sion, lost n four fight for life otter
undergoing nearly so operations to
overcome wounds he had suffered a
few days before the signing of the
Armistice when his body was riddled
by bullets from the machine gun of
a German airplane.
Mr. McCarty has been in hospitals
almost continuously since his return
Most of his wounds were major
ones and others were classed by sur.
geons as minor ones. Two bullets
which had grown into his jugolar vein
caused his death. Fourteen ribs had
been entirely removed, a portion of
shoulder blade and his collar bone
taken out.
The case was said by specialists
to be one of the most remarkable
in surgiral history.
Until two weeks ago he had recov-
cred sufficiently to leave the hospi-
tai for short periods. McCarty had
been cited for extreme bravery. his
citation states that he was dragging
bodies of his comrades back from ex-
posed positions when wounded.

PROPOSED TO
CONSERVE COAL

were called upon today by Julius S.
Barnes. president of the organization,
to lend their cooperation in prevent
ing runaway coal market by setting
up machinery for the coordination of

trial and individual consumers.
More than 1,400 organizations,
chambers of commerce and trade or
ganizations were urged to prevent a
fuel scarcity and improve the situa-
tiOn.
Discussing the plan, supplemental
to the suggestion OF Secretary Hoov-
er that the largest coal consuming
groups appoint buyers commissions to
coordinate their purchases, MIR.
Barnes said:
I'm view of a possibility of the
strike continuing until depletion OF
stocks becomes serious, believe that
in the general public interest this sit
uation should be anticipated as much
as possible. In the absence of other
machinery l suggest that you appoint
a fuel commission to survey the con-
ditions relative to stocks on hands
and the needs in your community or
industry and that this information be
compiled so that if the situation does
become serious it can be used in any
plan for distribution of available COAL

Can Not Be Rejected
BY Either Operators or
Workmen

New York, June 27,-Realizing that
the deadlock between mine operators
and mine workers will not voluntarily
be abated by either party to the coal
strike, the administration was pre-
pared today, responsible people intim-
ated, to offer plan for negotiating
the differences which, it was under
stood, could not be rejected by either
faction to the strike.
The coal situation in all its ramifi-
cations was understood to be one of
the chief topics to be taken up by
President Harding at the regular cab
met meeting, following which it was
understood, plan of negotiation in
volving a national conference and sub
sequent meetings would be discuss
ed.
Union leaders were of the opinion
that no break whatever could be eX-
pected in the ranks of union labor and
that movement was necessary to
bring operators into conference at
once.
