FEDERAL COAL
MOVE STARTS
Governor Pinchot Trying to
Effect Compromise to Avert
Coal Mine Strike

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-With
machinery for the emergency dis
tribution of fuel in final shape, the
governor today awaited the outcome
of efforts by Governor Pinchot of
Pennsylvania to find a compromise
which would lead to a settlement OF
the anthracite crisis. The designa-
ton of Mr.. Pinchot as a mediator,
which followed his conference here
yesterday with President Coolidge
and Chairman Hammond of the coal
commission has perceptibly strength
ened the feeling OF optimism which
has marked official opinion since
the situation became acute.
The status of Mr.. Pinchot in the
general plan was described at the

thority in his endeavor to bring the
miner and operator groups once
more to the conference table. 1t
was emphasized, however, that the
administration itself intended TO
adhere to it's policy of not inter-
vening further.
Final reports were said to con-
firm the prediction of the coal com
mission that anthracite substitutes
adequate for every normal require
ment would be available.
The bulk of the emergency supply
would be drawn from the West Vir-
ginia ''smokeless'' veins, supplement
ed by coke and fuel oil.

NEW ORLEANS, June 19.-Federal
prohibition enforcement officers who
destroyed imported or bottled in
bond liquors in raids face prosecu-

fine wines and liquors in a raid by

Montgomery Ala June 10

A majority of the dairymen who
supply milk to Montgomery today
protested to the city commission
against the adoption of the dairy or
dinance which was prepared by the
state board of health. After hearing
the protest the commission took the
matter under advisement.
The dairymen contended that many
would be forced out of business; that
the ordinance would require a heavy
expenditure before the provisions
could be met. and that the cost of pro-
duction of milk would be increased 20
such an extent the consumers would
be forced to pay higher prices. One
of the arguments was that the dairy
men would be required to use ice at
all times in order to reduce the heat
to the limits provided by the ordi-
nance.
Representatives of the board of
health and civic organizations urged
the commission to adopt the Ordi-
nance, contending that it would as
sure the proper quality of milk
consumed in Montgomery Several
dairymen also supported the ordi-
nance and insisted that the cost would
not be materially greater, and that
the increase in consumption due to
the assurance of quality would COM
pensate for any additional invest
ment.
