HOPES TO SETTLE
COAL STRIKE
SECRETARY DAVIS CALLS CON-
FERENCE OF OPERATORS
THIS WEEK.
ASKS THOSE STRIKE HITS
Failure to Call in Others Gives Rise to
Rumor of Break in the Ranks
of Owners and Possible Set
tlement by Sections.

Washington.-The government will
initiate feeling out" process to de-
termine the possibility of ending the
strike of bituminous coal miners by
Cancellation. Secretary of Labor
Davis has issued call for a confer
ence here of coal operators.
The operators to confer with Score
tary Davis are from the Ohio, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania regions,
where the industry has been practically
paralyzed by the strike of all organ
lied workers.
No explanation is given as to why
the operators from the Ohio, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania regions,
where the industry has been practi.
cally parlyzed by the strike of all or
ganized workers.
No explanation is given as to why
the operators from other regions af-
fected by the strike were not called
into the conference and for that rea-
son reports are current that there
has been break in the ranks of the
mine owners and that there is a posi-
bility of a settlement of the controver.
cy in the three sections.

HOOVER ADMITS

RETAILERS,
MAY APPEAL TO CONGRESS-
Dealers In Position to Boost Prices
to Any Figure, So Long as Con-
spiracy Cannot be Proven, Is
the Present Situation.

Washington.-The coal price situa-
ton will be put squarely up to con-
gress. At the White House 1t was stat
ed that in the face Of the refusal of the
retail dealers to reach an agreement
with Secretary of Commerce Hoover
the government is absolutely helpless
Secretary Hoover found ready re-
spouse to the suggestions from him
of maximum price for coal at the
mout hof the mines, but hough he la
bored all day in conference with the
retail dealers, he could get them to
come to no agreement beyond a moral
agreement to sit with an unofficial
committee to take up individual cases
of profiteering whenever complaint is
made.
So far as the retail dealers them
selves are concerned, they reserve alb
solutely the right to boost the price of
coal to the consumer as high as they
see fit, with the knowledge that until
a conspiracy to fix prices can be prov
ed the government is helpless to stop
them.
Before leaving here for a western
trip, Secretary Hoover admitted his
failure to persuade the retailers to
agree on maximum price.
Congress-" Mr.. Hoover declared, ''is
the only body which can set up a sys-
tenn to control prices in the emer-
gency.
81 do not recommend such action. I
merely point out that no other man
or group of men on the United States
can arbitrarily thwart the retailers if
they wish to raise prices
Mr.. Hooyers' answer to the senate
resolution inquiring as to what steps
the government has taken in the coal
strike has been prepared and will be
sent to the senate at once. 1t is I'M
derstood that the report will contain
no recommendation for congressional
action, but will merely emphasize the
present helpless condition of the gov
eminent and point out that congress
alone can act

Original plans of the Committee on

for the erection of new hospitals In
different sections of the country. Since
the refusal of the committee to erect
a new hospital for ex-service men at
Wichita Falls, Tex. however, 1t Is
generally conceded that this plan will
be Abandoned, and that the hospitals

/. and recommendations for enlarged
facilities were sent to the National
Rehabilitation Committee in Washing
ton.
While a great deal of credit has been
given Major Weldon, medical officer
In charge of Fort Roots. for his eff
cient organization and management,
the committee found that the facilities
were inadequate to care for the great
number of nervous cases that are daily
received. 1t Is said that not more
than 25 per cent of the ex-service men
suffering from nervous diseases are
receiving treatment. Many of these
cases are violent, and there is no suit
able building at Fort Roots for their
care.
The committee requested the cree
tion of new admission building, con-
structed in maner to make 1t suit
able for these violent cases; of an oc-
cupational therapy building, and other
structures. The hospital cares for men
from Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
The approximate capacity at present
is 2411 but If the requests of the COM
m are granted it will be increased
10 750. The new mess hall recently
completed can accommodate 1000 men.
1t is estimated that fully 500 ex-sol-
diers who have sustained nervous
breakdowns as result Of their war
service are being confined in state in
situations and are thereby being de-
prived of special treatment which
would mean their rehabilitation.
Strong efforts have been made by the
American Legion and others to rem
