INDIANA WILL mine
COAL Until ACTUAL
WORK RESUMED HERE
tRy Associated PressD

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15-Gover-
nor McCray said today that mining Of
coal at Staunton, where the state Is
operating two strip mines under the
protection of the Indiana National
Guard, will continue until the Indiana
operators are ready to reopen their
mines.
Signing of any sort of agreement
for settlement of the coal strike at
Cleveland, Ohio, where miners and
operators are in conference, will have
no effect on the states coal production
program at this time on account of the
small percentage of Indiana tonnage
represented at the meeting" the gov
ernor said.
Business conditions in eight Indiana
cities where the state operators have
employment offices do not indicate
that the coal and railroad strikes have
caused any serious situation as yet.

day by Thomas Raleigh, head of the

Special Rediscount Rate
On Agricultural Paper
Before Reserve Board
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Estab-
lishment of a special rediscount rate
of three and one-half percent on agri-
cultural paper is under consideration
by the Federal reserve board, officials
said today. The proposal has been
laid before the Federal reserve banks,
It was explained, and action by the
board is being withheld pending their
replies, although, officials indicated,
the suggestion was not meeting with
favor generally.
AS suggested officials explained, the
special farm rate would enable banks
which made loans for agricultural pur-
poses-upon the security of farm pro-
ducts-to rediscount at three and one
half percent which is one-half percent
k~.ow the lowest reserve rate now in
effect, if the rate charged by the
banks to the original borrower did not
exceed six percent A special farm
products rate, officials recalled. was
in effect in 1915 but was discontinued
Board Officials Differ.
Board officials apparently differed
as to the advisability of the farm com.
modify rate being revived under pres
ent conditions. Some declared that il
view of the present low borrowings
from reserve bankers little could be
expected under the proposed rate and
i that the banks. probably would not take
advantage of the privilege of reds
counting farm paper at three and one
half percent if required to limit theil
interest charges to six percent. On
the other hand, others asserted that by
making a special agricultural rate
available farmers in some section:
where banks would make the neces
| sary loans would benefit.

FORD OFFER To BUY
SHOALS IS DEFENDED
BY FARM FEDERATION
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Replying
to criticism by Senator Harreld, of
Oklahoma, and other members of con-
gress that Henry Ford, in his pro
posed contract for taking over the
Muscle Shoals project, does not guar
antee to manufacture fertilizer, Gray
Silver, Washington representative OF
the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, today wrote them, calling atten-
ton to Section Is of the Ford offer,
which he quotes as stating that "the
manufacture, sale and distribution of
commercial fertilizers constitute one
of the principal considerations of this
offer"
Mr.. Silver declared this the most
important provision in the contract
and one the violation of which pro
vides grounds for the institution OF
proceedings by the attorney general
to cancel the entire lease.
Points Out Guarantee
mot only does Mr. Ford guarantee
to manufacture fertilizer, but he states
that he will make 10000 tons of nitro
gen, equal to one-fifth of our total an
nual consumption in fertilizer, and he
will do so with the most economical
power available" continues Mr.. Sill
ver's letter.
THE failure to make s per cent
profit or the failure to make any profit
or the inability TO manufacture this
fertilizer at less than it is sold, is not
"a cause beyond his CONTROL and would
not give him the right to cease the
manufacture of fertilizer.
Must Produce Fertilizer.
Mr.. Ford's proposal is to manu-
facture nitrogen and other Commercial
fertilizers, mixed or unmixed, ant
with or without filler, according Il
demand Other commercial fertiliz
, ers' must include phosphate or potash
fertilizers ingredients as distinguished
from nitrogen commercial fertilizers
Mr.. Ford will not fulfill his contrac
I if he does not produce other fertilizer
materials, such as potash and phos
pilates"
The methods of producing phos
phate fertilizers are well known" th'
! letter concludes, "and the source o
material is within 40 miles of the Mus
! Gle Shoals plant in the Tennessee,
/ phosphate fields, and there are grea
possibilities in the production of pot
ash from the potash shafes by the us'
of the electric furnace and from othe
| substances"

QUICK ACTION URGED
TO CURB COAL PROFITS
rRv limited Pressl

WASHINGTON. Aug 15.-Imme-
diate legislation by congress is neces-
sary if the federal government is to
curb the coal profiteers and insure an
equitable distribution of the limited
supply of fuel, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover declared today.
Efforts to control prices and dis
tribution through voluntary agree
ments are threatened with failure
due to the refusal of some coal op-
orators and other interests to CO.
operate, the secretary admitted.
Government reports show that coal
prices have scared considerably above
the $3.50 maximum price at the mines
which Hoover sought to put into eff
feet and it was emphasized that fast
action by congress is necessary.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. - The
brightest ray of light in the darkened
industrial situation appeared today
from the anthracite coal fields of
Pennsylvania, where persons in close

belief chances for a quick and salts
factory settlement of the long drawn

Definite results from the meeting in
Philadelphia tomorrow of Pennsyl-
vania operators with President John
L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers

about the conference, was authority
for the statement that there seems no
