EMPORIA, Kas., Aug. "a
Emporia is shocked to death!
Yesterday it was a quiet. little
conservative town. So very puri-
tanical in its ideas that a gum
chewing stenographer was looked
upon askance. To stay on the
streets after o'clock was to be
pointed out as one "who keeps
late hours"
The fiapper was not discussed
Emporia had no dappers. Even
the milkman respected the sleep
and dignity Of the folks and was
careful not to drop too many cans.
But today it stands in the lime
light Of the States searching eyes
as~being the town where Attorney
General Griffith will begin his
cleanup of the morals of college
students. Emporia has two col
leges.
Nothing ever happens here to
disturb peace Of mind of its in
dustrious gentry. And when = few

Emporia's righteous citizens are

Government officials virtually aban-
doned hope OF averting hard-coal
strike
Even members Of the United States
Coal Commission. who maintain it
would be suicidal for either side to
assume the blame for strike, are
gloomy over the prospects.
The first big step taken by Mr.. Coo
lldge in the execution of his plans
to supply the country with sufficient
supplies OF bituminous coal in event
OF strike was the calling of a con-
ference at New York City Aug. 2s of
State Governors, or their represent
atives. to discuss preparations for dis
tIibution of soft coai.

tor Wadleigh to the Governors OF the
eleven New England and middle At

States are Connecticut. Delaware,
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire. New Jersey, New York, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Maryland.
The report fixing the blame for
strike-the chief weapon now contem-
plated by the President to crystallize
public cpinion-will not be withheld
many hours If the deadlock between
operators and miners continues.
No Stuffed Club"
Despite the growing strike menace.
Government Intervention still is re-
mote. The President, his advisers say.
doesn't intend to brandish a stuffed
club" There Is little he can do be-
yond fixing the blame and mobilizing
public sentiment behind the use Of
hard coal substitutes.
But, it is pointed out, the President
has not yet directly entered the siua-
tion personally. He has left every
thing thus far to subordinates. Many
believe he is reserving a bold stroke
for the last. What that stroke will be
even Cabinet officers are guessing, for
the President calmly is keeping his
own counsel and giving orders.
To Use Substitutes
It was evident today that Mr.. Cool
idge still banks heavily on infiuenc-
ing operators and miners to keep
their mines running by threatening
the anthracite market with a flood OF
bituminous coal. coke, oil and other
substitutes.
Plans for distribution of these sub
stitutes were being rapidly worked out
today by Francis r. Wadleigh, Fed
eral fuel distributor, and Clyde B.
Aitchison.. member of the interstate
commerce commission, in charge of
car distribution depending the confer
ence of Governors at New York on
Tuesday.
The chief problems to be solved
involve the cramming Of coal trains
through the Jersey terminals and
across the Hudson River into New
England and the provision OF suffi-
Gent terminals for water shipments
from Chesapeake Bay.
Production Possible
The ability OF the bituminous mines
to produce the coal never has been
