Plans for Conference

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 14:-Mem.
bers of the Federal Coal Commission
today were completing plans for a
meeting in New York tomorrow with
representatives of union miners ano
| operators in the anthracite field
summoned by the commission to re.
new negotiations in order to avert
a shutdown of the anthracite mines
on September /. The summons was
issued yesterday with the approval
of President Coolidge after he had
been informed of the situation in de.
tail in conference with members OF
the commission.
An agreement to insure continu-
ance of production after expira-
ton of the present wage contract
| whether or not there has been a
settlement by that date of the ques-
tions over which the two sides are
now deadlocked, will be the first OBJ
| jective of the commission, it was
said.
| Despite the present status OF
| negotiations, there are several ele-
ments in the situation which govern
nlent officials view as having an i'm
rortant bearinS III weighing the pos
Slblllties Of a suspension of anth-
rac!!e production. One is the ,s-
lsibiliiy of large scale substitution
of bituminous coal IS consumers.
bituminous operators having offered
to undertake to make available suit
able types of bituminous, and an
other is the unusually heavy produc-
tion of anthracite during recent
months, which is now in storage.
With such an agreement obtain
| ed, the commission then would be
| expected to continue mediation in
the dispute, concentrating first on
| the union demand for installation
under the new wage contract of the
check off, system of collection of
union dues. 1t was this demand
that broke up the conference be-
tween union representatives and
| operators at Atlantic City ten days
before the wage increase and other
demands had even been discussed.
! Not only President Coolidge and
the members of his cabinet but most
of the senators and representatives
who are in Washington are watch
ing closely the trend of developments
in the anthracite industry. When
the cabinet met today the President
had before him much detailed in
| formation, but there was no indica-
| tio- that any action by the White
House was contemplated pending
the outcome of the conference to be
held tomorrow in New York.
Since he was elevated to the presi-
dency, Mr.. Coolidge has been urged
by many members of Congress to
do everything possible to prevent a
suspension of production. Today
Senator Keyes, Republican, New
Hampshire, came to the capital with
the principal object he said, of ad-
vising the President that New Hamp-
shire would support him in any
measures which he might find nee
essary to assure a continued output
of coal.

Cabinet on Party Lines

BERLIN. Aug. IA (By The Asse-
ciated Press) ):-The new German
cabinet has been constructed wholly
along party lines, and with respect
to individual strength it is cooked
upon as weaker than the so-called
non-partisan or business ministry it
succeeds.
The appointment OF DR.. Rudolf
Hilferding to the ministry of finance
is subject of much comment. DR.
Hilferding is Austrian born, a aatur-
allied German. He is a doctor of
medicine by profession but of late
years has occupied himself with
theoretic socialism. He was a mem
ber of the independent sociahsl
party before the two wings of the
party amalgamated and was editor
of his factions organ. Die Freiheit.
The retirement of General Groener
from the ministry of transportation
is viewed as a distinct loss, as ne is
considered the ablest transportation
authority in Germany and is leaving
now post which demands a strong
administrative incumbent in view of
the techLica, and financial problems
involved in reviving the nations rail-
way system. His successor is Herr
Oeser. Of the German Democratic
party.

PO|NCARE WILL
ANSWER NOTE
Will be Stout Re-affirmation
of French Viewpoint and
Rejection of Suggestions

PARIS, Aug. IA (By The Asso-
lated Press Premier Poincare, who
will return to Paris tonight, has in
formed his collaborators at the for
eign office that he intends, "in the
most courteous manner possible"
to reply point by point to the note
of Lord Curzon, British secretary for
foreign affairs, on the reparation
question. Although the reply will be
courteous it is asserted in foreign
office circles that it will be a stout
lreaffirmation of the French view
point and a Hat rejection of the Brit
ish suggestions.
The reply will be sent as soon as
possible, probably before the end of
the week
Although it is no longer assumed
in official quarters here that the En-
tente may survive the present diff
ferences. The situation is taken with
perfect calm in government circles,
as well as by the press and public.
The French have, in fact, long con-
sidered the Entente as virtually de-
funct, so far as concerns cooperation
between England and France on the
| lapplication of the terms of the treaty
of Versailles.
Lord Curzon's note is taken merely
as a public recognition of that fact
I by the British government with the
aim of throwing the responsibility for
/ the rupture upon France.
Premier Poincare, it is understood
will carefully omit anything that
might be taken as a denunciation of
the Entente, leaving the initiative
in the final rupture to the British
government.
If Prime Minister Baldwin decides
to call an international conference
to fix Germany's capacity to pay that
action will be taken by the French
it is forecast. as an unfriendly act
which will end the cordial relations
that have existed for nearly twenty
years. France will then simply re-
call the fact that. after all. she is
the principal creditor of Germany
and that care must be taken that her
rights as such are not infringed
upon.

