PATRIOTIC APPEAL
 MADE 10 COAL MEN
NAVAL SECRETARY DANIELS ASKS THAT UNITED STATES
 BE SUPPLIED.

Washington. = Secretary Daniels told about 300 soft coal operators from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland that they would come for ward and supply coal to the govern ment for war purposes in the same spirit that the men who put on the American uniform offer their ser vices.
 The coal men met with government officials to discuss prices and produc- tion, having been called by the coal production committee of the Council of National Defense
 The army and navy need quan- titles of coal for war operations, See retary Daniels said, and he told the operators that he considered it a privilege rather than sacrifice on their part to supply the coal needed and later adjust the prices to be paid. He said the steel producers had agreed to furnish the government with their entire output, if necessary. and await adjustment of prices.
 It was disclosed that the govern ment needs from three to four million tons of coal in addition to the l,S00,- 900 tons already arranged for.
 Commissioner Colver told the ope- rators that the trade commission ia vored pooling all the coal in the Unit ed States for distribution by the gov ernment to the army and navy, the industries and the people. He said they favored paying the operators the cost of production and fair profit.
