None have been passed although several have Ir en prepared for consideration of the Senate Besides the appropriation bills, farm legislation and the foreign debt settle. ments are pressing for consideration. The House already h passed the ad- ministration bill to aid farm -oper tives by the establishment in the De partment of Agriculture of a division of co-operative marketing. That bill has been referred to the Senate com- mittee on agriculture. It will not be opposed in commitiee and will, it is believed, pass the Senate with little difficulty. "he co-operatives re united in favor of it. The House com- mittee on agriculture is still strug- gling with the problem of the export- able surplus crops, and probably will not report out a bill for several weeks. War Debt Bill. The bill ratifying the settlement of the Italian war debt to she United States negotiated by the American War Debt Commission has been passed by the House and is awaiting action in the Senate. The bills ratifving the debt settlements with Belgium anad several other countries also must be acted upon. The Senate has still to receive a re- port from the privileges and elections committee on the contest of Daniel . Steck, Democrat, for the seat occu- pied by Senator Brookhart, Repub- lican. The subcommittee which has had charge of the contest is about to veport to the full committee, and in- dividual members of the subcommit- - have indicated that the report will adverse to Senator Brookhart. Furthermore, the prediction has been made that the full committee ulso will concur in this view of the case. In any event, it is probable that the con- test will be carried to the floor of the Senate and there fought out.

The other witness was Mrs. S 75 Kennerly of 913 Jefferson street, Brightwood Park. ho «aid she had jasked the Grifith Coal Corporation to | de'iver a ton of Pocahontas conl to her home. She said she was quoted a vrice of $13 a ton for the coal and $1.75 additional for delivery, making the cost at the curb £15.75 a, ton. She ordered the same coal from another dealer for $14 delivered, the following day, she testified. In this Instance, too, Mr. Griffith promised to investi- gate and report back. Denies High Prices. Maj. 12 Army officer, . Camphell, a retired who asked ‘the permis- Sion of the committee to make i statement, said last vear he paid an average price of $12.23 a ton for his coal.

His freight and other expenses brought he price up to §$5.25, showing a_profit £ 75 cents a ton. Mr. Meiklejohn testified that in December he bhought the same coal for $3.36 a ton at the mines, explaining that the price was higher In November because there was | L rush by retailers to purchase at| that time.

In December it dropped 60 at the mines and early in January to $4.76. Now, however, it is back to $6.72 at the mines. or $9.85 on the tracks here.

With the costs added, the total cost would be $11.74 a ton for coal bringing about $13.50 a ton, or an in- dicated profit of $1.76 a ton.
