Chicago, June 29.-While officers Of
the miners union insisted plans for a
conference between operators and
miners to end the soft coal strike
were progressing, federal and state
officials . continued preparations for
distribution of coal under govern
ment supervision.
Appointment by President Harding
of Henry B. Spencer as federal coal
administrator and the appointment OF
an advisory committee Of operators
were taken by coal men to mean
that the federal government would
not halt its, plan TO control distri-
button Ut -fuodstuifs and fuel, despite
the fact the outlook for peace was
brighter.
Twenty-thrse governors have as
sured Secretary Hoover that they
will establish state administrations
for the prevention Of profiteering and
for the control Of Goal distribution.
e The Administration believes there
will be L settlement Of the strike and
that the country's fuel needs will be
supplied.
Frank harrington, head. of the
United Miue Workers in Illinois, was
in Philadelphia today for a confer.
ence with John L. Lewis, and other
union chiefs. Mr.. Lewis who is in
tcrnationa1 president of the miners
union was still insistent peace was
in sight and again said that "power-
full influences" were at work to end
the walkout. He also declared that
no settlement would be made in the
anthracite fields until an agreement
had been reached in the central colc-
petitive fields which include the
mines of Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Indiana.
Meantime a wage agreement was
reached at Cincinnati affecting 5000
miners in the Kentucky Tennessee
field, including twenty-five operations
The agreement grants the workers an
increase Of approximately $3.50 a
day.. It becomes effective August l.
Another meeting was scheduled to be
held next Tuesday at Middlesboro,
KY, to discuss a. similar agreement
for that field. =
Mining. Of coal has been resumed
in mines Of Washington county,
Pennsylvania and in Indiana Cover
nor McCray asked a sufficient num-
Der of men be permitted to return to
work to provide coal for state instl'
tutions and public utilities.
Governor Taylor of Tennessee was
asked for troops by the sheriff of
Claiborne county. The sheriff said
striking miners were tcrrorizing cit
liens and stores in several towns,
had been fired upon.
A report from Walsall, Penn, said
that the homes of four working MN
ers there had been dynamited. The
Wisconsin railroad commission de-
clared that the shortage Of fuel there
will Cripple industry within very
few days." if relief is not available.

COAL HAS FIRST CALL

tBy the Associated Press,
Washington, July 29.-All pro-
ducing coal mines in the country
will be given first call on rail-
road cars as soon as the admin
istration's fuel control machine
Is completed, It was announced
today by Secretary Hoover,
chairman of the federal coal dis.
tributf0n committee.
Mr.. Hoover plans to make pub.
lie soon proposals being sent to
all of the states for the organ
ization of local fuel control
bodies. The federal plan, he add
cd, contemplates that each state
shall take the entire response
bility for distribution and prices
within It's boundaries while the
federal government will see to
1t that the states get coal from
the operators at fair prices.
The government, Mr.. Hoover
stated, is not re-establishing the
old time fuel administration sys.
tenn, but is chiefly concerned in
the equitable distribution of
coal. 4 "
The plans for emergency will
be sent to the states, practically
all Of which have responded to
the coal committees appeal, Mr..
Hoover said. States far from
coal centers, he declared, must
be accorded greater transporta-
ton facilities than those nearer
the producing fields.

EMPLOYMENT. : :.
FOR. MANY. TO
Be OFFERED
Ignite Coal Mines Will Take
on Large Number Of Men
in Near Future ~ra1

Employment for several hundred
men will be offered in Ignite coal
mines in North Dakota within the
next month, many mines preparing to
operate at as full capacity as
possible. ",
With q rush of orders beginning to
come in, one large coal company has
dispatched an agency to congested
centers in search of labor.
A request from 1rvan Bowen, Min
nesota state fuel administrator, to
Governor Nestos for location and
quantity Of Ignite coal which may be
purchased have been communicated
to Ignite operators. Shipments Of
coal into Minnesota have increased
rapidly within the last two weeks,
according to reports to operators.
John F. Sullivan of Mandan, who
is interested in Ignite mining, said
today that he believed North Dakota
Ignite coal mines could ship 100
cars day out of the state and still
supply all the needs of North Dakota.
This capacity may be increased under
pressure, he estimated. -
Other developments in the Ignite
coal situation include word from
President Harding to the effect that
he endorsed the proposal of Cover
nor Nestos that the Ignite coal min
ing industry be made a separate
classification so that miners and
operators may deal with each other
on the basis of conditions in this
industry rather thai. also upon condi-
tions in the central competitive, field
in which conditions are held to be
vastly different. x. ~ ilsy" 1.>
The state railroad commission an
noufices that the hearing on flgnite
coal rates, scheduled for August 2,
has been postponed until August 9,
when the matter of alleged discrim-
nations within North Dakota will be
taken up. 1t, is expected that the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
shortly take up the question of pro-
viding lower rates for Ignite coal in
interstate shipment. Hr +.
A survey. of all the Ignite coal
mines in the state is being made by
Governor Nestos with view Of de-
,termining the possibilities for ind
creasing mine capacity. A survey Of
the needs of the state also is being
made Through questionnaircs to be
sent to 1900 coal dealers in the
state. ,. .|rt|'

URGE GRAIN
f. BODIES UNION
Wheat Growers and U. S
Grain Growers Associa-
~ tions May Unite

Grand Forks, July 29.-Eforts
have been made for sometime to
bring the North Dakota Wheat Grow
ers' association and the U. S. Grain
Growers Inc, of this state together
as one organization, and this seems
likely to be brought about in the
near future, according to officers Of
the wheat growers.
The latest development to bring
this about, was the action taken by
the board of directors Of the North
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation at
meeting recently held in Fargo, at
which time that organization went
on record as endorsing the plan OF
the Wheat Growers Association and
passed resolutions advocating an
amalgamation of the two bodies in
order that the farmers of this state
may work together in marketing
their wheat under the 100 percent
compulsory pool. y.
This action followed similar steps
taken by the wheat growers recent
ly in session here, and marks the
beginning Of final negotiations for
an affiliation, in view of the fact
that the Farm Bureau Federation OF
this state is the chief sponsor for
the U. S. Grain Growers.
1--WE are greatly pleased that the
Farm Bureau took this stop, said
Mr.. Geo. A. Duis, president Of the
North Dakota Wheat Growers Asso-
citation, "for we all realize the i'm
portance Of concerted action in "a
movement Of this kind. In unity IS
strength. Small differences and pre-
JUDGES should be forgotten, and all
should work together for a common
end in brotherly fellowship"
