Coal Dealers Meet Hoover.

Washington, d. C.-Members OF the
National Retail Coal Merchants as.
ISOLATION conferred with Secretary
Hoover On a plan for securing the
cooperation of the retail coal deal
ers of the country to insure to the
public the benefits Of the maximum
prices for coal at the mines, estab.
lished last week with operators in
more than 80 per cent of the present
producing fields for the duration OF
the strike. At this conference, and
one later in the week with represent.
atives of the wholesale coal trade, il
is expected that an arrangement
similar to that adopted with the
operators will be worked out so thai
by means of price committees in diff
ferent sections Of the country, the
various branches of the industry can
be linked in passing on to the consum
er the prices agreed upon.

BORAH MAY PUSH THE
QUIZ ON COAL PRICES
IDAHO Senator Assured by Secretary
that He viii DO His Utmost TO
Prevent Soaring Values.

Washington, ID. c. Congressional
Investigation Of prices charged by
bitumious coal operators and retailers
was promised by Senator Borah, OF
Idaho. chairman Of the senate labor
| committee, at a conference with Sec
rotary Hoover, OF the department OF
commerce., if the basic price scale es-
tablished at conferences between Mr..
Hoover with committees Of producing
operators is made the basis for prof
iteering.
Secretary Hoover was said to have
assured Senator Borah that in further
conferences with operators and deal
ers he would do his utmost to prevent
profiteering and to obtain price adj
justments to protect the public, and
Senator Borah was understood to
have agreed to withhold any investi-
cation pending the outcome Of Mr..
Hoover's actian.
1t was said that at the conference,
which was held at Senator Borah's
residence, at the instance OF the com
merce secretary, the question of gov
| ernmental action for bringing about a
settlement OF the strike was not dis
Cussed.
The subject discussed between Sec
rotary Hoover and Senator Borah
were said to have been the price
agreements negotiated through Mr.
Hoover and possible congressional
action, including legislation. It was
said that Senator Borah had no desire
to interfere with Mr.. Hoover's price
negotiations so long as they were no
made We means for charging exces
sive prices. But it was said Senator
Borah had questioned the legality OF
the Hoover price agreement.
The conference lasted an hour. II
was understood that Mr.. Hoover would
proceed forthwith to securing adjust
meut of prices based on a maximum
price OF $3.50 a ton, and also to take
steps to prevent operators from
charging unreasonable prices to re
tailers. Following the conference
Senator Borah made the following
statement:
my position at the conference to-
night was simply this: II the operators
and retailers work together and will
cooperate to protect the public in the
matter of prices, / should not favor at
this time any Investigation, and would
let this price proposition work itself
out, il 1t will.
But If the maximum which has
been fixed by Mr.. Hoover is going to
be used by the operators as a mini
mum price anu thus pushed ON to the
retailers. and the operators and re
tailers together take advantage Of the
situation to boost the price to the
public, l would favor an investigation
to force a complete exposition with
view to laying the foundation fol
public control"

LABOR UNION LEADER is
RiDDLED WITH BULLETS
Police, However, Are Unable to Get
Clew or Even a Description Of
the Three Assassins.

Chicago.-Fifty children, playing in
the street during the noon recess wit
messed the killing Of Tony Ab.nati,
treasurer and business agent Of the
T~racklayers, Construction and Repair
Labor union. Three men walked up
to him, emptied their magazine pistols
into his body and fastened away. AS
they departed two Of the ~murderers
hurled their pistols at the head of the
writing victim. They Sauntered
leisurely through an alley to a waiting
automobile and were driven away.
Although dozens Of people in the
district saw the murder, the police are
unable to get any clew or even a
description of the murderers. This is
typical of the district, which is but a
stones throw from the notorious
murder corner, where more than 80
persons have been slain in recent
years.
Abinati was so years old, married
and had two small daughters. When
his wife was told he had been killed,
she exclaimed: THE fools, they got
him at last She then became hys
~terical and refused to give any infor.
nation. She said, however, that her
husband had not received any black
hand letters. so it is believed he was
the victim of some internal labor
trouble.

PRESIDENT PLEADS
FOR ADEQUATE ARMY
Urges Retention of Provisions for
Officers, Enlisted Personnel and
National Guard.

Washington, d. president Hard
ing in a letter to Chairman " lrren, Of
the senate appropriations committee,
urged retention in the army appro-
priation bill of provisions for officers,
enlisted personnel and the national
guard voted by the senate, and op
posed the smaller provisions Of the
house bill.
The president said he thought the
day might come when the army and
military forces generally could be
further reduced, but added that for
that time, I'VE must await fuller
readjustment and more stable con
ditions."
Il feel" he wrote, that the develop.
ment Of our national defense system
under the national defense act is of
the utmost importance, and | am sat
isfied that the allowances made rep
resent the minimum under which even
the most conservative and modest
program of development is possible"
The presidents letter was received
at the capitol simultaneously with the
beginning Of the conferences between
house and senate delegations on the
bin and served to bolster the senate
conferees who went into the negotia-
tons backed by q two to one vote OF
their body in support of the larger
army.
Mr.. Harding expressed the fear that
were the house provisions to prevail,
the training and progress Of the
whole defense system would seriously
be impaired. He declared that this
particularly would be true if any cut
vas made in the senate appropriation
for the national guard. The house
provisions, the executive said, was so
small that it would result in denyino
the benefits Of summer training to
many of the guard, and he therefore
supported the senate item of SO $780,
600 as against the house provision Of
$4,000, 900.
Provision for training a limited
number of reserve officers also il
essential, Mr.. Harding declared, if
anything is to be made of that branch.
The president added that he regretted
there was nOt a greater provision
made for giving them training than
was offered even in the senate amend,
ments. "as the government has thus
far done nothing to encourage them in
their voluntary services He de,
clared, however, that the senate pro,
visions did offer the basis for the be-
ginning of training and would allow
10000 of the 60, 000 men to have 10
days of the training while under the
house allowance nothing worth
while could be done"
