HOOVER WILL ASK OPERATORS HELP
 IN COAL SHORTAGE
Producers in Six States to Re- ceive New Distribution Plan to Protect Railroads and
 Industries Today
By Associated Press

Washington, July 23.-Operators from the coal producing districts of six states will be asked tomorrow by Secretary Hoover to cooperate with the government and the railroads in plan to insure the distribution of fuel to the carriers and public utili- ties and to prevent profiteering dur ing the strike.
 MT Hoover's scheme. which con templates the formation of central committee to operate through local committees in the producing districts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama. Virginia and West Virginia and Penp- sylvania. was threshed out today at a series of conferences of the fed eral agencies involved. Before the opening of the meeting at 10 8. m. tomorrow. MT. Hoover will have from Attorney General Daugherty re- port on the powers accruing to the government in the emergency through the cooperation of the interstate commerce commission and it's author fly under the law regulating inter state commerce.
 Emergency Machine
 In general. MT. Hoover's program was understood to contemplate ihe creation of an emergency machine with the committee composed or n representative from the departments of commerce, justice, interior and the interstate commerce commission, with the commerce secretary as chairman, operating through the local committee established in the produc- ing districts at the time Of the volun- tary agreements, fixing maximum fair prices.
 Pooling of coal in the producing 8 districts and distribution of cars un- der a preferential system to be in- stituted under authority of the inter state commerce commission, Is plan ned to permit quick shipment of coal to the destinations where most needed. Cooperation between tfc railroads and the l. c. c. would make possible adequate supply of i cars and establishment of freight embargoes if necessary. to facilitate l fuel movement
 Operators Drafted As, | Representatives. of the operators i and the ,railroads are to be drafted 1 into service as administrative aids to the central committee to provide d. rect contact with these industries.
 Price maintenance is to be sought l through efforts to obtain a more general observance on the part of ] small operators of the voluntary | price agreements already In force 1 and by cooperation on the part of the railroads to prevent competitive bidding sending coal prices skyward.
 I. c. c. Trump Card
 While MT. Hoover's scheme was 1 declared to be based on the cooper ation of the parties at interest in continuing the distribution of coal the authority of the I. c. C. to act in emergency In behalf of interstate commerce was held to be the gov ernment's trump" card. To this end l appointment of representatives of the
