party, but until then the participation
OF women as candidates in the ap-
preaching elections would be much too
aEticipatory.
Scotch Writer
Urges Job Preference,
Evening Times, Glasgow.-To the
Editor: Your esteemed correspondent
Be Broadminded" Is probably unaware
I
o. the fact that it Is almost compulsory
IN the United States for employers to
give f1rst preference to 100 per cent
american citizens. And this also ex-
plains why the bulk Of the UNEMPLOYED
a: the present time in America are
aliens.
1t is difficult to obtain any satisfac-
tory job there without taking out your
first papers of naturalization.
Another point he misses out is the
question OF poll tax. II our stupid au-
thorities had levied poll tax upon all
aliens entering this country, We would
not be crowded out of jobs by cheap
foreign labor today. No government in
the world has neglected this grave ques-
tiOn like Britain, to our sorrow. l am,

COTTON PRICES
CONTINUING
LOWER

NEW YORK, Sept. IS 0.N.SJ.
Cotton futures staged another re.
dictionary move in late trading
today.
At the first call, although
above the previous close, futures
did not follow Liverpool, where
quotations were nearly 81 a bale
higher thar due.
Heavy Hedge Sales
There was heavy hedge and
Southern selling through spot
firms at New York and the mar
ket opened unchanged to S
points higher. For a while the
list moved higher with little cot
ton being offered, but as the sell
ing pace increased, contracts fell
off rapidly from the early highs.
Trading was featured by numer-
Gus small orders rather than by
large block transactions. Co.
operative brokers were selling in
considerable volume, while local
traders sold distant months.
The chief support consisted of
an overnight accumulation of
price-fixing orders for the do
mestic and foreign trade. Liver.
pool bought and there was some
short covering for a time. Japa-
nese interests purchased Decem-
Der options.

MORE DUMPING
/. Of STOCKS IS
FORECAST
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOk
NEW YORK, Sept. is QN.S).
Commodities took some more
starch out Of the market yesterday
and gave it another bad spill.
Everything was going along
smoothly until wheat took nose
dive, dragging cotton with 1t.
More Liquidation Due
The way stocks were dumped
Overheard in the last hour Sug-
gests that more liquidation Is due
from impaired accounts.
The market in the last week has
lost nearly so per cent Of the
ground recovered in the long up
hill climb from the June lows.
They certainly go down faster
than they go up.
Tom Howell, the big Chicago
grain operator, has been in town
for several days, to look things
over. 'Tis said Tom doesn't feel
particularly enthusiastic about
things. The wheat situation is
causing many to shake their
heads.
May Prove Too Heavy
It's obvious that wheat must
be put up to give the great farm
belt purchasing power and help
business along; yet Statistically
even the strong arm may find it
too much Of a job.
Hedging on the September de-
livery ends today, which will help
q bit. There is still hope that
grain prices will do better next
month.

Comparatively little business was
transacted in the coarse Yarn cloths
market today as traders generally
showed no desire to acquire goods at
current levels. Prices were being

in most instances buyers we're not

friendly advice Of its old ally, Great
Britain, Japan instructed its delega-
ton at Geneva Tuesday to reject the
proposal that an international con-
ciliation commission be created to
attempt a settlement Of the Sino-
japanese controversy over Man

Financial quarters considered the
British manner OF approach in max
ing this proposal to Japan before
the League had taken definite ac-
tom as diplomatic reverse for ia
pan and there were sharp declines
in the stock market.
Resumption Of diplomatic relations
between China and Russia, an

contributed to the market decline. A
government spokesman said this ac-

1t was learned Great Britain had
acted alone in proposing that Japan
accept the commission conciliation
scheme and that other powers were
not associated with it's suggestion.
Commenting on resumption OF
Sino-Japanese relations, a govern
ment spokesman said the possibility
of completion of Russo o-Japanese
non-aggression pact now was greatly
diminished.
He challenged the statement of
Maxim Litvinoff, Russian foreign
commissar, that lack of diplomatic
relations between "some nations
bordering on the Pacific were to
blame for present troubles in Man

Then she threw her arms about her
