CONFEREES ON TAX
MAKENOPROGRESS
House and Senate Group
Will Meet Again This After.
noon and Tonight.
BY John G.. HENRY.

Three more hours and no more
progress was the word given out when
House and Senate conferees on the
1884, 100000 administration tax bill
disbarded at noon today
we have not reached a final de-
cision on any Of the major provisions
Of the bll." Senator Harrison, Demo-
crat. of Mississippi. and head of the
Senate group, said as the conference
broke up. The same conferees will
meet this afternoon and again to-
night" he said, Ito take up both the
alcohol control bill and the tax bill. -
Look Bellies Description.
Although one Of the members re-
marked that the conferees were just
"one big. happy family" the glum
look of some of them belied the 6e-
scription.
Meanwhile, two rumors circulated
about with regards to the bill. one
being that the White House is re-
manning insistent upon inclusion of a
schedule of inheritance taxes in the
new bill, and the other that the con-
ference report, when and If agreed
upon. will be held up until virtually
sll other items on the latest version
of the must" calendar have been dis
posed of in Senate and House.
Fight Seen in Senate.
With regard to the first rumor, 1t Is
agreed that such insistence would lead
to complications in the Senate when
the conferees report back to that
body. Refusing to include an in
heritance tax section in the bill as
they passed it, the Senate is known
to contain a powerful faction that
would fight this provision if an at
tempt is made to write it in in con-
ference.
This circumstance, however. in
creases the likelihood of truth in the
second rumor, namely, that the tax
bill may be saved for the closing piece
of business.
May Reach Compromise.
In that event. a last-minute fight
might succeed in jamming it through
in the form desired by the White
House. or a makeshift compromise
might be reached.
Compromises were expected on sew
eral major differences, namely the
graduation range of corporation in
come taxes and of excess profits

TO ADMINISTER CODE

BY the Associated Press.
The House early this afternoon
passed the Guffey bill to establish a
little N. r. A." for the bituminous
coal industry.
The vote was 1874 ayes, l6s nays and
2 voting present.
The New Deal leadership sighed
with relief once the count was certain
to send the disputed measure to the
Senate.
Throughout much of the roll call
enemies of the legislation had been
in the lead but the final count
showed them outnumbered by 26.
Senate Action Uncertain.
What the Senate will do is prob
lematical.
Although the President included the
measure among those he wanted enact
ed before adjournment. there has been
some speculation whether it won't have
rough shedding after the tax legisla-
tion is concluded
Adjournment sentiment is believed
by some to be too strong to make it
possible to keep both branches in ses-
sion. once a good part of the pending
matters is cleared up.
Under the measure, new national
bituminous coal commission would be
set up to administer a wage, hour,
trade practice and price-f1xing code
for the soft coal industry.
1t levies a IS per cent tax on the
value of coal at the mine shaft, allow
ing 90 per cent drawback" on hat
tax to those producers who abide py
the code.
Strikes Twice ForestaIIed.
Sought by President Roosevelt to
better conditions in the coal industry,
the possibility that it would pass Con-
gress has at least twice forestalled
strikes in the soft coal fields.
1t was bitterly opposed by many
members, however, on the ground that
1t was unconstitutional. Those who
took that attitude held that coal min
ing was strictly an intrastate opera
ton and that under the N. r. A.
Schechter case decision the Federal
Government had no control over
operations which did not cross State
lines.
Amendments Thwarted.
House consideration of the bill was
completed Saturday. Supporters were
able to muster strength to beat off
a food Of amendments. This show of
power encouraged them to forecast
eventual victory by at least IS votes.
A high Republican has said privately
the Senate also would approve the
bill.
One amendment was adopted Satur-
day. which some members viewed as
possible point of controversy. Of
fered by Representative Griswold,
Democrat. of Indiana. it was designed
to give small mine operators a larger
voice in the affairs of the % district
board which will administer the codes.
Selection OF Boards.
Originally the bill would have let
district boards be selected by opera
tors within district on the basis of
tonnage. Griswold contended this

