B|TUM|NOUS COAL. OPERATORS MEET
 TODAY TO DECIDE LIN LONER ER PRICES
Meeting of Soft Coal Oper- ators Most Important in History of Country; Act As Individuals

CLEVELAND. Oct. 25.-- Hundreds of bituminous coal operators from var ious producing fields throughout the country reached Cleveland tonight for a general meeting here tomorrow, et which a communication from Attorney General Palmer urging action toward a lowering Of prices for soft coal will be taken up.
 The meeting which has been called by Colonel D. B. Wentz, of Philadel- phia, president of the National Coal association. is expected to be one of the most important in the history of the country.
 It is anticipated that upwards of a thousand of the seven thousand soft coal producers of the country who have been invited to attend. will par ticipate in tomorrow's meeting, and it is assured that the attorney gen. erals communication will be the basis for a free and open discussion of the whole soft coal situation as it affects prices.
 Colonel Wentz called the meeting at the request of Attorney General Palmer so that the attorney generals proposal might be put before all of the representative soft coal operators.
 It was explained today that the Ma tional Coal assooiation, whose mem- bership embraces 2,500 operators with more than tl1reeAfourths of the aggre- gate soft coal output, which will this | year reach nearly 550,000,000 tons, cannot, because of the nature of it's charter. take any action relating to | price fixing. Because of this Colonel 1 Wentz decided to put the matter be- | fore the general body of coal opera tors. but as individual representatives I of the various fields.
 While it is not thought that an at 1 tempt will be made to fix any maxi mum price for soft coal 1t is under stood that the majority of those oper- ators in the city tonight might sup
 port a resolution favoring flair and reasonable prices and only a reason
 able profit to the operators
 It Tas also said that out of the meet
 ing may come a resolution or recom-
 mendation for what is known as fair : price committees of operators" in the
 soft coal mining fields where alleged
 excessive prices have existed Such committees have been organized in
 cooperation with the attorney generals
 office in districts in West Virginia,
 Alabama and Kentucky and are now WOFklHR tO e1fIuludke aDuSe Tn the handling of coal after it has left the

 Operators here tonight said that ? with the production of soft coal now
 aggregating nearly 12,000.000 tons a week excessive prices wherever they 5 have prevailed, are rapidly coming l down and that through the last years } coal emergency, the great bulk of coal | had been sold under contract at the t mines for nominal prices.
 The operators also will discuss ef- : forts already under way backed by
 the National Coal association to elim- : mate objectionable prices in the re- : sale of coal both as to export trade l and movement of coal for domestic f uses.

 The Republican party proposes !. such an association of nations as will most effectively fur ther the aspirations for world wide and permanent peace without sacri- ficing any part of the independence of the American nation. It believes AiHeftcd can ana must bear its full part in the responsibilities of the world, but it always believes that America alone must decide what that rart shall be-"
 Senator Harding's statement fol- | lows:
 Tn asking the suffrage of the Amer ican electorate this year the Republi- can party has in mind both the record or service from it's beginning. whereof 1t is very proud. and the vision of ou. portunity for service in the future which its spokesmen have presented during this campaign.

[RepubIIcan A. ?. Leased wIrel


 CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The special Cook county baseball jury will reconvene to- morrow with two witnesses who have not yet appeared before the jurors scheduled to give testimony which off cials in the states attorneys office said tonight undoubtedly would throw considerable light on the scandal in the 1919 worlds series and might prove of sensational character"
 Joe Gedeon. second baseman of the St. Louis American league club. and Arnold Rothstein of New York are the men who are expected to testify.
 Gedeon arrived today from his home in Sacramento, in response to a call from Ban Johnson, president of the American league. to come and give the jury any information he may have. He was immediately taken to the home of an assistant states attorney and not allowed to see anyone until late in the evening, when he told reporters he was not guilty of any wrong doing in con- nection with the 1919 world series.
 'I bet $500 on Cincinnati because had heard rumors that they would win and because I thought they had the best team" said Gedeon. but I was not mixed up in the bribery and did not act as a go between to arrange the deal between the ball players and the gamblers. as some people say. ] went west with Swede' Risberg and Chick GaRdil after the series. but they never told me anything about throw ing the series. The states attorneys here. seem to think I know lot, judg- ing from the questions they have asked me, but I don't"
 Gedeon was questioned by Judge Charles A. Macdonald and Assistant State Attorney Hartley Replogle for nearly three hours. Judge Macdonald said he would confer with Gedeon again tomorrow before he went on the stand. The states attorney said he was not officially in custody, but was | being held in privacy of his own free will It was announced that the St Louis player would not be allowed tc testify until he has signed an immunity waiver and that he had agreed to dc | this.
 The states attorneys office an nounced that it had positive informa- tion that Rothstein would reach here tomorrow and that he would also sigr an immunity waiver before going be- fore the jurors.
 Ban Johnson also probably will tes- tify.

 The governor turned over consider able material that has been collected showing that the drop i'm wheat was unnatural and doubtless tho result of manInulation in wheat futures. to- Kether with the use made of the free wheat from Canada
 ..An investigation of the stocks of wheat on hand at Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City, the controlling wheat markets. shows that there has been gradual reduction in tho amount of wheat at these terminal markets dur inE tho months of July, August and September and. while the statements for October shows a slight increase over September. it is very much below the reserve on hand July 1
 FIT instance. on July 1 the total stock Of wheat at Chicago. Minneapolis and Kansas City was S.51S,7S6 bushels; i; August g. 3.1si.104 bushels; September 4 s.1s7.o00 bushels: October 1. 3.977, 715 bushels. While wheat had taken a sensational tumble of one dollar pei hushei there was a. reduction in the stock on hand of four and one-hali million bushels.
 Surely in the face of these facts nc intelligent man will contend it was tho law of supply and demand. because tho price reduced while the stock was de- creasinE"
