INDIANA PLANS TO
REOPEN COAL MINES

indianapolis. Ind. July 27.--The
nature Of Governor McCray's plans for
taking over and operating coal mines
of Indiana in order to insure a suffi-
cient supply of fuel for State insti-
tutions was a subject of speculative in
terest today among persons interested
in the situation in the State. follow
ing the announcement by the Execu-
tive that arrangements for such action
were being made.
No announcement regarding the plans
under consideration for taking over the
mines has been made by the Governor,
but it is believed that it will be nee
essary to call out State troops to pro-
tect property If an attempt is made to
mine coal by employment of non union
workers. The calling out Of troops,
it has been suggested. will necessitate
the proclamation of martial law.

STATES MUST NINE
THEIR OWN COAL
Governors Are Informed Admin
istration viii Not Offer to
Help Slackers
STRIP PITS ARE AVAILABLE

Washington. July 27.-The Admin.
istration will NOT permit the Cover
nors Of coal producing States to
shirk any responsibility in furnishing
fuel to the people Of their States. II
the Governors fail to provide protection
70 enable the resumption Of coal pro.
duction in their States, they need not
look to the Federal Government for aid
under the priority program.
Secretary Weeks announced yesterday
the Government had information show
ing that Illinois, Indiana and Ohio had
sufficient coal in strip mines to care for
the public utilities Of those States.
Strip mines can be operated by steam
shovels. without the employment Of ex-
perienccd miners, he said.
Mr.. Weeks asserted the administra-
tion would not allow the Governors Of
those three great coal States to hide
behind State laws licensing miners as
plea for coal ALLEGATIONS from other
producing centers. If all Governors
out. the situation would be greatly
aggravated. In effect the Government
points to the action of Governor
Sproul in Pennsylvania. and says. Go
thou and do likewise"
Secretary Hoover also served notice
on the coal producing States that they
must look for relief first within their
own borders. He told officials Of the
Cleveland City government pleading for
coal priorities, that railroads would be
served first. The Governor Of Ohio,
he told them, should protect the strip
mines and insure the production OF
slack coal to supply the public utilities
of the State.
The Administration moved swiftly yes
terday to form the organization to carry
out the emergency coal program. Mr..
Hoover announced the President re-
Secretary Fall and Commissioner
Aitchson. of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. or their representatives to
act as a Coal Distribution Committee
under the temporary Craftsmanship of
the Secretary of Commerce.
A fifth member. who will undertake
the administrative direction, Mr..
Hoover said, would be added to the
committee later. 1t has been suggested
that DR.. Harry A. Garfield, fuel ad-
ministrator during the war and in the
coal strike Of 1919, may be asked to
take the place. but the President has
given no intimation Of his choice.
st. Louis, July 27.--(By A. P.)--
Frank Harrington, president Of the H.
lnois miners. today rescinded his call
for a State miners convention at Pc

will take any action against the ex-

fore the Executive Committee Of the
miners federation today for discussion.
Reports from coal fields indicate that
nothing viii! be done by the miners.
who. after a lean period in their in
dustry. are appreciating the stimulus
given to employment through the Amer
lean demand.
Welsh miners whose wages have been
at the minimum for seven months are
keenly mindful of the situation last
year, when American miners increased
their output to take advantage of the
British position due to the coal strike.
This alone. it is declared, would kill
any suggestion for action against the
expectation Of coal to America.
