Some Flag that Flies Over Reds

z CINCINNATl--It was an Of
fetal holiday. long to be remem-
bered. when that much coveted
National League pennant was
unfurled and raised to the top
OF the flagstaff at Redland Field.
Every fan will remember how
sensationally the Reds won this
flag in 1919 after having strug-
gled along at the bottom OF the
ladder for years. 1t all came
back to those who witnessed the
flag-raising this time. 1t was a
happy thought. And when John
McGraw took hold OF the string
with Pat Moran, to raise the
banner, the clean sportsHanship
OF the game made the incident
all the more impressive.

COMMITTEE ID GET
 COAL PROFIT DATA
Operators Complain of Loss and Price Readjustmcnt
 Will Be Considered
By A,.esis,sd Prs.

Washington. February s---Protests of a great number of bituminous oper- ators that they are mourning a loss under the present maximum fixed prices and the II per cent wage in- creases to miners led the coal strike settlement commission today to decide on appointment of a special committee to begin the compilation of data bear ing on the' necessity for a rcadjust- ment of these prices in all fields.
 Announcing that the purpose of the committee was solely to facilitate con- sideration of the price question by the commission, Chairman Robinson em- phasized that the commission was yet entirely without right to order any readjust tment of prices. Such author ity. he said. would be asked for only if the commission finally concluded that the new price levels were neces- sary Appointment of the committee, however. following the approximation of the current losses by many opera tors were accepted by substantial in- dieation that the committee believes readjustment of prices to the public must be included in it's final settle ment.
 Personnel of the committee. upon which will be represented the opera tors, miners and public. probably win be announced tomorrow.

This agreement was said to provide that no strike calls sholl be issued without giving the rail- road administration thirty days notice IL was declared the railroad administra- ton has received no official information of the unions grievances and the strike call was set only eight days ahead.
 Director General Hines has telegra phed President Barker of the union for state ment as to why the strike was called. it was said, No reply had been received when railroad administration offices closed for the day

BELIEF GROWING
 HINES ID REFUSE
 INCREASE DEMAND
Representatives of Railway Workers Prepare Restate- ment of Case to Be Pre-
 sented Today
By Associated Pres.

Washington, February 9.--Bellef that Director General Hines will refuse to grant the wage increases demanded by more than 100000 railroad workers continued to grow today. As the union administration officials declared likely would be the last conference tomorrow indications were strong that bare concession of adjustment of alleged in equalities in pay would be the sum total of changes permitted in the pres ont wage agreements.
 Representatives of the workers have prepared a restatement of their case for submission tomorrow to MT. Hines. All declined to discuss it's contents, but 1t was understood to be a counter proposition to the views of Mir Hines as thus fair laid before the conference.
 The conferees held cnly a brief ses- sion today for the reason that prep aration of the union argument and claims had not been completed Not all of the workers representatives att tended the conference and discussion was limited to some minor details.
 Director General IIiras was reported tonight to have received recommenda- tions from certain other government officials that the wage demands of the railroad employees be refused. The di- rector generals previousiy announced attitude that no increases could be granted was said to have been held by some of these officials to be proper even though living costs have not come down. The railroads will go back to their owners within less than three weeks and the views given the rail- road administration from most govern ment quarters were that, in fairness to the owners, general wage increase should not be saddled on them
 The further argument was said to have been advanced that any in- creases in wages would bring higher freight and passenger rates. and in- terstate commerce commission off cials have declared that the general public would enter strenuous protest against such. These officials have held that if rates can be held at their pres ent level it will be a check on living costs. if not reducing them.
 Neither side in the negotiations would say definitely that tomorrow's session of the conference would be productive of a settlement because cf the arguments which have been in- jected from several sources. according Ito officials. All of these will have to be threshed over and it was declared the union conferees might have further things to say when the governments case again is stated.
 Railroad administration officials de- nied reports that MT. Hines had asked officials of the railroad corporations to which the roads soon will be re- turned for an expression as to any changes in wage agreements.
 The negotiations were instituted by Mir. Hines and he has been careful, it was explained to avoid suggestions frnn rai off 1c nf elements to whieh they might lead.

DISCUSS FUTURE
 MERCHANT MARINE
Will Find Way to Operate Tonnage Produced Dur
 ing War, Says Daniels
sy A,.ocIatsd Press

Washington, February 9-The future of the American merchant marine engaged the attention here today of both men who own and operate commercial craft and men who build them.
 Secretary Daniels vas the principal speaker at the conference. He assured his hearers that some way would be found to operate merchant tonnage pro- duced during or as a result of the war and to restore the American commercial fleets to the place they held sixty years ago. National~ prosperity, he said, was dependent upon carrying American goods in American bottoms. f
 MT. Daniels also reiterated his position as to the strength of the battle fleet and said that work on the naval building pro- gran1me would not be stopped. As to American naval power he said:
 '.No man is a stronger advocate of the league than T. but in the present per- turbed condition of the world the league must have police force on the seas and want the United States to have a force in that police force as large as any other nation.
 Without the league. he added. the American navy should be "incomparably greater than any other.
 II. H. Raymond, president of the Amer ican Steamship Owners Association, was before the Senate committee urging that the sale price for government war built
