AGREEMENT ON COAL
CHARGES IN OHIO IS

Mines Now Demanding 81 to
$40 a Ton; Regulation
Asked by Official.

Washington, Aug. 20. - hmm ediate
action for the proper protection of the
public in the price of coal production
in Ohio was asked of Governor H. l..
Davis Saturday by Secretary Hoover.
In a telegram to the Ohio governor.
the commerce secretary declared that
coal operators in that state would vel
come some sort Of voluntary arrange
nent for establishing fair prices in
Ohio. H'f!
II am informed" Mr.. Hoover said.
that coal mines now opening under
the Cleveland agreement IN Ohio are
demanding from 81 to $40 a ton for
coal. In the meantime, the public util-
orders against southern fields where
the price is $3.50. You will recognize
that in this situation if we are to give
priorities as requested, it would not
be Just either to the operators or to
to persons in great need of coal in
other states. in view of the additional
supplies in Ohio"
Mr.. Hoover recalled that under the
Garfield scale the average price for
run of mine coal in the Pittsburgh dis
trict was about $3.50 a ton, but added
that the recent wage scale represents
a large increase over the basis of prices
at the time the Garfield scale was
fixed. However. he added. in Ken
lucky, where $3.50 a ton has been al
lowed as a maximum fair price pro-
duction. costs are higher than in Ohio.
West Virginia was brought into line
with Kentucky prices by Federal Fuel
Distributor Spencer, who allowed coal
operators in that state a maximum of
s.. 80 a ton at the mine. The previous
fair price prevailing in that state was
about $3.50 but Governor Morgan of
West Virginia suggested the increase
10 meet the new wage scale agree
ments and accelerate production.
Further increases Of fair price maxi
NUNS to the new $3.50 a ton level
was expected by federal coal officials.
who indicated that at governors Of the
various states recommended increased
prices to meet changed conditions the
necessary action would be taken by Mr..
Spencer.
Pending enactment of legislation as
suggested to congress by President
Harding for the creation Of a federal
coal purchasing agency, some officials
believe that volunteer fair prices prob
ably viii approximate about $3.50 a
ton at the mines unless production
reaches a point where charges would
drop automatically.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child's Hair With

II you want to keep your child's hair
in good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, make the hair brittle. and is
very harmful. Mulsified %coa oil
shampoo (which is pure and entirely
zreaseiess), is much better than any
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsified in a cup or glass with
a little warm water and rub it in. 1t
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanse the haid and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily. and remove every particle of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified c%ocoanut oil

However. the end of the Mccormick
embroglio is not yet in sight. Chicago
is wondering what the next chapter is
to be. Those who read the signs in
the air say that dark shadows gather

of thunder in the blue forecast storms

more and to prevent a serious shortage
of soft coal this winter it should in
crease at least 100000 tons more
weekly.
Operators Hold Back
Indiana and Illinois mines, as well
as those idle in central Pennsylvania,
are expected to resume operations
within 10 days. The great producing
field in the Pittsburgh section is not
going to sign the wage agreement un-
less there is an unanimous change of
hearts among its members. Neither
will the operators of southern Ohio.
Likewise the union operators of the
southwest-Arkansas, Kansas, Okla
homa and nearby fields-will generally
refuse to sign up on the basis of the
agreement.
Within the next three weeks these
fields may reasonably be expected to
attempt operations on a n%on-union
basis. They are at present almost
wholly union.
The report has been widely distrib-
uted among striking shopmen that the
railroad labor board stands five to four
against the restoration of seniority
rights in the present situation and
would vote accordingly.
That may explain in part the broth
erhood's unwillingness to have the issue
placed before the board for decision.
This isn't authoritative, of course, to
the report any more than there would
be to a report that the supreme court
of the United States stood five to four
on a certain case, yet to be decided,
but it is generally believed among the
shopmen.
Developments of the week included
an order to divert thousands of tons of
coal from the non-union field to the
west. The coal, which was badly need
ed in the territory supplied by the
mines, is still more badly needed. or
will be in the next week, and must be
sent there while the great lakes, over
which it is transported. are navigable.
Hoover Control Blows cp
Purchasing agents of all classes of
coal consumers still storm the non
union mines. The Hoover prices have
been shot all to smithereens. Buyers
have bid fancy against each other for
coal as yet unmined. In one field alone
prices have risen more than $50 per
cent for free coal since April. Gov
eminent reign Of coal prices in the
present emergency seems extremely
likely.
In the face of the confused business
situation. interest rates continue TO
fall. Money, except for a few sections
here and there. is a drug on the mar
ket. Investors found difficulty in OBJ
tanning gilt edge securities at attrac-
tive rates in volume sufficient to meet
requirements and during the six months
ending with this week placed more
than $500, 600 900 in the bank as time
deposits, to draw 2 and 3 per cent in
terest for lack of better bargains. ac-
cording to the latest figures Of the fed
eral reserve board.

