Indications Are Measure
Will Pass Chamber
Tomorrow.
BY 3. A. O’LEARY.
The Senate was to begin today con
“■ aiderstlon of the Vinson-Guffey bill
'■■to stabilize prices In the bituminous
coal industry, with indications the
■'■■ measure will pass by tomorrow.
■: Senator Guffey, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania. Is scheduled to launch
■' the debate on the bill this afternoon,
""following Senator Wagner’s discussion
of present-day labor problems.
v Although the labor provisions on
; which the Supreme Court invalidated
»-the original Guffey coal act of 1935
. had to be eliminated in revising the
measure, supporters of the bill believe
. the remaining prjce-flxing features
will go far toward improving future
working conditions among the miners.
Conferences are under way in New
York now seeking to work out a re
newal of the expiring labor agreement
_ between the operators and representa
tives of several hundred thousand
"miners.
Senate Approval Expected.
The bill passed the House March 11,
and is expected to receive Senate ap
1 proval, with amendments. In bringing
the measure out at this session, the
House Ways and Means Committee
recalled that when the 1935 act was
being considered, counsel for the mine
••workers stated that even if the labor
--provisions of that law failed to stand
s up. the workers still wanted the rest
of the control act because "it stabilizes
—Lhe industry." The new measure has
been drafted to meet the constitu
tional requirement.
£ In report! g the measure a few days
■^fcgo, the Senate Interstate Commerce
’^Committee pointed out that the prob
.;iems and afflictions of the soft-coal
industry have been the subject of a
score of congressional inquiries during
_3he last 24 years.
In stressing the need for the legis
lation, the committee declared the
^condition of the industry has been
-caused by overdevelopment, resulting
"'in overproduction, which, in turn,
has led to a bitter struggle for markets
and merciless competition.
The wage earners in the industry
have been the "outstanding victims"
of the competitive warfare, the com
__ m it tee reported, because labor consti
tutes 60 per cent of the total cost of
production and is practically the only
flexible cost factor.
The bill sets up a national bi
tuminous coal commission, with power
to establish minimum prices, on
the recommendation of boards to be
"set up in different parts of the coun
— try. The coal-producing areas would
be divided into 23 districts, with a
board for each district.
Excise Tax Provided For.
An excise tax of one-half of 1 per
cent on the sales price is provided
for, which will raise more than suffi
cient revenue to meet the cost of
administering the eontrol plan. In
order to make the control plan ef
fective, the bill would impose an addi
tional tax of 19 Vi per cent of the sales
price or market value at the mines
pn any coal produced or distributed
in violation of the minimum price
regulations and fair-trade practices.
Senator Davis, Republican, of Penn
sylvania indorsed the bill in an open
ing speech late yesterday. In which
he stressed his belief that the per
sonnel of the proposed commission will
be an important factor in determining
the success of the control plan.
"I favor this bill," said Davis, "be
cause I believe it necessary that the
Nation shall now choose whether we
assist the coal industry to organize
Itself through the regulation of a pow
erful commission or allow it to become
the stage for riots, lawlessness and
labor disturbances such as this coun
try has not known in many years.”
Leader in Father
Divine Movement
Accused hy Girl
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 31.—The
United States district attorney’s office
has issued a complaint accusing John
W. Hunt, 33, a leader in the Father
Divine movement, of violating the
Mann act by bringing 17-year-old
Delight Jewett from Denver to his
pretentious Beverly Hills home.
Until the case is taken before the
grand jury, probably today, authori
ties were reticent about details. In
vestigators who would not be quoted
by name for the present said, however,
the girl asserted Hunt told her in
Denver she had been designated as the
new Virgin Mary and Beverly Hills
was to become the new Bethlehem.
Hunt and two other white followers
of Father Divine, colored religious
leader, were convicted last Fall of dis
turbing the peace with noisy meetings
at the Hunt home. Among the com
plaining witnesses were Lionel Barry
more, film actor, and Mrs. Jan
Garber, orchestra leader's wife.

JAPANESE CRISIS
FORCED BY ARMY
Parliament Dissolved in De
fense Row and New Elec
tion Necessary.
Bt the Associated Press.
