determination of the Mexican people in their choice Of

Wilson, when President, should consistently have

COLLINS DEMANDS INVESTIGATION OF
 PETT|G0E BATTLE
Irish Leader Claims First Shots Were Not Fired by Troops of Free
 State
By Associated Press

puhlin. June ,. = Michael Collins. head of the provisional government, takes most serious view of the British smelling of Pettigoe in Free State territory. and has demanded or the British authorities full inquiry into the circumstances. it has been supposed that the Irish troops at Pet tigoe were irregulars not under con- trol of the provisional government, but an official communique issued to- right from Beggars' Bush. headquar- ters of the Irish republican army, declares that there were no Irish troops in that district except reg ulars. It is denied in the communicate that the British troops were at any time fired on and the British army sta tement that in consequence of the shooting of motor car driver, Pet tigoe was shelled, is contradicted. The driver. it Is asserted, was not killed until long after the shelling, when there was an interchange of shots between the British and the retreat ing Irish troops.
 According to the Beggars' Bush statement, one shell was fired while the people were at mass and eight others without warning or provoca- tion i'm hediately afterward. Seven Irish troopers were killed and sew eral captured. The British now ac- cupy the hill and vantage points for two miles on the Donegal side, and all roads are traversed by British armored cars. In any circumstances the joint appeal of Devalera and Collins to the electors this evening Is likely to have the effect of dis couraging candidates against the Sim Fein ticket and the Pettigoe incidents are considered an aid in bringing about solidarity for securing nc contests.

Mir. Hoover met 45 members of the mission today in the commerce department heads office to prevent runaway prices during the strike but the conference developed prin- cipally into colloquy between IT. Stephens and Mir. Hoover over probable increase in the price Of coal to the householder. The voluntary cooperation of the association to prevent undue price advances was pledged by Mir. Stephens
 Establishment of maximum of ss.5o will mean an increase of s1.75 a ton in the reta1r price in Maine and rne northwest, while immediate advances could be expected in New Tcrk and Chicago.
 The necessity for advancing the retail prices, he said. was due to the prices fixed by the operators and the long transportation now necessary from non union fields.
 Arrangements fixing fair prices with the operator, however, he add ed. had modified rises in the retail prices which might have reached even higher levels.
 VIII Not stand For Price
 Mir Hoover declared that he sim ply would not stand" for retailers blaming the increases on the fair prices fixed with the operators. as serting the wholesale price of coal -.-t- -a-~.r hf1r T that those who had coal under con- tract were under a moral obligation to pass the benefits of the fair prices on to the public.
 Mir. Stephens maintained that very few retailers had coal under con- tract and only a small tonnage and that there would have to be an in crease in the price of retail coal due to the rise at the mines. He of fered to cooperate with any com mittees set up by the department to handle the coal price situation but MT. Hoover declared that no organ ism was being established to control the coal industry of tho country, there being no legal standing for such action and that only normal co-operation'' was being relied upon.
 Mir. Hoover submitted that the con- sun1ing public must pay a reason able handling charge for its coal above the cost of the fuel. asserting that the present demand for coal was not heavy there being moro coal in the market than needed and that there was no tendency of prices to harden.