AND MUSIC WRITER
Louis Koemmenich Kills Self
After Learning of

New York. Aug. GA strange story
of ar elderly German music master 8
~infatuation for a youthful prOtege that
led both the master and the girl to
suicide was unfolded Saturday by the
wife Of Louis koemmenich. a noted
composer and conductor.
A week ago. Vera Lehman. a young
actress known on the stage as Vera

died last Monday morning.
Twelve hours later the body Of
Koemmenich. clad in silk pajamas. was

turned on. Koemmenich had been
asphyxiated. AT his side was found an
unsigned note:
Just received word that Vera com
mitted suicide. This being a great loss
to me. there is nothing else left for
me to do"
Koemmenich was 55 years old, had
been married 80 years and was the
father of a son and two daughters, n
of them married.
The World war came: Koemmenich's
heart was with Germany and when the

Washington, Aug. 20.-Rail and coal
troubles hit business their hardest
blow during the present week. Every
report coming into Washington tells
virtually the same story. Troubles be-
of the prolonged strikes vary only IN
the degrees Of their acuteness. From
the harvest fields Of the middle west
to the great fruit growing sections OF
the Pacific coast and the factories OF
the north Atlantic seaboard, activity
slowed down.
The only hope of betterment. &C
cording to reports to the government
and to private oagencies here, lies in a
speedy settlement Of the railroad situa-
ton and a quick and decided increase
in soft coal production.
Contrary to the general belief. the
soft coal mines have not resumed OPP
erations on the grand scale hoped for.
The treaty of Cleveland" signed this
week by the warning coal operators
and their men. still leaves $4,000
men, or thereabouts, idle in the btu
rinous fields. Less than 10 per cent
of the country's soft coal production
signed the agreement. The other So
per cent, with the exception of the
non-union fields, is still on strike.
Coal production has not increased at
the rate of about 100000 tons a
week. At hand to mouth requirements
it must increase at least 100000 tons

was effected not directly but by means
of the banks from which the harvester
company draws its loans.
Settlement id January Of his divorce
from his former wife, Edith Rookie
teller Mccormick, made further heavy
drains upon the personal fortunes of
Mr.. Mccormick. And now his sane
ton of marriage of his daughter, Ma
thilde, and Max Oser, in defiance of
the opposition OF the girls mother and
grandfather, John D. himself, adds
Mathilde to his already unwieldy ex-
pense account. Although the rumor
that Mathilde's marriage with the
Swiss riding master will cut her off
from her share in the Rockefeller mil
lions has never been confirmed, it is
generally understood that Edith Rookie
Teller Mccormick is at present contrib
uting nothing to the special aid OF the
daughter who defied her. Nor, more
over, has Mathilde, who is still a minor,
as yet come into any substantial be-
quests from the oil kings fortunes.
Mathilde is still on papa's hands.
Mr.. Mccormick, in the meantime.
is touring Europe incognito with his
new bride. the beautiful Polish opera
singer. playing the flattering role of
her fourth husband.
It has been stated that Mccormick
gave Gamma, upon their marriage, a
cash wedding gift running into millions
and is in the process OF purchasing
a princely estate as a love nest for
the pair. Reports, however, are di-
vided as to whether this is to be in
Lake Forrest or in Switzerland.
How the European connections of
the family would regard a sudden
economy streak is a problem.
Mccormick has also promised the
the greatest opera star in the world.
If America is to be made the scene
of her triumphs. snags would be en-
countered in the influence of his ex-
wife. For five years MIR. and Mrs.
Mccormick were patron saints of
opera in Chicago.
Mrs. NJ. Has Money
Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick's in
fluence with the present Chicago
opera campaign reigns potent as that
of her former husband and her finan-
cial are even greater. Also
the fair Gamma has had one unfor-
tunate experince with opera in Chi
cago, when two years z Director
Maroonuzzi refused to let her sing the
title role in ..Zaza" after he had
heard her in the first rehearsal.
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, mean
while, divorced by her husband, de-
serted by her children, all three of
whom turned against her for the
father at the time of the divorce,
seeks soiace for her loneliness in
Freudian psychology and the com
partnership of krenn, the swarthy
skinned young architect who is now
r~emodeling her Lake Forest estate.
The two are constantly seen together,
riding, driving, %strolling over the
grounds of the Lake Forest estate
and attending lectures and concerts.
