PLAN
TO HALT PRICE
RISE APPROVED
Agreement Secured with Repre-
sentatives of Two National
Coal Associations
ASK RETAILERS
AID
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, June 16.-Secretary
Hoover has secured the agreement of
representatives of the National Coal
Association and the National Retail
Coal Merchants Association on plan
for preventing advance in coal prices,
covering both the producing and dis.
tributing branches of the industry.
Following q conference with spokes-
men of the associations yesterday an.
nouncement was made by Mr.. Hoover
that anthracite coal operators had
agreed not to advance prices of stocks
now held above the grounds above the
levels of the past week, which he
said, were lower than at the begin
ming of the strike. In bituminous
fields where no price basis has yet
been established, Mr. Hoover said the
operators, according to the agree
ment will be earnestly requested" to
reduce selling expenses for spot coal
to the Garfield Price, plus additions
necessary to cover increased costs In
individual cases. The secretary said
he believed this plan should result in
price reductions in several districts
of Pennsylvania and West Kentucky,
adding that he already had been as
sured of the acceptance of this basis
for Pennsylvania.
The agreement reached with repre-:
sentatives of the retail association
Mr.. Hoover said, was that they
should cooperate to secure among 9TH
er things that all coal is sold by re-
ktailers "at cost plus reasonable sell
ing charge" ,-.

Washington, d. c., July 20-The
first steps to reopen the coal mines
and replenish supplies sunk to a
level that is paralyzing industries,
were under way today in two coal
producing states. Governor Groen-

he was ready to assume state con-

open and operate them with either
union or nonunion labor.
In western Pennsylvania, armed
and mounted guards defended the
property of two mines that prepared
to resume operations. With the
complete collapse of the rail peace
negotiations announced from Chi
cago, and the clash of union and
open shop interests imminent in 28
coal producing states the country for
the first time faced the full gravity
of an industrial crisis.

FARM, SAYS STATE.

Faulkton, July 20-Infatuation
for the wife of his employer and his
desire to get her and her husband s
farm, were the motives established
by the state here yesterday in it's
case against Clyde Chambers, who is
being tried here for the murder of
William v. Monroe on the night of
April % last. The state conclud-
ed it's testimony Monday noon after
occupying solid week with the ex-
animation of witnesses. Following
the denial of motion by the de-
evidence to link the defendant with
the crime the defense took up its
burden. There is a rumor here that
Chambers may be called TO the wit
ness stand in his own defense as a
last resort.
Mrs. Monroe occupied the witness
ltand most of Monday morning, and
told of overtures made to her by
Chambers. She stated that he want
ed just such a farm as Mr.. Monroe

ed to Mrs. Monroe that she di-
vorce her husband and marry. him.
Mrs. Monroe did not consider the
matter seriously, as she knew that
Chambers had spells in which he
still showed evidence of suffering
from shell shock received in the
trenches during the war, but she ad-
vised him to leave the farm.
Three hours after the murder was
Mrs. Monroe, according TO the tes-
timony. that he take over the man
agement of the farm.
Although subjected to gruelling
cross examination by the defense.
Mrs. Monroe was not shaken in her
testimony.
Saturday afternoon the jury was
taken to the Monroe farm and shown
over the premises, and conducted
over the route taken by the murder
er after the killing.
