declaration that they were inspired by
the victory of their Hungarian COM
radeS over "the accursed class" and
adjuring them not to rest until they

preponderating numbers of miners
had joined the miners union" ex-

fairly serious.
Throughout the Ruhr district the
workmen are willing to work, but are
powerless in the face of the Sparta
cans, and have Joined in their de-
mands for a 50 per cent increase in
wages and 900 marks bonus. The
Bochum miners are striking because
the mine owners refuse to pay them
the same wages for a six-hour day as

Coal Mems Resolution.

The text of a resolution adopted by
the coal men March u is quoted in
support of the contention that they
were willing to enter into general
agreement to stabilize prices. The
resolution reads:
.'Resolved by the bituminous coal
operators of the United States, in
meeting assembled in Washington
March 27. 1919, at the request of the
board of the Department of
Commerce. acting in conjunction with
the United States fuel administrator
that the operators Of the country de-
clare themselves ready to go into
conference with the Industrial board
with a view to cooperating with the
government in stabiliZing prices of
Ibituminous coal during the read1ust-
ment period upon their being assured
by the industrial board that the
United States railway administration
and other governmental purchasing
agencies purchasing coal are also
willing to co-operate.
1t was said by an official Of the in
dustrial board that the controversy
was holding up the whole Stabjlizing
urogram. Some fear that unless an
agreement with the railway admin
.i3tration is reached the steel men may
feel that they are absol!eI from their
obligation to reduce prices.

HOLDS open" COAL
PRICE NOT BINDING
The Railroad Administration
Wants 1t Cheaper Than Un-
der StabiIizing Plan.
RESENTED BY OPERATORS

Agreements reached between the
coal operators and the industrial
board Of the Department Of Commerce
stabilizing prices of bituminous coal
are not binding on the railroad admin
istration, an official close to Walker
D. Hines, director general, today inti-
mated. The fact that the adminis-
ences which illuminated in an under
standing between the coal men and
the board does not change the situa-
tion.
1t is held in railway administration
circles that authority conferred by
President Wilson on the beard eX-
tends only to arranging price scales
to be accepted by government pur-
chasing agencies if agreeable to them
The railway administration takes the
stand that it is not agreeable to that
organization to buy coal in the open
market at the same price as that fuel
is sold to ordinary purchasers.
Claims Right to Lower Price.
The administration insists that the
purchase of the immense supplies nee
essary to operate the roads entities 1t
to a lower price than that which ordi-
nariIy prevails. Coal was bought in
the open market during the war. it
was explained, only because an emer-
gency existed.
Director General Hines has just re-
turned from an inspection tour. He
consulted all regional directors. This
afternoon George n. Peek, Mr.. Hines,
probably Secretary of Labor Wilson.
Secretary of the Treasury. Glass and
other cabinet and bureau officials will
confer ON the matter.
The position of the coal men ts
given in a statement by the National
Coal Association. 1t is charged that
the railroad administration had
adopted unfair practices (which
would drive the purchase Of railroad
fuel below the cost Of production"
This would necessitate advancing
the price of fuel for the general con-
suming public to point sufficient to
absorb the loss involved in the pro-
duction of coal for railroad use" the
association says 1T was therefore
apparent that unless the railroad ad-
ministration would lend it's co-opera-
ton and bind itself to accept the find
ings of the conference no beneficial
results for the general public could
be obtained.
