OPERATORS May
APPROVE PRICES

WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.-Federal
control Of the country's coal industry
was again today the subject OF discus
sion by the directors of the National
Coal association.
Prospects were that an announce
ment that President Wilson's price
scale will be accepted without protest
would be forthcoming before the day
is over.
The operators are divided into two
groups, one counseling acceptance of
the government fixed prices and the
other urging that the case be taken to
the courts. Efforts of the first group
are being directed toward winning the
others over to it's side.

RUSSIAN CHURCH
RULERS ELECTED

PETROGRAD, Aug. 3O-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)-
A decision for or against the continu-
ed union Of Church and State under
the new provisional government will
be decided during the coming months.
An Oecumenical Congress of the
Russo-Greek Orthodox Church will
meet in the fall or the early winter,
and at probably the same time there
will take place gathering Of the lay
Constituent Assembly, which with or
without the consent of the Document
ca Congress may reach its own con-
illusions as to whether State and
Church shall separate.
In preparation for the Oecumenical
Congress, procuror Of the Holy Synod
Lvoff has convoked "Pre-Congress
Council with the function Of prepar-
ing reform projects to be laid before
the Congress. In the Council Will sit
representatives Of the Holy Synod,
seven bishops, and delegates from the
Congress OF Clergy and Laymen,"
which, to the number of more than
1000. already has sat at Moscow: to-
gether with prominent monks, digni-
taries Of the Church Of Georgia and
representatives Of the Orthodox Sec
tarians.
The Pre-Congress Council will draft
law regulating election to the Con-
gress. 1t will prepare bills for recon-
structing the Synod, reorganizing
Church government in Finland and
Georgia. and reforming the ecclesias.
teal Courts. These and other bills
will be submitted to the Oecumenical
Congress.
Meanwhile the provisional reform of
the Orthodox Church is proceeding
The principle of election Of church dig
nltaries is in force. Among the high
est dignitaries thus far elected by vote
of clergy and laymen is Benjamin,
Bishop of Gdovsk, who is now titular
Bishop of Petrograd and Metropolitan
of Petrograd. AS candidate of the
mass of the clergy and Of the prohi-
bitionist worhngmen, Benjamin de-
feated to radical Church reformer An
drew, Bishop of Ufa. Benjamin's cleo
tion as Bishop OF Petrograd has been
confirmed; but the Synod has suspend
ed confirmation Of his election as Met
ropolitan on the ground that canonical
law requires that Metropolitan shall
have authority over definitely
bounded district, whereas no metro
politancy Of Petrograd exists. The Pre-
Congress Council will be invited to
create six metropolitancies.
Another reform is the choice of
young clerics for high positions Bish-
op Benjamin is only As; and Bishop
Pachomius Of Tchernigoff, also elected
by popular vote since the Revolution,
is only A.
The aeitation for the reform Of mon
astic life continues. At the Monks
Congress at Moscow, reformers sug-
gested the transformation of all mon
asteries into labor communities. They
complained that in some monasteries
third of the revenue goes for the per-
sonal use of the Father Superior
