Chief among the groups are 1000

! Although board members made 10

City officials handling the negotia-
tons are Of the belief that $4,000
additional a year would be sufficient
as this would then bring the total
sum paid Mr. Healy each year for
collecting the garbage close to s60, 900.
In addition they agree that only two
collections each week need be made
the year round instead OF the three a
week as now required of him for the
summer months for the term of his
contract.
II was asserted today, and Mr.
Healy. 1t Is understood. has been ad-
vised along similar lines, that in case
he sees MT to refuse to accept this ex-
ira $4,000 offered by the city his
contract will be terminated at once
and the city will be willing 10 risk go
ing into court on suit by him for
such breach OF contract. The city will
then do its own collecting and can pu,

Washington. Juno "a statement
from Secretary Hoover declaring the
essential thing about coal prices is
that the runaway market has been
stopped" was the latest development
today IN connection with agitation in
the Senate over the strike situation
and the plan adopted by the secretary
for holding prices at a fair level
during the tie-up of the industry.
Issued after tho assertion by Senator
Walsh. Democrat. Massachusetts,. on
the Senate floor yesterday that the
public patience was being exhausted
BY coal operators taking advantage of
agreements reached with Mr.. Hoover
10 boost their prices TO retailers. the
secretary's statement DECLARED that
some OF the senators have been mis-
informed by misleading statements
from a small group of retailers who
object strenuously 10 any attempt 10
restrain prices The fact is. Mr..
Hoover contended, that prices receded
from the level reached on May Is
and the public has been protected from
repetition of 1920 conditions.
Making public his reply TO the Ma
tional Retail Coal Merchants Asso-
citation in which he took issue with
representations that an advance Of
$50 a ton for coal TO the house
holder was warranted as a result OF
the recent negotiations with operators,
Mr.. Hoover declared that such a
change of view" after recent prornises
OF cooperation. did not represent the
vast majority Of retailers who, he
said. were making every effort TO sup
ply their customers without unusual
/ profits.

In their efforts TO bring about a
settlement of the garbage collection
problem, one that will insure the prop
er removal OF this material so that
there will be no further cause for
complaint from the residents, city
officials who are handling the question
have made a fat offer OF 1000 a year
TO Sylvester Healy, the contractor, TO
enable him to properly equip himself
TO do the work in an efficient manner.
This $4,000 is in addition to the an
nual sum he is now receiving under
the contract he has with the city 10
make the collections. $4s.sso. In the
event Mr.. Healy rejects this offer he
probably will find that his contract
has been cancelled and then the city
will do It's own garbage collecting the
same as It does with the ashes.

the city pay him s2s,00o year in ad-
dition to his regular contract price

advisable to take over some Of the bi-

and operate them for the benefit OF
the consumer II the strike was not
settled In another twenty or thirty
days was made IN the Senate yester-
day by Senator Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin. who has acted as spokesman for
the Administers ton.
Mr.. Lenroot appeared as defender OF
Secretary Hoover, who has been under
attack by Senator Walsh of Massa-
chusetts and other Democratic Sena-
tors because of his negotiations with
operators in an effort TO prevent sky
rocketing OF prices. He said that in
his opinion. II the strike continued
another thirty days. the wisdom Of
Secretary Hoover would be demon
strated and that otherwise coal prices
would have scared TO as high as $40
a ton.
Secretary Hoover, who returned
from Youngstown. Ohio, yesterday
entered the controversy, alleging that
some Of the Senators have been mis-
informed by misleading statements
from a small group Of retail dealers
who object strehuouely TO any attempt
