ALL OPERATORS
TO ADOPT PLAN
Scale of 1917 Will Be Used
AS Basis for Price of
Coal Until Full Agree
ment Is Reached.
PROFITEERING WILL
BE DEALT A BLOW
Consumer, Miner, Operator
and Government Will Be
Represented.

WASHINGTON Plans to give ef
feet TO the scheme adopted by coal Cd.
orators in conference with Secretary
Hoover for preventing profiteering in
the price of bituminous coal supplied by
non-union and open shop mines dur.
Ing the present strike had been placed
under way today with the issuance OF a
call for general conference Of the op.
orators whose adherence to the scheme
is regarded as vital to its success.
hTe recommendation for general
conference of operators now producing
coal was drawn up by an information
committee OF the fifty odd operators
who met with Secretary Hoover in a
preliminary conference and gave their
approval TO plan under which prices
would be kept at a reasonable level by
placing distribution under the supervi.

each producing coal district. The com.
mittees would be made up of operators,
consumers, representatives and a gov.

posal that the price scale fixed by Fuel
Administrator Garfield in 1917. with
any necessary adjustments. should
serve roughly as the basis for price
agreements.

REPLIES To ALL
union Charges
Harrington Defends Lewis
and Tells Delegates of
Conditions in Illinois
District.

MUSKOGEE, Okla.-More arguments
on the merits of the international ad-
ministration Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America, marked the morning
Of the fifth day of the special conven-
tion Of district 81 in session here. Con.
tinulng the defense of International
President John l.. Lewis, D. A. Framp.
ton. an international organizer, opened
the debate and was followed in order
by Harry Fishwick and Frank Far.
rington, vice president respectively,
Of the Illinois district Of the miners
union.
Harrington drew perhaps the greatest
applause Of the convention, when, at
the beginning of his speech, he refer
red TO a charge that he had revealed
his belief before the beginning of the
present national strike that ii would
fail, and charged in return that his
statement had first been made public
by the reading in the convention here
Of the records Of the policy committee
which decided how the strike should be
conducted
After bringing up the subject Of his
alleged belief in the weakness Of the
strike policy, Harrington cited what he
said was proof that his opinion was well
founded. He declared his statement
that the policy would crumble," as
revealed by the record had been borne
out in that miners were working to u
large extent in Kentucky. Tennessee.
West Virginia and Georgia and that
coal was being shipped from these
fields to ST. Louis and Chicago in
greater amounts than the market
could absorb.
Referring to the making Of q separ.
ate contract between miners and op-
orators at Bridgeport in this district,
Harrington asserted that the course
may have been proper but that the ''of.
ficials Of this district had no right to
make an agreement until given permis.
sion by proper international authori.
ties"
Harrington declared In reply to an
allegation by Bittner that his district
had sent committees in(o districts
where they had no business" That
the Illinois miners were compelled to
take this means TO get the truth. Re
plying to another charge made by ad.
ministration speakers that he was jeal.
Gus of International President Lewis.
Harrington shouted that he was mot
an aspirant for the presidency OF the
international union. but intended t.
be candidate for reelection of the II.
limo district"
Harrington spoke several minutes af.
ter the usual time OF recesslng at noon,
the rule having been suspended TO per.
nit him to conclude.

Standardization of Styles And Simplicity in Design Feature
 Fashions For Men This Season

Another extreme idea which really had it's inception last Fall, but prob ably will be the vogue among Ger tain class of the dressers this Spring is the full trousers. By that we mean trousers that are shaped in equal full ness at the knees and bottom. Nor mally there is a three-inch discrep ancy at the bottom. This style fol lows the English idea to a large ex tent.
 Double-Breasted Popular
 The single and double-breGsted styles will. continue in popular de- mand with the former dominating the field. The double-breasted styles however, have increased with each year, because the makers shave put more style into them and have dis carded look like a sack as in seasons past.
 As a rule the coats for young men will continue to show the full-chested effects, but not quite as pronounced as in other years. While the skirts of the coats will be fairly long the flare has been discarded almost alto gether-at least it would be as per ceptible as in other years.
 Belted styles will be in popular favor with the wearers of sport clothes. Half and three-quarter belts will win the greatest vote. while the spring pleats. much like those worn in golf suits, will have>th call. There are various styles to these. Such Clothes will be worn a great deal moro in the Summer than in the Spring.
 Patch Pockets Win Favor
 Patch and plain pockets are to be favored, while the cresent-shape poe kets are taking back seat in the call again and it will be single-breast- ed. They will be very little In the style parade.
 The colarless vest will have the awy of trimmings except in the sport or novelty suits.
 Among the best patterns are those with stripes, but for business and gen. eral wear fancy silk worsted herring bones in gray, brown and blue mix lures will be the vogue as last year. Prominent among the newer styles are the so-called Mayflower stripes in shades of gray, oxford. blue and brown. They are made of pure wor' sted yarns, serviceable because of their all-year round weight.
 Checks which came in several years ago with a rush will be bought Ds wearers of sport models largely, but there will be such patterns shown in many of the more conservative Suits Shepherd plaids, herringbores in blue
