FOR CONTROL
OF COAL DIS
TRIBUTION
In the Meantime Soft Coal
Operators and Leaders
of Striking Miners Begin
Their Deliberations in
Cleveland With View Of
Settlement Of Strike

Washington, D. c.. Aug. lO.--Actior
Of Alabama coal operators in breaking
away from the voluntary fair price
agreement resulted to-day in a special
meeting of the federal control distri-
button committee being called by Sec.
retary Hoover to discuss the situation
which officials regarded with apprehen-
sion.
Cleveland, Aug. 70 (By the Associ-
ated Pressl The policy committee of
the United Mine Workers of America
to-day voted to proceed with the me-
gotiation of wage scale agreement
with the operators Of Ohio; western
Pennsylvania; Indiana and Illinois.
Announcing the committees deci-
sion, President John J.. Lewis of the
miners, said: Il confidently predict
that when scale is made here that
IS per cent of all the. bituminous tom
mage now on strike will sign the scale
and return to work within week"
Settlement of the strike in the an
thracite regions which also have been
shut down since April |, when; the min
ers walked out, would naturally fol-
low the resumption of work in the
soft coal industry, Mr.. Lewis said. This
settlement, however would be reached
through negotiations with the miners
and the anthracite operators and no
date has yet been set for the resump-
tion Of their negotiations, which we're
broken of in june.
Refusal of the Indiana and Illinois
operators associations to join the con-
ference here, Mr.. Lewis said, makes
no difference in proceeding toward
making an agreement. He asserted that
the miners had definite assurance that
producers" of these two
states would accept any scale decided
ON by the conference.

ALABAMA OPERATORS
BREAK AWAY FROM THE
FAIR PRICE AGREEMENT
BROAD AUTHORITY
OYER TARIFF TAXES
Senate Considers Possibility of Giving
Such Authority to the
President.

Washington, d. c., Aug. l0.--Provi.
sions of the tariff bill under which the
president would be given broad author
| ity over taxes, levied at the customs
houses, occupied the attention to-day
Of the Senate. These with the Freling
huysen and other suggestions for a
Scientific" tariff were to be disposed
of by tomorrow night, two days for
their consideration having been set
aside by the unanimous consent agree
ment, entered into last week.
On Saturday, the Senate will take
up the sundries schedule under an
agreement sharply limiting the time
senators may talk on each amendment
full that the bill could be passed and
sent to conference before the end of
the week.
Before quitting work last night the
Senate voted, 80 to 26 to concur in the
action of the House in keeping hides
on the free list. Boots and shoes we're
restored to the free list without
record vote.
No New England senator's voted for
a duty on hides but the following
voted against the proposal:
Republicans Brandegee, Connecti-
cut; Colt, Rhode Island; Dillingham;,
Vermont; Hale, Maine; Keyes, New
Hampshire; Lodge Massachusetts,; and
Moses, New Hampshire.
Democrats--Gerry, Rhode Island, and
Walsh, Massachusetts.
Most of the more marked lines which |
have developed in the Senate during the |
tariff fight disappeared on this vote,
but about the only surprise was that |
/ majority Of the Republicans voted |
against making hides dutiable. Not
,nly was there split among the ma
oritv leadership on the question, but |
llso in the finance committee majori- |
" and even in the Republican agricul-
.ural tariff bloc which through its
.hairman, Senator Gooding Of Idaho,
lad asked for, two cents on green hides
ind six on dried hides.
Only two members of the finance
majority-Curtis and Smoot
the duties, while four
Dillingham;, Freling-
luysen and Sutherland-voted against
hem. Chairman McCumber and SEN
tor Watson of Indiana, the other
wo members present, were paired and
nable to vote. Five members of the
ariff bloc broke away on the ballot

But There Is Nothing to
Indicate Acceptance of
Harding Proposal
RELATING TO
| SENIORITY
Presidents Purpose in the
Event of Failure of Media
tion Not Known

Washington, d. G., Aug. lo.--Pres
ident Harding probably will receive Of
Monday or Tuesday Of next week tn
formal answer of the rs1 shopcraft
federation to his proposal that the Sc
niority dispute left to the railroad la
Dor board for decision.
Executive heads Of the shopmen',
union were again to-day engaged il
conferences preparatory to drafting
their reply; but B. M. Jewell, spokes
man for the group, reiterated that the
general conference Of railroad labor
organization heads on Friday would
be consulted and indicated that il
might take several days to get the
communication to the president into
shape.
Discussions yesterday among the
shop craft executives only served to
strengthen the impression that the
presidents new plan would be rejected
by the men, Heads Of the railroad
management are to meet in New York
Friday to frame their answer to the
White House proposal.
In the meantime nothing has come
to light to indicate that the admins
tration has definite program pre-
pared to present to Congress should
the presidents latest effort at medi-
alton in the rail strike situation prove
unavailing Indications are, accord
ing to House leaders who have dis
cussed the matter at the White House,
that the president believes IL wise to
have Congress standing by ready to
take a hand at any time ii became
necessary and that this prompted his
request that plans for three day re-
cesses of the House after it recon
venes next Tuesday be abandoned
A new complication in the rail sit
uation due TO action OF members OF
unions not on strike in hav-
ing refused to work under conditions
resulting from shopmen's Strike at
Toilet. ILL.,, apparently was causing con-
.ern in administration circles Legis-
ative representatives of the non-strik-
ng brof herhoods were called into con
'ultation yesterday with Secretary Ds-
'is of the labor department. No state
nents were issued after this meeting.
As executive heads of the unions in
'olved in the protest walkout at Joli-
It are TO be present at Fridays gen
raj conference here, il was regarded |
IS probsble that this phase of the rail |
trike problrm would he fully copsid- |
red in connection with the reply with
he shopmen TO the presidents new
'eace proposal.
