Rate on Flour Boosted
Washington; July 1. By a vote
f 38 to 12 the senate approved to
Jay a tariff of 30 cents a bushel o,i
wheat.
Democratic leaders declared dur
ing the debate which preceded the
otc that this rate would cost the
tmericau people $100,000,000. Sena
tor McCuinber, republican. North
Dakota, in charge of the measure,
Hating frankly the purpose of the
rate was to keep above the world
level the price of northern spring
wheat from the Dakota and Minne
tota, said he did not think the tariff
proposed would be carried on to
the consumer, but even if it was it
would not amount to $2 a year to
ac'n consumer.
Split on Final Vote.
Minority leaders sweltering
through a four-hours' fight against
the wheat rate, talked most of the
time to practically empty seats.
Despite the fight, however, the
minority split o,n the final vote, Sen
itors Jones of New Mexico and Ken
drick of Wyoming, voting with the
solid republican majority for the
committee rate, which is an increase
of S cents over the house rate, but
a decrease of S cents from the ex
Lstin? emergency tariff duty.
With the wheat fight out of the
way, the senate made unusually rap
id progress on the bill, approving
several scores of committee amend
ments. The first to b agreed upon
was a duty of 78 cents per 100
pounds on flour, an increase of 28
cents over the house rate. Other
rates approved included!
Bocit Rate on Potatoes.
. Irish potatoes, 58 cents per 100
pounds, house rate, 2 cents; dried,
2 3-4 cents a pound, house rate, 3 1-2

house rate, t 1-2 cents.
' -Tomato paste, 45 per cent ad

Onions, 1 cent per pound, house
rate, 75 cents per 100 pounds.
Coconuts were transferred to the
free list, but coconut meat, prepared
was made dutiable at 4 cents a
pound against the house rate of 4 1-2
cents.

Kates on oreparea iruus were in

Washington, July 1. Whisky
withdrawals fell off nearly 7,000,000
gallons during the past fiscal year,

seized property in the amount of
$208,832.50 were effected, and an ad
ditional saving of $156,900 otherwise
effected. Under the narcotic laws
over 2,200 violations were exposed,
resulting in fully 75 per cent convic
tions and approximately $70,000 in
fines. Sentences in both prohibition
and narcotic cases were uniformly
much more severe.
"Important changes took place.

Conference on
Miners' Strike
Both Sides Refuse to Make
Concessions to End Walk
out Harding Threatens
U. S. Intervention.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING
Omuha Heo Lasd Wire.
Washington. July 1. After being
admonished by President Harding to
settle . their disnute.: . ui. default, of
which he said the government would
intervene to avert a tucl iamme, str
coal operators and mine union of
ficials put in the hottest day so far
this summer trying to find a basis
for negotiations to end the coal
strike. ,
When the conference called by
the president adiourned tonight it
appeared that little, if any, progress
had been mode in getting togetner
on a mode of procedure.
The session, which was held in
secret at the suggestion of the presi
dent, was marked by a series of
clashes between John L. Lewis,
president, and other officers of the
United ' Mine Workers on the one
hand and the operators of the strike
zone in the bituminous and anthra
cite fields on the other.
' Union Leaders Firm.
The union leaders held to their
contention that the only satisfactory
basis of settlement is either a na
tional woge agreement or an agree
ment covering the central competi
tive fields.' The operators, with equal
obstinacy, held that they would not
be justified in making any but dis
trict or state agreements.
The conference is to meet again
tomorrow and Monday, and on July
4, if necessary, in the effort to find
a commcn ground.
"We wish you who best know
the way to solution to reach it among
yourselves in a manner to command
the sanction bf American public
opinion," said the president. "Failing
in that, the servants of the Ameri
can Dconle will be called to the task
in the name of American safety and
for the greatest good of all of the
people.''
Urges Permanent Solution.
While a settlement of the strike,
enabling full resumption of coal
production is the immediate task of
the conference, the president urged
the miners and operators to take
steps at this conference toward a
permanent solution of the problem of
coal production and distribution.
"The government," said the presi
dent, "has no desire to participate
in a temporary makeshift.1 For the
good of all the people, the govern
ment craves a way to permanent sta
bility, tranquillity and periods of em
ployment at just wages, righteous
freedom for workers and righteous