TOKIO, March 31.—The Japanese
Army, charging leaders of major
political parties with obstructing
"vital” laws for national defense, forced
the dissolution of Parliament today
and threw the empire into a new
political crisis.
The dissolution was ordered by Em
peror Hirohlto on the advice of Premier
Senjuro Hayashl and made a general
election, in which charged army domi
nation of the government was expected
to be made an issue, mandatory within
30 days.
The new crisis arose suddenly with
the stormy seventieth session of the
Diet due for only a few more hours
of normal life.
Realising there was no chanoe of
pushing through the bills they con
sidered vital for national defense, the
army leaders, in co-operation with the
navy, brought pressure to bear on the
premier to advise the Emperor to order
the dissolution, affecting the Lower
House.
The demand was presented to Hay
asht by Gen. Sugiyama, the minister
of war, and Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai,
the minister of the navy.
The government announced the new
election would be called April 30 to
choose 466 members for a new House
of Representatives.
A continued state of unrest was
expected to last throughout the month's
campaign, stirred by political leaders’
charges that a fascist-inclined military
clique was attempting to dominate em
pire affairs.
Nearly 40 bills, some, such as the
steel industry control and national
fuel bills considered to be of major
importance, the Army charged, had
been blocked by "a lack of sincerity”
on the part of members of the lower
House which left doubt "whether they
intended to contribute to the welfare
of the empire."
>802,400,000 Budget.
Before they took the drastic action,
however, the Army and Navy had
succeeded in pushing passage of the
record >802,400,000 budget, of which
more than half, or >401,700,000, went
to the Army and Navy.
After the dissolution was ordered,
the Government declared "in order
to overcome the present crisis both at
home and abroad, the Government
and the people must earnestly co
operate.”
Reiterating the Army charges of
"lack of sincerity” and delay of "vital
measures,” the statement added: "In

years she made many valuable docu
mentary contributions to the Library.
Other evidence of her interest in her
famous father-in-law was her dona
tion to the New York Avenue Presby
terian Church of a Lincoln Memorial
Tower dedicated in 1929. President
Lincoln attended that church during
his period in the White House. She
and her husband also gave the picture
of Mrs. Lincoln which hangs In the
Executive Mansion.
Friends declare her to have been a
very handsome and brilliant young
woman.
c-oming 10 wasningion at an eariy
age with her father, who was in the
Senate during the Lincoln and John
son administrations, she met Robert
Lincoln during the early part of his
father's first administration. They
were married in 1868 at Senator Har
lan's home near Seventeenth and H
streets.
Young Lincoln served on the staff of
Gen. Grant during the Civil War and
later was Secretary of War under
Presidents Garfield and Arthur. He
was one of the last Ministers to Eng
land in the administration of Benja
min Harrison, whose wife was a very
old friend of Mrs. Lincoln.
While in England, Mr. and Mrs.
Lincoln lost their son, Abraham Lin
coln, 2d.
Robert Lincoln had the unusual
experience of being present at three
presidential assassinations. He was
in Ford’s Theater when Booth mur
dered his father; he arrived at the
station just when Guiteau shot Gar
field and was at the Buffalo Exposition
in 1901 when McKinley was mortally
wounded by the anarchist Czolgosz.
He later refused to attend any presi
dential functions because of the “cer
tain fatality'' when he was present.
Mrs. Lincoln leaves two daughters,
Mrs. Charles Lsham and Mrs. Robert
J. Randolph, both of this city, and
three grandchildren. Funeral services
will be private, with burial in Ar
lington National Cemetery.
Roman General Still Popular.
Cal us Marius, the famous Roman
general who died in 86 B.C., is still

Difference of 50 Cents in
Daily Rate Reported Bar
ring New Contracts.
By tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 31.—A differ
ence of 50 cents between what soft
coal miners want and what the opera
tors want to pay them dally was the
chief barrier today to peace in the
industry, confronted with the possi
bility of a stoppage in operations.
When representatives of both sides
in weelcs-long conversations on the
subject of a new contract entered a
conference room this morning, some
400,000 miners began their last day
of work under an agreement expir
ing tonight.
Thursday is a miners’ holiday.
Protracted sessions are the rule In
parleys over new contracts in the
coal Industry, and today's was ex
pected to last far into the night to
climax work over a table top where
miners' and operators' pencils began
scratching February 17.
