FII[L COMMISSION PLANS To-
/ ACT TO SAVE COAL IN CITY

NO coal dealer Will De allowed 10
sell coal in larger than one ton lots,
Because of this being small delivery
lots, the commission will allow an
additional charge of twenty-five cents
for delivery.
Dealers will not be allowed to
charge any advance price on coal
which has been in transit or which
is held in the yards.
Considering Prices.
This matter of prices rs one which
was being considered this afternoon
at o'clock when the coal dealers Of
Keokuk met with the fuel admins
tration to talk over prices. There
have been some complaints on the
part of some people, but the fuel
commission believes that there has
been a misunderstanding, as the
dealers have remarked that no addi-
tional price should be charged on
coal which has been on the way here.
Yesterday afternoon conference
Of the commission and dealers was
held for the purpose OF trying to
secure a release Of some Of the coat
now in the yards. This can be
affected only through certain chan
nels and with considerable red tape,
1t is believed, from the information
sent out by regional directors of the
railroads Car numbers and other
data were wired OF Des Moines. Ac-
cording to the rules sent out, the
war time priority prevails with re-
tailers fifth on the list preceded by
railroads, federal buildings and insti
tutions, county, city and state insti-
tutions and public utilities.
Must Take Precautions.
Dealers and fuel administration
officials feel that the steps being
taken now will not be temporary for
a week or a day, but Will have to
exist for several weeks, possibly.
Coal men in a position to know, say
that even If the strike RI settled that
the country still faces a considerable
shortage in this kind or fuel. Some
of the dealers are already securing
the country for wood, to be used If
the worst comes to worse.
However, the rules and regulations
being made now will not be main
tanned any longer than will be strict
ly necessary, it is explained The
wishes to do everything
that is possible to do to help both
sides Of the question. and modifica-
ton of it's rules will be made from
time to time as the conditions
through the nation warrant.

RESIDENTS OF GRAND eOULE
WARD, IN CHICAGO, ISSUE
SOLEMN WARMING.
VALUES SUFFERED BIG DROP
Claim $3.50, 100000 Already Lost On
Fashionable Street Because Of
"Encroachments" of the
Black Man.

Chfcago.-The first organized step
to stop the encroachment OF negroes
on exclusive residence streets was
taken by 1000 wealthy property hold
ers of Grand boulevard. They formed
an association and pledged $4,000 to
fight the negroes. Negroes already in
the neighborhood were warned they
must leave and real estate men were
told they must not deal with negroes.
Strong feeling was expressed at the
meeting John P. Bowies, treasures
OF the Grand Boulevard association,
warned the negroes they must evacu-
ate the territory.
"The blacks are going to give us a
lot of talk, but they'll not bluff us"
he said. Il want to tell you people
that there will not be an insurance
company that will care to take risk
in this section If we say the word.
No banker will make loan to an un-
desirable and no real estate dealer
will dare to make a sale.
Il am not against the black man"
Mr.. Bowles continued, ''but | don't
want him for my neighbor. Since the
negro started to invade Grand boule-
ward property values have fallen $780,
900 600. My own home cost $4,000 to
build, but today cannot realize $4,000
on it in the open market"
Harry Fox, president of the Ken
wood and Hyde Park Property Own
ers association, who preceded 'Bowles
on the floor, said:
"We will grant the negro full JUS
tice. We will aid in securing for him
better housing facilities, equitable
working conditions and. good schools,
but we will not stand for any haran-
guing on his constitutional rights and
social equality to your detriment and
mine"
Alderman u. S. Schwartz advised
the gathering that the law hampered
their action.
"But there are things that can be
DONE" he said. "There is more than
money loss involved here"

COAL MEN FAIL TO AGREE
Operators and Miners Blame Each

der to Be Carried Out.

Washington.-The last government
effort to avert the coal strike set for
Nov. l failed, and half a million coal
miners will quit work on the very eve
of winter, with the nations bins run
ming dangerously low.
Even an appeal from President Will
son, sick in bed at the White House,
was not enough to bring peace to a
conference that was torn to the
breaking point half a dozen times.
Charges and counter charges flew
thick and fast as the groups of miners
and operators filed out of the meet
ing. John L. Lewis. president OF the
United Mine Workers of America, hur-
ried out of the hall without stopping,
but halted long enough to announce
that the strike order stood and that
the miners would walk out after full
days work on the closing day OF tho
present month,

PUBLIC GROUP REFUSES TO FuNc.
TIoN AFTER WITHDRAWAL OF
THE LABOR DELEGATES.
MANY WERE FOR CONTINUING
Report ls Submitted to President--sec
retary Wilson's Plan Proposing In
dustriaI Boards Receives Ap-
proval of Public Wing.

Washington.--With a recommends
ton to President Wilson that he create
a commission to carry on the work
which the national industrial confer
ence was unable to accomplish, ths
public group, the last remaining ele-
ment of the body, finally adjourned.
Despite two attempts by Mr.. Wilson
to save from dissolution the gathering,
tonight's adjournment brought to
formal close the conference, called Jy
the executive, to find some common
ground of cooperation between labor
and capital, on the outcome of which
were held in abeyance strikes affect
ing the entire Industrial life Of the
nation.
The report Of the public representa-
t.yes, declining to assume the task for
which the original gathering was called
was transmitted to the White House
through Chairman Bernard NJ Baruch
in the form of thousand-word letter.
No information was forthcoming as to
the presidents next move to bring In.
dustrial peace to the world.
Although the report was not made
public, it was learned that the docu-
ment summarized the proceedings OF
the IA days the conference was in
session, put the stamp of approval on
the plan for industrial boards sug-
gested by Secretary of Labor Wilson
and recommended the calling of an
other body, containing industrial ex-
perts. to undertake the peace adjust
ment. 1t was drafted by committee
of five delegates, of which John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., was chairman. AL
though four or five conferees were
opposed to final adjournment, only
DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
titus OF Harvard University, voted
against the motion on final test.
Delegates urged that the high cost
lof living and ether problems spressad
for immediate solutions before dfsso-
luton, but strong majority OF the
representatives, it was said, felt that
the conference virtually came to an
end with the withdrawal of the labor
group Wednesday. and that the pub
lie group was not sufficiently repre-
sentative to undertake a general pro-
gramme and also was handicapped by
popular disfavor.
The industrial board plan Of Secre-
tary Wilson, which met with favor
among the delegates, provides for
each industry. with general board Of
appeals and, as a final resort in cases
of dispute, an umpire chosen by the
parties to the dispute or from stand
ing list of 20 named by the president.
Several public representatives were
not present at the final session. OF
these Judge Ebert H. Gary. chairman
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, went to New York Wednesday
at noon and did not return.

Madrid.-The congress of Spanish
employers, sitting at Barcelona, de-
clared a general lockout of workmen
