GOVERNOR ASKS
BUSINESS MEMS AID
IN The COAL CRISIS
Letter Addressed By Governor to LO-
cal Business Men Through Last
Head of Chamber of Commerce
Asks Assistance.

Mr.. George H. Frank, local mer-
chant who was president fthe Mays
will Chamber of Commerce at its sus-
pension, has just received this letter
from Governor Edwin p Morrow:
my dear Sir: Some three weeks
ago Mr.. Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce, in conference with Kentucky
coal operators, reached an agreement
that $3.50 per ton was fair price for
coal. At this time the Western Ken
lucky operators contended that the
price was not sufficient and filed a
vigorous protest as to the price with
he Presidential committee.
within the last ten days Eastern
kentucky coal operators have, through
strike settlements, ETC., been compell-
ed to and have advanced their wage
scale to such an extent that the cost
Of production in that field has incrcas-
ed about s1O0 per ton. These opera
.ors then demanded an increase above
the original price. AS a result of these
conditions, coal in Kentucky at once
began a rapid rise in price; the bid
ling of sorely tried users Of coal be
came almost frantic and coal was SELL
,ng in Kentucky at from $500 to $1,000
and even as high as $1,000 per ton. In
order to curb these prices, which could
not be justified by the cost of produc-
ton, and 10 meet what conceived to
be the reasonable requirements of the
situation, requested Mr.. Hoover to
increase the price in both fields to
$3.50 per ton. This price has been al
lowed as fair price.
81 believe it possible to hold the
price of coal at this figure. To this
end l am using every energy. l ask
your body to cooperate with me in
securing the result desired. Coal
should come to your industries and to
your coal dealers at price of s45C
per ton. The coal dealer should sell tc
the consumer at price which will BIZ

in which your industries or your Goa

Too Much.

Mt. Sterling, Ky, Aug. "a. - The
Mt. Sterling Essex defeated Maysville
here today to l, in a one-sided game.
"Hick" Terrell, the latest addition to
the Essex pitching staff, had the swat
tiers from the Ohio River city eating
out of his hand and mighty little did
he feed them, allowing only four hits.
One of these was home run by Glass

16 men. Every man except Reese on
the Maysville club struck out at least
once.
Potts home run with the bases full
and two down in the fifth was another
feature. Mt. Sterling played errorless
ball behind the superb pitching of
Terrell. In the absence of an umpire
Harrison of Mt Sterling and Miner of
Maysville alternated. Terrell had II
