Hoover Gets Busy Being As
sured of Congress' Fav
orable Action
' Washington, June 22. Tho senate
interstate commerce committee today
decided to begin hearings next Tuesday
to include not only coal price fixing, but
also steel, copper, iron and other Blip-
jilies.
Senator Rowlands, chairman of the
committee, declared that tho hearings
were going to take a wide range because
of the "danger of labor deputes and
popular uprising against high prices, if
the present conditions continue."
In a statement to the committee
. Senator Pomerene declared that coal
dealers made between 35 per cent and
40 per cent last year and that unless
something is done coal in Ohio at least
will go up to $ a ton by fall.
"Coal should be plentiful this fall
and winter," Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Meyer said.
The commerce commission has author
ized railroads to refuse to make re-con-,
sigumeuts of coal cars. This will keep
self-dumping ears on coal carrying lines
and will expedite coal shipments.
Another iniMrtant step taken by the
interstate commeree commission to r$
lieve the high coal prices, was reduction
. in the number of grade of eoal t the
head of the Great Lakes from 70 to IosaJ
than 10- The two million ton coal short
age there at the beginning of the navo
gation ig rapidly being overcome, it was
fisted. .
Representative I.cnroot's amendment
limiting presidential power in tno ioou
bill to aots specified in the measure
was passed by the house.
House leaders arc determined to hold
up all legislation even the first food
production bill providing for a food
census until the senate passes the food
control bill, it was learned today. This
bill, passed by both houses, never has
gone to conference.
On the first real test of strength, the
bouse repected, 123 to 06, an amendment
tlutt would have eliminated tho powers
given the president in the bill to license,
ail food dealer.i in order to prevent un
lawful price fixing. The amendment
offered by I.er.root was defended on the
ground that to license all dealers would
imply that all might violate the law.
Senate Gets' After It.
Washington, June 22. Congress is
preparing for an attack in forco on the
ramparts of the coal trust.
The sennit- interstate commerce com
. initteo met today to plan hearings for
government regulation of sale, trans
portation, distribution and, if necessary
requisition of the country's coal sup
ply during the war. The part the rail
roads play in distribution of the nations

gone into. :
In order to opt ' s need v -ictinn. it is
possible the bill will be offered as an

Washington. June 22. Belgium, "the
broken heart of Europe," spqke out
its sorrows in tho chamber of the sen-
toaa"'
Before a great throng in the galleries
and on the floor, Baron Moncheur, chief
of the Belgian mission to this country,'
related his story of bitterness and mis
fortune. "It is only my great desire to express
the gratitude which all Belgium feels
toward the American people and their
government that permits nic to speak
today," Moncheur said, in opening.
"You all know the unspeakable evils
which have befallen my unfortunate
country, tho unprovoked passion accom
panied by deliberate system of terror,
the burning of many of our thriving
citi3 and villages and the iiis.sacre of
thousands of our peaceful citizens.
"Then followed the iron hand of
foreign domination and enormous war
contributions exacted from all provinces
of Belgium. '

invader, as, for example,
the noble Brussels burgomaster who has
been in prison for the past two years
for trying to uphold the principles of
civil liberty which for centuries has
been so dear to all Belgium. "
"You have learned of the deporta
tion of our workmen into Germany a
crime tho horrors of which 'should cause,
more indignation throughout the world
than all other outrages against justice

like Patrick Henry: 'Give me liberty)

peaco, in which case, Germany wonld
easily ue aoie to leuu ner pieni.y oi
money even billions. Italy would un
doubtedly make a separate peace like
wise if Russia took this step because
Italy fears for what the Austrian troops
might do on her borders if they were
released from the Kussian front. With
this, it seems probable that trance
might also agree to peace on certain
favorable conditions, wnicn uermany
would be willing to grant- Under such
circumstances, nobody thinks England
would be foolish enough to stick in the
war alone, or with the United tSates.
"If England did, Germany could lit

them out. It would not tako more than

bile truck operated by the commission
in connection with the hatcheries.
Tho policy is intended to insure
against loss from damsge or injury suf
fered by others as a result of the
operation of the automobilo truck.
The attorney general holds that no
liability is imposed by law on the state
for damages resulting to others from
the operation of the truck. Such in
jury would have to be compensated by
a special act or the legislature, he says.
He also advises that even if the state
would be liable for damages, an insur

lagging states Wyoming and Ken
tucky- wired their complete returns.
The grand total of names on the
"roll of honor" is 9,649,938, The totals
are to bo submitted to the census
bureau for a closo analysis to de
termine why certain Western states
showed a registration of only iibont
fifty por cent of the estimate, while
other states, notably Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Montana, ran far over
their estimates.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
consider tho returns practically a 100
per cent registration. With the addi
tion of the eligibles already l. in the
army and navy. who were not required
to register, the total-will be brought
well over the 10,200,000 estimated by
the census bureau.
"Piercing publicity" is being used
to round up the few remaining evaders
of registration.
For those caught a stiff jail sen
tence is waiting.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
today directed the registration boards
to post a complete alphabetical list of I
the men registered in cach precinct.
He urged that the newspapers print,

