TOBACCO COMPANIES MADE PRICE FIXING
AGREEMENTS, CHARGE
(Bv Associated f-reas) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. The American Tobacco company and the Chicago Tobacco Jobbers' association have been cited to appear before the
federal trade commission and answer charges involving alleged price fixing agreements. No date for the hearing was announced, though the respondents were allowed 30 days to file answer to the citations. The Chicago Tobacco Jobbers' association, according to the commission's complaint, is a corporation consisting of Chicago tobacco jobbers, who deal in a large part of the product? of the American Tobacco company. Members of the association, it was charged, entered into v an agreement among themselves to fix uniform
prices at which tobacco products han
dled by them should be sojd, --and further, the association, it was alleged, refused to sell such products to subjobbers and retailers who had not agreed to sell at such fixed prices.
Such ; agreements, the complaint
averred, were entered into at the su

(Bv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. Preslden: Harding in a message tomorrow to congress will present to th6 federal legislators and to the country th3 position of the government wi'h respect to the industrial troubles, particularly the railroad strike. Arrangements for the president's appearance at the jojint session tomorrow of the senate and bouse wer1' completed at the . White House today at a conference between the executive and Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, Republican leader of the senate. Belief has been expressed in some quarters that the president might, delay the presentation of the message until after it had been determined whether the mediation efforts of tho train service brotherhood chiefs in tomorrow's conference with a commiitee of railroad executives would bo successful or result in failure, but Senator Lodge said that the president fully intended to go before congress at the earliest possible moment. The time that the president will appear was not decided today and may not be until tomorrow. Meanwhile -rail union leaders in Washington continued in session preparing for the conference which broth
erhood chiefs have obtained from the Association of Railway Executives in New York tomorrow. Advise Men To Return. In the meantime heads of the four brotherhood organizations kept up their efforts to relieve the situation created in the west by unauthorized walkouts of train service operatives and in addition to messages advising the men to return to work union representatives were being sent to various points for personal investigation.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 16 The conference of anthracite miners and operators which was to have been held here today as a result of the mediation of President Harding, was postponed yesterday until tomorrow, at the request of John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of
America. ! Brighter prospects for peace in both anthracite and bituminous fields were seen today in some circles as a result of the postponement. It was declared by persons in close touch with the op
erators that deferring the meeting was solely for the purpose of effecting a lasting settlement at the bituminous, conference at Cleveland, while others pointed out ts significant the agreement of the miners to hold the meeting with the operators in the offices of S. D. Warriner, president of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, and head of the operators committee, instead of on neutral ground. Tho conference was postponed upon receipt by Mr. Warriner, of the following telegram from Lewis:

Other late day developments yesterday continued to be discussed today. These included the approval by the president of the Interstate Commerce
commission's determination for strict enforcement safety laws on the railroads and the statement that the department of - justice is investigating activites of Industrial Workers of the World in the far west rail strikes and of disorders in Kentucky. CHICAGO, Aug. 16. Transportation tie-ups in the far west began to unravel today as rail heads and union leaders looked toward direct negotiations for ending the strike of rail shop craft employes. Railroad executives here were pessimistic, however, over the success of peace parleys proposed by leaders of the non-striking , unions, in whose hands the shop crafts placed their case. ' Rejection by the unions of President Harding's proposals for ending the strike, rail heads declared, all but broke their faith in the success of tho suggested conference, but despite the lack of confidence executives of the western roads approved acceptance of
the proposals to meet the unions in New York tomorrow. Conditions Critical. Although conditions on roads in th3 far west were relieved by breaks in the strike of train crews, the general situation remained In the critical stage it reached many days ago and President Harding's next expected move was to lay the whole industrial crisis before congress.

that they might prove unavailing in many cases."

Explaining the impossibility of bringing civil suits in one judicial district where-the defendants in one case would be scattered over many districts unless they voluntarily appeared, the Attorney General asked that present conditions as to jurisdiction be relieved and the laws be amended with reference to the summoning of witnesses in civil cases, so that they might be generally the same as with respect to summoning witnesses in civil cases under the anti-trust acts.