In Mcclellan Street Damage
Over $7,000-Great Crowd
Collected by Blaze
SAVE OTHER BUILDINGS
Firemen Confused by Alarms
Practically Entire De-
partment at Scene

A fire, of unknown origin, was
discovered in the one-story brick
building of David Splitter & Son at
.2S5 Mcclellan street, by Mr..
ellis at $3.50 o'clock last night. The
building is occupied by the Middle
sex Lighting company.
Sergeant Frank Kasprzak was in
formed by Mr.. Gillis at the corner
or Smith street and Madison ave-
nue., and an alarm was turned in
from box "a at the same corner,
At practically the same time, 1t Is
said, alarms were turned in from
boxes 20 at Smith street and the
Central railroad, and 26 at Market
and First streets.
The ringing of the three alarms
confused the men in charge at the
different fire houses and the trucks
first started for box 36 at New
Brunswick avenue and New street.
but were Immediately attracted by
the flames leaping from the Nc
Clellan street structure.
Fed by material of an :nfamma-
bic nature, the fire which started
in the rear of the store. tossed up
flames which for time threatened
the two story wooden structure TO
the south. The flames were visible
for considerable distance and at
tracted many people from this city
and neighboring towns.
Firemen Work Fast
The three alarms brought out
practically the entire department
and under the leadership of Chief
John Campbell the firefighters made
quick time in checking the blaze.
The ffremen were handicapped
somewhat by the way the buildings
along that stretch are punched They
were forced to work from Maple and
Mcclellan streets.
A real start had been obtained by
the flames before the fire was dis
covered, and the delay caused by the
turning in of the three alarms al
lowed the store to be almost COM
pletely gutted. The large plate glass
window in the front of the store
cracked from the heat before any
water had been played on the fire.
The firemen succeeded in prevent
ing the spread of the fire TO the ad-
joining two-story residence, the roof
of which was at first threatened by
lle ledPlHS ndluSSs Inc OuLolQS VI
this house at 2S3 Mcclellan street,
which is owned by Robert Fullerton,
was damaged to the extent of about
5000.
Chief Campbell estimated the
damage to the stock in the lighting
store at $4,000 and $1,000 insurance
is carried. Damage to the building
was placed at $4,000, and it is said
the owner carries insurance. c.
Peterson, an agent for the Vreko
Walden cleaner, had space in the
lighting company window, and as no
insurance was carried on the S1,500
stock on display, he was forced to
save as best possible the remains.
Nearly all of his property was dam
aged.
Sergeant Kasprzak wa sin charge
at the scene, and with officers n.
Burke, +. Burke, Chhistopherson,
Grega, Koyen and Kilmurray assist
ed the firemen. Homes adjoining the
burning structure were visited by
the police to see that everyone had
been warned of the fire. Officer
Kilmurrav made the report on the
blaze.
The company deals in light fix
lures and specialties and does pol
ishing and plating work. Louis
Schoenwetter is president and treas
urer of the company.

German Conditions

BERLIN, Aug. IA (By The Asso-
ciated Press) DIR. Gustav Strese-
mann, the new German chancellor,
outlined in a statement today the
conditions under which Germany is
ready to abandon passive resistance
in the Ruhr.
The conditions are the complete
restoration to Germany of her right
of control over the Ruhr, re-estab-
lishment of the conditions in the
Rhineland vouchsafed her under the
Versailles treaty, and the liberation
of every German citizen who has
been outraged. evicted or imprison-
ed.
The statement was made in the
course of his inaugural speech to the
Reichstag this afternoon. DIR. Strese-
mann made no mention of evacua-
ton of the occupied areas, merely
stressing the conditions under which
Germany is prepared to enter upon
negotiations for the complete restor-
alton of her jurisdiction and the
freedom of her citizens there.
The new chancellor was cordially
greeted by the majority of the
House, the only jarring note in his
reception being in the form of bois-
ferrous heclling by the communists.

Answers German Attack

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Aug IA:
No good is done by Germany in
sisting that the French are mere i'm
perialists. Canon Ernest Dimnet of
Paris said in a lecture this morning
at the Institute of Politics at Will
liams College. Canon Dimnet replied
to an attack on the French policy
made by Count Harry Kessler of
Germany in an institute lecture last
night. Declaring that France was
on the brink of an agreement with
Germany, the lecturer said:
ANY Frenchman, one of whom I
am, detests the idea of an inch of
German ground being added to
French territory. The Ruhr occu-
patton was the result of two increas-
ing visions in the French mind-se-
curity and justice. All French
people, but especially Shose living in
northern France, live in dread of a
German revival made more danger
Gus by the Treaty of Rapallo, and
openly avowed by Nitti. The idea of
justice is certainly endangered by
the gradual evaporation of German
responsibilities and by the accom-
panying evaporation of German in
debtedness. The realization of this
brought the French to
count only upon themselves. Hence
the occupation of the Ruhr."
