EMERGENCY FUEL
 PLAN EFFCTIvE
 WITHIN 48 HOURS

Washington, July -25-The govern ment's emergency coal program will begin to function within 8 hours.
 Secretary Hoover, in making this announcement today, said ratification of the emergency plan for distribu- ton and restriction of unfair prices by the operators association was ex- pected within 4S hours, but if coop eration was withheld in any district, the government would proceed to ap- point 9the necessary local commit tees.
 As regards the coal strike itself, Mir Hoover declared the. government had exhausted every means toward a settlement, that it had offered arbi- tration which had been rejected and that the matter to be taken care of now was the distribution of coal as produced.

Last night the meeting of the com mon council was called to order shortly after s o'clock and after the routine reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, Councilman Al bright of the 5th district made a mo- ton to adjorun. The motion was promptly seconded by Ralph Sher- wood, councilman from the 7th dis trict.
 A discussion regarding the propriety of :. Mourning without setting a defi mite date for the postponed meeting, resulted in tro setting of Friday, July IS. as the time for a special meeting of the council to take up the matters which were not taken up last night.
 The vote on the adjournment was s to adjourn and lot to adjourn.
 Sammis and Sniffen voted no. Mills TOmlinson councilman from the ninth district was absent at the meeting but appeared at the town hall shortly after the adjournment.
 The councilmen voting for the ad- journment declared that they were doing it because they did not wish to be accused of "Railroading matters through at the last moment" The two men who had voted for the con. tinuation of the meeting declared that the move was made to give time for electioneering and this statement was more or less borne out by the fact that the other councilnen immediately

Food Supply And Industry Are Ne11aced
Large Eastern Plants Threatened with Com plete Paralysis - Fuel Prices on the Rise.

Chicago, July 25-The rail- road strike combined with the coal strike, was being brought home to the public today through the encouragement Of leaders in several Industries that unless a speedy settlement was reached, closing of the plants with resulting unem- | ployment, rationing of fuel and food supplies, and a cpip- bling of public utilities service would result. Steel plants, espe ecially in the east, will be closed on wholesale scale if present conditions continue until Au- gust, according to the head of a large steel corporation. Industrial coal was said to be unobtainable at any price in New York. In Chicago increases from S5.25 to s15.25 a ton in coal prices were announced. A shortage Cf coal cars in bitumin ous fields has caused an appreciable decline in pro- dnction. The close relationship which the strikes were assuming was seen in the statement of H. B. Trumbower of the Wisconsin Railroad Commis- sion that if the coal strike lasted an additional two weeks rail tronsporta- still.
 Official Washington still maintained silence on the rail situation, but it was confidently expected that Pres ident Harding woulS begin action 10 end the shopmen's strike during the week. In some quarters it was be- Heved that the next move might come through the railroad labor board . It was pointed out that the board has power to grant full recognition to the 1Hew company'S unions which forty eastern railroads contemplate form ing.

Saturday, however, the Klan was not content to stop with enlisted men. but even had one man. apparently acting in the capacity of officer of the day or commander of the guard, in the uniform of an army captain.
 Judge Smith, last night, told news papermen who reported certain facts greSs which prevented the wearing of the army uniform except on certain specified occasions.

 Bannigan's Statement.
 Captain Thomas J. Bannigan past national vice commander of the American Legion and national com mitteeman from Connecticut, last night made the following statement:
 "The American Legion stands for law and order and respect of the flag and the uniform at all times and under all conditions Wearing the

uniform is a definite expression of the fact that ours is a government of worn by any of those midnight ma rauders during their initiatory cere- monies, it was not only a violation of our federal laws, but a dissertation of the uniform so proudly worn by ouH- men who fought so valiant1y to stamp out vulture organiza tions such as the ku KluX klan, the BOlshevists and similar irresponsible elements in our society that unfortunately creep into our n1idStS to create discOrd which these reactOnary persons in the ku GluX Klan are now trying to inspire. The creed of the American Legion is: No North, no South, no East. no West, no democrats. no republicans, no Catholics, no Protestants, no Jew, no Gentle, no black no white. The principal requisites for a loyal legion naire are law, order, and good gov ernment and surely none of these truly American attributes are to be found in a despicable organization like the Ku KluX Klan. If the uni form has been deffled by this organi- zation, I am sure that our own de- partment of justice will see to it that the ones who have defled it will be brought to justice.

 Councilman Donald Sammis ex- pressed the belief that the council men would be recalled and felt con- fident that a new group of men woulc be in control of the towns affairs after tonight.
