- A—2 » COAL TAX BEGINS, FOES AWAIT TEST 15 Per Cent Levy Under Guffey Tax Clamped Upon Industry. By the Associated Press, The Federal Government imposed a 15 per cent excise tax on the Nation's | bituminous coal producers today in an unprecedented attempt to regulate the industry. i Under the law, the tax became ef- | fective today, although it will not be collected until January 2. Those of the 15,000 producers who comply with ““Little N. R. A.” code rules to be su- | ‘pervised by the National Coal Com- mission will receive rebates of 90 per cent of the tax. Already opponents of the Guffey coal act, defeated in efforts to obtain an immediate order restraining the Government from assessing the levy, bave undertaken legal moves designed to test the law’'s constitutionality in the Supreme Court. What’s What Behind News In Capital League Note Straddle Officially Ambiguous But Pro Sanctions. BY PAUL MALLON. HE Italian press has now hailed Secretary Hull's last note as a rebuff to the League of Na- tions. The League has hailed it as an encouragement to proceed with sanctions against the Italians. In the midst of this confusing hail- ing, the duty has devolted upon a diplomat within the State Depart- ment to interpret the note. It is his job to condense all the acts of the Secretary of State into confidential memo form for our foreign envoys strewn around the world. He struggled with the Hull docu- ment half an hour and then hailed it to his secretary as fol- lows: “Send them the whole note. I 2,000 Owners Accept Code. The Coal Commission said today | approximately 2,000 mine owners had agreed to abide by the codes. While this number is small, it was said, these mines produce nearly half of the country's soft coal tonnage. | While a few of the large companies, including the Pittsburgh Coal Co., | announced they intended to with-| hold adherence to the codes, com- mission attorneys said the Govern- ment, a large consumer, Was pre- pared to stop all coal purchases from hon-signers.

Carter Case Pending. Counsel for James W. Carter, presi- dent of the Carter Coal Co. of West Virginia, failed to obtain from District Supreme Court a temporary injunc- tion restraining the Government from imposing the tax, although he did succeed 1in getting an injunction re- straining Carter's company from ac- cepting the code. | Immediately his counsel took an appeal to the District Court of Ap- peals, a move which opened legal ave- nues directly to the Supreme Court of the United States. Carter's lawyers sought out Chief Justice Hughes yes- terday and asked him to grant an (immediate restraining order. Hughes replied he thought it a matter for the full court, now in recess, to decide. The next conference of the justices will be November 9. They could give 8 decision November 11, the next de- cision day of the court. MISS M'DERMOTT DIES AT HOME HERE Heart Disease Proves Fatal to Retired Operator of Dress Shop.

LAWS ARE HELD INVALID Few Declared Unconstitu- tional, Although Congress Passes 20,000 Acts. BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Eastern Quakes Usually Light Probable Deep Cracks in Earth’s Surface Seen in Two Main Asked to Accept $794,000 P. W. A. Allotment. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., November 1.— Immediate acceptance of the $794,000 allotment made by the P. W.

The jundamental explanation for such evasiveness is supposed to be that a man higher up than Mr. | Hull did not want any commit- ments or advance promises made to the League. For several obvi- | ous reasons, also, this Government did not want to assume the respon- sibility for failing to co-operate | with the League on a peace en- | deavor, although involvment in it could conceivably lead to war. The tortures of authorship are supposed to have beset Mr. Hull for | three entire days. He spent that ‘Roouvelt in less than two years re- | versed the tally by adding five invalid acts to the Democratic total, which was more than the Democratic Party had been charged with in all the time | it had previously been in power. | In fairness to the Republicans, it should be stated that they have been | in control of Congress much more since the Civil War than the Demo- crats, so their opportunities to pass legislation that could be declared in- valid by the Supreme Court were | relatively much greater than those of their political opponents. Calculations Differ. According to some calculations, there were 73 and not 63 cases of | unconstitutionality. The difference is due to the fact that in 10 instances the laws themselves were declared valid but the application of the law by some Federal department or bu- | reau was in some particular deemed | by the Supreme Court to have gone beyond the Constitution.

A plausible explanation, | says Capt. Heck, s that of great un- derlying faults. The region is old and the origin of these in some re- mote past is purely a matter for spec- | ulation. Some say they resulted from | the withdrawal of the great ice sheet, | about 30.000 years ago. In the course of a few centuries a blanket of ice | 2 or 3 miles thick was removed from the surface. It took a big load off the yielding interior ball of the earth, under the 60 miles of crust. With this weight removed, the interior sur- face tended to rise, causing the crack in the crust above it. This cause has been rather positively established for They are of mod- | They are due | one earthquake region in Scandinavia. For the eastern United States, how- ever, it is purely plausible speculation, says Capt. Heck. Nobody has ever even located the crack. If it exists, it is too far down to get at. There have been some terrific earthquakes in the past along the St. Lawrence- Arkansas belt, including the biggest one ever recorded in the United States. The center of this one was at New Madrid, Mo, early in the nineteenth century. Quakes Likely to Be Light. ‘The grain of comfort is that quakes along this belt, while they are apt to come at any time, should not be ex- pected to cause any terrible catas- trophe. Most of them are so mild that they have not even been recorded in the past. The same holds true for the Atlantic coast line belt, to which they are apt to cross over. One notable exception has been the Charleston, !'s. ., quake, but this apparently was along another, shorter crack. The existence of the bells can be shown quite definitely in the case of | the State of Tennessee. W Ten- nessee is in the St. Lawrence-Arkansas beit. East Tennessee is in the coast line belt where it swings over into the Blue Ridge range and where quakes occur with the greatest frequency. | The center of the State lies between the two belts and has no quakes at all. The District of Columbia is like- Iv to be caught in a quake originating in either belt.
