Washington, May 1S.-The confer
ence of coal operators called by
President Harding and Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover IN the lope o.
reaching agreements that will stop
profiteering in coal during the ma
tion-wide mine strike, met unex-
pectedly here today.
Just before the meeting which was
held at the. department. Of com
merce, Secretary Hoover announced
that the conference wod'd be open
to the public.
About fifty coal operators are in
attendance, and it is believed that
the conference is the opening move
on the part of the government t.
end the coal strike.
Aim to Help Business.
The coal meeting and the dinner
conference Of President Harding
with steel and railroad men tonight
and Saturday night, respectively, are
part of the administration cam
paign to reach voluntary agreements
with "key" industries to hasten re
turn of more prosperous business
conditions.
The convening of the coal con
ference today came as surprise
as it was not expected it would bt
held for a week.
Harding and Hoover believed
there is not justification for recen
increases in coal prices, because
stocks of coal throughout the coun
try continue large. How the ad
ministration plans to induce th'
operators to take steps agains
profiteering was not definitely re
vealed.

DENY TRUCKS SOLE
CAUSE OF ROAD
DAMAGE

The outstanding fact developed in
the Pittsburgh highway test recently
completed iii Contra Costa county has
been overlooked; namely, that these
tests have conclusively proven that the
assumption that the trucks alone in
flict tremendous damage to the high
ways has been grossly exaggerated.
Fred Mott, secretary of the California
Motor Transport association and a well
known truck expert, has just completed
survey of the findings of the engineer
ing board on the Pittsburgh highway
experiments, and he declares that his
contention should be accorded consider
ltiOn since a section of the ordinary
highway commission standard stood up
under traffic equivalent to over nine
and half years ON our ordinary high
ways.
Had this tremendous volume OF
traffic of 3,669,100 tons been operated
over the normal period of nine and Il

would have maintained the highways
IL reasonably good condition evan #
that traffic volume had passed ovr
IT, Mott declares. At Pittsburgh. no
repairs were made and again ut Pitts
hurgh, this highway was subjected to
very extraordinary tests. For instance,
total loads as great as 5000 pounds
were operated at greater speeds than
would be possible ON a public highway.
This contributed to a very marked do
gree 70 the destruction of sections hui
in spite Of these extraordinary tests, it
stood up on what is equivalent to nine
and half years of ordinary traffic
and that without repairs. ,S
''The three things conclusivcly PROV
en by the test are
First If better and more expensive
highways are built they will stand NJ
better and last longer. About this
there is little or no doubt.
Second: The tests show conclusivelv
that an equally good or better high
way can be built at a slightly increased
cost by the addition of more concrete
than can be built by the steel re-in-
forced highway, at considerably in
creased cost.
Third: Without maintenance and re-
pairs and under extraordinarily hard
experimental tests, the California High
way commission standard nevertheless
stood up under normal nine and a half

DEATH TOLL FROM
ACCIDENTS
IS GROWING DAILY

The number Of automobile acci-
dents and persons killed and injured
in automobile accidents is growing
day by day. For the months of
January and February Of this year

out Of this number % per cent is
due to automobile accidents. Also,
every 5 minutes one person is
killed by all accident. In the

AUTO CLUB PARTY
TOURS DESERT
TO OPEN new
HIGHWAYS
Plan To Make Waste Spaces
OF State Fit For
Travel

In an effort to open for motor travcl
the hitherto uncxplorcd sections of the
California desert places, q charting
party of the Automobile Club Of South
crn California is now tracking the
trackless wastes Of the west.
Romance stalks hand in hand with
death in this latest road-marking eX-
pcditon of the Auto club, for the OBJ
jcctivc of the party will be the last
resting place Of the lost Mormons
who cndeavored to reach the coast in
the pioneer days of 40.
Far to the north of Death valley the
club party will seek for the lost wagons
Of the MOrmOns which are reported to
be living sOmcwherc in the desert,
guarded by the bleached bones Of the
mules which dragged them across the
burning sands. The object of the
search will be the establishment of n
route into the desert to be known in
that section as the Lost Wagon -
trail.
Leaving Southern California the club
party has pushed far into the desert,
according to a report just received here,
and is at the present time ploughing its
way through Death Valley in resolve
to reach the famous Furnace Creek
ranch, the last outpost of civilization
in this torrid area lying hundreds OF
feet below sea level.

