BEATS HIGH RENT WITH

New York, Oct. ga bungalow

Staten Island resident and prospec-

to be the latest device for beating the
high cost Of building and railroad
transportation.
William Ward, designer Of the s'roll-

bath and kitchen, reckoned it would
be. cheaper to build, equip and tow
his household intact by automobile to

The committee placed before the
senator complete rview of the stu
alton and the dangers ahead and
then went to the Federal building
for a conference with the district at
toney.
The district attorney informed
the committee that he is in constant
communication with district at
torneys in the mining districts and
is endeavoring to, obtain prosecu-
tions wherever there is evidence Of
profiteering. He said he has definite
assurance that the dealers of At
lanta are paying too much for coal
at the mines and that there is q
great deal Of repadding Of sales
prices.
Further interest was added to the
situation today when chamber sf
commerce officials announced that
another car shortage is threatened
in Atlanta. The cause Of this short;
age, it is stated, is the fact that
there is great deal Of apathy and
indifference among local receivers
rgarding unloading Of cars and dis
them back to shippers.
It is stated that unless there is an
Improvement shortly in the car
shortage the terminal committee Of
the American Railway Association
will be forced to take drastic steps
to relieve it.

London, Oct. "a (By the Associated

the striking coal nliners conferred
for three hours today. After the
miners delegates had departed, the
cabinet members continued in ses-
sion with Mr.. Lloyd George. Frank
Hodges, on leaving with the other
representatives Of the miners, said
the discussions would be continued.
After the meeting with the gov

tive body went into conference which
lasted until 4:30 p. m. and then ad-
journed until tomorrow afternoon.
The convention; with Mr.. Llod George
and the other members Of the govern
ment will be resumed. D.
Hope seemed to prevail that there
would be settlement Of the coal
strike as a result Of the renewal of
the direct negotiations between the
miners and the government. Mean
while neither side has disclosed the
nature of the negotiations, but ac-
cording to an unofficial report the pre-
mier suggested some new formula
which would satisfy the government
that if a two shilling advance in
wages was conceded it would be ac-
conpanied by increased output. %
One indication Of a hopeful turn
in the tide Of affairs was afforded to-
night by a report from well in
