COAL MEN ,...'.'o
ADMINISTRATION
CHIEFS TODAY
First Conference With
President Harding at
White House Today
ANOTHER TALK LATER
Secretaries Hoover and Davis to Hold
Conference.EHOrt Will BE made
For Peace.

Washington, July 1.-Representa-
tives of the coal operators and of the
United Mine Workers of America will
hold two conferences with officials of
the Administration today in an eff
fort to find formula under which a
settlement of the strike in the btu
minous field and the anthracite sus-
pension may be brought about.
These conferences will represent the
first serious and concerted move on
the part of the administration to in
, tervene in the wage controversy.
The first of these conferences will
be at the White House, when the
President will address approximately
10 representatives of the industry and
will appeal to these men, in the name
OF the public welfare, to settle their
differences, or at least to agree to a
method of settlement that the men
may return to work at once, and the
country may be adequately fueled.
Second of these conferences will be
held either at the Department of Com
mercc or some other convenient place
when Herbert Hoover, Secretary Of
Commerce and James J. Davis, Secre-
! tary Of Labor, will propose steps lead
ing to arbitration, if that is found to
be the only remaining resort.
Announcement of this program was
made at the White House yesterday
afternoon 1t was added that u rep
resentatives of the miners were eX-
pected to be present, and that as
many, or one or two more, represen-
ativeS of the operators. The names of
the conferees were not made public
officially. Because Of the disagree
ments within the operators group
upon matters of policy and of the pur-
pose of the President TO have IN Wash
ngton spokesmen Of all elements, it
;as not known positively at the Exc
utive Office today who would come.
There will be no parley at the
White House. The President will greet
each of the coal men personally and
then address them for five or ten
minutes. He will tell them what th0Sr
government expects Of them and re-
mind the visitors of the necessity,
from national standpoint, Of a re-
urn of the coal industry to a pro-
ductive basis.
1t was indicated at the White House
oday, however, that the President
ouid make no show Of force or firm
,css in dealing with the strike. He
,ct it be understood all over again
Yesterday afternoon that there IS no
.egal power which he can invoke and
nothing he can impose upon the coal
men against their will, All he has to
all back upon is srasion and friendly
counsel.
Already he has exerted his influ-
ence in the direction of settlement
IF the strike, and this was without
avail. He did this, and he asked John
l.. Lewis, president of the Mine Work
ers to agree to district conferences
with the operators. Whether mere in
fluence will get a better result the
next time is matter for the future
10 reveal.

Heads Avoid Hearing

Delay-Others Have Net Yet Com
pleted Vote.

Chicago, July Federal interven-
ton by the United States Railroad
Labor Board yesterday failed to halt
the strike of 100000 railway shopmen
called for 10 o'clock this morning. The
strike is over reduction in pay and
changes in working rules ordered ef-
fective today by the Labor Board.
Flouting, according to Chairman
Ben w. Hooper, the boards effort to
effect n settlement of the shopmen's
grievances before the walkout took
place, B. NJ. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts union, and the six international
heads, refused to appear for an offi-
cial investigation of the strike by the
board. No further attempt to fore
stall the strike will be made, Chair
man Hooper announced, in adjournmg
the Federal body's inquiry.
Chairman Hooper announced that
mo practical purpose could be
served by compelling the presence of
Mr.. Jewell at an adjourned hearing
today. the day set for the shop strike:
He declared that the board has Served
the full extent of its authority acting
under the Transportation act"
A threatened strike of 100000 rail-
way maintenance of way employees
was at least postponed, however, by
the boards intervention. The strike
of this group. which had been expected
to parallel that of the shopmen, Will
not be announced at present, but will
wait further action of the organlZa-
tons executive council, according to
the announcement of President +. r.
Cradle before the board yesterday.
Mr.. Cradle announced that meet
ing of the executive council of the
maintenance of way brotherhood
would be called in Chicago July TO
consider the situation as developed
by the Federal inquiry yesterday.
He made this concession. he said, on
the assurance of the board that pres
ent wages would be increased at any
time that increased living costs war
lanted.
When the Labor Board convened the
session only three or the 10 union
leaders summoned to the hearing were
present.
Neither President Jewell nor any of
the six international shop union heads
appeared for the boards inquiry.
President Healy, whose organization
is taking a strike vote, returnable
July 10, also was absent.
All the % railroads summoned had
representatives present.
The union heads who appeared be-
fore the board were E. II. Fitzger-
aid. head of the clerks union; r. F.
Cradle, president of the maintenance
of wav men. and d. W. Helt, chief Of
the signal men.
The board exercised its legal right
and ordered two of the leaders sub
poenaed. b. B. Jewell, head Of the six
shop crafts unions Of the American
Federation Of Labor, and Timothy
Healy. head Of the stationary fremen
and oilers.
The order TO produce the two lead
ers wa sissued after the board had
convened its hearing and had received

