Big COAL CONFERENCE

The Pittsburs Press commenting
editorially on the Coal Operators
Convention, says:
1T is a highly important conference
that is in progress in Pittsburg today
between National Fuel Administrator
Garfield and 1000 or more coal opera
tors representing the principal bi.
luminous producing interests of the
country. DR.. Garfield is here pre-
sumably fer a double purpose. He
comes not only to talk, but to listen.
On his own behalf and that of the
government, he will set forth the gov.
ernments requirements of the coal in
dustry; and on the other hand he will
hear from the operators, IL he gives
them proper opportunity, just what
they think the government must still
do in order to make 1t possible for
the industry to maintain output at tho
desired high level.
Cooperation More promising Than
Coercion.
"There are two difficult problems
that government and operators alike
must deal with, and there is little
promise of success unless the govern
ment is brought to realize fully all the
obstacles that even the most patriotic
operator has to overcome. Let his
loyalty be as unQuestioning as it may,
he must keep expenses somewhere be-
low income if he is to avoid insolv-
ency, and the "trade" is very eager to
know to what extent the power of the
government is to be employed cooper
