P.)— Expectationsof a settlement of the soft coal strike on a national scale vanished tonight among the union officials and operators here for a joint conference on peace plans with the receipt of reports of the failure of Indiana and Ilinois; operators’ associations to agree to join the conference. The hope, however, was held out that settlement affecting scattered mines in Illinois, ' Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania and possibly West Virginia may result ifrom the con- ference which reconvenes here tomorrow afternoon. President John L. Lewis of the miner: announced that the Jjoint conference would reassemble to open negotiations. The question, however, of whether the miners would be willing to make a wage agreement with the operators now here was undecided, and indications were that a decision would be deferred until the afternoon meeting tomorrow with the aperators, most ‘of whom own mines| in Ohio. A few operators also are here from Pénnsylvania, Indiana and Tilinois. While the number of opérators here for the conference was increased today, no official poll had been taken of the coal output controlled by them and iis its absence the union head deferred a de- cision whether to proceed with a partial peace program. Confidence, however, was expressed by some operators and union leaders that the number of ~operators willing to make a settlement was sufficlent to in- sure a break in the strike. Some West Virginia operators .were expected . 10 join in the conference, their representa- tives already being here. The Indiana operators refused join the conference and the Tllinois erators committee adjourned. until morrow without announcing a final de- cision. - The action in Illinols was re- garded by some of the conferees here as indicating the possibility of more Tllinois | operators coming to the -conference. .No word had come from operators in.trans- Mississippi soft . coal fields, but - their attendance was regarded as doubtful. * Mr, Lewis declined to comment on the action in Indlana and Hlinois.

British and French Experts Foresee That French Control of Germany's Finances Would Involve the Allies in Em- Are Strongly Supporting the French Viewpoints, While the Opinion is That the French Proposals Will Have to be London, Aug. 5.—(By. The A. P.)—The propésal ‘made by Premier Poincare of France for control of Germany's finances, in return for 2 moratorium for Germany seems 1o have found favor' with the Brit- ish and Italian financial éxperts, main- iy, because they foresee. that the plan would involve the allies in embarrassing political entaglements which wouid not be justified by what might be gained finan- cially. i This .developed today during the di cussion of the Poincare plan by the fi- mancial experts, wiren there were-several animated_ tilts. Among the mew polnts examined into today were the possibilities of establishing customs. barTiers on the eastern boundary of German occupied territory—whether it .would be practicable to place a tax upon everything entering or leaving the Ruhr region; the question of seizure of state owned mines, forests and domains on the left ban's of the Rhine, and also whether the 26 per cent. of customs duties pro- vided for in the agreement of May, 1321, which now! goes to the allied treas- uries, could, instead, be paid to the ‘reparations ‘commission, thus forming part of the-reparations fund.s The Belgians strongly supported the French viewpdint, in opposition to the British while the Italians-are leaming toward thé British position. which ap- pears 1o be that it' may easily be pos- sible to-resort to measures of such string- ency as to defeat the object, in view, while runninz the risk of ultimately dis- organizing Germany's economic life. M. Delasteyrie, France,: replying to these objections, emphasized that _the proposed mieasures were of a technical economic character, and mot military. It seems to be apparent that there will be no unanimity with regard to M. Pofn. care's preposals. A’majority of the com- mittee of experts was against the pro- posed customs barrier or the imposi- RETURNS FROM STATEWIDE PRIMARIES HELD YESTERDAY Chicago. ‘Apg. 5.

The. satiéfaction with which the Mexi- can people have received 'President Ob- regon's . ratification of the financial {agreement recently negotiated by 'Sec- retary of the Treasury De La Huerta in New York was teflected In the Mexico City press today. ~All ,the newspapers expressed unqualified editorial approv and professed to see in this action a long step toward a definite adjustment of ‘the international ‘differences between Mexico and the United States. As the docament !s understood here. Mexico must make .an fnitial payment next January on the sum of 30,000,000 pesos, which is to be liquidated during 1923. and this_is.regarded. by the. news- papers as a tremendous sum to be raised. Senor De La Huerta. however, says there is more than 8.000.000 pesos al- ready .on depostt in the Banco Nacional to be used for that purnose. 4nd that within the next five months Mexican operators, from whom most of the reve- nues will ba obtained for application on the external debt. will pay another 8. 000.000 pesos. Customs levies are ex- pected to add another 12,000.000, the secretary was quoted as saying. BANKERS READY TO FUND MEXICAN NATIONAL DEBY New TYork.

In this com- nection, however, it was decided to- study the possibility of a system of guarantees insuring to the allies 2 sup- ply of cgz2l and wood. The jifoposal to ask Germany o some sent to concede to the allies a chare in industrial - concerns also was reiected. The opinion generaily prevai¥e; that the proposed steps now were nesded less, in view of the guarantees lately impos- ed by the committee after its visit to Berlin M. Delasteyrie, who attended the morn- ing sitting of the experts, was absent during the afternoon session. It seems evident that M. Poincares proposals. If they are ever adopted. will be considerably modified. The French premier is considered to have foreseen this when he admitted that the propos- als were of an elastic character. The principal delegates already have begum talking among themselves over moaie fications. . . Poincare’s proposal for a more fundamental allied control of Germany’s finances appears to have been taken by Premier Llovd George, M. Theunls, of Belzium, and Sigfr Schanzer, the Itallan foreizn minister. as an expedi- ent to gain time for dis~ussion among themselves of other possibilities of & i settlement of the situation. It is said that if anplied successfully the plan' would vield about 300,000,000 gold marks vearly The principal objections advanced the British experts was that the allies would become responsible for German finance and would entangle themselves in the economic and political complica- tions. Another objection was the slaborate and costly machinery which would be required for rather doubtful results —— . SENATE VOTES TO INCREASE THE TARIFF ON SUGAN Washington, Aug. S.—The senate a proved today am increase of thres-tentie of a cent 2 pound in the tariff on sugar: rejected a plan for a government bounty of $5.500.000 for domestic potash pro- ducers. and rescinded its former action in \'oung.nn im;mn of two cents a pound on white arsenic. Potash and white arsenic were placed on the free list, The sugar rate of 23 cents a pound was a compromise between the 2.5 cents duty urged by Louisiana cane and west R beet sugar producers and the 2 cents proposed by the house and approved by the finance committee majority. It s three-tenths of a cent above the tariff in the existing emergency act and 105 cents above that in the Underwood act. Because of the operation of the 20 per cent. tariff differential allowed to Cuba, the 2.3 cents rate on sugar would work out at 1.84 cents a round on sugar from that country, which constitutes practical- Iy all of American imports. This rate on Cuban suger is .24 of one cent al g = the existing tariff and .16 of one cont lower than proposed by Senator Brous- sard, democrat. Louisiana, who led the fight for the 235 cents rate. nder its unanimous consent agree- ment. the senate tomorrow will dispose of amendments to the paragraphs dealing Wwith_duties on hides. boots, shoes, leather and Teather zoods and then before recess- ing on Friday will dispose of the flexibie tariff provisions proposing broad powers. for the president er tariff rates and the amendments to the tariff commission act. the so-called “scientific” tariff prope osition. The Frelinghuvsen amendment for a entific” tariff has been considered by the finance committee majority, which is expected to recommend an amendment embodying the principle.
