NO ADVANCE
in COAL PRICES

Washington, June 5.-Agreement
with representatives of the National
Coal association and the National Re
tail Coal Merchants association upon
plan for preventing advance of bi-
luminous coal prices during the
strike was announced tonight by Sec.
retary Hoover after conference at
the commission commerce depart
ment. Anthracite coal operators,
Mr. Hoover stated, have agreed not
to advance prices of stock now held
above ground above the levels of tn !.
past week, which he added, were low
er than at the beginning 70 the strike.
Bituminous operators in fields
where price basis has not yet been
established, Mr.. Hoover said, will be
earnestly requested" to reduce sell
ing expenses for spot coal to the
Garfield price including the standard
selling expense, plus "such additions
for increased costs as were justified
in each individual case"
The complexity of local condi-
tions,' he said, due to the strike
and the entrance of many Snow bird
mines, make the estimate of maxi
mum prices very difficult in many dis
tricts. This plan, if adhered to,
should result in reduction of prices
in several districts of Pennsylvania
and west Kentucky. l have some as
surances that this basis will be ac-
cepted for Pennsylvania, and | hope
west Kentucky will also fall into
line"
Persistent misstatement or misun-
derstanding of elements inside and
outside the coal industry, Mr.. Hoover
asserted, has given rise to the i'm
preston in some quarters that the
maximum of $3.50 ton for spot coal
established with operators of 80 per
cent of the producing fields, consti-
tuted minimum prices and offered op-
portunity for occasional advantage
be ng taken.
There have been few violations OF
the spirit of this agreement in Vir-
ginia, eastern Kentucky and Tennes.
see, Mr.. Hoover said, where prices
for spot coal averaged about So =
ton, varying from $3.50 to 1925 with
an occasional sale at the maximum
More than half the tonnage, he add
ed, is moving as contract coal at av-
erages below 1928 while Alabama
coal is being offered at from $1s2 tc
$2.10. At present, he declared, there
| is a surplus of unsold coal at Vir.
ginia tidewater and in Alabama
/ which it would be fo advantage OF
| larger consumers to obtain as public
demands will enlarge later in the sea
| son.
Permanent settlement of the Goa
strike, Mr.. Hoover said, discussing
the mine controversy, will rest upor
some solution of the problem of in
termittency of employment in the
coal industry.
Part of those employed in coal min
ing, he explained, receive less thar
an annual living wage while on tht
othe.' extreme there are the high an
nual wages where there is permanen
employment
There have been from 10 to Is diff
fercnt proposals for solving the prob
lem of intermittency of employment
in the coal idustry, Mr.. Hoover said
some Of which would not require leg
islation. He declined to discuss thes,
suggestions further at this time, how

SENATE BATTLE
EXPECTED SOON

Washington, June Is. - A bitter
fight in the senate next week over
the soldiers bonus issue was pre-
dicted in all senate quarters tonight
as result of numerous informal Re-
publican conferences today to which
President Harding was party.
A call for formal party confer
ence of Republican senator's next
Monday morning to discuss procedure
with the bonus and pending tariff
bills, together with the proposed ma
jority cloture rule, was issued late
today by Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, Republican floor leader, after
he had conferred with the president
and many Republican senator's.
Also next Monday, if the naval ap-
preparation bill is passed, meanwhile
motion to lay aside the tariff bill
and proceed with the bonus measure
will be made by Senator McCumber
(Rcpublican) of North Dakota, chair
man !cf the senate finance committee
and in charge of both bills.
Senator McCumber said he would
make his motion with full knowledge
of President Harding's views that the
bonus bill should be delayed until af-
ter disposal of the tariff measure and
also regardless of what course the
Republican conference should recon-
mend. Senator McCumber said he did
not object to the party conference,
but would not "be bound" by its de-
cision.
President Harding in his talk with
Senator Lodge on the senate legis-
lative jam was said to have reiterated
his opinion that the tariff bill should
be pressed. The president was rep
resented as holding this view Every
strongly" and his statement was
transmitted to Republican ranks by
Senator Lodge. The president also, it
was said, believed that after disposal
of the tariff bill and before consid-
Grafton of the bonus measure the ad-
ministration ship subsidy bill should
be given senate right of way.
Senator McCumber's plan to move
for consideration of the bonus bill
next Monday was said tonight to in
sure a battle royal in the senate.

The little girl and two boys, Or

three years old, were playing in the
woods when the negroes approached

Excessive freight cost is now re-
garded by road builders as perhaps
the heaviest cost burden limiting good
roads construction. lr consequence,
-cnginuers arc giving greater atten-
tion than ever to the utilization of To-
cal materials. Wyoming good roads
boosters have recently given promin-
ence to the slogan wyoming mater

to the new and considerable supply of
asphaltic petroleum being developed
in that territory and to extensive local
of gravel and stone that are
available all along the route and that
are peculiarly adapted to use with To-
cal asphalts. The same considerations
hold where other types of pavement
are made practicable by the low cost
of local materials. Highway econ
