Seventy percent Of the nations soft

more than 100000 miners in the Ap-
palachian area remained away from
work pending completion of negotia-

Weekend attempts by a. sub-com-

The 3,000-odd locals of the union
were instructed to pull out all of the
$4,000 miners affected, except for
skeleton crews totaling 10000 men,
The daily payroll loss was estimated
by Secretary Perkins at $1,5OO,OOO.
The shutdown affected the btu
monu industry in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Ohio, eastern Kentucky
western Virginia, central Tennessee
and some mines in Maryland and
Michigan. Work continued under
temporary agreements in other soft
coal fields except in Alabama, where
an additional 10000 miners faced
idleness because of a deadlock over
a new contract.

Volu1ninous Report
On German Bund Is
Given by Murphy

Washington, April 3.-(AP)-At-
torney General Murphy made public
today a 14-volume report on the
German American Bund, which as
serted that one Of its principal OBJ
jectives was "to foster Germanism
and German ideals" in this country.
The report was compiled by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in
1887. 1t was given out at the sug-
gestion of Chairman Dies, Democrat,
Texas, of the House committee on
un-American activities. Dies, who
has frequently charged Justice De-
partment officials with failing to CO.
operate with his committee. has in
troduced bill which would require
the department to make public all
reports of Nazi and fascist activities
in this country, but no action has
been taken on the measure.
The Bund report, which included
IT'S photographs, pamphlets and ex-
hibits contained no recommendations
for action.

Plan Renewal
.Roosevelt's
Money Power

Washington, April 3.-(AP)-The
House Coinage Committee approved
a bill today to continue for two years
the Treasury's $2,OOO,OOO,OOO stabili-
zation fund and the Presidents pow
er to devalue the dollar further.
The measure also would renew for
two years the presidential authority
to provide for unlimited coinage of
silver and the purchase of newly
mined domestic silver at a price
above the world level.
Under present law, the three none
tary powers would expire next June
80. By approving the bill, by vote
which members said was nine to
five, the committee wrote in an
amendment to require the Treasury
to report to Congress once a year
on operations of the stabilization
fund.
Committeeman said they expected
a fight when the bill reaches the
House floor against the silver pur-
chase and dollar devaluation pro-
visions. Opponents of the latter,
chiefly Republicans, have contended
the existence of authority to alter the
gold content of the dollar had an
unsettling effect on business.

-Belgium's fascist party was shown
by complete returns today to have
suffered a crushing defeat in yester-
days election. The party losts II OF
its seats in the 202-member Cham
Der of Deputies, and seven of its IL

The pro-Nazi Heimattreue (faith-
full to the homeland) front, which
ran full tickets in the cantons OF
Eupen and Malmedy districts, ceded
to Belgium by Germany at the end
of the World War, failed to win a
seat in either house of parliament.
The liberal and Catholic parties
each gained ten seats in the Cham
Der and five and four seats, respec-
lively, in the Senate. The socialists
lost six in the Senate and four in
the chamber. The communists held
their ground in the chamber and lost
in the Senate.

Proposed

Raleigh, April 3.-(AP)-Legisla-
1889 session of the General Assem-
bly, to adjourn sine die at about one
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Lieutenant Governor w. P. Hor-
ton and Speaker D. L. Ward said all
legislative business should be. out of
the way a. few minutes after mid
night. Ward said he expected a new
resolution to be offered this after
noon changing the hour for ad-
journment from noon tomorrow to
sometime around l a. m.
The House Calendar Committee
held a hearing this morning on a
Senate bill to tax tobacco peddlers
and itinerant tobacco dealers $3.50
il they buy scrap tobacco from
farmers and truck it to market. The
bill passed second reading in the
House Saturday and will be up for
third reading this afternoon.
j. G. Lanier, of Greenville, ap-
pearing for independent tobacco
dealers asked that the 1000 license
tax now imposed on scrap tobacco
dealers be reduced to $3.50 to place
them on the same basis with the
peddlers and itinerant dealers. He
said peddlers could truck any scrap
tobacco they bought to out-of-Stat
markets and escape any tax
Philip Whitley, Wendell ware
houseman, contended that the bill
was an effect to do away with scrap
tobacco by taxation, and warned
that elimination of scrap tobacco
from the market might destroy the
export tobacco business. Repre-

Roosevelt Wants To

Foreign Affairs; Sec
ondary Proposals To
Be Dropped by Lead
ership.

Washington, April 3.-(AP)-
Congressional leaders began TO speed
UP legislative machinery today in
an apparent desire to sidestep con-
troversies and hasten adjournment.
AS the session began its fourth
month, they noted that the Senate
and House have disposed of only five
major bills, those authorizing gov
ernment reorganization and army
expansion and approving funds for
the WPA, independent federal agen-
cies and for deficiency needs of va
rious departments.
Altogether,, Congress has finished
action on As measures out of 1857,
most of them minor ones, introduced
in both chambers.
AS result, leaders expressed de-
termination to drop secondary pro-
posals and stick largely to the pro-
gram outlined last week by Senator
Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky He
estimated that at least two and a
half more months would be required.
This would mean side tracking of
some pet measure of anti-New Deal
erS, including revision of the Wag-
ner labor relations act and of busi-
ness taxes. The rush for adjourn
ment was said to result from seve-
raj causes, among them the fact that
the New Deal legislative program
was virtually completed last season,
the increasing pressure of political
considerations as 1910 approaches,
and the factional differences among
Democrats. -----.~.r.-- -
Some legislators specu lated, too,
that the President might, desire to
end the session early in order to
have a free hand in foreign affairs.

(RY LYNN NESBETl

Raleigh, April 3.-Officials of the
State Department of Agriculture and
of State College were happily con-
graduating each other Saturday, and
renewing pledges of further cooper
ative effort in working out pro-
gressive program of agriculture IN
North Carolina.
1t appeared reasonably certain that
the long months of disagreement and
squabbling over duplication OF effort
control of test farms and supervision
of marketing has come to an end.
The legislature had just passed the
bill carrying $165,000 for research
work under direction of the college,
and levying an additional fertilizer
tax to yield $4,000 for the depart
ment's program of marketing, hog
cholera control and soil testing. II
has been evident all along that
money was the root of the difficulty
between the two State institutions
In the background, too, was some
personal jealousy and political am
bitions, the desire to control person
mel and to claim credit for agrlcul-
tural accomplishments.
The trouble started about the time
the legislature convened with de-
mands from the Farm Bureau group
in the east that the test farms now
controlled by the department be turn
ed over to the college for admins
tration, together with the money
which the department collected IRON

the plan to make it just tax col
lector, and let the college expenc
the money. 1t was suggested tha
research money ought to come from
the general fund of the State, but nc
serious effort was made in the early
weeks of the assembly to OBTAIN ar
appropriation for this purpose. Ratn-

cultural fund. When it appeared tina

versation rather than action; but the

In short, this time something
really was done about it.
First and foremost, the absentee

per cent of the complaints of fraud

tual fraud, was completely and en-

to reduce the House-approved $780,
100000 appropriation will be consid-
cred. One member said that every
sum from nothing to $100,000,OOO
was being discussed.
Leaders conceded it was unlikely
the Senate Appropriation Commit
tee would increase the allotment, but
they said a vigorous fight for the
original sum would be made on the
Senate floor. The President asked
for the money to supplement WPA
