his professional work, but failed to
realize that he was now q soldier.
He forgot the sacred morning

exasperated everybody. Finally

coal being produced in spite of the
bituminous miners strike reached an
agreement today with Secretary
Hoover upon an administration plan
for preventing proiteering and high
coal prices during the period the in
dustry remains partially tied up.
The scheme, adopted only after
some tense moments in open debate
during which Mr.. Hoover told the OBJ
erators-assembled in response to
President Hardings invitation-that
the coal industry would either gov
ern itself or the government would
govern it, was drawn up in a formal
statement by committee of the oper-
ators present for reference to Attor-
ney General Daugherty., The COM
mittee also issued a call for another
and larger gathering CT operators to
ratify the plan and to bring the COM
mittee organization into being.
The plan will require the creation
of clearing house committees in each
producing coal district, made up of
operators, consumers representatives
and government agent. who will su-
pervise distribution OF orders for coal.
will see that coal is sold direct to
consumers, and that prices are rea-
sonable. A general committee in
Washingtn of the same type will OBJ
tain coordination between the district
committees Mr.. Hoover assured the
meeting, which was attended by more
than SO operators, that the plan would
be voluntary and temporary" He
also proposed that the scale of prices
fiyed by fuel Administrator Garfield
IN 1917 with such adjustments as may
be necessary. should serve as the
rough basis for price agreements.
The conference hung momentariIy
at this point but unanimous agree
ment was eventually secured. Mr..
Hoover asserted there would be no
difficulty in securin.; public opinion
for plan of getting the public
enough coal and cheaper COAL" even
though it should involve temporary
price restraints.
The chief task, he said. would be
to penetrate the entire body" of 1900
operators with the plan agreed upon.
In 1920, he added, ''in a somewhat
similar situation" nothing had been
done until prices got from 50 to SIS a
ton, while today they were generally
from $50 to SO per ton. with $3.50 be-
ing reached in some districts"

AUGUSTA OVER TOP
IN 3-DAY drive FOR
$4,000 "W FUND

The ~ campaign Is over-'way
over, and the necessary $4,000 is
raised and some to spare. This was
assured Thursday evening when the
various divisions which have been can
vassing the city during the week met
to check up and make their final re-
ports. When these had all been given,
the score-keeper announced the final
amount as $1O,212.2S. The keenest of
competition evidenced during the en-
tire campaign was between the di-
visions of boys and girls, each of
which made three separate reports
during~ThLrsday evening" each raising
the other a bit. When the final count
was called it was found that the girls
had gone ahead of the boys by little
more than $50.
Another contest productive of some
fun and more cash was that between
the two divisions of men, which helped
materially to swell the grand total.
The women's division had led each
day in the amount of money reported
ana WAS TdlueF out OIL COM
rotition. Tie main result, however, is
that tho $4,000 has been raised. the
Y. NJ. c. A. can discharge all it's fl
nancial obligations and do some of the
new things it has wanted to do for
the boys and girls of Augusta, and ev-
erybody is happy. Everybod who has
worked to help raise the money is
glad to have done it and will take an
added interest in the "Y" henceforth
everybody who has contributed toward
the fund has the satisfaction of
knowing that he or she has had a part
in helping to render a necessary serv-
ice to one of the city's most valued
institutions.
One of the most beautiful of all the
gifts received was 500 from veteran
at the National Home who asked that
he might be allowed to give this
amount as he said he felt it would dc
more good here than anywhere else
he could place it.
