FAIR DATE OF MICHAEL COLLINS IS HELD While the body of Michael Collins was being carried through the streets of Dublin yesterday aiL Irish poet sang the following lines: : Bear him to that hallowed place ' Where our deathless dead are resting;. Where the spokesmen of the race Gather for the final questing. Chivalrous he fought his fight, ' Kindly, patient, unreviling, Hopeful that the dawning light Would reveal a nation smiling. Lay his body int the earth, Giant frame and soul are riven. Think of Collins in his mirth. And his prayer: : DUBLIN, Aug, 28-(By Asso ciated Press.) Michael CoUfns rests in the soil of the Irish Free State tor which he died fighting.; He was buried today In the Glas nevin cemetery, -where lie the bodies ot Arthur Griffith, Parnell and .other patriots,, and many of his comrades in tne struggle for Irish freedom. , i - Entire Nation Mourns. . The whole nation mourned; thousands at the grave; and those who sorrowed in Dublin were only a fraction of the whole. Dublin might have been a city of the dead; a. great hush wa& every where, yet almost a million people were there, standing or kneeling on the streets; gentry from the fine houses in the suburbs, v and the poor from the slums; women were wrapped in their shawls car rying their Infants or leading their awe-stricken children. -A multitude was grouped in windows, and assembled on roof tops, clung uncertainly to chim neys while others climbed 1 stone walls and monuments alt to catch a glimpse of - Ireland's greatest cortege and pray for one .of Ire land's greatest patroits. Tributes are Paid; " An Irish bard sang today while they carried Michael Collins through the streets of Dublin. It was only one of a thousand trib utes to this young man and '.re markable Irish genius, who in his short thirty years had given Ire land her place among the nations I of Jthe earth but who, like Grif- VISALLV, Cal., Aug. 28.

Head of Old Peoples Home Returns to Former Resi dence in Nebraska Mrs. Elizabeth D. Proctor, for the past years the executive head and . matron of the Old Peoples home is preparing to leave Salem Friday to go back to her old home near Swanton, Neb. Mrs. Proctor has been highly successful as bead of the home for the aged. Her cheery good nature, her tact, her executive ability, and her genuine love for the sometimes .crochety, some times hard to understand and generally Infirm guests of the home,' have given her high standing in her field. It is a hard position to flit, but it pays wonderful returns in the affection of these elderly folks who are so appreciative of a good home. FUNERAL IN DUBLIN "Be they forgiven fore his work was crowned with complete victory. While the requiem mass was ee ing chanted in the cathedral a military dispatch rider rode up to the edifice and entered by the main portal. He carried in his hand a single white Illy, a token sent by Kitty Klernan, the dead patriot's fiancee. It was placed on the coffin lid, and was tenderly laid there again later when the coffin was lowered to the grave. Collins Successor Speaks At the grave side, Richard Mnl cahy, who succeeds as commander-in-chief of the national army, speaking of the life ..work an1 the ideals of Michael ColUns for Irish freedom, said solemnly: -- "Michael Collins can never be buried, for his spirit will live to guide to achievement his ideals.'

'Leading Group Forms Not , only was it . revealed that the- president himself was not dis posed definitely to ask . for con gressinal authority to take over the properties involved in the strike situation, but it was mads known also that an influential group of leaders in the senate and house had taken a position which would make passage of the' auth orizing legislation extremely dif ft CUlt. . ..! : Meantime, committees in both branches of congress reported for passage later in the week a bill recommended by the administrjf tion to strengthen its hand in con trolling coal distribution by cre ation of a federal distributing agency and by giving to the In terstate commerce commission broader powers over priority of shipments.

Harding: Withdraws Pressure It was said today that opinion among the chief executive's ad visers was divided on the subject of government operation, but that in the end Mr. Harding indicated he would exert no pressure for nthorizine such a step. As viewed by the Mayflower conferees, the coal strike situa tion, both anthracite and. bitumin ous, appeared in a way to sorve itself and insure increased pro duction in the very near future, leaving the problem of moving the product to the consumer as the crux of the whole effort to restore industrial stability. It was indicated, however,, that although the administration had ( resolved to center its efforts toward facili tating coal shipments, details of the action were yet to be formu lated. t Itrassurtng Reports Received i Despite the transportation diffi tutties, the increase in bituminous production has reached a pome where the administration decided that the voluntary distribution or e&ntzatioB. which has been tunc tionlng for the past four weeks, potild be" abandoned pending en actment of the distribution legis lation before congress.

In former years it was quite customary for town people to avail themselves of Snnday to go into the country an gcher all the evergreen berries they could use. However, since the berries have become marketable most of the town people have realized that they-have no more rieht to enter anothter man's pasture and help themselves to his evergreens than they have to begin picking his strawberries. Whole Families Go Sunday, however, proved an ex ception. Whether the people were a little harder up for some extra spending money or needed more jellies and jams than they had thus fir been able to secure the fruit for is unknown but it is known that many city folks loaded their cars with their fam ilies, buckets, baskets and tubs and set out for an all-day's pick ing in the berry fields belonging to Silverton farmers. In some cases where the own ers discovered their new crews at work they informed them that their assistance was not needed.

(By The Associated Press) Hen ry Ford In announcing Saturday that his plants would be closed September; 16 because of condi tions in the coal industry, began a fight for what he believes Is a great principle, the Associated Press was Informed today by sources close to the manufacturer. Mr. Ford, it was stated, has started what he declares is a fight against all profiteering in coall, and he believes he is in a better position perhaps to do so than any one else. Ho feels, it was stated, that by taking up the right, he is doing every other manufacturer as well as working men through out the country, a real service. Coal Shortage Denied. Mr. Ford denies there is a coal shortage. The investigations of his representatives convinced him. it was stated, that coal brokers of the country have an enormous sup ply of coal on hand. The Ford Motor company could obtain enough coal to cover a tract 10 acres square if it would submit to being vlctimezed by profiteers it was declared. For several weeks, it was asserted, the Ford offices at Dearborn have been flooded with offers of coal with delivery guaranteed. It was de- dared that the prices ranged from 100 to 300 per cent above the normal cost. Workers" Plight Feared. The Detroit manufacturer be lieves that if he yields to what he terms 'the holdup" of the coal brokers, every other manufacturer will follow suit and that coal prices win reach an unprecedented fig ure. One source close to Mr.. Ford said the manufacturer had "at the back of his mind" a nfctnre of working men beine unable to but enough" coal to keep their families warm because of the prices that eventually would be asked "unless this profiteering was nipped in its inception." - o roru company recently has received a large number of of fers on the part of coal operators to sell mines. None of these of fers have been seriously consid ered, however because of the pres sent transportation conditions. Ofrers Not Significant.

A considerable establishment for fire fighting and rescue work has been set up at the 2400 foot level. Telephone lines there were tepaired, extra transformers for providing electric light were in stalled today and other arrange ments were made.
