HOPE FOR COAL FARLEY.
Recovering of Conference Taken as
Peace Move.

Washington, July 7.-Decision of
the anthracite coal mine operators
and union representatives to meet
again today was taken as an indica-
ton at least of continued hope of
reaching an agreement thru the con-
ference called by President Harding.
No statement was forthcoming from
either side as to the trend of devel-
opments on adjournment of yester-
days meeting, which was said to have
been without definite results.
Meanwhile the bitumfnous strike
situation, negotiations in which have
been deferred until Monday, is press
ing itself more and more upon the at
tention of officials as to the matter
of the public's coal supply. The chief
concern is felt over the present cur
tailment of shipments for the north
west. Another area in which a pinch
is said to have developed is northern
New England.

FOREST FIRES RAGE FOR WEEK.
Nearly Every Timbercd Area in Pa
cific Northwest Is AbIaze.

Seattle, Wash, July FOREST fires
are raging in virtually every timbered
area Of the Pacific Northwest and
thousands of men were being rushed
today to augment the crews which
have been working to control blazes
constantly growing in number and
size for the last week or ten days.
~F'ires are burning in every county
of western Washington from the Can
adian border to tho Columbia river in
eastern Washington, northern Idaho,
western Montana. central and western
Oregon.
The situation is so serious that lead
ing logging operators of western
Washington have, with few exceptions,
abandoned all effort to work in the
woods lest they add to the peril by the
danger of setting new blazes in the
iader-dry areas.

of conspicuous hypocrite.
If am elected to Congress- as confidently expect to
