CITIES COOPERATE
WITH COMMISSION
IN PHONE BATTLE
Conference to Plan New
Moves Set for Monday
at StatehouSe.

New moves of Indiana cities
affected by increased phone rates
ordered by a temporary restraining
order in Federal Court are to be made
at a conference between a mayors
committee and the public service com
mission at the Statehouse at 8 a. m.
Monday.
Ten cities perfected an organization
to carry on the rate war, at a meet
ing of city officials in the SEVERN
Thursday afternoon. Mayor Eli
Seebirt, president of the Indiana
Municipal League. named Mayor
Blanchard Horne of Anderson, Mayor
John Quick of Muncie, and Taylor
Groninger, corporation counsel of In
dianapolis, as an executive committee
to direct the fight.
Groninger said today the committee
would take immediate steps with the
public service commission toward en-
ployment of expert engineers, legal
counsel, and accountants to present
evidence when the permanent in
junction hearing is held in Federal
Court.
indianapolis has appropriated
81 900 for the fight; Frankfort, $500.
and the Bluffton Chamber Of Com
emerc, $500.
Mayors or city attorneys of ten
cities, including South Bend, Misha.

derson, Noblesville, Shelbyville, Bluff
ton and Indianapolis, were present
Hartford City and Jacksonville were
not represented.
This is not a question Of dollars
and centes,' Mayor Seebirt said. 1T
is a question of whether a Federal
Court or our own public service com
mission will make the telephone rates.
1t is a question of whether our pres
ent utility law will stand, or whether
we should revert to the competitive
system"
Groninger called attention to the
real fight, against the A. T. & T..
Which he said was so powerful that
the Federal Government should take a
hand.
A suggestion of Mayor John Gray
son Of Vincennes that every city in the
State aid in the fight was considered
Seebirt promised he would get in
touch with other cities.
when $500 900 is added to telephone
rates in addition to the $1.000,000 al

sion, the people have a right to de
determine whether It is called for,

SUCCESS Of PLAN

Commission Head Outlines
Governments Policy in
Coal WaIkout.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
Hays Hammond, chairman OF the
United States Coal Commission. today
expressed the opinion that the Gov
ernment's plan to supply the country
with sufficient bituminous coal will
prevent or break strike in the an
thracite industry.
Hammond, in a press conference to-
cay, made a comprehensive statement
Of the Governments policy and the
plan depended upon by President
Coolidge to bring about an eventual
agreement between the operators and
miners.
The miners apparently intend to
stick to their demands.
In the event of q strike resulting
in the Government flooding New Eng
land and the north Atlantic seaboard
with soft coal 1t was pointed out that
the operators would be the chief suf-
ferers. Once the hard coal market
had been lost to substitute fuels, Of
ftcials said it might be hard to regain
and a heavy financial loss to the
operators would result.
The miners, on the other hand, are
not bound to the hard coal fields by
any invested capital With labor
shortage as an aid, union officials said
they entertained little difficulty plac'
ing miners who wished to get into
other lines of trade.
Union officials denied emphatically
today that the union bituminous Goa
miners would join the anthracite
workers in a sympathetic strike. They
declared the soft coal contract which
runs until April viii be carried out
to the letter.
Following the announcement OF
Chairman Hammond that no attempt
would be made by the coal commission
to fix the blame for a strike, II one
comes, until Aug. 81, when the hard
coal contract expires and the re
newed hope of averting a strike al
together, there were increasing ind
cations that the report may never be
issued.
Even in the event of a strike severa
high Government officials expressed
doubt regarding the pinning OF re
sponsibility on either side to the Goa
controversy.
II matters come to a showdown
they believe the commission Is most
likely to set forth the facts, severely
criticised both sides and assure the
public that it need not fear for a fuel
supply.

heart to see the FORCES. and mines Of
the Ruhr and the Rhineland in full
bloom
But work and freedom IN this con-
nection are inseparable terms.
IF we again have disposal over
the Ruhr in administration, traffic
and the normal features Of economic
life and return to legal conditions in
the Rhineland. then we can work and
pay.
I'VE stipuiate. further. however.
that the families driven into exile
and the inhabitants Of the Ruhr con-
demned by military courts, shall be
restored to their homes and full
freedom and that Germany shall be
given a breathing spell
''Great Britain has already passed
judgment on the legality Of the Ruhr
occupation. We now are ready to
have judgment passed by an interna-
uonal court, for we feel such court
can only say we have done what IS
for our good, right and duty.
AT this point 1 would like to make
clear that any settlement which aims
at tearing the Rhineland from the
Reich Will be rejected by Germany as
by one man.
THE Rhineland represents Ger
many's soul; to tear it away from US
would be to Germany what a foreign

States or Virginia or New York, hal
lowed by the footsteps Of American
pioneers, would mean to America.

',One hears abroad that Germany
wants to dodge her obligations. That
is a lie. We not only have offered
until it hurts, but have agreed to let
an international commission deter
mine whether our judgment in this
respect is correct.
Il ask you, as a representative Of
a nation which boasts fair play is
this not a sporting proposition?
Have we not gone the limit to
satisfy our creditors?
I'VE are still ready, however, TO let
an international commission based on
the principles by Mr.. Hughes set the
limits of our paying capacity
And I desire to answer the story
that Germany purposely depressed her
currency.
The answer is: Could any nation
be so foolish as to gamble with in
aation knowing the inevitable end
Of this is disruption?}
Right now we are striving our
utmost to correct at this late date
some of the evils of inflated currency.
This imitation is due to normal
causes, not TO bad will. We intend to
raise fund of foreign currencies and
gold values here in the hope of still

Further, we must devote fund

people to deeds of desperation.
''One cannot view the forthcoming
winter WITHOUT feeling Of horror at
best, for coal is very scarce and the
food situation, even with a good har-
vest, gives cause for anxiety.
