United States entomologist connect
ed with the Maine Forestry Depart
ment, returned about IL O'Clock
Thursday night from "a three-days
trip cover east, trip so strenuous
in activity that they have shaken
hands on an agreement never to at
tempt it again.
The object of the trip was a series
of meetings with the land owners OF
the different watersheds. The party
left Augusta on the 1.24 A. NJ, Pull
man Tuesday morning, sitting up all
night, being unable to secure berths,
and arriving at Houlton, at y. Nj.
An all-day meeting was held with
the land owners of the st. John water
shed and the train taken at O'CLOCK
that evening for Bangor, which was
reached at II that night. An all
day meeting was held in Bangor on
Wednesday WIFI luc ShObSNSS
watershed land owners and the trio
managed to get to bed fairly early.
It was $50 Thursday morning
however, when they were routed out
to take the train for Machias to meet
the land owners of the Union. Ma
chias, Naraguagus and St CroiX wa
tersheds and after that, they lett by
train for home, arriving here at
IL o'clock that night.
That might indicate a fairly good
reason why they have shaken hands
on the compact mentioned.
The subjects discussed at the meet

and included: Fire protection for

F, additional lookout towers; more tel

MAXIMUM PRICES
FIXED FOR COAL
AGREEMENTS REACHED WITH
COMMITTEES REPRESENTING
FIELDS UNDER PLAN ADOPT
Ed ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
BY SECRETARY HOOVER.

Washington, June Maximum
fair prices for spot coal in five dis
tricts were announced tonight by
Secretary Hoover after reaching
agreements with committees repre-
senting those fields, under the plan
adopted at the general conference
of operators from producing fields
for preventing runaway prices on
coal at the mines during the strike.
It was determined that in the
Alabama district the fair price
should be Is cents below the ''final
Garfield scale" or a maximum of
1920 a ton to $3.50 ton.
On the Harlan and Hazard fields
of Tennessee and Kentucky, and the
Pocohontas, New River, Tug River
and Winding Gulf coal fields (smoke
less coal districts of West Virginia)
the maximum price was fixed at
$3.50 a ton.
Costs of production have been
reduced in the Alabama field since
the final Garfield scales were deter
mined, Mr.. Hoover explained. The
operators, he said, emphasized that
the price set was a maximum; that
anyone might sell below it, and that
long contracts for coal are neces-
sarily below the levels set today. In
the other districts, he declared, pro-
duction costs have increased since
the Garfield scale and that scale in
cluded contract coal which now
sells below the new maximum. The
operators are to absorb a reason
able selling expense at the new
prices, Secretary Hoover said.
Fair prices for the remaining
fields which are producing during
the strike are to be fixed tomorrow
after conferences between Mr.. Hoo
yer and committees representing
those districts which were appoint
ed after the general meeting today.
The plan adopted at the general
meeting calls for agreements be-
tween Mr.. Hoover and the different
committees upon fair prices for
coal at the mines in their respective
districts, based upon the Garfield
scale as modified by local conditions.
Moral suasion will be relied upon by
Mr.. Hoover to keep the agreements
in force for the duration of the
strike, it was indicated.

THE GOVERNMENT
COTTON REPORT

The report on the condition of
cotton on May 25th issued by the
government was given out this
morning as 69.6. The figures were
a little higher than expected by the
trade, but seemed to have little or
no influence on the market. Some
idea of how the local traders ex-
pected the, figures to 60 may be
had from the following guesses
registered at the Peoples Bank this
morning:
