WASHINGTON. Dec. 2 6. (By
Associated Press.)' The adminis
tration's- farm relter, program win
be broadened to provide "for s"bme
machinery for handling surplus
crops.
Just what form this new aid
will Jake has not been determined
but both President Coolidge and
Secretary -Jardine haye. reached
tne conclusion tnat surplus crops
present one of the dominating
problems of agriculture and. that
some governmental step ;must be
taken to afford relief.
Tremendous pressure has been
brought to bear' Tecently on the
administration by the congress
ional farm block and western ag
ricultural leaders to create a fed-
t-ral commission with powers to
direct the disposition of surplus
farm crocs in a way that would
enable the producers to at least
get the cost of production.
Heretofore the White House
has been silent on the subject, but
today aftenthe president had con
ferred with Secretary Jardine
which was the culmination of a
series of conferences between the
two, it was disclosed that the ad
ministration -was prepared to en
dorse conservative legislation -fos
tering the sale of surplus crops
n the export trade with a gov
ernment commission as a directing
agency.
The issue was .brought to a
head today after a few hours be
fore the departure for Des Moines
of the Iowa congressional delega
tion, memhera of which were In
vited to attend a, meeting there of
farmer and .bankers to discuss
means pf marketing the surplus
corn Crop.
Representative Dickinson, . re
publican, Idwa, talked with Sec
retary Jardine, just before he left
and it is understood that the agri
culture secretary who" "had "come
direct from the White; House, au
thorized the" rowa s representative t
to tell the Jarmers of that atatii
that the administration sympa
thized with their difficulties and
was prepared to ' support some
measure for handling the surplus
crops provided it did not put the
rQvernment in a business ana iix
farm prices.
" Secretary Jardine, in laying the
foundation for the bill plans to
follow the sam& course 'he" pur
sued in preparing the cooperative
marketing bill when he .called in
cooperative leaders for advice. He
will Invite farm leaders over the
country to otter suggestions.
At present the secretary peijevea
that surplus crops can be handled
through the cooperative market
ing system with a government
commission as a guiding hand. Ho
if giving consideration to the pro
posal to empower such a comniis
slon to declare "emergency "per
iods, when some particular farm
crop is under pressure and to des
ignate some agency to handle it.
"Farmers through their own .or
ganizations hare a most powerful
instrument to control the move
ment of surplus crops ijito con
sumptive channels Mr. Jardine
said today.
"With ihe confidence I have in
the cooperative movemnex, I have
always-opposed government price
fixing, either direct or . Indirect,
and the handling" of farm prod
ucts by government agencies w-ith
the "most certain' felling that a
government guaranee o this na-J
ture would eliminate ;the one real
incentive for collective effort."

Anthracite Operators. Adver-

Mine Owners Guarantee Wages
and Suggest Tentative Out
line; Move Criticized .
By Unions
PI1LADELPHIA,,' Dec. 26.
( By Associated ; Press. ) Anthra
cite operators, through . page ad
vertisements in the Sunday morn
ing newspapers are directly ask
ing their striking employes to re
turn to ork at; once at the rate
of wages paid by them when they
quit four months ago.
The operators guarantee the
wages for the next eight months
and propose that a new long term
contract can be worked out in the
meantime. The union leaders
made no formal statement in re
sponse to this action, but Thomas
Kennedy, International secretary?
treasurer of the United Mine
Workers, at his home in Hazelton,
penn., when he learned' of it said
the men would not be stampeded
back to' work; that- bey would
return only iwLen a new contract
is agreed upon. He characterized
the broadcasting of the operator's
offer at this time as 2. lack of good
faith and an attempt to "preju
dice" the wage "conference, sched
uled to meet in New York next
Tuesday. Mr. Kennedy pointed
out that the offer of the. operators
is similar to that contained in the
peace proposal submitted to the
miners an doperatdrs by the Lu
zerne county delegation of the
Pennsylvania house of represen
tatives December 15. This peace
was accepted by the operators and
rejected by the miners
Desplte the joyous shouts that
juiigwa. wit aaiKgjunatmaa carou
in the coal fields when, hews came
that the wage coiiff teace irould be
resumed next Tuesday, indications
are that the negotiators will have
a rough road to travel.
The miners, In - accepting the
peace proposals of Governor Pin-
chot, virtually agreed to go to
work without ah increase if it
were found that kr, advance ; in
wages would Bet, up. the price of
coal. This propdsal was not ac
cepted by the Operators: on the
ground that it only arbitrated
wages upward. They proposed
arbitration without conditions and
this ig the .big issue that will be
fought out in New York. The
check-off which provides for de
ducting union dues from miners'
wages is a second issue that will
be - stnrogl 'tlrged " and strongly

