Bugbee. Although the immediate needs Of the situation are vague, it was the consensus of the commission that conditions are serious and that all energies must be directed towards simplifying what appears to be a sit uation which will continue through out the fall and winter.
 'tThe supply is going to be limited" |" said MT. Russell following the meet ing, "and the only thing the state com mission can do is to see that coal is distributed at a fair price to al1.'

New Premier Asks Aid To Strife
General Strike of the Fa- cisti Called Off-Train Is Derai1ed at Ancona in Disorders - N e w Cabinet Is Hopeful for Peace.

Rome, Aug. 3 - Premier Facta, who succeeded in form ing a cabinet after a ministerial crisis of nearly two weeks, to- day issued an appeal to the na- ton to "obey the law and to be prepared for sacrifices for the common welfare"
 The first disorders in the general strike were reported from Leghorn where two members of the Fascist were wounded.
 A train was derailed at Ancona.
 The Fascist are demanding that the strike be terminated at once and their threats to take over the gov ernment have brought about a deli cate situation.
 Nearly 100, 900 members of the Fas- cisti, practically all of them ex-sol- diers, have been mobilized in the northern and central parts of Italy. The leaders said they would protect workingmen who refused to obey the strike order and would prevent strik- CTS from damaging factories that" are still in operation.
 Earlier cables declared the general strike had been called off.

Washington, Aug. B With both the railroads and their striking shopnen definitely on record as pledging future ad- herence to decisions of the Rail way Labor Board, President Harding and his cabinet advis- CTS faced the critical industrial situation hopefully today, if not confidently.
 While it was admitted by admins tration leaders that settlement of the immediate strike of 300,00 shopcraft workers apparently is nearly as far distant as ever. they neverth eIess re- gard the replies of both railroads and unions to the White House peace pro- posals as constituting a moral vic tory of considerable magnitude.

 Both sides have now admitted the supremacy and the authority of the board to determine wages and work ing conditions and have given their respective words to faithfully observe it's findings. With this as a basis on which to proceed, administration
