OPERATORS TO MEET
TO-DAY IN CLEVELAND
All Efforts Will Be Made to
Halt Coal Price Jumps.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30.-It was announced
to-day at the office of Thomas T. Brew
ster. head of the coal operators scale
committee, that meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the coal operators
of the central competitive field would be
held in Cleveland tomorrow.
Mr.. Brewster said that he had re-
ceived no notification Of any sort from
Secretary of Labor Wilson relative to
another meeting between the Operators
and miners, such as the telegram of
John L. Lewis to Secretary Wilson in
dicated had been sent to the labor
leader.
The operators will use all their power
to prevent any Individual among them
from increasing the price of COAL ac-
cording to statement made by Mr..
Brewster. He contended that SO far at
tempts to boost the price of coal have
been few.
After the withdrawal of the price
control, the prices of the higher grades
advanced slightly andtthe lower grades
declined considerably. and the general
average of prices are below those in
effect at the time the price control was
withdrawn said Mr.. Brewster. THE
appointment of the fair price commit
tees in the various States will have a
restraining influence on prices"
Mr.. Brewster made his statement In
answer to information that the miners
had charged that the operators had
been permitted to increase coal prices,
although the war time wage agreement
was held to be still binding. He added |;
II think that President Wilson's pro-
posed proclamation placing a maximum
price on coal will put complete stop to