Difference Over Wages.
Essentially, the only difference be
tween the two sides lay in the miners’
insistence on a 16 basic daily pay
and the operators’ demand that the
current rate of »5.50 be renewed.
Payment for overtime was another
issue to be decided, but major stum
bling blocks to complete accord were
removed yesterday with withdrawal
of demands by the miners for vaca
tions with pay, a work guarantee and
a work week of 30 hours.
Remaining on the Job to lend as
sistance if he could was Edward F.
McGrady, chief assistant to Secretary
Perkins in arbitrating labor disputes
and known to official Washington as
the administration ’’trouble shooter’’
in labor contract circles.
Roosevelt Intervention Possible.
Intervention of President Roosevelt
himself was considered possible if a
strike threatened in the vaat soft coal
fields. He lent his assistance in 1935
when an orderly, brief walk-out oc
curred.
Matters have been considerably sim
plified for the joint committee of
miners and operators now charged
with the duty of reaching an agree
ment if possible. In February the
miners demanded a cut in the work
week from 35 to 30 hours, a 15-per
cent pay increase, two weeks' vaca
tion and a guarantee of 200 days of
work each year.
They also asked time and a half
for overtime.
Only the two demands—the in
crease in pay and the extra com
pensation for overtime—remained.
Demand of Operators.
The operators, for their part, had
demanded a boost of 5 hours in the
length of the work week, with no in
crease in pay.
It was learned that John L. Lewis,
miners' chief, had shaved down his
requests because he felt the new
Guffey coal control bill would not
be in effect soon enough to allow the
operators to cover them.
The proposed agreement would
cover all mines in the great Appala
chian fields, reaching from Central
Pennsylvania to Northern Tennessee
and producing about two-third* of
the country’s soft coal. Other soft
coal wage scales are based on the
Appalachian agreement.

of order under House rules, and mem
bers of the District Committee may
raise the points against them when
the measure is considered in the
House.
Prior to the executive session the
committee favorably reported a bill to
make illegal the use of slugs or for
eign coins in telephone pay stations or
any legal merchandise vending ma
chine. as well as three measures au
thorising issuance of licenses to prac
tice the healing art to Drs, Frederick
W. Didlier, William Hollister of New
Bern, N. C and William Justin Olds,
Front Royal. Va.
The bill to make use of slugs and
foreign coins illegal was sponsored by
the Chesapeake St Potomac Telephone
Co., whose officials reported loss of
thousands of dollars a year in the Dis
trict by such practice. The losses, it
was said, jumped from $14,400 in
1933 to $37,998 last year.
Thomas Watches Events.
Chairman Thomas of the Senate
subcommittee on District appropria
tions, said today he would keep an
open mind on the detailed Items in the
1938 supply bill until it passes the
House and reaches his committee. He
also is withholding comment until that
time on the score of limitations and
legislative riders the House committee
placed in the bill.
Local citlaens will be given ample
opportunity to be heard on any pro
posed increases or decreases in spe
cific items when the bill reaches the
Senate. Thomas said. He previously
had announced in a recent speech that
he personally thought the Federal
payment would remain at the present
lump figure of $5,000,000 for another
year. As to the new taxes, that would
have to be applied to District residents
to make up the deficit under the
House bill, Thomas said that would
be a problem for the legislative com
mittees of Con tress
Weight Tax far Cars.
Four of the tax bills are patterned
after those which have been spon
sored for the last five years by Rep
resentative Mapes, Republican, of
Michigan. One provides for a weight
tax on motor vehicles, another a
2-cent increase in the gasoline tax,
a third an income tax as a substi
tute for the present levy on intangi
ble personal property, and the fourth
an inheritance tax.
The other five bills, it was reported,
will:
Prescribe a franchise tax on the
capital and surplus stock of corpora
tions.
Place a premium tax on insurance
policies.
Impose a gross receipts tax on
theaters and other amusement places.
Require automobile parking lot
owners to pay a privilege tax.
