OTHER PLANTS WILL
NOT FOLLOW FORD

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Industry in
general does not plan to follow the lead
Of Henry Ford in closing down plants
because of the coal shortage and pre-
vailing prices of fuel, survey made by
the United Press showed today.
Some plants, however, have already
curtailed operations or plan to do so
soon. The packing plants, largest in.
dustry of Chicago, report they are opcr
ating 60 per cent on oil and 40 per cent
on coal. Armour Is manager said that
in case Of total lack of coal, he could
operate the plant entirely with oil.
This same condition, he stated, applies
to other packers.
From Harrisburg, Pa. comes the re-
port that the steel industry there il
curtailed not only because Of the coal
shortage, but also due. to the railroad
strike. a,. s-s4,
Other than the Ford plants, there will
be no shutdown and very little, curtail-
ment in Houston, Tex, and Oklahoma
City, Okla.
Kansas City, another packing center
is operating on a slightly curtailed
basis.

Stork Loses Great
Race Across Desert

and everlastingly beat any blame storl
that ever storked.
The Ford party took charge of the
minister's car, while he and his wife
piled in with Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer
and the race was on once more. Spen
Ger busted about every section of the
speed laws forward and backwards on
the way into Ell Centre, spurred on by
the grinning figure of the stork who
kept few yards in front of the ear
until the limits of FL Centre were
reached.
Stork Three Minutes Late
Here Spencer's car showed what it
could do when called upon in the name
of humanity, and with 4 rush and a
roar it passed the bird and whizzcd
through the streets to the hospital.
DR.. l.. c. House was on hand to act
as referee and about three minutes
after the McCourtneys arrived, the
stork, badly windcd, but still flying
fast, hove ON the scene and was de-
clared out. In spite of his dirty work
along the race course, he showed him.
self to be a pretty good sport, and paid
his loss with Il lovely little girl, and
was forgiven gladly by her parents
for the things ne had tried to do TO
them. DR.. House said today he had
heard Of such races before, and this was
the first one he had been called upon
to decide, and he hoped it would be
the last, such close decisions being cX-
ceedingly trying on the referee.

After more than two months of APP
parent inactivity, special Williamsoa
county grand jury called by Judge d.
T. Hartwell, assembled today TO probe
the union mine war in which 81 strike
breakers and two members of tha
United Mine Workers were slain.
Indictments returned will probably
total more than 100, according to Attor-
ney General Edwin b. Brundagee.
Members of the jury were charged by
Judge Hartwell in today's initial ses-
sion followed by addresses by Brun-
dagee and Delos Duty, prosecuting at
torney.
Sheriff Melvin Thaxton will probably
be the first witness. 1t was Thaxton

Old Doctor Stork put on 4 wild race
with an automobile last night, starting
at Laguna and ending at the Ell Centre
hospital, with the auto winner by q
very few minutes.
The Rev. j. A. McCourtney and
wife, of Brawley, have been visiting
at Laguna for several weeks and as
the stork was seen hovcring around
their summer home, they decided to re.
turn to Brawley. After the Mountain
Springs grade had been passed, the
generally welcome bird began to make
himself unpopular by suggesting race
and the good minister took him up,
sending his Overland forward at "full
speed ahead" Near Dixieland, the
stork, fearing he would lose, threw q
monkey wrench into the Overland s
machinery and halted it out on the
desert, miles from any help.

HOOVER WARNS
CONGRESS FUEL
FAMINE IS NEAR
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Secre
tary of Commerce Hoover appeared
before the house interstate commerce
| committee today and urged immediate
lpassage of the Winslow and Crmmin.
bills, designed to check profitcering in
coal.
Warming that the country will suffer
n severe fuel famine this winter, no
matter how soon normal coal produc-
tion is restored, Hoover declared that
enactment of legislation depriving
gouging coal operators of ears in which
70 ship their products would enable
.hc government to make the best of a
"verv bad situation.
Senate Committee Favors Bill
While Hoover was before the house
committee, the senate interstate com
mcrcc committee ordered favorable
report on the Cummins bill.
LEGISLATION empowering President
Harding to take over and operate an
'hraeite coal mines and. certain coal
CARRYING roads has been 1sidctracked
temporarily and probably will not be
pressed in congress this week, it was
stated officially here today.
Growing optimism in official circles
that a settlement Of the hard coal
strike is near and increasing opposi
ton in congress to seizue legislation at
the present time caused the change in
administration plans as announced
by Senator Cummins last week.
Coal May Precede Food
1t was indicated that a new program
for the greater expedition of coal
shipments was being framed. Coal may
be given priority ahead of foodstuffs,
mail and passenger service on the
transportation systems of the country.
1t became apparent today that other
strike legislation, including the bill to
create n federal commission to invest
igatc the mining industry and the
measure broadening powers of the in
tcrstatc commerce commission so that
it may ban profiteering coal from in
terstate commerce, faces stiff resist.
ance from minority in both houses
and its enactment probably will be

100000 MEN
ASK RAISE

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Four hun
men appealed to the railroad labor
board today for minimum wage
of 81, 1854 year for each man.
In order to obtain this wage, the
maintenance men must be paid at
the rate of 48c an hour, President
Cradle of the maintenance men, ex-
planned in statement to the board.
Cradle said the labor board made
"a colossal blunder'' in establish
ing the present wage scale on too
low basis.
He quoted figures from minimum
wage awards allowed by the federal
bureau of labor statistics and the
conference board of Detroit. :.
The Detroit board fixed S1,583.34
as a minimum while the bureau of
labor statistics declared that S1,975
year was the lowest living wage.
Some additional earnings are pos
sible from overtime work, Grabel
admitted, but insisted that such
earnings were not equal to the
amount lost through sickness, slack
work or layoffs.
Grabel also demanded time and
one half for overtime work.
The 4S>cents basic wage should
be paid to men receiving less than
% cents all hour now," he said
Those receiving more than 2S
cents should have differential in
cents above % cents added to the
new minimum rate

warfare, with a possibility of complied
tions still more serious, is under way
today with the city of San Diego on
one side and the San Diego electric rail
way, owned by John d. and Adolph B.
Sprcckels, on the other.
The war started Saturday night when
the street car company put 800 men 70
work at midnight tearing up Adams
avenue tracks.
Mayor John l.. Bacon placed the
chief engineer in charge under arrcs:
and stopped the work.
The company, which has been fight
ing street paving between its tracks,
contended that the council intended t.
force it to pave the Adams avenue line.
Practically the entire line within the
city limits was destroyed before the
mayor arrived with police to stop the
work. One irate citizen, Walter c.

block with q revolver until the mayor
arrived.
Mayor Bacon next summoned the
council to a special meeting and legal
lied jitnev buses, barred by city ordin-
ance in 1915. This was in order to
legalize the buses installed by the street
ear company to replace the Adams ave

The. city contends that the company
acted without legal authority IN aban
doning its franchise; in tearing up city
streets and in installing iitney buses.
1t intends to fight through the courts
to have service restored, according to
city officials today.
A special election has been called for
October 90 to vote upon the proposition
of relieving the street ear company OF
