FORD OFFER TO BUY SHOALS IS DEFENDED BY FARM FEDERATION (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Replying to criticism by Senator Harreld, of Oklahoma, and other members of con
gress mat Henry Ford, in nis pro
posed contract for taking over the Muscle Shoals project, does not guarantee to manufacture fertilizer, Gray
Silver, Washington representative of the American Farm Bureau federation, today wrote them, calling attention to Section 15 of the Ford offer, which he quotes as stating that "tho manufacture, sale and distribution of commercial fertilizers constitute oneof the principal considerations of this offer." Mr. Silver declared this the most Important provision in the contract, and one the violation of which pro-
ivides grounds for the institution of
proceedings by the attorney general
to cancel the entire' lease. Points Out Guarantee
"Not only does Mr. Ford guarantee to manufacture fertilizer, but he states
that he will make 40,000 tons of nitrogen, equal to one-fifth, of our total annual consumption in fertilizer, and be will do so with 'the most economical power available, " continues Mr. Silver's letter. "The failure to make 8 per cent profit or the failure, to make any profit, or the inability to manufacture this fertilizer at less than it is sold,, is not a 'cause beyond his control,' and would not give him the right to cease the manufacture of fertilizer. Must Produce Fertilizer. "Mr. Ford's proposal is to 'manufacture nitrogen and other commercial fertilizers, mixed or unmixed, and with or without filler, according to demand. 'Other commercial fertiliz
ers' must include phosphate or potash j

(By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Ohio. Aug.15. Both operators and miners today ratifed an agreement to bring partial settlement of the soft coal strike. Formal signing of the agreement went over until a joint conference late this afternoon. "The mine workers -will go into tOe meeting with the operators prepared to execute a contract," said John L. Lewis, on adjournment of the miner's meeting. The Philadelphia conference of miners with anthracite operators set for tomorrow probably will be delayed until Thnrsday, it being expected that Mr. Lewis and other miner officials will be required to remain here to complete details of the soft coal set
tlement.
Under the agreements, supplemental contracts between the miners' district organizations and operators will be executed and in line with this provision. Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois miners, and John Hessler, president of the Indiana miners, announced they would ask the operators of those states to meet the union representatives in conference next Friday. To Select Commission The Illinois meeting will probably be at Chicago and the Indiana meeting at Terre Haute. All soft coal operators of the country are to be asked under the terms of the agreement to decide upon the selection of an advisorv com
mission which would be approved by the president and its report to be prepared for use in making a new agreement next year, would be filed early ia January. Settlement Provisions In brief the settlement provide that the miners shall be returned tc work at the same scale of wages ihi-.t were in effect when they wont on strike; the new contract Is to con tinue in force until next April 1; the agreement also provides for appointment of an advisory fact-finding commission, a part of its duties being to consider future settlements of disputes in the coal industry. The settlement came after a week spent in marking time here by operators and miners. Finallv the show

Invited Operators Then the conference reorganized and threw the doors open to 3ll soft coal operators. A quick agreement in principle followed, with operators controlling production of 60,000,000 tons annually committed to its adoption. The operators In the meeting have mines in Ohio, West Virginia. Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Michi gan. Orders went forward from three operators here today to their bosses back home to get ready to speed up coal production. Miners, too. were confident that an early resumpMon of work at scattered mines would result in other operators hurrying their acceptance of the agreement. A fundamental change in the union system of collective bargaining wai brought about in the scale - drafted here. The retention of the central competitive field, comprising western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, was the basis of negotiating a contract, but was lost, and in its place a reorganization conference.- representing scattered mines in six states, was set up.

banks to the original borrower did not exceed six percent. A special farm products rate, officials recalled, was in effect in 1915 but was discontinued. Board Officials Differ. Board officials apparently differed as to the advisability of the farm commodity rate being revived under present conditions. Some declared that in view of the present low borrowings from reserve bankers little could be expected under the proposed rate and that the banks probably would not take
advantage of the privilege of redis-, counting farm paper at three and one-'
half percent if required to limit their interest charges to six percent. On the other hand, others asserted that by making a special agricultural rate available farmers in some sections where banks would make the necessary loan would benefit.
