SECRETARY BAKER, AS DEFENSE
COUNCIL HEAD, DECLARES
So is ExoRRirANr.
N0P0WER TO FIX PRICES
SECRETARY OF NAVY DANIELS
WILL BUY FOR GOVERNMENT
AT $2.33 AT MINES.

Washington, July 2.-Secretary oi
War Baker, as president of the Coun
Gil OF National Defense, repudiated
Saturday an agreement fixing a tenta
tive price of sS ton for bituminous
coal reached at conference here
Thursday between coal producers, Sec
retary Lane, member of the Defense
Council, members of the councils coal
preparation committee, and the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Neither the council nor its commit
tees, Secretary Baker said in a letter
to w. S. Clifford Of the council, has
power to fix prices. He added that
the price Of SO at the mines suggested
for bituminous coal is "exorbitant, un.
Just and oppressive"
Secretary Daniels, another member
of the council, earlier in the day said
the agreement would In no way affect
coal purchases for the navy. The navy,
he said. will continue to buy from the
mines at $2.33 ton, leaving q price
to be determined after the Federal
Trade Commission has ascertained
production costs.
In his letter to Mr.. Clifford, Mr..
Baker asserted that he believed no
members Of the Defense Council dis
agree with him as to the limitations
on the powers of the council and its
committees and as to the effect of
the action taken. The fact that the
conferences were attended by mem
bers of the council and OF the trade
commission. he declared. gaze no le-
gality to the agreement.
The price.fixing agreement was
reached after 400 operators called
here by the coal production committee
had adopted resolutions authorizing
their committees to give assent to
such maximum bituminous prices as
might be named by the secretary Of
the interior. the Federal Trade Com
mission and the coal committee.

St Louis. July 3.-In the jail at
East St Louis, 500 ringleaders Of the
mobs that battled, lynched and shot
armed negroes yesterday and last
night are prisoners and the edge Is
are being rushed here and with bay.
onets are clearing the streets. The
fires that brought millions of dollars
In losses are believed under control.
Through the smoking ruins the khaki.
clad boys are prodding here. there and
everywhere, finding bodies of the
blacks. charred and burned in the
flames of their own homes. Perhaps
the total dead will never be known,
but It may reach $50 and might even
go higher.
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women
with babes are there. Medical assist
ance asked for has arrived. 1t Is
thought by tonight all signs of the rot
will be over and quiet restored.
The mobs in East st. Louis were
swelled by hundreds of people who
early in the evening crossed the river
from St. Louis, Mo. This added such
a menace TO the situation that at $3.50
o'clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Five negro sections of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled
from the burning homes only to meet
bullets from the guns of the rioters;
four other negroes We're shot by snip
ers and two were lynched.
One white man was killed by ne.
gro sniper and before the burning be-
gan four negroes and one white man
were killed. This includes the detec-
tive sergeant whose death at the
hands of a negro mob was the direct
cause of the outbreak.
Estimates OF the number OF dead
run up to $50 and higher, but these
estimates are purely conjectural The
exact number slaughtered probably
will never be known, as It is thought
that many bodies were consumed in
the flames.
Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson arrived
and took charge of the situation. He
said troops would be distributed In
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering of persons for
any purpose whatever.
