WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Govern-

They believe coal barons are in

government for(the separation Of the

riers from the coal properties" said
Van III. Manning. director of the bu-

II do not say that the government
suit is tho reason for the advance in
prices Of hard &C al, but the interested
roads are fighting the government
energetioally, and this costs money.
1.-THE soft coal system is different.
The Illinois soft coal mines are sub
jected to- fierce competition from the
Pittsburgh field. The soft coal oper-
ators there have been petitioning for
a freight rate adjustment to permit
them to meet this competition, and
the matter is before the federal trade
commission and the interstate COM

'"This competition should bring
down the price of soft coal in the
middle west, even IL the federal trade
commission should permit the COM

FOR CONFEREES

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. H.
Agreement for the protection of the
Mexican-American border was prac.
tically assured today. All proposals OF
ways and means submitted by the
commission representing both coun.
tries were under consideration at to
days joint session and from a source
close to both commissions it was
learned that modification including
the best features of two border pro-
lection plans is most likely to be
recommended.
Unless Major General Bliss state.
ments are strongly against the plan,
it is likely that coincident with the
withdrawal of the Pershing column an
agreement will be approved by the
American and Carranze governments
to guard the border with an equal
number Of the troops Of both coun-
tries, with joint permission to cross
the border in active pursuit of bandits,
the troops to be stationed somewhat
back from the border line on each
side.
The need of financing Mexico is still
the foremost consideration with the
Mexican contingent. They are per-
fecting three plans for securing
money These plans are:

American bankers and sold by them
