Favorable reaction to the govern
ment's efforts to stimulate coal pro-
duction despite the miners strike was
seen today in figures assembled by

of coal loaded on Monday at operat
ing mines as compared with $3.50
cars last Saturday, and with a daily
average Of 10,S1f cars during the six
working days previous to Saturday.
With the federal machinery for
emergency control of coal distribution
completed by President Hardng's ap-
pointment of a central committee of
departmental heads, the government
today looked to the states for the
necessary cooperation to put the
scheme into effective operation.
Immediately after being named
chairman of the governmental COM
mittee yesterday Secretary Hoover.
at the request of the President, asked
state governors to set up the neces-
sary organization in each state Tor
insuring equitable distribution and
the maintenance of fair prices for
coal under the administrations plan.
This organization. he said, was to as
sumo responsibility for all distribu-
ton within the boundary of each
state except to railways
At the same time the cooperation
Of the several transportation regula-
tory bodies was requested by Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Aitchi-

Say, in Brief.

Capt. Oyster and Col. Keller. two

through Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Ringgold Hart. filed in the Dis
trict Supreme Court an answer TO the

DR.. Lewis a. Griffith to be reinstated

being on his vacation.
Former District Commissioner w.
GWynn Gardiner. representing Dr.
Gritfi;h. asked the court for new
rule on MIR. Rudolph. saying he was
desirous Of having the iatter's answer
in the record. Mr.. Hart sought an
immediate hearing. but when the
court had acceded to the request OF
Mr.. Gardiner asked that the nearing
be deferred until fall. Justice Hoeh-
ling set the matter for hearing Octo-
ber 6. Mr.. Hart said he was ready.
anxious and willing TO proceed at
once"
The two Commissioners deny that
the removal of DR.. Griffith was actu-
ated in any way by politics. and de-
clare that the new legislation con-
cerning the office made necessary its
development and improvement and the
position now calls for an expert OF
the highest standing in insurance
matters. While they admit that Or.
Griffith performed the duties of his
office of the best of his ability. the
two Commissioners say they did not
and do not consider his qualifications
such as to justify his retention as
superintendent of insurance
The claim is made on the part OF
the two Commissioners that the en-
Iloyes of the District are not pro-
tected in their positions by the civil
service law and have no vested in
terest in the retirement fund which
would prevent their removal at the
will of the Commissioners. 1t is
pointed out that the retirement law
provides that an employe may re-
cover the portion of his salary which
has been deducted for the retirement
fund upon leaving the service, with
per cent interest compounded. DR..
Griffith is at liberty to recover such
moneys as have been thus deducted
from his salary, the court is advised.
