 Opposition Growing.
 The drifting of sentiment against acceptance of President Harding's proposal which until today seemed to be confined to a few of the mora pears to dominate among executives here.
 Their attitude is that the strike is already to the shopmen and that by accepting the strike leaders, challenge to a flight to the finish" their shop forces will soon be re- cruited to normal strength and the power of the union disintegrated.

ALABAMA OWNERS BREAK AWAY FROM AGREEMENT
Hoover Charges Operators Are Raising PriceS-Com- merce Commission to
 Force Cooperation
By Associated Pres,

Washington, August 10.zUse of the emergency powers of the inter- state commerce commission to bring into line coal operators failing to cooperate with the federal fuel or ganization in the control of prices was under consideration today by the central coal committee.
 The governments defense against price advances above maximum charges agreed on by producing op- orators with Secretary Hoover was declared to lie in the powers of the interstate commerce commission to allocate coal cars so that mines boosting prices would be without transportation facilities. Depart ment of Justice officials were said to have advised the committee that the commission had ample authority under the law to so distribute cars to the mines as to effectively con- trol their charges. The question to be determined, it was understood was whether the commission would exercise these emergency powers to their full extent.

 Alabama operators. Mr. Hoover an nounced today, have broken away from the fair price agreements, he added, Governor Kilby of Alabama will be asked 10 take steps to pro- tect consumers there against rising prices.

 A plea for assistance in getting anthracite coal producing regions back to production was made todHy by S. D. warriner and s. D. Rich ards. representing the general poli- cy committee of all anthracite op- orators. They were presented to President Harding.
 MT, Warriner told the President that the resumption of work in the anthracite region was being pre- vented because the miners union and the btuminous coal operators had been unable to agree on wage scales.

HOOVER CALLS UPON
 RILEY TO COOPERATE

Washington, August 10.--Action Of Alabama coal operators in breaking away from the voluntary far price agreement resulted t/day in a special meeting of the federal control dis tribution committee being called by Secretary Hoover to discuss the sit- uation which officials regarded with apprehension.
 Secretary Hoover said Governor Kilby would be asked for his CO., operation in obtaining for Alabama consumers fair prices for coal mined in the state.
 MT. Hoover asserted he had been informed that 75 per cent of the Ala bama producing operators had broken away from the voluntary agreement fixing maximum prices for coal in that state at from s2.20 ton to S2.S0 a ton at the mines. They had in formed him he said, that they could no longer adhere to the fair price levels because of increasing expenses. especially enhanced by a shortage in coal car supplies.
 Obtain Increases.
 The Alabama operators declared, however, MT Hoover said, that 65 per cent of their number could be induced to adhere to maximum fair price level in coal districts where the creases over the present levels fixed for Alabama. He indicated that their proposal for higher prices received only slight consideration and inquiry has been started to determine what action can be taken by the federal committee to enforce maximum fair pric level in coal districts where the operators are not cooperating with the federal emergency organization.

Rail Executives Expected to Accept Presidents Peace ProposaI-Hooper Now

Rx AssncIated Press

Washington, August 10.-Nearly all officials of railroad unions who will participate in tomorrow's con- ference on President Harding's final proposal of basis for settling the strike, were here tonight and had completed a survey of the situation as presented to them by leaders of the seven shop craft organizations on strike.
 The only exceptions were the heads of the -four brotherhoods' of train service men who are expected to be on hand by 10 a. m. when the meeting Is to begin.
 Ben ". Hooper. chairman of the railg6ad labor board, also arrived today. He called on President Hard &g and later got In touch with union spokesmen.
 It was understood that Mir Hooper's efforts were to persuade both the rall executives and the union leaders to accept the Presi- dents offer, which suggested that the strike be called off. the men be taken back by the railroads and the question of their seniority status be dealt with by the board.
 Executives to Accept
 The White House was the source of intimations that the executives could be expected 7, accept the Presidents solution after their meet ing at New York tomorrow. Strike leaders. however, were apparently unchanged in their attitude of op position, although B. M. Jewell. chairman of the striking group, said they would not respond until after the general meeting, and added that the meeting could hardly reach de- cision before Saturday. He repudiated as unfounded suggestions that the shop craft unions expected sympa. thetic strikes from the other trans portation organizations, but left the impression that sympathetic action was expected. His group was con- stantly in session during the day.