ELECTRIC WORKERS
OF COAST MAY STRIKE
Trouble Starts at Aberdeen-
Would Tie Up Coast From
Mexico to Canada
Seattle. June 22. A general strike
of telephone operators and electrical
workers which would practically tic up
all Pacific Coast lines is feared here to
morrow as the result of a lockout of 19
girls at Aberdeen yesterday.
J. Morganthalcr, president of the Pa
cific, coast council of Eloctricul work
ers, of San Francisco arrived in' Seat
tle Thursday night and was scheduled
to confer with Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company officials in an ef
fort to avert the strike.
The electrical workers and the line
men of the coast are well organized
but there is no organization of the op
erators. The girls want the right to
unionize, and they also want charges
in the working schedule which includes
a guarantee of four days a week at
$l i;0 a day while learning, and $1.73 a
day when they aro proficient.
At present they are guaranteed two
days a week at $1 a day and receive
1.50 when they have learned the busi
ness. If they walk out, it is declared by
union official here that the electrical
workers and linemen will call a sym
pathetic, strike to enforce the girls" de
mands. This would mean practical ces
sation of telephone business from Mexi
co to Canada.
According to reports received from
B. F. Gordon, international organizer
of the electrical workers, who is now in
Aberdeen, the girls have gone back to
work pending a settlement of the trou
ble. "We shall do all in our power to
prevent a general strike," Gordon wir

" . .
No More Banners Will Bs
Carried Until the Law Has
Been Tried Out
Washington, June 22. Police todny
put an end to all suffrage picketing
of the White House.
Following two days' near-rioting,
Major Pullman issued strict orders
r.gainst permitting the militants to
flaunt their banners or to stand before
the White House. , '
Pullman served formal notice on the
women at 9:30 that they could not con
tinue their picketing- Then he strung
a line pf patrolmen and policewomen
from suffrage headquarters a block
eway from tho White House up to and
along the avenue on which tho mansion
fronts. "
"The period of leniency has passed,"
he to'ld the United Press after issuing "
this order.
Meantime there was prospects of sen
national developments in the situation.
The women announced they had not de
cided about what time they should en
deavor to picket the mansion, but said
they might move earlier than previously
because of the "extraordinary condi
tions of having a string of police tie- :
fore headquarters. .
The orders against picketing eame as
a direct result of a conference bctwe-eit
Pullman, Inspector Grant and Miss
Alico Paul, clinv frail leader of tha
"cause.".
Just what she told the officials ra
not made public immediately, though
there were suggestions that her remarks
were, "such as to startle the nation."
1 Clung to Their Banner.
Pullman's talk with Miss Paul was
over the telephone. He showed plainly ,
he meant business and that ha will ac
cept any challenge the militants want
to hurl at him.
Shortly after issuance of the order,
three patrolmen and two policewomen,
after trying peacefully to dissuade Mim
Lucy Burns, militant leader, and Mis
Catherine Morey. of Boston, from un
furling a big yellow banner before thn
White House gates, arrested them and
took them to headquarters.
The women clung desperately to their
yellow banner bearing a quotation from
one of President Wilson's spoeches on
democracy.
"You must move on," said the pa
trolman. "Yon can't stand here with
that standard."
The two policewomen then stepped
up and argued for a moment with Miss
Burns. "Wouldn't you rather give up
the banner ond move on than being tak
en inf" said the officer.
- Stuck to Her Flag.
"You can't take away this banner;
it's private property," said Miss Burn.
" We will keep it. It is private and we.
have the right to stand here. Our posi
tion is logical and constitutional. Yours
is illogical and unconstitutional."
The second policewoman, tried to eeS
Miss Morey, a frail little girl, to give
up the fight.
"No, I won't." she 'snapped, her face
growing pale. "You have no right to
do this."
The two policewomen toolt the suf
f racists and their banner in charge.
The arrested suffragists were released!
shorlly after arriving at police head
quartcrs. Before being freed they wcra
warned against further attempts to
picket.
Russian Writes.