Revise upward and make uniform
existing taxes on public utility cor
porations. «
The four Mapes tax increase bills
were reintroduced shortly after the
new Congress convened and are now
pending before a special subcommit
tee of the House District Committee
created to consider special features
of the now discarded Jacobs fiscal
relations plan. Chairman Collins of
the Appropriations Subcommittee
said he planned to reintroduce similar
measures, as well as the five others,
largely as a psychological move to
give support to the Mapes bills and
to Indicate to the House the desira
bility of revising the District tax
structure.
In its report on the appropriation
bill Collins' subcommittee declared
the entire tax structure is “decidedly
weak and fails to produce nearly the
revenue of a modern tax system."
Millions of dollars, the report said,
are lost annually because of this
condition.
Real estate Is one of the tew sources
of revenue that escapes an additional
burden under the subcommittee’s tax
program. In fact, the appropriation
bill carries a legislative rider specifi
cally forbidding the Commissioners
from raising the existing *1.50 levy.
By preventing an increase In the
real estate tax rate the subcommittee
agreed with the Jacobs report that
this source of revenue already is
carrying too heavy a load.
The House tomorrow will begin con
sideration of the appropriation bill,
which carries a total of *45,22* ,C24,
of which the Federal Government
would pay (5.000,000. the same amount
It did for the current fiscal year.
House leaders predict passage of the
measure Friday.
BELLOC ADVANCES
WARNING TO WORLD
Lauds Chesterton's Fight for
Catholicism—English An
tagonism Reviewed.
Combining a tribute to hi* old
friend, Gilbert K. Chesterton, with a
warning to the civilized nations. Hi
laire Belloc last night addressed a dis
tinguished group at Holy Trinity au
ditorium on what he termed a message
from a Catholic to Catholics.
Reviewing the history of English
antagonism to Catholicism, the his
torian referred to Chesterton as a true
and typical Englishman who took up
the fight for Catholicism late in life,
after his reputation had been firmly
established.
"Otherwise,” Belloc said, "he would
have suffered extinction.”
An important part of his address was
devoted to a resume of Chesterton’s
personality and literary qualities.
"Much of Chesterton's strength," he
pointed out, "lay in his ability to
write epigrams. The English mind 1s
fond of these. He was a master of
parallelism. Above all, G. K. C. had
the feeling of fellowship, which is
truly English. Though he fought well,
he did not like lighting as such. He
left the feeling of gently criticizing a
friend rathter than of battling an
enemy.”
Belloc concluded with a statement
that the rise of civilization in the
modern world depends on its accept
ance of Catholicism, not necessarily
adherenoe to the Church of Rome, but
the adoption of the broad culture of
Catholicism. Otherwise, he warned,
civilisation must go down.

Wims Wants Money Due for
Conviction of Slayer of
Horace Waters.
By * Stan Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md„ March 31 —
Application for a *1,000 reward offered
by the Montgomery County Board of
Commissioners for Information leading
to the conviction of the murderer of
Horace D. Waters, storekeeper of
Germantown, in a holdup in January.
1932, was made before the board
yesterday.
The Claimant was George Elmer
Wims, colored, who is now serving a
term for robbery in the Maryland Pen
itentiary, according to Chief William
Garrett of the Montgomery County
police.
In a statement supporting Wims’
claim, Chief Garrett explained that
the first information regarding Donald
Parker, colored, who was convicted of
the murder last November, came from
Wims, who was in the penitentiary
at that time and wrote to him regard
ing Parker’s participation in the hold
up. The reward was posted shortly
after the slaying of Waters, January
13. 1932.
According to Chief Garrett, it was
Wims’ prowess as a base ball player
that led to his securing the informa
tion. During a base ball game at the
penitentiary, Wims, who had played
on several semi-professional colored
teams in this section, scored runners
with an extra base hit and was being
cheered loudly as "Montgomery,” his
nickname taken from his home county.
Learning that Wims came from this
county, another inmate of the peniten
tiary mentioned Parker’s part in a
fatal shooting of Waters Wims al
most four years after the shooting
occurred, passed the Information along
to Chief Garrett, according to the
reports.
The commissioners turned the mat
ter over to Albert M Bouic, counsel
for the board, for a recommendation,
deferring action until next meeting
Alumni Dance Friday.
The annual Gonzaga Alumni Associa
tion dance will be held at the Ward
man Park Hotel Friday night. April 9
Proceeds will go to the Gonzaga schol
arship fund.
