Secretary Jardine, however, insisted that he has ull along declared that some steps must be taken to deal with the surplus, and he pointed to the language of his last annual report in support of his assertion. He declared that there has been no change in hi attitude whatever. | Speaking of the surplus problem in | his annual report. the Secretary said, |in part: n In some qua nimical to the | surely | realizea b % |touch with the mine disiricts. degree | family ottish Rite | Palmer, rep- | qle the | Loy and | g | thrifty, aithough he has been tempted | | preside, | © | i l the | a surplus of farm prod-| =4 | | the | i i | i i | | contain his is one of the major economic | problems of the Nation. It is well known that small surpluses exercise a depressing effect on prices aitogether disproportionate to their amount. Measures to regulate the movement of surpluses into consumption o that unnecessary price fluctuations ca avoided and speculative hazards less- ened are urgently needed. “The discussion of problems of sur pluses is entering more and more upon common ground, and 1 look forward to an agreement upon the principles of a solution along the broad lines here suggested.” Says Need Long Recognized.

Will Support Coolidge. Senator Capper made it clear that he desires to work with the admin- istration in its efforts along this line, and that he would not approve of any measure which was set up to embarrass the administration. Chairman Norris of the Senate com- mittee on agriculture, who has been a supporter of the plan for an ex- |port commission to handle the farm. |ers’ surplus products, is ready, he said, to aid in any plan the admin- istration puts forward which he be- |lieves will be of reAl benefit to the farmers, even though that plan does not go as far as he believes it should.

The letter was made public some time be- fore President Lewis had received his copy. “Another important factor which we here have discovered concerns activities of a politician now in the employ of one of the coal companies who has been very active in this connection for some time past. Time will tell just what part this gentle- man played in the transaction. ““The letter from the pastors, herein referred to, appeared in the press of last Thursday morning. On Thursday evening another letter was made pub- lic signed by several pastors of Irish- American congregations. The clergy- men_signing this document are scal tered between Carbondale and Nan coke. In their letter as quoted in the press they endorsed the declara- tions ‘'made yesterday in a letter to the negotiating parties from the pas- tors of the non-English speaking con gregations.’ In view of this, it there fore is quite plain that the pastors of the Irish-American congregations must have had advance knowledge of this letter because it was not made public until it appeared in the press of Thursday morning.
