Upon Government by Min.
ing Congress.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Oct. H.
(By The Associated Press)-Re.
Iduction in government expenses
as a means of curtailling the h:gn
taxes Of the national and state
governments was asked In a reso.
luton presented to the American
Mining Congress in session here
today.
The resolution declared that ext
penditures of our government can
and should be materially reduced
by conforming such expenditures
as are necessary to the minimum
called for by sound common sense
and business principles. and ask.
ed all citizens to give support to
Legislators and officials who are
supporting exact economies In

Another resolution expected to
come before today's session was
one presented yesterday by Char
les E. Maurer, OF Cleveland, vice
president Of the congress. urging
the congress to vote as being I'M
lawful strikes or Iock.outs In es-
sent'al industries. Mr.. Maurer,
Himself. coal operator and long
a representative OF the owners in
wage scale committee dealing with
the United Mine Workers, intro
duced the resolution after an ad-
dress in which he predicted an
other coal strike at the expiration
OF the working agreement between
the operators and the miners
March 81, 1923.
In the most sensational address
Of the week, Mr.. Maurer told the
delegates that coal prices next
April would be as low as those at
the same time this year, and pre-
dicted that the miners union
would again refuse to accept a
wage reduction without a fight.
Relations with the union hal
been satisfactory up to 1915 Mr..
Maurer asserted. but since that
time no agreement has been kept
by the miners.

dress, James A. Emery OF Wash.

manded that the coal industry

MAXIMUM PRICE
/ Of ANTHRACITE
FIXED AT S9.25
Immediate Reduction of Hard
Coal Prices Said to Be
Assured by Action.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 70. = An
agreement which is expected TO re.
suit In fixing the maximum price
OF anthracite mined by independ.
ent operators at $9.25 per ton at
the mines has been reached be.
tween the Pennsylvania authorities
and Fuel Distributor Spens, repre-
senting the federal government.
The agreement. announced here
today by w. D. B. Ainey. chairman
of the Pennsylvania Fuel Commits
sion, is regarded by officials as as.
curing immediate reductions in the
hard coal prices now charged by
Independent operators controlling
20 per oeRt-ot- the .oItpaty-thus re-
moving a price discrepancy that
has been the cause Of complaint In
all consuming territories.
Chairman Ainey, with Mr.. Spens
and with Eugene c. FELTON,, repre-
senting the fair practices commit.
tee In the anthracite industry,
reached the agreement at confer.
ences held last night and today.
The largest part OF the produc.
ton OF anthracite. an amount est.
mated by officials at 10 per cent
or more Of the 'otal. comes from a
group Of large mines which now
are charging from IS to $S.35 per
ton, while some OF the Independent
operators have been charging UP
above S12 per ton. The arrange.
ment by which the price VIII be
held down to S9.25 is described as
an indirect one, but It is said to be
probable that mine owners who re.
fuse to abide by the decision will
have their operations restricted By
use OF the governments power to
regulate transportation.

FORD COAL CARS

tors Fear Buyers Strike.

According to reports from Lum.
berport today Henry Ford, tho
Tin Lizzie King" has some Of
his privately owned coal cars in
the region. Although the B. &
o. figures do not show them nor
are the cars here according to the
railroad, eye witnesses say that
this morning they saw thirty
three seventy ton steel hoppers
in that section with the words
upon them, Ford Motor Car Co. ="
and carrying the initials, F. Il.
D. X. In white.
1t could not be learned what
coal company II any was loading
the cars today.
Buyers Strike On.
Just the way the market Is
dragging today 1t is apparent that
there is buyers strike on. Ger,
tain manufacturers apparently
are casing UP buying for the pur-
pose OF beating down the price.
However, when they come back on
the market the price is bound 30
advance. Quotations ranged any
where from Sails to $3.50 today
with quality Pittsburgh at the
highest level In some instances.
The general opinion here Is
that II buying continues to ease
up some folks will be worrying
about their coal supply when the
winter months arrive. Increased
price levels are apt to result.