fourteen cities and counties, numerous
bays, capes, straits, peninsulas, islands
mountains and the Pacific ocean. 1t
is also possible to see Mount Shasta
200 miles away, on a clear day.
The trip which the REQ Speed Wagon
made up this mountain emphasizes the
tendency of the general public to freely
acknowledge the speed of the REQ with.
out knowing its surplus of power
Tamalpais presented an opportunity
for avery unusual test to bring out thi,
contention. Through the courtesy OF
he Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway
company, a special arrangement was
made whereby the truck, with an of
fetal pilot representing dispatcher's s
orders, was permitted to negotiate the
grade over the railroad right of wav.
This road has the unique distinction
of being the crookedest railroad in the
world-2Sl curves. To make the climb

the trip without difficulty, without.
heating and without the slightest dam

testimony to the general construction,

Three weeks will be needed by the
party to penetrate the heart of the
desert, during which time the club signs
will be continued into Nevada by way
of Goldficld, Tonopah, Gold Reed, Hiko
and Alamo. With the return of the
club scouts, maps will be drawn by the
drafting department for motorists all
over America to use in touring the

SOUTHERN AUT0lSTS
ENCIRCLE GLOBE
IN DRIVES

Proof that auto owners in Southern
California will stop at nothing when it
comes to touring is shown in news of
the activity of the carforwarding de
partment of the Automobile Club OF
Southern California just received.
Bitten by the touring bug which
thrives in this section as nowhere else
in America, motorists are shipping then
ears this season to the four corners OF
the globc-and motorists from the foul
corners of the globe are shipping then
ears here for touring purposes.
Groups OF motorists at the present
time are shipping cars from Southern
California to Manila, France, England
end Honolulu. Other shipments from
the Auto club are being made to Mex
leo, Rotterdam and Japan.
This club service, which is free to
members and visitors in the south, is
also bringing in large numbers of ma
chimes frcm New York and foreign
lands. Private touring parties are also
bringing III numerous ears from north
ern points, notably Seattle and Port
land.
Motorists who desire to ship their
machines to other countries are advised
to get in touch with the nearest club of
flee for information at this time in re-
gard to carload lots of autos which are
leaving within few days, as cheaper
rates in this way are available.
BY this clubbing together" method,
autoists are able to save large sums OF
money. 1t is also increasing the num-
Der of visitors in Southern California
and greatly increases the general pros
perity of the southern counties of the
state. Shipments by sea as well as by
land, of course, are very popular at this

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
IN MOTORING
REPORTED

Every week this spring. will be "'see
the country week for motorists, say
officials of the Automobile Club OF
Southern California.
Unusual activity is scheduled for
April, May and June in touring circles
throughout the southern part of the
state, it is reported with the greatest
influx of motoring visitors ever re
corded.
Impetus is given the touring move
ment out here by the plans for huge
caravan to move across the country to
tine realtor convention on the coast, as
well as several large parties of tourists
coming across the continent by motor,
Ell masse.
Touring parties of from twenty to
thirty ears, moving as a single body
across the transcontinental highways,
just as the pioneers did in 40, is becom.
ing a common sight, says the Auto club
touring bureau.
1t is revival of the days of 40 in a
de luxe manner. Where at one time it
took year to cross the prairies to Cal
ifornia by pack train and prairie
schooner, motor caravans are now max
ing the trip in twenty-onc days without
the hardships suffered by the early
pioneers.
Public camp grounds along the way,
with all modern conveniences have been
put at the disposal of the westward
moving trains of motor cars, which
helps to make the trip delight. De
spite erroneous rumors set adrift in the
east that the tour to California is be-
set with hardships, motorists are trek
king to the coast ih numbers greater
than ever before, reports the club.
In Southern California counties the
touring fever seems to have struck thou
sands of car owners at once, and with
the coming of April, the spring touring
season is on full force. Hail spring
tours!

motor trucks do not inflict anywhere

''That motor trucks have not been
