Controversial subjects, such as an ar- my report containing a strong denuncla- tion of the disturbances in the country alleged to bo due to irregulars, passed without discussian, and the remalnder of ‘the proceedings were mainly formal.

REPLIES TO COAL DEBATE IN SENATE Washington, June 8.—Agitation break- ing out on the floor of the senate over the administration’s efforts to keep bitumin- ous coal prices from climbing during the strike was met tonight by Secretary Hoover with a statement asserting that “the essential thing about coal prices is that the runaway market had been stop- ped. Except for a ‘small percentage of the present producers who have refused 1o co-operate” he contended, prices have receded from the level reached on May 15 and the public has been protected from a repetition of 1920 conditions. Precipitated by Senator Walsh, dem- ocrat, Massachusetts who declared that the public paticnce was being exhausted by coal operators taking advantage ot agreements reached with Mr. Hoover to boost their prices to the rctailers, dis- cussion of the fuel - situation became general in the senate today, senators sug- gested and opposed the practicability of government control of the mines as a so- lution of the conditions. . “Extortion is going on with apparent government approval,” Senator Walsh declared, explaining, however, that he! did not wish to criticise Mr. Hoover. The latter, however, he declared, har' heen “fooled” by the operators into == ov- ing 2 maximum fair price of $3.50 a ton for coal at the mines. “Some of the senators have been mis- informed,” Mr. Hoover said, “by mis- leading statements from a small group of retail dealers who object strenuously to any attempt to restrain prices.” Mr. Hoover declared that the retail- ers had addressed the same figures to him as they had to the senators in describing the present coal situation and made public his reply to Homer D, Jones, Chicago, president of the National Retail Coal Merchants' assoclation, in which he took issue with the retalers’ position that an advance of $1.50 a ton for coal to the householder was war- ranted as a result of the recent negoti- ations with operators. ‘Assuming from the assoclation’s state- raent that it was opposed to any govern- mental policy controlling the production or distribution of coal, Mr. Hoover ex- pressed the belief that the “assoclation does not witsh to co-operate In the pre- vention of profiteering in this time of emergency” and that “such a change of view” ‘after recent promises ' of co-op- eration did not represent the vast ma- Jority of retail coal dealers of the country who are making every effort, he said, to SUPIY thelr customers without unusua profits.” BY GROWING CONDITIONS | ‘Washington, June 5—Large indjcated chops ylelds, due principaily to splendid | growing conditions thus far this ssason, | promise more abundant production thi; year than harvested in 1921 deepite| smaller acreages, espzcially in wheat and oats.
