ONE OF THE WORST wEEK-ENDs IN THE EXPERIENCE OF BELFAST

Belfast. March 21 (By the A. P0-
 This has been one of the worst week
 ends in the experience of the city. Shoot
 ings, incendiarism, bombing and out
 rages generally have been exceptionally
 numerous. The fire brigade responded
 to seven calls between Saturday evening
 and Sunday morning. In some cases
 bombs were thrown into buildings.
 The exact number of deaths is not
 known, but it is believed they will reach thirteen bringing the total deaths by shooting during the past week up to thirty-fve. In addition many persons have been treated for gunshot wounds in hospitals.
 Belfast is suffering from intense ner- vous tension. At one point police placed on duty to protect the fremen were at. 1 tackled by gunmen, and several casual ties resulted.
 Raiders shot and severely wounded the mother of a special constable al l Monaghan, because she refused to al. low them to search her house. 1 There was considerable firing in tht 1 East End of the city this evening. AT Italian boy was shot dead at the dooi 1 of his home, and man, picked up SC l verely wounded, died in the hospital

Hoover Calls For
 Soft Coal Meeting
Has Issued Call for 1,5o0 Op- orators to Form Confer ence in Washington May
 31.

Washington, { May 21-Administration plans for holding down soft coal prices were carried a step further today when Secretary Hoover issued general call for conference of all the 1,500 odd operators whose mines are still prouuc- ing. The conference is to be held in Washington May 31.
 The operators will be asked to ap- prove and put into effect the scheme of creating district committees to receive and allocate all orders during the dura- tion of the strike, and with co-opera- tion from a Washington committee, to prevent coal going into hands of specu- Elators and middle men who may unduly enhance prices
 Fifty operators controlling the bulk of present non-union and open shop pro- duction last week pledged themselves to support the plan, using the Garfield prices of the wartime fuel administra- tion as general basis from which 10 set up fair pr1ce standards. This would establish mine prices of bitumin- ous in g range of from s2 to s3 per ton. "In the meantime, the administration expects the coal operators not to sell 1 coal at prices in excess of the Garfield
 prices with such adjutments as are nec-
 essary." MT. Hooyers statement on the general conference call said. Further
 more, charges by wholesalers or retail CTS of larger commissions than allowed under the Garfield scale, or the resale of | coal for speculative purposes is not fair 1 to the public, and the government would like to hear from consumers who have been subjected to higher prices than this
 basis warrants
 As to the actual coal production situa- tion, the geological survey reported to- day that weekly output, which rose
 sharply to total of 4,421, 1000 tons week
 before last, would remain approximately stationary at that point or might show l a slight decline during the last week. Striking union miners have gone back 1 in considerable numbers "only in south l eastern Kentucky and Tennessee tht

ADMINISTRATION WORKING FOR
 LOWER FREIGHT RATES

Washington, May 21.-Adoption of an administration policy calling for reduc- tion in railroad freight rates was the in- depreciation given in many quarters to- day to President Hardings request to the leading railroad executives to lower transportation charges by voluntary ac- tioa and without waiting for action by the interstate commerce commission
 Cooperation of railroad Organizations
 to secure the desired result was promised
 President Harding and Secretary Hoover
 by the railroad executives who met with
 them last night at a White House dinner
 conference. ''The president voiced their
 unanimous desire to make the fullest contributions possible to restore and maintain prosperity" according to a statement issued at the White House when the conference ended at an early hour today.
 The executives voted to name a com
 n1ittee to recommend what action could be taken in line with MT. Harding's sug- gestion.
 Railroads were directly asked, the statement said, to bring about lower | freight charges, on a plain first publicly outlined in a study which Secretary Hoover presented to the interstate con-
 merce commission during it's hearings in I the general rate investigation last win | ter. This involves cutting freight on coal steel farm products, minerals and other heavy low-priced basic raw materials
 and letting freights on high grade, high priced finished materials remain at ap- proximately their present levels. Rates reached their present postwar attitudes by climbing in percentage stag 1 es, fiat increases all down the line being the rule, but MT. Hoover argued that rates should be reduced in a different i fashion. Industrial betterment, he de clared, could be best attained by cutting l those rates which constituted large fraction of the price of articles moved to consuming parts, while leaving sta l tionary such rates as do not constitute g 1 great portion of the cost of consumers. 1 One subject frequently mentioned ir advance of the White House dinner, that of railroad wage levels now under re-
 examination before the railroad labor board, apparently did not come up fol discussion. No mention of it was made
 in the statement though questions of new 1 equipment purchases an other problem:
 of railroad management" were referred
 to specifically.