Ethiopia Doffs Old Disdain
For World as Clouds Gather

Because of the high illiteracy rate,
those who are able to read are as
suming something of the nature Of
prophets. Many of the literate Eth
iopians. taking advantage of their su-
perior knowledge, assume the leader
ship in loud and lengthy interpreta-
tions of incoming news dispatches.
The arrival of scores of foreign
war" correspondents, coming from
all parts of the world, contribute to
the increasing feeling of 'self-impor-
tance in Ethiopians, which is matched
only by their concern to keep peace
with Developments in London, Paris,
Geneva, Rome and Washington.
The natives, though poorly equipped
to meet their potential enemies. are
unaffected by any inferiority complex
and are confident they win be able to
turn back the invaders and preserve
their centuries-old freedom.

DISCREET SILENCE
Fear misunderstanding If
They Comment on Paris
Breakdown.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

While deeply concerned over the
breakdown of the tripartite negotia-
tions in Paris on the Ethiopian
situation, high officials in the State
Department consider it inadvisable to
express officially any opinion.
This attitude is necessitated by fear
of misunderstanding any utterance by
responsible American officials may oc-
casion abroad. The lack of official
comment does not mean that the
American Government is not follow
ing closely the developments. espe-
cially in Paris and in London.
The British government. which has
reached the conclusion that only a
frank Anglo-American cooperation
may possibly circumvent a world ca
tastrophe resulting from the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict. is keeping the
American representatives abroad fully
informed of the steps it intends to
take. Theodore Mariner, the Amer
ican charge daffaires at Paris. called
on Capt. Eden in Paris and was given
a detailed account Of the conyersa-
tions between Eden, Laval and Aloisi
for transmission to the State Depart
ment. The State Department denied,
however, reports from Paris that the
British government has sounded out
this Government on the possibility of
official cooperation to avert the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict
Ray Atherton, the American charge
d'affaires at London, is also being kept
fully informed by the foreign office.
The statement of French govern
ment spokesman, who is believed in
Washington to be Pierre Laval, the
prime minister. to the effect that
France henceforth will have to aban-
don 1taly's friendship, is causing in
diplomatic quarters more concern
than the impending war.
Diplomats, who are accustomed to
read between the lines of such state
ments, believe that this was a yelled
threat at Italy and means that France
will no longer hold back her ally,
Yugoslavia. should she choose to take
advantage of the situation and seek a
conflict with Italy
The relations between Yugoslavia
and Italy have shown a marked i'm
provement during the last eight
months, mainly because the French
nave been advising the Belgrade rulers
to adopt a more conciliatory attitude
toward MuSsolini. The pressure
brought upon Belgrade by the London
and Paris foreign Offices has had
satisfactory results. Now, if the
French withdraw their hand. a large
vista of international combinations
appears possible.
According to information reaching
Washington today the British govern
ment intends to strengthen the Medi-
terranean feet by sending additional
units from the home waters.

(Copyright. 1895. by the Associated Pres.)
After a conference with President
Roosevelt, Democratic leaders in
Congress plunged today into a final
legislative drive of tremendous scope
Their aim was to obtain action on
all or most of an ll-point legislative
program, including compromises on
the $3.50, 100000 tax bill and the util-
tiles measure, and then adjourn by

Measures to Be Pressed.
Although the program was consid-
cred subject to change as the eleventh.

authoritative sources stressed these
measures as those on which action
will be sought especially:

subtraction.
Stand on Utility Bill.
It was said that during the con-
ference the President expressed strong
feeling in favor of the utility bill
clause calling for mandatory abolition
of unnecessary" holding companies
by 1912. This is the provision which
was passed by the Senate and rejected
by the House and which has led to
a long deadlock in Senate House con-
ference
Congressional leaders, it was said,
informed the President that it would
be impossible to get this provision
through Congress. Whereupon it was
decided that Senator Barkley. Demo-
