Break in the Stock
 MarketMOre Serious
Weakness of Certain Stocks Indicates the Enforced Dis solution of Pools.

New York. Nov. 1s.-The break III the stock market which began ilttie more than a week ago assumed Wluer and more serious proportions today.
 The entire list was carried to lowest levels in many weeks, gross recesslons in speculative induStrialS ranging rom
 IS to B points.
 Developments of the day, with few exceptions, gave further momentum 10
 the decline and the selling derived ao-
 ditional impetus from the aggressive activities of confident and greatly
 extended short interest.
 According to dispassionate observ-
 CTS, however, the weakness displayed
 by certain stocks plainly suggested the enforced dissolution of several other pools, whose further operations were regarded with disfavor by the panks and other lenders of money.
 The one hopeful note of the day was sounded by the local federation reserve bank. whose directors held meetlng, but evidently saw nothing in the sit uation ojustify another reduction Tn discount rates. The national board of the federal reserve bank also was l in session in Washington, but took nc action respecting market affairs here | Call money ruled at 12 per cent. un- til the final half hour. when drop 10 | 10 per cent induced much realizing for profits and incidental coverings of short contracts.

Washington. Nov. 1s.-Prospects Of coal famine drew nearer tonight with negotiations between operators and miners apparently at standstill.
 4 subcommittee of the joint wage scale committee. was in session three hours but it was announced after the meeting that only the general sit uation was discussed and that the op-a orators did not submit counter-propos- als to the miners demands. The con- ference will continue tomorrow.
 NO progress was made. The op- orators submitted no proposals. We are still in a receptive mood" said John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, as he came out 0 fthe hotel room where the conference was held.
 The operators committee remain ed session an hour longer. At the end of that time Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the operators committee in the central competitive field, spoke enthusiastically, declaring that this was the first attempt at real negotiations since the miners and operators met at Buffalo. For that reason, he said, only general matters were discussed. The decision of the joint wage scale conference to continue it's negotiations through smaller group. in accordance with the usual custom in making the wage agreements, came after the owners and workers had heard from Fuel Administrator Garfield that as long as the government stands ''the people of the United States need must have, and will have coal, and 1 they will not be prevented by any thing the operators and miners may do.''
 The consuming public, the chief par | ty in interest in the present contro- l versy, Dr. Garfield said, is not in z mood to tolerate either execessivt prices or prolonged stoppage of pro duction.
 The subcommittee is composed O
 two miners and two operators iron
 each of the four states in the centra lconpetitive district, together with MI Brewster and Mir. Lewis.

 IN WE5E VIRGINIA

Charleston. W. Va. Nov. 1s.-The coal strike situation in the unionized southern mining districts of West yir- Sinia took on more serious aspect tonight when reports were received from the New River coal fields show ing that hundreds of miners had walked out, closing a number of mines, which had been operating since the resembling of the strike order.

BREAK IN MARKET DUE TO
 "UNBRIDLED SPECULATION

Washington, Nov. 1s.-The recent break in the New York stock market was due to "unbridled speculation" |" Governor Harding of the federal re- serve boadr said in letter tonight to Senator Owen of Oklahoma, swho had asked for a direct explanation of the price crash.
 Spectators took no heed of warn- ings issued by the board and by the federal reserve bank at New York that reserves were declining and that halt must be called. MT. Harding said. and the speculative movement continued These circumstances, he added, then forced the New York bank to call the attention of rediscounting banks to the situation; in order that demands oi regular customers for call money 1T handling commercial transactions might be protected.

Consumers. members of the committee say. cannot be too strict in economizing in the use of fuel.
 Heretofore, it has been maintained, there was no danger of coal short age in the district owing to supplies on hand, continued production in non union fields and a steady iu- crease in West Virginia coal mining. Protracted deliberations of the min CTS and operators committee a. Washington, the continued idleness of mines in Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and Pennsylvania, and the sudden cold snap today. have changed the tone of coal authorities in discussing the sit- uation tonight.
