COAL PRICE PLAN
OPENS BIG FIGHT
Vigorous Opposition in Both
Houses to Administrations
Measure.
SENATORS STRONGLY OPPOSED
Leaders Express Doubt of Their Abil-
ity to Get the Bill Through the
Senate-Hoover Goes Ahead
With Plans.

Washington, Aug 29.-Vigorous OPP
veloped to the administration bills for
coal price regulation in the present
fuel emergency.
Senate opposition was so pronounced
when the Cummins bill was considereb
before the senate interstate commerce
committee that even administration
leaders expressed doubt Of their ability
to get the measure through the senate.
The bill was ordered reported without
a record vote, after various senator's
had manifested strong disapprOval of
it's terms
Opposition to the Winslow bill in the
house was voiced at the hearing before
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce. After several hours of
examining witnesses the committee
considered the bill in executive SEES
sion. 1t later was reported out ia
vorably,
Hoover Goes Ahead With Plans.
Meanwhile the administration,
through Secretary Of Commerce HOov-
er and the interstate commerce com
mission, is going ahead with plans to
meet the emergency with temporary
measures pending legislation and with
the expectation that the bills before
congress will receive favorable consid-
Grafton.
Secretary Hoover appeared before
the house committee as administration
spokesman in urging the necessity Of
the proposed price control legislation.
The present coal emergency, he said,
must continue in all events for 60 days
and possibly six months and that
eventually the government may be
forced to set up Coal zones in order
to perfect distribution. He added there
was no prospect Of a complete shut
down of industry as during the war to
conserve fuel
The need of bituminous coal during
the winter will be 100000 tons
week" the secretary declared. "The
movement to the upper lakes is now
100000 tons behind and the only
hope of saving the situation in the
Northwest is to perceptibly increase
shipment there within the next few
weeks. We are 100000 tons behind
in anthracite production"
No Sign of Settlement.
Hope of an immediate settlement of
the anthracite coal strike was expected
by Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania
upon his return from Philadelphia
after holding conferences with John L.
Lewis, head Of the coal miners Organi-
Zation and Samuel D. Warmer chair
man of the anthracite operators poll
cies committee.
1t is understood that the two points
on which the parties to the contro-
versy are split are those of arbitration
and the wage scale. Lewis is reported
as being opposed to anything that
savors Of compulsory arbitration on
the one hand, and holding out for an
extension of the pre-strike wage until
April l, 1924, instead of 1923, ms first
proposed. Operators are believed to
be unwilling to extend the wage scale
for so long a period, but it is Senator
Peppers opinion that they will get to-
gether on this and the other points in
dispute.

Governor of State Advised by Assist

and 20 Aliens Pershed in
the Deep Shaft.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug 29.-Latest
reports to the state department of for
estry from Jackson indicate that 81
miners, 81 of whom are Americans, lost
their lives in the Argonaut mine there,
1t was learned through telegram sent
to Governor Stephens by W. ID. Rider,
assistant state forester.
Governor Stephens telegraphed the
state forestry department to render all
aid in the departments power to the
entrapped miners.
Rider telegraphed in reply:
In reply to your telegram, have
communicated direct with the district
attorney of Amador county extending
your offer of help. He advises more
assistance is at hand than can be used.
Have sent in a state ranger to keep in
touch with conditions and advise us if
any aid can be rendered. Latest re-
ports indicate that 81 men have lost
their lives, 81 of whom are Ameri-
cans"
Discovered by Workers.
Jackson, Cal, Aug 29.-The fire in
the Argonaut gold mine was discov-
cred shortly after midnight when Clar-
enCe Bradshaw and two other miners
left their companions on the 4,5OO-fOot
level and started for the surface. When
they reached the 3000-foot level they
found it blazing. They made a mad
dash through the flames and arrived
safely ut the surface.
Bradshaw and his two companions
were unconscious when they reached
the surface. 1t required two minutes
for their cage to pass through the
burning levels. They never expected
TO reach the surface alive. The fumes
We're deadly, they said, and the crack
ling timbers of the mine an inferno,
Normally 500 men are employed at
the mine and had the fire broken out
In daytime about $50 would have been
trapped.
The smallest shift works at night.
Shift Boss Bradshaw explained that
an odor of burning wood attracted his
attention, and it was to investigate this
that he left the 4,5OO-foot level ahead
of the rest of his gang.
All available help from surround
Ing mines has been secured, but little
can be done in the way of combating
the flames, which may burn fiercely for
days.
The one hope entertained Of getting
the trapped miners out alive is through
the Kennedy mine, which runs parallel
to the incline shaft of the Argonaut
mine,
Believed Dead.
However, the entrapped miners may
not live to be rescued in this fashion.
In fact, experienced miners held grave
fears That they are already dead.
The huge air pipes which supply the
mine pass through the same shaft in
which the flames are raging. There
Is only chance that they have with
stood the blazing inferno and are still
carrying fresh air to the lower levels.
A stream of gas and smoke is pour
ing from the mine opening-a fairly
good omen to the experienced miners,
although terrifying to those who have
loved ones below. 1t signifies that the
great part of the fumes are coming
above instead of spreading below the
earth.

AT THE QUEEN.

ures on the Queen Theatre program
OF current presentation.
The story of the film was an
original one furnished by s. Somer-
set Vaughan as his first direct con-
tribution to the screen. The noted
English author has furnished an
intricate story OF a young woman
who allowed her blindness TO real
love 10 hinder her enjoyment OF
happiness.
The feature scheduled for first
presentation at the Queen Theatre
next week is a humorous concoction
OF human life listed as els Matri-
mony a failure"
The picture is not serious for one
minute. II Is devoted to the why's
and wherefores Of married life and
is entirely in an innocent satirical
vein, making laughing jests at the
eccentricities OF some married
couples-their Independence and
their dependencies.