City of Home Ownership

Home ownership is the su

Nebraska n Takes Members to
Tak for Holding Up Work
on
Wilson Dam at
Muscle Shoals.
Keeping Men From Work
Washington, July 1. (By A. P.)
The senate was token to task to
day by Senator Norris, republican,
Nebraska, for concurring in the
house amcnrinfnt to the army bill
delaying until October 1. beginning
of new wrok on the Wilson dam
at Muscle Shoals, Ala.
In a brief speech, he reminded the
senate that its original proposol
would have permitted 1 000 or more
men to have begun work today, and
declared its confirmation of . the
house action meant another yearr
delay of work on the project and
prevention of idle laborers in the
south from obtaining employment.
The senate's originol proposal.
Senator Norris asserted, also would
have saved "a couple or more mil
lion dollars for the taxpayers" as
well as preventing the "great fer.
tilizer trust" from "hammering down
for another year" the Alabamo
farmers and continuing, during that
time, the "domination over the
downtrodden farmers of America."
Blames Propaganda.
The Nebraska senator attributed
the senote's action in yielding to the
house, to a "great propaganda" that
"carried it off its feet," and said it
yielded because of a "combination of
men who were afraid "Henry Ford's
offer might be lost and becauseof
"men who did not want anything
done." The senote rollcall, he said,
showed the former group was "as
sisted by every millionaire in the
senate."
"This is the first of July," Sen
ator Norris continued. "It is the
day when, had it not been for the
postponement of the preparation
which was made by the senate for
the continuation of the work at
Muscle Shoals, a thousand or more
men. who. are ,now idlewould hove

In Charge of Insurgent Force
in Dublin Holding Out
Against Free State
Troops.
Cork. July l.-(By A. P.)-There
seems good reason to believe that the
republican forces are mobilising this
evening preparatory to a move to
take possession of the city and oc
cupy strategic points. Several build
ings, including the general postoffice,
are indicated as likely to be taken
over by the insurgents.
Belfast, July i. (By A. P.) The
big main line bridge, two miles south
of Drogheda, has been blown up,
severing railway communication be
tween Belfast and Dublia
Dublin, July 1. It is reported on
good authority that Eamon De
Valera is in command of a detach
ment of insurgents which is holding
out against the government troops
m Sackville street, several blocks
feast otthevJ-Cowtfcr-is.,'.
More than 50 insurgents who had
been holding out in the Capel street
area surrendered to the government
forces at 2 o clock this morning and
were marched to the Wellington
Barracks, says a statement issued by
the national army headquarters.
Capel street is in the vicinity of the
Four Courts building, which is still
burning.
About 50 national troops were
buried in the debris when the ex
plosion rocked the Four Courts yes
terday, says- an official communica
tion issued late last night. All of
them were wounded, 30 of them
severely. Nobody was killed by the
explosion, which, the communica
tion charges, was caused by the ir
regulars setting off a mine in the
basement of the central hall.
The provisional free state govern
ment turned today to the task of
clearing out the remaining nests of
insurgents, following the fall of the
Four Courts, the chief stronghold
of the anti-treaty forces.
The surrender this morning of
more than 50 rebels who had been
holding out in the Capel street area
was hailed as evidence , that the
morale of the republicans had been
weakened by the yielding of Rory
O'Connor and Liam Melfowes, two
of their strongest fighting leaders.
Plan of Action.
The menace still confronting not
only Dublin but the nation was
recognized, however, and the dail
minister of defense, in a proclama
tion to the troops of the national
army declared:
"We put our hand in this fight in
defense of the people's will, and with
your aid we will see it to a success
ful issue."
The plan of action against the
irregulars, who have established
themselves in hotels and other prem
ises, will probably assume the form
of an encircling movement with in
tense fields of action in certain areas.
The total casualties in the three
days' fighting have not yet been as
certained, but it is estimated they
will not greatly exceed 100, the fatali
ties being placed at about 40.
Trouble Brewing in South.
London, July 1. (By A. P.) Re
duction of the Four Courts, chief
rebel stronghold in Dublin, seems to
have justified the belief that the pro
visional free state government can
cope with the situation.
Trouble is believed to be .brewing
in the south.
Republican sympathies are noto
riously widespread in "rebel Cork"
and it will be tio surprise if the re
publicans there rally in arms against
the provisional government. . ' .

