 15 and 20 Cents.''

Washington, Nov 22-Rcfusing to accept proposals made by Secretary of Labor Wilson as basis for fur. ther negotiations, soft coal operators of the central competitive field rested their case today with Fuel Admins- trator Garfield, whose official ap- proval is necessary to validate any new wage agreement.

FANNUNz|0 IS NEAR WAR WITH ] THE JUC0-SL.AvS
oo+. Warrior Determined to An
 npx Dalmatia and Attack Montenegro.
1LIEs CONCERNED
 OVER NEW CRISIS
|onort Says D'Annunzio Seeks to Make Self President of Italy Aggression in Adriatic Is Certainty.

London, Nov. 22.-The situation on
 10 Adriatic as a result of Gabrielle
 (Annunzio's campaign has reached a
 ;s;s. Private advices leave no
 o,,bt that he is determined to annex Sa]matia and attack Montenegro.
 The Jugo-Slavs are stated to have
 oncentrated troops and to be pre- .ared to resist aggression. l Another report says a republican Indercurrent directed against the kalian monarchy exists among dAn- iunzio's forces.
 1 It is stated in the advices that |,rther aggression by d'Annunzio ! |kill certainly precipitate hostilities tith the Jugo-Slavs who, however, it declared, will direct their attack |gainst dAnnunzio and not against he Italian government. It is not known, however, wheth- r the insurgent post leader shares he reported ambition of this mili- hry element to attack the govern hent.
 D'Annunzzio, it appears, has been |tirred to further efforts by the fact hat the Italian elections were un- favorable to his cause. Many ad- |enturers are Hooking to his stand lrd, the reports state, and among a ertain element there seems to be a lesire to make him president of taly.
 Some we'll informed quarters be- ieve he merely desires to annex Dal- natia for Italy and has no republic n ambition. Whatever his attitude nay be on this question, however, here appears to be no doubt that he as not abandoned his plans of ag- Fession in the Adriatic.
 A late report from Rome says the lilitary party which favors the an- lexation of Dalmatia has brought uch strong pressure to bear upon he government that the situation is elicate.

MEMBERS WILL
 HAVE BIG PART IN NEW CHAMBER
Influential Place in Directing Operations of Commercial
 Body Given Members.

The reorganized Chamber of Con- merce will be operated on the most democratic principles. Under the di rectioh of the organization specia- lists of the American City bureau, the bylaws will be rewritten to con- form to the most modern methods of Chamber of Commerce practice. All changes will be designed to popular ize the organization with it's mem- bers, and give them more influ ential place in it's control. This form of organization has been installed in almost 200 cities by the American City bureau, and they assert that in almost every case it has brought about greatly increased efficiency in results.
 The work of making these chances will begin immediately following the membership drive. An American City bureau representative will be here until the work is completed.
 Some of the new features were ex- plained yesterday by a representa- tive of the bureau. The plan of election is the most democratic than can be devised. Under the plan, both the nomination and the final election will be conducted by mail with every member having a chance to vote There will he no nom'na- nominating ballot will contain the name of every member of the Cham Der of Commerce. Under this nlan men are nominated because of their public service. Men elected under this plan are given the highest tri- bute that can come to man, an cleo tion to an important office without effort on his own part or that of friends.
 New Communities System.
 The results of this plan in many cities have proved that the members are discriminating in their nom'na- tions of men for the board of dir ectors and choose only those who render public service without thought of selfish interest. The plan has done more to popularize Cham bers of Commerce than any othar practice introduced in the commercial organization field in many wears. Another feature that will be intro. duced as explained bv the American City bureau. is the abolishment of standing committees. and the intro ductior of the special committee sys- tenn. Under this nlar. all work is distributed through the membership in special committees, each con- rnittee being given special task. When their work is done. they are given an honorable discharge. Care | is taken to choose men for their particular interest in the work to he done.
 Members Forum.
 A third feature in the formation of a program of work bv direcs cor. spltation with the members. Imme- diately following the membershiu drive. the members will be invited in to small group meetircs for the pun
 pose of discnssing in rnnnd -takle
