ed, cannot hope to maintain its agricul

MOST IMPORTANT MEETING
OF FARMERS IN HISTORY.
CHICAGO, April (!. The ratification
conference on the cooperative grain
marketing plan submitted by the Farm
ers' Marketing Committee of Seventeen,
assembled here today for "the most im
portant molding of farmers that the his
tory of our country or any other country
lias rrer recorded," in the words of C.
H. Gustafson, chairman of the commit
tee.
Details of the plan prepared during
nearly a year of conferences to mark, t
the mnjority of the farm products of the
country under the most favorable price
conditions were submitted to represciita
fives of the various farm organizations
behind the proposal.
"The plan provides purely and simply
for the farmer to enter upon a program
of conducting his own business of mar
keling," saiil, Mr. Gustafson. "It is
purely a co-operative plan offered in
competition with existing unsatisfactory
methods of marketing. We believe,
that, while recognizing and protecting
the rights of the consuming public, it in
sures the farmer an equitable and just
return on his grain crops by effecting
savings, avoiding s-culat ion, preventing
needless duplication of effort and event
ually siauiiizmg the market lor grain
crops. "
The plan proposed bv the committee
of 17 an a basis of action called for far-
niers to contract for the sale of all their ?
grain as members of the national coop
erative organization. Several ways of ;
disposing of the grain were offered. The'
principal one was for a national pool.
Machinrry for handling the enormous
quantities of grain anticipated, if a na
tional pOol conducted by the farmers of
the country went into effist, was out
lined. This consisted in part of nation
al agencies for finance and for exKrt.

LONDON', April li. - Decision to sup
pert the lltilis'i miners iu their strike
was reached by the Transport Workers'
Federation at a meeting held here this
, morning.
The vote taken was unanimously in
j favor of lending aid lo the miners. It
I was decided to me. t in con f. reie-e imnie

' At the conclusion ,,f the conference,

"On rccomiiiciidation from the execii

ci.hd to give all assistance in our power
t whatever extent necessary to help the

The executive

The National Union of Railwaymen
held a conference this morning and a I

ATTITUDE OF "TRIPLE
ALLIANCE" MAY SETTLE
BRITISH MINERS' STRIKE
Hope For Peaceful Solution of
Difficulty Is Not Abandoned
Hartshorn Says Lloyd
George Has Banged Door
Against Agreement.
LONDON', April (i. Members of the ,
miners' union, the National Union of,
Kailwaymen and the Transport Workers' I
Federation held separate meetings hero j
today, intending later to meet in joint j
session to determine the attitude of the j
"triple alliance" toward supporting the j
strike of Uritish miners. There were
growing indications this morning that an '
agreement might not ho reached by these I
organizations. It was confidently slated1

port to the miners.
Hope for a peaceful solution of the
i.ilmitte.lly serious situation before the
country was declared today not to have
been abandoned in responsible quarters.
Vernon Hartshorn, member of the house
of commons, and leader of the miners'
union, took a pessimistic view of the sit
nation last night.
"I'riin,. Minister Lloyd George," he
declared, "has banged the door airainst
.'.ii agreement. There will be no meeting
ol the miners and the owners on the line
he has suggested.''
The general tone of yesterday's debate
in the hous,. of commons, however, was'
interpreted here as suggesting that the,
government and the men directly in-j
vnlve.l in the strike wer,. trying to find a '
way to bridge the gulf. The Maily Mail:
said today that if the government would
resume control of the mines for a limited I
period and would help th, owners and I
the miiiers in arriving at some reason
able plan for unifying the admittedly i
essential wage cutM throughout the conn I
try, the threatened industrial paralysis
. ouh I yet be averted. I
'What the railway men, miners and'
all work-is refuse to accept without a
kick." said ( '. T. frump, president of
Ihe rnilwn.i nun'., union, to the Itailyl
Mail, "is a reduction of their standards
of life to a level below that enjoyed in
1!H 1."

Discussing the sil uat ion confronted by
. the mining industry, Finlay Gibson, sec
retary of the South Wales Coal Owners'
1 Association, declares the amount expend
ed on wages alone during January and
February was greater than the total pro- I
i.e. Is of the industry. Not hw it hsta ml j

The aggregate loss, he points out, was,

loss of seventeen shillings and one pence

An effort to bring the miners and the
employers together again was made by
Mr. Lloyd George, the prime minister
this afternoon. It was announced he :
had written to the president of the mill
ing assoi iat ion and the secretary of the
miners lederat ion, asking them to meet
and resume negotiations.
The prime minister's letters called at
t.'iilion to his speech in the house of
commons with regard to the desirability
of the negotiations being resumed, and
com bided :
"I desire lo repeat that the govern

ineiit as American ambassador to France,
a post he tilled under President Taft anil
which he occupied at the beginning of
the world war. Mr. Ilerrick 's formul
nomination will be made soon and he
will go to France in the earlv summer.
Mr. Herrick, it is understood, was
of
fi red the post some time ago by I'reai
dint Harding but, his friends say, was
riluctant to accept it because he felt he
should devote the remainder of his life
to personal affairs.
Since ho left the diplomatic service,
Mr. Herrick has sustained personal mis
fortune, which included tho death of
his wife ami son, ami more recently was
ill himself and went to the Hawaiian
islands in search of health. The princi
pal trouble was an infection in one of
his eyes, which, however, has now been
cleared up. Hesides that, Mr. Herrick 's
1 1 lends point out, he has become inter
ested in business ventures which ho felt
demanded his attention.
Although President Harding's mind
turned to Mr. Herrick when he began to
think of filling the Paris (lost, word came
lo Washington from Franco that the se
lection of the former ambassador for his
old post would bo received there with
gratification among the government and
the people. There was nothing official

The former ambassador has been con - j

has only just given his acceptance. He j
has told friends ho feels that in as much j
as his own government and such public

(By the Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. April . Three deli
ii te recommeiulations to President Hard
ing had been agreed upon today by the
i special commission investigating the cure
and treatment of dsabled service men.
They were;
A centralized governmental authority
to have entire charge of all federal
agencies having to do with soldier relief
wot k.
A decentralize. I administration of ser
vice, carrying federal aid as near as pos
sible to the homes of the soldiers
throughout the country.
A retjiiest for additional appropria
tions for hospitals, including a periua
nenl building program.
Charles li. l'awes, of Chicago, chair
man of the commission, said ho would be
greatly disappointed if the public inves
tigation wan not concluded today.
"We wll begin work on the report to
night in executive session.'' he said.
Colonel F. W. Calbraith, Jr., national
commander of the American Legion, ex
pressed pleasure at the progress unrt ,'
conclusions which th( coiiimissiou had j
reached. He said the three most impor '
taut decisions conformed to the Ameri :

Colonel Cholmeley Jones, former head era!, Secretary Weeks sai l to.lav. The
of the war risk bureau, testified that the ; relief of Oeneral Edward-, from coui
work of the bureau was steadily increas mnnd of his division while it was at the
ing. front was the subject of nn inquiry in
"New claims are coming in in excess 'he senate in lpls by Mr. Weeks, who

Colonel Galhraith said man' ex service
men in need of assistance were unaware
of lienefits the government o.Tered them
and suggested a war risk bureau census

posts. The legion's service bureau could
