At e2.s3 At MINES,

Washington, July 2-Secretary Of
War Baker, as president Of the Coun.
Gil Of National Defense. repudiated
Saturday an agreement fixing q tenta.
tive price Of 80 ton for bituminous
coal reached at Q conference here
Thursday between coal producers, Sec.
Rotary Lane, q member of the Defense
Council, members of ME councils coal
preparation committee, and the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Neither the council nor its commit
tees, Secretary Baker said in letter
to w. q. Clifford OF the council. has
power to fix prices. He added that
the price of 80 at the mines suggested
for bituminous coal 10 "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 32.33 . ton. leaving . 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. gave 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.

We would negotiate in a different

Peace must be guaranteed by the
destruction of the Prussian military
power, SO that the German peoples
confidence will repose in their equity.

see that guns were not carried by
those who had no legal authority to
do so. During the week the sheriff
has given considerable personal at
tention to conditions at the mines
and instructed his newly appointed
deputy. T. F. Douglas, to see that
there were no violations of any laws
In one raid a number of guns were
collected and will hereafter be cared
for by the sheriff. Matters nave
