IN CONF FERENCE
ON COAL SUPPLY
Hoover Calls Meeting Of Carriers,
Producers and Industries to Con-
slider Needs for Winter, Be.

By JAMES T. KOLBERT.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
Washington, Sept 15.-To insure
the public plenty of coal at reason
able prices this winter, representa-
tives of coal carrying railroads, coal
producers. leading industries and
public utilities met here today with
Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
Hoover expected at least fifty of the
one hundred he invited to be present.
Hoover believes present prices 100
high; also that tendency by railroads
and other great public utilities and
industrial plants to hoard coal con
stitutes a menace to public welfare.
Now that both the bituminous and
anthracite miners are again working
at capacity, Hoover and other mem
bers of the presidents fuel distribu-
tion committee feel that the basic
problem is that of hauling
The countrys weekly requirements
total approximately 100000 tons.
Five and a half million tons are re-
quired to feed the railroads, other
like utilities and public institutions.
Industry, business and homes require
the rest In view Of the fact that
reserve stocks of coal were exhausted
during the coal strike the public utili-
ties and other big consumers of coal
are trying to build up their reserves
and meet their current needs at the
same time. To meet both it would be
necessary for the railroads to haul
approximately 100000 tons weekly
for the next six weeks This is an
impossible task, Hoover stated.

Jackson Miss, Sept. 15.-Governor
Lee Russell Of Mississippi, was noti-
fled today by attorneys for Miss
Frances Birkhead that her suit
against him in the local court had

made sensational charges against
Governor Russell in the suit, claiming
she had been wronged and then de-
serted by Russell. There is another
suit pending in the federal courts at
Oxford, Miss, growing out of the
same alleged wrongs. The Oxford
suit is not affected by the withdrawal

Harry Muse, one of the owners

the bridge would have to be broken

they were afraid the pressure would

the thinning down of the fluid to

There was several hundred feet
