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. .

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 (Tam to Pajre Two, Column One.) Omaha City of Home Ownership . Home ownership is the su preme test of confidence in a city. When a man identifies him self with a city by buying a home he gives proof of his faith in that city. He does more he acquires a personal interest in its develop ment. ; OMAHA is fourth city in home ownership in America. This has been brought about chiefly by the efforts of the members of the Omaha Real Es tate Board, and Omaha's loan and building associations.

UCllcuui Criticised by Norris 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 been put to work down in Alabama, Cripple Shoots Soldier Friend Army Man Wounded in Throat as Pistol Is Being Shown Him.

De Valera Heads Insurgent Band in Dublin Fight 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.
