the situation at length yesterday,
Secretary Wilson, of the depart

would invite John l., Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, and John L. Brewster, rep
resenting the operators, TO confer
with him here, probably Thursday.
While efforts of the miners and
operators to reach ian agreement on
the demands Of the workers, which
include increased pay and shorter
hours, have failed, Secretary Wilson
is hopeful that some amicable ad-

Mr.. Brewster the Importance Of un-
interrupted operation of the mines

NORTHERN VIRGINIA POWER
COMPANY SALE CLOSED.

The legal contamination of the
deal whereby the Northern Virginia
Power Company's interests in this
and adjoining counties was sold to a
holding company of interests con-
trolling the Hagerstown and Friedrich
Electric Railroad Company has been
put through and the sale made. The
new concern, which takes over the
holdings of the Northern Virginia,
was incorporated last week under the
laws of Maryland with 100000 as
capital, and is to be known as the
Shenandoah Company" Through
the deal Hagerstown and Frederick
Company realizes its ambition to car
nv out to the last detail its plan for
extending it's electric power and trac-
ton lines in the states of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Vir-
GINA. The company is largely con-
trolled by Baltimore interests. Bank
ing interests in Baltimore have done
most of the financing for the Hagers-
town and Frederick lines. The hold
ing company will acquire ownership
of the Hagerstown and Frederick
railway and the Northern Virginia
Power Company. The new company
has a nominal capital stock of $780,
900. The officers named in the cor
poration's papers are j. j. Hook,
president, who is also vice-president
of the Arundel Sand and Gravel
Company, and E. H. Wade, secretary

Unprecedented pre- Huletide weather
has not prevented Hood River people
from shopping. In a surprisingly short
time country residents have changed
the bobsled for the automobile and
afternoon shopping crowds here have
been normal. Buying has been heavier
than ever before in the history of the
city merchants say. While numerous
sidewalks remained covered with slu, hv
snow, extremely discomtiting TO the

lay in getting the supply of goods need

Merchants Of all classes report trade as

than in December Of last year, while
Others state that the percentage is far

1t is not infrequent that merchants

OCEAN FREIGHT RATE
ON APPLES DROPS

News that trans Atlantic freight
rates had been reduced fom IS to 20
cents per box was received varyngly
by shippers Monday. While the office
of Dan Wulle Co. greeted the news
with enthusiasm, c. W. McCullagh, of
the Association, declared that the lower
rate would not materially relieve the
export situation.
Mr. McCullagh cited the low level of
sterling exchange, which allows a max
imum Of So 30 under the British control
price. Transcontinental freights and
other expenses taken from this price.
Mr.. McCullagh says, will leave grow
er only from $l50 to 80 per box.
Mr. McCullagh also states that trans
continental freight service has been so
slowed down that stocks are arriving
at eastern seaboard in no condition for
export.
A. +. Woolpert says that his growers
will not be affected by the present low
exchange value of the pound, as they
are leaving their returns in England
until the rate goes higher