Asahis Form Five
Team Ball League

A Japanese baseball league with
four teams entered on its circuit and
a fifth to be heard from is the latest
innovation of Maui sports.
At a meeting of the Asahi Club of
this Island on last Wednesday night,
the schedule that is to start October
LIST was drawn. The teams known to
be entered in the league are the Asa.
hi, Kahului, Puunene, and Paia. The
Sakura team that played in the Junior
league this spring is the fifth possible
team to round out the league.
The series will not be a long one.
According to the schedule drawn
Wednesday, each team on the league
is to meet the other twice. Until
after the County Fair the games will
be played at wells field and the re-
mainder probably on the Fair
Grounds diamond.
A silver cup will be awarded the
champions by the Asahi Club and
each player of the winning team will
receive a handsome gold medal. To
hold the club trophy a team must win
it twice. The Asahi team were vic
tors last year and expect to obtain
the permanent possession of the cup
this season.
No Football Team
The prospects for entering a foot
ball team into the league this fall
were discussed at some length and
although the majority of the mem
bers favored the project it was felt
that sufficient good material would be
hard to get together as often as
practice and training would demand.
The club is optimistic however, of its
chances to enter a grid squad next
year.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW, IDAHO-Although the
coming football season marks the
first appearance of the University Of
Idaho in the Pacific Coast Conference
football race, preseason indications
are that the Gem staters will be the
dark horse of the conference this iall.
Coupled with the fact that Idaho
has not previously been a factor in
the annual melee for coast tituiaf
gridion honors, a fact which ordin-
arily would be sufficient in itself to
insure dark horse honors, is the ad-
vent CT a new coach at the northern
institution.
r. L. Matthews. who will control
Idaho's football destinies this fall, al
though a newcomer at the University
of Idaho. is no stranger to coast foot
ball circles, having coached at the
University of Washington, his alma
mater, and the Willamette University
at Salem.
Veterans Turn Out
Matthews will have nine lettermen
from the 1921 eleven to work with
this fall. These veterans are Cap
tain -elect Babe" Brown, "Huck"
Brashears and "Beany' Brashears,
backfeld; Golf, center; Vohs and
Stone. tackles; Neal and Barto,
guards; and Sherm Brashears, end.
Other promising candidates are
Fitzkie, Klefner, Hansen, Stivers,
Haynes, Reed and Newman, back
field; Kline, center; lesser, Marker,
Quinn and Bass, tackles; Hubbel and
Taper, guards; Zeller, Thomas, Hub
belson and Reiner, ends.
OF these men, Fitzkie looks parti-
cularly promising. He was ineligible
last year He can punt and drop
kick almost equally well. He averages
around SO yards with his punts and
drop kicks in the neighborhood of 40.
Also, he is an excellent passer. New
man is a good man at running with
the ball and is also a fine passer.
Kline is an excellent lineman and will
probably be used in some other line
position when not substituting for
Golf.
George NJ. Varnell, veteran Pacific
Coast football official and sport writer
says of the University of Idaho's
prospects: "a fast, medium heavy
team appears to be the prospect at
Idaho this fall. There is an abund-
ance of good backfield and line ma.
terial in sight, including last years
veterans and members of the 1921
freshman eleven.
