WILL BE NO TROUBLE
 OVER BITUMINOUS COAL
Secretary Bakers Regulation Will Not
 Affect the Agreement.

Washington, July 2.-Repudiation by Secretary Baker, it was announced to- day at the offices of the defense coun- cil's coal production committee, will not affect the agreement between pro- ducers and government officials for the reduction of bituminous coal prices.
 The general price at the mines of S3 ton to the public with a 50 cent reduction government purchases will stand until a final figure is set.
 The threatened trouble in the cab inet over Secretary Bakers action ap- parently vanished today though the question it has brought sharply to the front the policy the government will pursue in dealing with business, is still a matter to be settled. Secretaries Lane and Baker lunched together to- day in a downtown hotel and it is the incident was discussed and that there is no ill-felipg over t. Earlier in the day Secretary Baker is- sued a statement denying that there were any differences of opinion be- tween Secretary Lane and himself. He said his letter to Director Clifford, of the council of national defense, dis approving the agreement, was written to prevent a popular misconception Of what was going on in the coal situa- ton and to make clear that so far as the government was concerned no price would be fixed until production costs were determined by the federal .rade commission.

GOVERNM ENT IS TO INSURE
 COUNTRY'S FIGHTING FORCES Legislation Giving That Power is to be Asked by the Administration.

Washington. July 2.-Issuance by the government itself of the insur- ance that is to be given to every man in the countrys fighting forces was approved today by more than a hun dred prominent insurance company officials in conference at the treasury department. Legislat tion to carry such a plan into effect will be asked of congress at this session by the ad- miniStration.
 Creation of a bureau of service in surance or extension to undertake the work probably will be proposed
 Many of the companies represented offered the use of their machinery for handling the governments insurance business. Most of them suggested that the government should guarantee a limited indemnity, and permit indi Viduals in the service to carry fur ther insurance in private companies
 The bill providing for establish ment of federal insurance probably will ask for a system compa rable to the present workmen's compensation law

CONSPIRACY AGAINST SHIPPING
 ON THE GREAT LAKES
Disclosed By Secret Investigation by
 Government Agents.

Washington, July 2.-Secret investi- gation by government agents has dis closed the existence of a great conspir- acy to destroy or hinder shipping on the Great Lakes and thereby delay or ganiza tion of American war armies and check the flow of food and munitions materials from the western states to the Atlantic coast.
 No conspirat tors have been captured and the identity of none has been made public. but it was learned today that the state, navy and justice de- partments are cooperating to brin g the offenders to punishment, and that the Canadian government probably will be called upon to help.
 This plot engineered by Germans as sisted by sympa thizing American cit izens, is believed to have been respon- sible for the succession of accidents" to lake shipping, especially in the neighborhood of the Saulte Ste Marie Canal which began about a month ago.
