The House adopted the conference report on the $1 billion wheat price bill signed for the White House. Several major appropriations measures were not enacted including army and naval bills, merchant marine, agricultural, and DC appropriations, plus prohibition enforcement, equal suffrage, and anti-red propaganda provisions.

Non-English Speaking Miner Threat Blamed for Mine Safety Risk
Washington March 4. Bureau of Mines chief Van H Manning tells Congress that educating non English speaking foreign born miners under the Americanization bill could save about 60 lives yearly and prevent numerous injuries. He cites high death and injury rates among foreign born miners who cannot read or write their own languages. He notes 620,000 foreign born miners, 75 percent non English speaking, many from non mining countries. He argues the effort will produce safer workers and better citizens while critiquing the apathy of English speaking miners toward safety. He says the danger is the non English speaking foreign born miner who cannot read or write even his own language. He warns the nation must act to protect workers and standards.
