Consideration of Hard Coal Scale Report Is Deferred Wilkcsharre, Pa., Sept. 8 Consid eration of the scale committee's re port had to be deferred by the tri clistrict convention of anthracite mine workers yesterday afternoon be cause more than SO per cent of the delegates were unable to find seats in the hall. The trouble was due to the fact that the accredited delegates had not been supplied with identification tags and the sergeant-at-arms and his as sistant were baffled in their attempts to clear the hall.

Nebraskan Hits Snag in Corrupt Practices Fislit Andrew Meets Opposition in Attempt to Kevhiiat t Law Declared Invalid in Newberry Case. Washington Sept, ft. (Special Ttlcgram,) Chairman Andrews , of Nebraska, chairman of the house committee on election of president, vice president and representatives in congress, ran against snag yester day when he attempted to secure ac tion on new corrupt practices act to lake the place of the act declared invalid by the supreme court deeis ion in the Newberry case. The Ne braska representative, author of, the bill, which aims to re-cnart-the law, endeavored to secure action by his committee, but found that absentism had removed all but a handful of members. Plans for a meeting of the committee were abandoned, but Mr. Andrews declared he will try again next week, when he hopes the cail issued by Republican Whip Kniidon to have members here by Monday will make action possible. "We shall try to write a new law," said Representative Andrews, "so it will apply to this election. I believe we will have little difficulty in pass ing one, onee we can get the matter before the house." He approves the senate bill which in reality follows the plan previous ly outlined by Mr. Andrews for such legislation. Inasmuch as the supreme court held that congress could not require expenses of primaries, the new legis lation is to apply only to election. The nw law covers primaries without saying so. It contemplates that before and after elections can didates shall report receipts and ex penditures from the time they an nounced their candidacy. This, of course, embraces the primaries or nominating conventions as well as the elections. Leaders will be asked to grant a special rule for action on the cor rupt practices legislation withirf the next week or two. Representative Andrews proposes to substitute the house bill whici he has introduced for the senate bill, the two measures being identical, al most and leave the senate enacting clause so action can be prompt.
