that will not compel the operator to sell coal for less than it cost him to mine it. The government and the committee at Washington takes this view also.
 "The Birmingham operators.repr a production of eco tons# and they have agreed to put the new prices into effect on July 1. I am sure that they will all live up to the prices set and I feel sure that the holders of the con- tracts that are based on old prices will be reasonable enough to see that they are going against the nation when they insist on the fullfllment of contracts that will put operators out of business who could be producing coal, and thereby aid in holding the price as low as it is now.
 There is absolutely no doubt but what a scarcity of coal is going to prevail, and the prices are going to be high to the consumer. Consequently. every mine that can be operated should be allowed to run. To do this, equitable prices must pre- vail for the operator as well as the dealer and consumer
 ''The agreement reached at Washing ton was largely for the purpose of elimi- hating the coal pirate, keeping the spec uators fro meetting active and to pre- vent the people from getting hysterical"
 committee of seven operators was named for this district to look into the situation and to see what would be a fair price for operators to receive in lieu of the present contracts that are based upon such low figures, and to see if these con- tracts cannot be readiusted and new con- tracts made that will give the operator a showing. Henry DeBardeleben will be chairman of this committee

 At this conference Chairman F. s.

They expressed their willingness to meet the government on any patriotic plan that was feasible and equitable to all parties concerned.
 This agreement does not mean that coal will not be sold for any less, but it does mean that every operator in the Bir- mingham district will be expected to ob- serve this agreement, and Mr. Davidson stated last night that he was sure that they would, as the association would do it's part to enforce the Agreement.

Wallace Tells of Value
 of Sea Food in Lowering
 High Cost of Living

Montgomery. June 30.-(Special.} } In an appeal to the people of Ala bama John H. Wallace. Jr.. state game and fish commissioner, Saturday urged that immediate attention be given to the states wonderful resource of sea food in the campaign for the reduction of the high cost of living. He declared, that many kinds of fish may be found in the salt waters of Mobile and Bald- win counties which may be pickled dried, canned and placed on the mar ket
 "The people of Alabama possess a wonderful food resource in their fish, ? said Commissioner Wallace. Fish SUD- ply the body with material for build ing it's tissues and also acts as fuel for maintaining it's temperature and furnishing the necessary energy for muscular work. Fish consist of an es- sentially nitrogenous food, closely re- sembling meats. The only difference between fish and meat as food is that fish contain water and meat contains fat.
 Tt is contended by many experts that fish are an equal of beef as q source of energy in diet. ish when dried are richer in nutritive material than fresh fish. From a standpoint of economy, fish which supply an abund ance of protein or energy, are ex- tremely valuable as articles of food It has. been ascertained by scientists that fish and lean beef are equally di : gestible."
