Mine PACT WILL
Hoover Says IF Miners Return
at Once No Serious Con-
ditiOn Is Ahead.
WILL ASK LEGISLATION
Anthracite Farley Adjourns
Until Today - Outcome
Believed Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-CBy A.
P.).-Early resumption OF coal pro-
duction in union fields covered by
the Cleveland agreement was looked
TO today by the administering to
avert fuel troubles throughout next
winter.
If the miners in those fields re-
turn TO work within the next few
days. Sec'y Hoover declared. there
should be no serious shortage Of
coal during the winter although
there may be some minor incon-
veniences. Production OF approx
mately 100000 tons Of coal
weekly. made up of about four
ffths bituminous and One-fifth an
thracite. will be needed according
10 Federal Distributor Spencer.
Need Legislative Action
Even with adequate production,
Mr.. Hoover asserted, action by con-
gress Will be necessary to provide
federal rrice control temporarily,
10 facilitate the distribution of an
thracite md to supply the needs Of
the northwest
with the resumption of mining, -
he said. the price situation will be
quickly over While there will be
some control Of distribution and
prices necessary temporarily. the
matter will quickly adjust itself
Collapse of the fair price agree
ments made with producing Oper-
ators, however, when union mines
resume production was indicated by
Mr.. Hoover. There would be then
75 or so districts, ne explained, TO
hold into line as 10 prices by volun-
tary means which would be an in
/ feasible machine" considering the
difficulty experienced with the mines
now in the Price agreements.
Remarkable showing
Nevertheless, MI Hoover de-
clared, the results of the fair price
agreements thus far have consti-
tuted a remarkable showing with
20 per cent of the coal now moving
being handled under the estao-
lished maximum of from $500 TO
lS27O a ton Difficulties indhe price
situation, he asserted, arose from
the osher 80 per cent, which gave
rise to charges of profiteering while
operators observing the agreements
vAre passing up from IS 10 $40 on
every ton of coal sold.
Emergency price control leglsia-
ton. which it is understood, Pres
! Harding Will suggest in his message
I to congress tomorrow, would apply
only to coal moving in interstate
