The house was prepared to pass, this week, a bill setting up a federal jeommiasion to investigate every} | phase of the coal mining industry in! the hope that such an inquiry will }lay the basis for permanent peace in this strike beset industry. Such | @ bill was to be introduced today by | Chairr Winslow of the interstate commerce committee. | Altho the senate is taking a rest | until Wednesday from the long tariff | «rind, the foreign relations commit-| tee met on the president's proposal | for legislation giving federal courts | power to protect the treaty rights of | aliens so that the federal govern-)| ment could intervene and punish those responsible for violence such as the Herrin massacre ‘The bill of Senator Kellogg, which incorporates the president's sugges- tion, may be reported favorably to- day or tomorrow, but it is not prob- able that the senate will act on it until next week, after the soldiers’ bonus has been disposed of, Senator Borah, chairman of the} senate labor committee, said today he would try to get the labor commit: tee together tomorrow to take up his | bill,, providing for a fact-finding | agency in the coal industry. Borah's bill has been indorsed by the White House as being “in general what! the president desires in the way of | legislation to secure reliable facts re. garding how muth money the coal operators are making, whether wages | are right and whether prices are reas- | ; onable.”* } COMMISSIONER TO BE CHOSEN Blection of a new member of the} civil service commission is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
