The Federal agents and the police
entered the hall quietly and took seats
in the back. When William z. Foster
head of the league and chairman Of the
meetings, arose and announced an ad-
| journment for the day, one Of the
policemen stood UP and announced that
he and his aids were there to take into
custody q number of alleged fugitives
from justice wanted by the Michigan
authorities and others wanted for de-
| portation.
Select Men from Crowd
The hundred or more delegates sat
! quietly in their seats while the gov
ernment agents went from row to row
! picking those they wanted. The other
| delegates were allowed to go. A crowd
which gathered during the proceedings
jeered the delegates as they left the
| building.

Labor Herald" the organ of the
| league.
| The Trades Union Educational
| League adopted a constitution written
| by Foster at the meeting. The purpose
| it was announced, is to consolidate all
| the labor unions of the country into
fourteen industrial organizations. This
| would be done by work within the
unions as they now stand. The consti-
| tuition as adopted provided that the
| first essential to membership in the
| league would be membership in n rec

Foster Assails Gompers
| Approximately 1875 persons attended
| the session of the conference, but only
| forty-five of these were accredited del
| egates. A half dozen came from New
| York.
| Foster, in his speech, declared that
| a tidal wave of sentiment was sweep
| ing the country toward the "solidar-
| ity" idea. He assailed Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
| Grafton Of Labor, who, he said, is doing
more to crystalize sentiment in favor
| of the league than any other party
| "Some say that the league is the work
| of Lenine," Foster added. "Let me tell
| you this: the. workers don't give. a
damn where the idea came from. What
they want is something that is better
| than they have now. We are going
to give them that thing. Gompers will
| force them to accept Russia if he

greater seriousness this afternoon
when it became known that 100 mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Railroad

The strike was voted by l.. G. Foster

Trainmen.
Because of the previous strike by
the fremen, it was anticipated by rail
road officials. Surprise, however, was
manifest at the action Of the twenty
clerks, who went out on sympathy
strike" Officials declared they be-
lieved the grievances of the clerks had
been settled and that they would have
no more trouble with them.
A number of passengers stranded
here on the Chicago & Alton road were
taken to their destinations or to an
other railroad by automobile to-day.

hack into shape, issued by Robert s.
finkerd, OF the Association Of Railway
Executives, indicate that during the
first four days this week, 73,768 cars
were loaded with coal. This was an
increase Of 1902 cars or 35 per cent
over the total for the first four days
Of last week, and is the largest mum
Der Of cars loaded with coal during
any four day period since the miners
strike began on April /.
4 At this rate, say the executives, pro-
duction would be approximately 6,000,-
900 tons per week, or 725,000 tons in
excess of the best previous week, which
was in June, when there was no strike
of railway shopmen in effect. Reports
show that 1874 cars were loaded with
Goa! on Thursday, August "a, the latest
figures available, said Mr.. Binkerd.
This was an increase Of 615 cars over
the preceding day, and within 259 cars
of last Monday, when 1908 cars were
loaded. the greatest number since the
miners, strike has been in progress.
The maintenance Of way cases to
come before the Railroad Labor Board
tomorrow were discussed yesterday by
John G. Walber. executive secretary
of the Bureau of Inform alton for the
Eastern railroads. Mr.. Walber said:
sIn all wage hearings before the
United States Railroad Labor Board
since 1920, the representatives of the
railroad employees have based their
claims for increases in wages almost
entirely upon SPECIALIZED "cost of living
budgets; minimum wage" budgets;
Subsistence" budgets; "health and de-
cency" budgets, or "health and com
fort" budgets.
ain so doing they practically disre-
garded the seven elements specifically
recited in the transportation act of
1920 as factors to be taken into con-
sideration by the labor board in the
determination OF just and reasonable
wages.
"The following are among the rea-
sons why no theoretical budget can,
with justice, be applied uniformly to
railroad wages in all territories:
/. Conditions are not the same in
ali localities.
2. Tastes and habits are not the
same.

Coal Control Bill Opposed
The coal distribution and price con
troll legislation asked by President
Harding was introduced in the House
to-day by Chairman Winslow of the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. 1t is planned to pass it
through the lower house early next
week.
The new Winslow bill gives the pro-
posed Federal Fuel Distributor power
to refuse cars to any one refusing to
abide by priee-fxing agreements, and
would turn over to him complete
charge of distribution. The heavy pen
alties carried for refusals to obey
orders range from $1,000 to $4,000 in
fines and penitentiary terms not ex-
ceeding two years.
An appropriation of $250,o00 is provid-
ed for the expenses of the distributor.
The present Spencer coal administration
which has been functioning without
funds for some time, would receive
$4,000 Immediately upon its passage.
Another point in which the Winslow
bill differs from the Cummins measure
pending in the Senate is that it gives
the President power to declare SINH
lar emergency at any time in the flu
ture and invoke the provisions of the
bill at any time he deems necessary
to the welfare of the country.

100000 Tons
Of Soft Coal,

Geological Surveys Report
Backed by Rail Mem Who
Disclose Record Loadings
at Biiuniinous Mines
Production Not Normal
Figures Slightly Below Last
Years Best; Anthracite

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-- Production
of 6000,ooo tons of soft coal already is
assured for the present week and the
output may reach 6,250,00C tens, the
Geological Survey declared to-day in
its weekly review Of the coal industry.
Bituminous production last week
amounted to about 100000 tons, and
the largest production since the coal
strike began and prior to this week
was 5,40O,000 tons for the week imme-
diately preceding the rail strike.
The Geological Surveys estimate was
supported by an announcement from
the Association of Railway Executives
that reports from coal carrying rail
roads showed loadings for the first four
days of this week amounting to 73,T6S
cars, an increase Of 35 per cent over the
loadings for the first four days of last
week. The associations announcement
also predicted total production of
100000 tons.
Anthracite Output Zero
Anthracite production, however, re-
mains practically Zero the survey plac-
ing the weeks output at $4,000 tons,
principally steam sizes recovered by
river dredges.
Cumulative production of anthracite
to date in 1929, the survey said, stands
at about 22,a00,000 tons, against 59,-
129,G00 tons during the corresponding
period in 1921.
Shipments from mines opening un-
der the Cleveland wage agreeent, the
survey declared, have already mate
rally increased production of btu
minous, but even with an output of
6,250,000 of bituminous week present
production is still below normal for
in the corresponding week Of 1921
E7,750,00o tons of bituminous were
mined.
Michigan Gets Coal
Authorization for the movement of
an additional $4,000 tons of soft coal
to Michigan was announced to-day by

Detroit and Jackson, Mich. This allo-
cation, officials added, was in addition
to 10000 tons authorized for the Pere
