WASHINGTON, D.. c., July "a
Measures almost as drastic as those
used by the government during the
war viii be brought into play in deal
ing with the coal and mine strike, it
was believed here today
Issuance of an order declaring that
the dual mine and rail strike constt-
tuted a national emergency, within
the meaning of section 402 Of the
transportation act was expected form
the interstate commerce commission.
Issuance of this decree would result
in strong action being taken by the
government to protect the public inter
ests. The administration in the con-
templated step is expected to treat
the two emergencies as one.
Government Plan
The plan contemplated by the gov
ernment includes the two following
steps:
l. Governmental direction of the
railroads and control of the distribu-
ton and price of coal
2. Seizure and operation of the
mines.
The government new and sweep
ing move will be made within two
days if the strikers and the employers
do not manifest willingness to set
tie their dispute, ore leading Repub-
Ecan senator said.
Assurances have been given the exc
cutive that any additional powers
needed can be voted by congress in the
near future.
One of the first steps under consid-
Grafton is said TO be priority orders
for the shipment of coal to New Eng
land, and the northwest, where the

INSTITUTIONS SHORT
tBv Assoclated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-Governor
McCray today declared war on coal
profiteers in Indiana who, he said, are
attempting to extort exorbitant prices
from Indiana consumers as a result of
the fuel shortage developing from the
situation.
The governor declared the people of
the state should be aroused against the
profteers.
No reply was received by the gov
ernor to a second telegram to John
Hossler of Terre Haute, president of
District No. Ii of United Mine Work
ers Of America, requesting the miners
chief to reconsider his refusal to per-
NIT the scale committee of the miners
organization to meet in joint confer
ence with the Sealy committee of the
operators at the governors Office Tues
day morning.
The people of Indiana, said a state
ment from the governor, "are not so
much concerned over the points at is
sue between the contending factions as
they are TO know that coal which is
one OF the essentials of modern cilivi-
zation is forthcoming.
Tired of Bickerinq
They cannot understand why up-
wards of 100000 should be incon-
venienced and threatened with starva-
ton and discomforts while the con-
tenders are quarreling over some tech
nical points"
Attention Of the governor was di-
rected toward the alleged activities of
coal profiteers now by a report that
Terre Haute coal company had
quoted price of $1190 ton on mine
run coal delivered from Dayton, Ohio.
Governor McCray called Sumner
Lener, assistant attorney general, into
the conference to discuss legal steps
which may be taken against coal prof
iteers. Some of the state institutions
have less than a weeks supply on
hand. The institutions, it was said,
are confronting a serious fuel situa-
ton.
