Washington.—Bituminous coal oper

it during the last six years, according
to figures submitted to congress by the
federal trade commission.
The trade commission, however, ra>
fused to vouch for the accuracy of
the figures, stating that they were ob
tained partly by the commission’s ef
forts and partly from the national coal
association.
j "Under court injunction since early
1920, the commission has been unable
to require reports on investments,
costs and prices and other matters af<

of price* charged for coal by its mem

HOT IS CAUSEDJY PARADE
Scattered Fights Took Place Between
The Police And The
/ Unemployed.
London.—An attempt by I-ondon’i
unemployed to stage a big parade and
demonstration broke op in a riot direct
ly In front of the Bank of England,
long the symbol of capital.
Aife the marchers neared the famous
old bank, police attempted to head
them off. The unemployed paraders
broke up their marching formation and
a free-for-all fight started. Mounted
police drew their truncheons and
wielded them on the rioters freely. A
number of arrests were mada. ftut the
small number of police on the scene
enabled many to escape who might
otherwise have been arrested..
As soon as the disturbance broke
out, an emergency call was sent out
for all policemen on leave to assist
in restoring order.
Scattered fights took place between
the police and the unemployed. One
of the latter, during a bout with an
officer, threw a brick, but it missed
its target and went through a plate
glass window of the American Pioneer
Leather company.
Police were ou the lookout for a re
newal of the disorders.

Detroit—A strike vote was ordered
by the executive council of tbe Unit
ed Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Railway Shop Labor
ers here, in answer to the wage slash
made by the railway labor board.
Declaring that a cut of 13.2 per cent
in their wages did not parallel a 3
per oent reduction in living costs, the
council asked that the men, 400,000 in
all, vote on a strike protest.
The slash In wages made by the la
bor board at Chicago came as a com
plete surprise to the council, which was
in session here on routine business.
Discussion of the order resulted In an
order by Edward F. Grable, president of
the union, that the decision for a
strike vote be held over until the ar
rival of the official notices of the re
ductions.
Grable, however, stated at the time
he was confident that the strike vote
would be ordered, terming the slash
"both unjust and unfair."
Chicago.—A virtual ultimatum to the
railroads of America, through the
United States railroad labor board was
presented by the Federation of Shop
Crafts, representing 400,000 rellwsy
employees, in a request for * confer-
ence with the board, when the federal
body will be ask to take Immediate
Jurisdiction of all cases in which rail
roads are alleged to be disobeying the
board’s orders.
If tbe board declines, a strike bal
lot will go oat at one* to shopmen all
