WASHINGTON. June 2.-Haying
obtained agreement among operators
producing so per cent of the bitumin-
Gus coal now being mined to restrict
prices to maximum of $3.50 a ton
for the duration of the strike. Secre-
tary Hoover was understood today to
be considering a conference of whole
sale and retail coal dealers to discuss
means of insuring the public the bene-
tits of the price agreements.
Definite plans for the conference
are yet to be determined, it was said
at the department of commerce. The
general proposal is to obtain the CO.
operation of the two classes of deal
ers
In making this announcement of CO.
operation Secretary Hoover said he re
GREETED that small minority of the
perators-represent western Ken
tucky-had refused to cooperate and
were demanding $4.25 a ton, a price
which he said he did not feel justified
in advising the public to accept. al
though production costs were higher
I there than in other fields The con
ferences with Pennsylvania operators
have been arranged for next week, he
said. The $3.50 maximum has been ac-
cepted by the operators of Virginia
West Virginia, Tennessee and eastern
/ Kentucky. Mr.. Hoover said he had
been informed, while the rate of 25
| cents a ton below the Garfield scale
has been accepted by the Alabama
operators.
In purchasing spot coal-the prices
not affecting coal under contract-con
sumeTs can insure themselves a square
! deal. Mr.. Hoover said, by checking
freight rates together with the max
imum price established and makins
proper allowance for retail distribu
tion cost. Consumers not receiving
fair treatment as to prices may appea
to the department of commerce, he
said, with assurance that an inquiry
into their cases will be instituted.

attention SHIFTS
TO SOUTH AMERICA
IN BOUNDARY FUSS

WASHINGTON. June 2.-The center
of attention in the Chilean-PeTuvian
conference here again shifted to South
America in anticipation Of important
decisions there on the central issues
of the negotiations
Although even the delegates pro-
fessed ignorance as to the trend the
discussions might take when both
sides had heard from home, there was
an impression in most quarters that
the next step probably would come
from Chile. Some form of counter
proposal generally was expected in re-
sponse to the Peruvian plan to arbi-
trate whether a plebiscite should be
held in the disputed province of
Tacna-Arica.
-tll outward signs, however, pointed
TO Chilean insistence that the plebisc-
| ite be held and that the arbitration be
confined to tn emethod of carrying ii
! into effect. In the same way there
was every indication that Peru never
would accept the plebiscite unless q
disinterested arbitrator held it to be
feasible. AS a consequence there was
revival of speculation over possible in
tervention by the United States to pre-
vent a dead lock.
When the conference is to NEE
| again is uncertain and depends on re
! ceipt of further instructions by the
delegates
