Perhaps it's true, perhaps it isn't, but the judges are gritting their own teeth, determined to examine the lips of the contestant nymphs even as they might proverbial gift horses.

Fact Finding Bill Called Up. Senator Boran immediately called up the fact-finding bill, the second administration bill to deal with the situation growing out of the coal strike. The Senate was in a fair way to complete action on it when a discussion arose; over the section which called upon the cimmission authorized to Investigate the coal industry to consider the.

advisability of a nationalization of the coal mines. This precipitated a long debate in which Senators Dial. Stahley and Myers charged that it savored of the Senate in a position of 'favoring nationalization, and furthermore, that it was not within the real purposes of the proposed investigation. Senator Borah offered several amendments to his bill to create a fact-finding commission to bring it within the terms of the agreements reached between "the anthracite operators and miners. These were adopted.

One provided that the commission should make a separate report on the hard coal industry and conditions surrounding it. The other- required that this report should be presented to Congress before JuTy 1, 1923. Two Amendments Defeated. Amendments presented by Senator Dial of South Carolina, to have the inquiry made by the Federal Trade Commission and to confine the com mission to not more than three members of one political party, were defeated. His third amendment to eliminate the section indicating sub jects to be considered caused the long discussion which was in progress when the Senate adjourned.

The 'section objected td provides that the commission shall submit recommendations upon standardizing the mines upon the basis of theirs economic productive capacity and regarding the closing down of mines which, by reason of their natural limitations, or other condi tions, fall below the stjfiard.
