POWER TO PREVENT
HIGHER COAL PRICE
Appointment Of Fair Price Com

T. Brewster Says.

ST. LOUIS. oct. aO.-The operators
will use all OF their power to prevent
any individuals among them from

ing TO a statement made by ThomnH
r. brewster. head of the coal oper-
ators scale committee here today.
Mr.. Brewster also stated that so
far AS Is known. the attempt to take
OF the present situation To
boost the price OF coal have been few.
The appointment OF the fair price
committees In the various states Will
have a restraining influence on
prices" he continued. and the
weight OF the opinion OF the operators
will be thrown all against any possib'c
individual attempt 10 charge high
prices.

No Crime To strike.
May I point out 70 you that under

that an individual cannot be punished
for striking s'for the commission OF

The president Of the United States

THE presidents statement OF octo-
