this year, the community may re-

than last, due to the increased

year they will, in all probability
be paid prices ranging from $50 to

Although more pears will be
taken from the trees this year
than last, the crop will yet be
short of normal This is due to
the fact that cold weather was

About 220 tons of pears will be

Washington, July 2O-(By the
Associated Press) The center of
developments in the coal strike was
steadily shifting today away from
Washington and out into the coal
fields, where the policy of the gov
ernment Involving re-opening of
the mines under state or federal
protection will be tested.
Responses were yet to come from
several governors to President Hard
ing's appeal for cooperation in in

White House officials expressed
qualification over the responses
thus received, only Governor Nor
rison of North Carolina, of the 10
governors who had replied up to
noon today, refused absolutely the
cooperation the President asked, it
was pointed out by officials. The
nine governors who had not yet re-
piled, were expected to send their
responses within the next "a hours.
Attitude Unchanged
John l.. Lewis, chief of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, was preparing to
leave Washington today after near
1y a month of conferences with
government officials and operators.
"The mine workers attitude is un-
changed" said Mr.. Lewis. "Our
people are determined to continue
the strike until the principle of
collective bargaining and past pro-
cedure in the industry are recogniz-
ed.
"Our ranks are unbroken and will
continue SO. The threat of military
operations will not alter the prin-
ciple or bring any satisfactory re-
suits to the suffering public"
Referring to the repeated sugges-
tion that the miners union might
now call out the pumpmen and
maintenance workers guarding the
idle mines in the union districts,
Mr.. Lewis said:
Labor's Hardest Battle
1.-THE miners will continue to act
in law abiding manner, but un-
der no circumstances will any of
our maintenance men continue to
work with strike4breakers or in
mines where tipples are flanked
with machine guns or artillery
units"
Mr.. Lewis describes the present
strike as the "severest struggle IN
which the labor movement had ever
engaged" i
He pointed out that the union had
now been conducting a strike for
16 weeks.