TROUBLE IS THREATENED
Senate Irreconcilables Watched;
Drastic RcKeryhtions May Re
I Adopted, Correspondent
Says
By JOHX T. LEWIXG, JR.
. Central Precs Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. Pres
ident Coolidge has been assured
on many occasions that the reso
lution providing for XL S. partici
pation in the World Court will
fo through the senate, but there
is no certainty whatever that It
will be approved in the form pro
posed by the president and with
the five mild reservations he has
indorsed.
Qn the contrary, there are indi
cations that possibly some of the
reservations put forward by
George Wharton Pepper of Penn
sylvania, which are drastic, may be
adopted, and this wouid be re
garded as a defeat for the League
of Nations forces in the senate.
The League of Nations fight is be
ing fought over.
Party lines have disappeared in
the fight that is just getting under
way in the upper House. Borah
and the irreconcilables threaten all
sorts of trouble for the court ad
vocates, despite the apparent ma
jority against them.
There are various estimates of
the time the debate will run, but
if the administration follows its
present plan culture will be ap
plied about February 1 to make
way for the tax bill, which it is
hoped will be out of the senate
committee by that time.
The court proposal has been be
fore the senate for nearly two
years, having been sent there by
President, Harding on February
24," 1923, with a special message
urging adoption of the court plan.
The message contained a letter
from Secretary of State Hughes
outlining the advantages of the
plan and urging four reservations.
Tnfc matter slumbered in the
forefgn felations committee for
nion'ths and no action was taken
uulil May 22, 1924, when the ma
jority of the committee voted out
a recommendation for adherence
to the court with the Pepper res
ervations. These proposed, in
brief, that the court be complete
ly disassociated from the League
of Nations and gave the senate's
1, - onsent to the ratification of the
protocol of adherence only after
the states which have adhered t.
the court should have consented
to the changes suggested.

ATTORNEY FOR CONVICTS
WOULD ANNUL SENTENCE
MOTIONS, FOR ARREST OF
JUDGMENT FILED HERE
Three Condemned Men Are De
clared to Have Been Ont
side Jurisdiction
Based on the allegation that
Tom Murray. Ellsworth Kelley
and James Willos, convicts sen
tenced to death, were not within
the jurisdiction of the court here
in which they were tried and
found guilty, Judge Will R. King,
attorney for the trio, has filed
with the county clerk motions for
arrest of judgment in the cases
with the object of having the con
viction and execution of the sen
tence held null and void. The
three convicts were sentenced to
hang for the murder of a guard
in the prison break here of Aug
ust 12.
In the motion, Judge King de
clares that Willos was in the cus
tody and charge of San Quentin
prison officials at the time of the
trial, as he was technically on
parole from that prison, although
serving a term in the stale prison
here. It is also said that Murray
and Kelley, too, were on pirole
from the California penitentiary
during the course of the trial
Judge King declares that despite
the fact that ail three men are
serving time in the Oregon prison
they-are technically in custody of
prison of Heals of the state of
California.
Another allegation made by
King is that "the escape of the
defendant was due to a violation
of that section of the constitution
of the United States and the con
stitution of the state of Oregon
wherein it was provided that cruel
and Inhuman punishment shell
not be inflicted." 1
It was alleged by the defense
during th i trial that the convict
broke prison because they be
lieved they were in-danger of be
Ing killed of they remained.