No One
Dolds Lose Suit
to Retain Plant
of Skinner Firm
Nf, Wins Action to Regain
Building and Equip
ment Leased on
Contract.
Keith Neville, receiver for the
Skinner Packing company, Saturday
won a hotly contested suit he brought
to annul a contract by which the
Dold Packing company acquired the
Skinner plant.
A decision given Saturday by B. H.
Dunham, special master in chancery,
recommends that the order of annul
ment be entered.
The Skinner company is declared
exempt from any losses the Dolds
may have suffered, but specifies the
Dolds are liable for rental of the
plant during their occupancy and are
entitled only to a reasonable sum for
improvements made by them.
Not Liable for Losses.
His recommendation in full is as
follows:
"The master recommends that a
decree be entered in favor of the re
ceiver and in favor of plaintiff stock
holders, annulling the contract of
October 26, 1920; that said decree
provide that the Skinner Packing
company is not liable to the Dold
Packing company for any losses suf
fered by it in operations under the
contract; that the Dold Packing com
pany is liable for the reasonable ren
tal value of the premises and prop
erty of the Skinner Packing com
pany during the period of occupancy
thereof by the Dold company (which
rental value shall be determined upon
a further hearing and an account
ing between the two companies),
and that the Dold Packing company
is entitled to credit for the reason
able value of such changes, altera
tions or improvements as have been
made by the Dolds during their
occupancy of the Skinner plant, and
which such changes constitute better
ments in said. plant."
Bill of Exception Allowed.
A bill of exceptions is allowed for
the Dolds to appeal the case, Federal
Judge Woodrough stated.
"The master found that the con
tract made between the Dolds and
Paul F. Skinner was unfair to the
stockholders, so he was entitled to
set it aside," said Woodrough. He
stated the receiver was not guilty of
"laches" as charged bv counsel for
Dold.
The receiver charged Jacob and
Ralph Dold with failure to live up
to the contract and with misrepre
sentations. Counsel for Dold ques
tioned the jurisdiction of the court
in this case and the receiver's right
to fight for annulment of a contract
which predated his appointment as
receiver.
More than $500,000 is'involved.
The mastat's report specifically
exonerates Jacob Dold personally
from any charges of false representa
tion. Bee Sting Causes Driver

Washington, July 1. Members' of
the United States Brazilian Exposi

day at the White House that Presi
dent Harding had accepted the
resignation of Frank H. Harrison of
Nebraska, a member of the commiS'

Commissioner General Collier of
the commission said he was not ad
vised as to whom the president might
select as successor to Mr. Harrison,
who had served since his appoint

Charges that Mr. Harrison was
not working in harmony with other
members of the commission and that
he had failed to keep his accounts in
such condition as was desired by
other members of the body, were
filed with the president about 10
days ago. Mr. Harrison, in replying
to the charges, alleged that the other
members of the commission, particu
larly Commissioner General Qollier,
had not conducted the affairs of the
body along economical lines. He
filed with the president, it was un
derstood, a series of charges against
Mr. Collier and those members who
joined with the commissioner gen
eral in demanding his resignation. All
the charges were referred to the
State department for study.
Mr. Harrison's resignation was
presented to thepresident along with
the charges he filed.
Inquiry at Mr. Harrison's home
here brought forth the information
that the former commissioner was
en route to California and would not
return to Washington-
