Coal Cain Due Chiefly
To Rail improvement
Output From Mines Reopened
Under Harding Request IL
Month Ago Slight, Ts Sho.rn

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Geo.
logical Survey in statement to-day
celebrating on its report on coal pro-
duction for the last week, issued yes
torday, declared that "the addition to
the coal supply from mines that have
roopened is small, although four weeks
have elapsed since the invitation to
resume production was extended"
There have been only very small
gains in a few of the stronger organ
ICED districts" the survey added, land
the increase in shipments reported for
this week has come from those dis
tricts in which production was cur
tailed by traffic congestion during
July"
The bituminous production for the
week was estimated at about 100000
tons, or 100000 tons more than the
previous week. In placing anthracite
production at 27,ooo tons for the week,
the survey said, production is limited
chiefly to steam sizes dredgod from
the rivers"
"Anthracite continues to move for
ward from the storage yards of pro
ducers," the statement continued, 'but
the quantity is small and is decreasing
Shipments now made are practically
confined to pea coal or smaller sizes
The total output Of anthracite. since
January / now stands at 22,800,000 net
tons. In comparison with 1921 this is
a decrease Of nearly 3s,ooo,000 tons.
Because the strike has curtaled
shipments to the three Northern ports
New York. Philadelphia and Balti-
more---the cumulative tidewater move
ment from January l to July 81 was
much below normal. Shipments during
the irst seven months OF 1922 were 20
per cent less than the average for the
correspo ponding period in the three
years preceding. The chief clement
In the decrease was sharp decline in
exports.
Lake dumpings in the week ended
August dropped to the lowest point
reported at this season in years. A
total of S,790 tons was consigned to
destinations on Lake Erie not ordi-
narily taking lake cargo, and the
quantity forwarded to regular lake
destinations was only 66,125 tons.
"The districts In Pennsylvania and
the central competitive field and those
west Of the Mississippi have been less
affected by traffic congestion. The mine

Hard Coal Miners Drop
Demand for More Pay

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA con-
ference that is expected to serve as
forerunner for further meetings and
eventually to lead up to the resump-
tion of work in the anthracite coal
fields was held to-day in the home of
William A. Glasgow jr, counsel for
the United Mine Workers, it was
learned from a confidential source.
The conference was attended by
ton Pepper. Governor William C.
sproul Of Pennsylvania, Samuel D.
Warriner, president of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company and
spokesman for the operators, and W.
j. Richards, president Of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany.
While none of those attending the
meeting would give out any informa-
tion regarding the matter discussed, it
was learned that steps were taken
looking toward the resumption of the
negotiations broken off in New York
more than three months ago. A Sec
ord conference, it is understood, has
been called for. Wednesday to which
John l.. Lewis, international president
of the United Mine Workers, will be
invited.
At the conference Wednesday, it is
understood, both Mr.. Lewis and Mr..
Glasgow have consented to withdraw
the demands of the scale committee
for 20 per cent increase in pay and
that both have agreed to urge the re-
turn OF the miners at the old rate.
AT the meeting to-day, according to
the source of information, Senator
Pepper acted as the representative of
President Harding, while Governor
:Sproul served as mediator in order to
bring the two factions together.

Fight to Finish Threatened

officially expressed, is that "if the gov
ernment will maintain firm hand In
seeing to 1t that the flow of Interstate
commerce Is not obstructed the country
will soon forget tho strike" They es-
innate that the average Of operation
forces for the roads of the entire coun-
try is now about So per cent Of normal
and are confident they can fill all va
cancies within comparatively short
period.
While the committee Of executives
was meeting President Harding, tho
committee of nine, representing the
brotherhoods and other rail labor or
ganisations not on strike, was in con-
ference again with Bert NJ. Jewell and
the other leaders of the striking shop
crafts workers.
Despite the understanding that the
President had released both the exec
utives and the union heads from their
pledge Of secrecy OF last night, the lat

to the Harding proposal, after still an
Conductors Hopeful of Peace
l.. e, Sheppard, president OF the Or
der of Railway Conductors, said: "We
can issue no statement at this time for
this reason: We don't know Just whore
we are. We are awaitisg developments.
We don't want to do or say anything to
embarrass either sida. We are hopeful
of finding some way to help. Whether
we can or not is problematical. We
are going to stay here at least until
Congress- reconvenes. If the President
wants to see us we will respond to his
call. We will keep the same committee
here.
"As soon as the time comes when we
can make settlement that won't en-
barrass anybody we will. In the mean
time we call attention to the fact that
much has been said about seniority.
Seniority is only one of several funda-
mentals applicable to the men who have
left the service and are on strike. The
real issue is the status Of the men on
strike. We hold they are not dismissed
from the service; they have not re-
signed; they are awaiting n settlement
OF their differences, and all their rights
IS employees are suspended, so to
speak, contingent on whether they go
back into service. This applies to the
right to strike under the law, to pen
sion, to insurance provided by their
employers as we'll as to seniority.
That's the real issue. Seniority, we
think. has been, in common parlance,
worked overtime by the railroads.
"In all disputes these organizations
have had with their employers in years
gone by they have gone back with ell
rights, by agreement and so under
stood. We see no reason why the poll
ley should be changed at this time We
don't think the law changes the funda-
mentals OF railway employment"

Nash Opposes Fleet Plan
Says Coal Strike Is Not as Seri.
GUS as Lasker Believes

The coal strike is not serious enough
to warrant the reconditioning Of a
number Of Shipping Board vessels to
carry coal from England, as proposed
by Chairman A. d. Lasker, isgthe opin-
ion of Joseph A. Nash, manager Of the
Lloyd Royal Beige for North America,
who issued statement yesterday in
which he commented upon the news
paper reports Of Chairman Lasker's
proposal.
Il think" said Mr.. Nash, "that Mr..
Lasker is trife too pessimistic. be-
cause I am quite sure that President
Harding's efforts will result in quick
settlement of the strike, and with it in
the resumption Of the needed coal sup
ply through its customary channels,
certainly to the limit of the railroads
ability to carry IT,"
Mr.. Nash insists that precautionary
measures always are to be commended,
but tyat he does not think there is a
call for such measures right now, as
there are more coal-carrying bottoms
offered for spot service than the de-
Mand can possibly absorb"

SCHEDULE PLAN
WORKED OUT BY
NET OFFICIALS
Basketball Referees Establish
Clearing House for Help of
Managers and Coaches.

The Indiana board Of certified bas-
ket-ball officials has developed the
most thorough plan to acquaint
coaches and managers throughout the
State with obNining competent Off
Gals that has ever been devised in
Indiana. One Of the purposes of the
organization is to become a clearing
house for referees, and Dale Miller,
secretary OF the board, has sent out
lists of officials to about 500 high
school coaches and the different col
leges Of the State. Twenty-Five of
some Of the best officials available
are members of the board. The en-
trance requirements are very strict
and only the best basketball referees
can affiliate with the organization.
A list of the games each official has
on his schedule is kept by Miller and
when some school calls in asking
about a referee the available dope IS
at hand. The names of the referees
who have open dates at a certain
line therefore can be sent out and
the coaches or managers can select
a mar to work the game for them.
Some such system has been needed
in seasons past and it has remained
for the Indiana certified board to put
1t over. The secretary OF the asso-
citation can be reached at GA Board
of Trade Building. Circle 1870.
