Gus miners strike reached an agree
ment to-day with Secretary Hoov er
upon an Administration plan for pre-

The scheme, adopted after tense mo-
ment in open debate, during which Mr..
Hoover told the operators-ass assembled
in response to Presidc Harding's in
vltation-that the coal industry
would either govern itself or the gov
ernment would govern it, was drawn
up in formal statement by commit
tee Of the operators present for refer
ence to Attorney General Daugherty.
The committee also issued call for
another and larger assemblage of oper-
ators to ratify the plan and to bring
the committee organization into being.
In brief, the plan will require the
creation of clearing house committees

Mr. Hoover assured the meeting
which was~attended by more than fifty
operators, that the plan would be "vol-

posed that the scale of prices fixed by
Fuel Administrator Garfield in 1917
with such adjustments as may be
necessary, should serve as the rough
basis for price agreements. The con-

Murphy Denies
HeCave Hearst
Pledge of Aid
Tammany Leader Says He
Hasn't Seen Editor Nor
Talked With Him on Gov
ernorship; No Promise

Charles r. Murphy. leader of Tam
many Hall, denied yesterday stories
being circulated by the Hearst boomers
that he had given assurances to Will
liam Randolph Hearst that he would
support the latter in the fight for the
Governorship.
When Mr.. Murphys attention was
called to the latest story emanating
from Hearst headquarters to the effect
that he and Mr.. Hearst recently met
and that the Tammany chief assured
his visitor that he was for him if
Mr. Hearst developed strength up
state. Mr.. Murphy said:
"'That is not so. I have not seen
Mr. Hearst or talked with him. Nor
have | talked with any of Mr.. Hearst's
representatives. And the same is true
of all other candidates and their rep
resentatives. I have not talked with
any of them
"What chance, in your opinion, has
Mr.. Hearst of being nominated for
Governor?" Mr.. Murphy was asked
at is too early to talk candidates"
replied the Tammany leader. The
convention which will nominate the
state ticket will not meet until Sep
tembcr."
Political Derelicts Active
"Mr. Foley (the veteran Tammany
leader of the 1st Assembly DISTRICT
has declared that if Mr.. Hearst is nom
mated he will resign from Tammany
Hall and work for the defeat of Mr..
Hearst" Mr.. Murphy was told Then
the Tammany leader was asked: Did
Mr.. Foley communicate these sentl-
ments to you?'
With an amused smile, Mr.. Murphy
replied:
IL have not talked with any of the
leaders about candidates, and they
have not talked to me about them"
Stories of Tammhny support as put
out by the Hearst camp were OF two va
rieties, One was that Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Murphy met and talked things over
and had reached an amicable under
standing, and that Mr.. Murphy pledged
the editor politician the support of
Tammany in his fight for upstate dele
gates.
The other story was that William J.
Conners, political general OF the
Hearst forces, had a private talk with
Mr.. Murphy and had lined him up for
Mr.. Hearst.
Tammany leaders tell other stories.
| They declare that the confidential re-
ports from upstate are that Mr.. Hearst
has been unable to line up a single
county leader and that his agents in
the various counties have been unable
to make any headway, and that those
in charge of the Hearst campaign
from Mr.. Conners down, are all men
who have been displaced in the party
councils by other Democrats.

official statement issued earlier in the
evening, to discuss a suggestion Of the
President that the 12-hour work day
be abolished for the good Of Industrial

spokesman for the guests when the

of the conference was to consider the
question "Whether or not it is practi-

The departure of the guests from
the White House bore out the Presi-
dents statement of the informality of
the meeting as the President chatted
with the departing guests in the en-
trance as they were taking their leave.
The. guests were told by the Presi-
dent that the United States was about
to witness a great industrial revival
and that the one hope of doing away
with the excessively Tong work day
was to do it before the full swing of
business resumed.
Mr.. Harding said he had found SEN
