HOOVER CALLS
CONF FERENCE Of
COAL OPERATORS
Government Intends to Take
Hand in Situation Where
Prices Have Advanced

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Secretary
Hoover announced tonight the calling
of a conference of, coal operators to
devise measures for the protection of
consumers from the tendency of coal
prices to rise at the mine in certain
districts, which he declared would be
checked. No date has yet beer defi-
nitely set for the conference but-.it
is expected to be held in the next few
days.
Hoover requested the American
Railway Association and the Public
Utilities Associations to create buy
ing committees to handle their pur-
chases of coal. and announced his in
tention of asking other large consum-
ing industries to take similar meas
ures in order to stop bidding against
each other and against the general
consumer.
"At the present time" he said, "the
price of coal has risen unduly in GER
tain districts, while in other districts
there is an insufficiency of orders to
employ the mines full time. There
are very large stocks of coal in the
country in the possession of consum-
ers. and the problem is one Of co
ordination and COOPERATION.
The reports of certain wholesalers
that there is shortage OF coal is un-
true and designed to further their per
sohal ends.''
From the White House also there
came word today of the governments IS
intention to take hand in the situa-
tion arising from the advance III the
price of coal at the mine in some dis
tricts.
President Harding and other off
cials of the administration consider, it
was said, that in spite of the continu-
ing coal strike, there exists no posi-
BILE reason for general or material ad-

NECESSITY FOR
STABLE FOREIGN
MARKETS URGED
European Situation Discussed
in Problem of Reviving
Trade of y. S.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Necessity
of stabiliZing foreign markets as .
= step toward adjusting American do
mestic commerce was agreed upoT
with practical unanimity by speakers
who addressed the opening session to
day of the tenth annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. The markets of Europe, as
the principal repository of Americas
surplus goods, was given first place
in every discussion of the problem of
reviving the trade of the United
States.
The convention was opened by Jo-
seph H. DeFrees, president of the
chamber, who reviewed the growth of
the organization and dwelt at length
on European business conditions. Ar
thur Ralfour, vice president of the
Association of British Chambers of
Commerce of Sheffield, Eng, also de-
tailed economic and business condi-
tions abroad.
Various group meetings were held
throughout the day, at which were
discussed subjects relating to housing
conditions, immigration and citizen
ship, domestic distribution, stabiliz-
ing production and other similar top
les relating to American business. Re
ports will be made later to the full
meeting.
, Secretary Hoover, outlining in a
speech before the delegates tonight
his view of what steps were neces-
'sary to continue the movement toward
normal, placed the political relation
ship between European states at the
top of the list, declaring these must
be so rearTanged as to produce an at
mosphere of peace. Reduction of ar
mament as a further evidence of peace
ful intention, as well as for resultino
economies, was important, Hoover
said, and included in his list of neces-
sary adjustments:

Partially Finished Apartment
Block Goes Up in Flames;

CHICAGO, May 16.-Open defiance
of the efforts of the police to check
IAN outbreak of labor war which has
terroriZed the city for the past two
months, was seen tonight in a spectac
ular fire which partially destroyed a
seventy apartment building under con

heart of a wealthy residence district.
Starting Just before dark at several
points on the first floor, the flames
spread rapidly through the 100000

fighting apparatus in the northern
section of the city was called out be-
fore 1t was brought under control with
half the building in ruins. The entire
Rogers Park police force was used to-
keep back the crowds, estimated at
more than 5000 persons.
Workmen employed on the structure
were working under the Landis wage

Harding Asks That
Name of Leviathan
Remain Unchanged

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The for
mer German liner Leviathan, which
was used in transporting American
troops during the war, will retain its
present name and not be named for
president Harding at the request of
the president himself, the shipping
board announced tonight Instead.
the Hawkeye State. known as the
boards "capital ship" will be named
the President Harding, while the
Golden State, recently named for
President Taylor, will be christened
the President Cleveland.
In a letter to Chairman Lasker
making the request, President Hard
ing said he felt the board made a
mistake in changing the name of the
Leviathan-a name that has an over
powering national sentiment, senti-
ment that symbolizes the participa-
ton OF this great vessel in the World
War, and during that period in which
she was engaged in returning our
forces from European battlefields.
"The Loyiathan stands, in name
and fact, not only as n national SEN
timent but a national symbol" he
wrote.

Senator Capepr, Republican, Kansas

Senator McNary, Republican, Oregon

Under consideration, it was said
was n bill to license grain traders
and provide penalties for violation OF
regulations to be prescribed by the
department of agriculture, restricting
future grain trades. Senators said
they believed that q smaller penalty
than that of 90 cents a bushel, pro
vided in the law before the court rul
ing, might be as effective.
