adequately.
Hoover Before Committee
Secretary Hoover told the committee
that if the Winslow bill were passed,
I'VE hope that control may be necessary
for not more than ninety days, but 1t
may be extended for six MONTHS
He estimated that 100000 tons OF
for railroads, 75O. 900 for public utili-
ties, and 300, 900 for governmental, hos
pital and miscellaneous essential use.
1--WE rely on approximations OF re-
quirements made during wal. time he
said, "in concluding that a distribution
Of 9, 9,O00, 900 tons per week would pre-
vent any general closing up of industry.
We hope with rapidly increasing pro-
duction to prevent that"
The Winslow bill. Mr.. Hoover de-.
clarcd, Incorporated the most facile and
flexible workable suggestions we have
for dealing with the situation.
Notwithstanding, in changing sit
uation such as we have to face, he
added, I'VE might have to come to Con =
gress in two weeks and ask for some
thing else"
1--WE have seen Good deal in the
press about taking over anthracite
mines,'' interjected Representative
to believe there Is nothing in this bill
to cover that. and no such step is in
contemplation
such processes have not been recon-
mended by the presidential committee
now in touc' with coal distribution, "
Mr.. Hoover replied.
To Prevent PrOflteering
Secretary Hoover told the committee
that the bills enactment was necessary
to put some restraint on prices and
protiteering In coal.
I'VE are now getting resumption Of
mining he said. "but are faced with
prospects Of arrangement Of transpor-
tation, leading to a possible continuance
of coal famine. Now. the usual defects
OF unchecked price in the economic field
is that 1t leads to increased production,
but in this industry the total production
will be limited by the capacity of the
transportation machine. Enhanced
price will give no increase in produc-
tion, while shortage may be enforced
by the shopmen's strike on the railroads,
and consequent deterioration Of loco
motive power.
Control must be maintained on the
current production, he said, even though
coal output increased sharply, because
the Northwest had to be supplied, be-
cause anthracite production had failed,
and because stocks had to be built up
before winter.
IAN this means,' he continued,

bill to create coal distribution agency
and to extend the authority of the
Interstate Commerce Commission over
priority of shipments, and it was in
dicnted that the measure probably
would be taken up in the Senate itself
later in the week. At the same time the
House committee began FIVE hour
hearing on companion bill present cd
by Chairman Winslow, with the in
tention Of making n report before night
and bringing the bill into the House
tomorrow.
Coal Loadings Increase
A new high watermark for coal load.
ing since the strike began was an
nounced by the Association of Railroad
Executives, whose figures for last FRI
day, the latest available, showed that
on that day 21, $3.50 cars were loaded.
The highest previous total since the
strike began in April was 1908 cars
on August 81. On the basis Of figures
already received, the association an
nounced that londings for the whole of
last week probably exceeded 6,25O,O 900
tons.
In promptly voting approval of the
distribution and priority bill, members
of the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee took the position that the
whole question would have to be
threshed out on the floor Of the Senate,
and that it was useless for the COM
mittee to waste time debating it. 1t
was said also that the committee action
had bound none Of the members to
support the measure on the floor.
Commissioner Aitchison. Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, mem
her of the presidential committee now
conducting the Informal coal control
system. told the House Committee at
the opening Of its hearing that 1t was
the unanimous judgment of officials
concerned that the Winslow bill or some
similar enactment was essential, though
he considered that the present emer-
gcnCy was passing. He said that in the
week to come, taking an optimistic
view. 1--WE mas. expect S,OOO.OOO tons

This is a compromise between the
contract at fixed wages running un-

mr. and a long time contract
with the right to ask wage adjust
nlents on April l next, demanded by
the operators. The exact length
suggested by Mr.. Pepper has not
ceen disclosed by either party. A
shreWd guess would be that a one-
year contract is suggested.
from the operators standpoint a
double advantage would accrue. One
is that the soft coal scale to be nego-
lated next spring will in al prob

other is that with the, contracts for

greatly reduced.

wage rates for one year at prices the
operators fear they cannot afford to

has said repeatedly that with arbi-

RESIDENT IN
DIVORCE CASE
Case of John Meaker and His
Wife Reopened in Courts
After 30 Years

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 31:-A
divorce case of two former Perth
Amboy people, which has been in
the courts for the last thirty years,
has again been r%eopened. John
Meaker, formerly manager of the
Grand Union Tea Company here,
and at present manager of a similar
store in Plainfield. has applied
through his attorney to dismiss the
last petition of his wife, Anna
Meaker, on the charge that it was
not diligently prosecuted by her.
The first action was brought by
Mrs. Meaier in 1892, when she ask
ed separation and maintenance. This
case was dismissed, and in 1898
Meaker brought new proceedings
for divorce on the grounds of deser-
ton. In 1918 Mrs. Meaker filed a
petition for divorce on the grounds
of desertion and it was discovered
at that time that the former action
brought by her husband had never
been terminated.
>, In 1921 Mrs. Meaker had Meaker
arrested and put in Jail for con-
tempt of court in not paying her
alimony of $12 a week. Meaker in
time paid UP and was released from
Jail. He is now preparing to reopen
the case and has engaged Richard
son & Lyons to present the case
September IL, and dismiss the entire
proceedings.
