GENEVA, Sept. 4.-(By Associated Press.)-A high political drama was played at Geneva today when Greece appeared before a hurriedly convoked public session of the coun- cil of the League and announced new terms for & settlement with Italy. The Greek proposals were as fol- lows:
 The Greek government suggests, firstly, that the council should ap- point one or more neutral represen- tatives (a) to superintend in Greece the judicial inquiry which the Greek authorities have already begun and also the trial of those responsible for the Janina murders; (b) assist in Greece has proposed through the council of ambassadors for investi- gating in Albania and Greece the circumstances which preceded and accompanied the crime.
 Secondly, that the council should instruct commission composed of three high judicial authorities, Greek.

MINE AT ALDR|CH STOPS OPERAT| |NC; ORDERED bYDRYER ER
Referee Asks State To Re- move Leased Convicts From
 MontevaIIo Workings

Operators of the Aldrick mine of the Montevallo Coal company will be discontinued indefinitely, and all of the convicts leased to the company by the state will be removed at once, according to Judge k. H. Dryer, referee in bankruptcy, who heard a detailed report of the trustee at the federal building Tuesday morning.
 committee composed of Oscar Wells, president of the First National bank, chairman, T. NJ. Nesbitt, of Moore Handley Hardware company, J. A. Vann of the Young and Yam Hardware company and Henry l.. Bad ham and P. B. Thomas, mining ex- perts, was appointed by Judge Dryer as creditors committee to investi gate the assets and affairs of the company, with a final view of sell ing the holdings to the best advan- tage of liquidating the affairs.
 One of the facts attributed to the closing of the mine by the trustee was the shortage of skilled labor He stated that owing to the inferior type of convict supplied by the state they were unable to operate and maintain the modern machinery be- Ing used by Montevallo Coal com pany.
 The trustee also stated that he did not feel justified in continuing the orer ations at the mine for a longer perlod at the expense sustained by the bondholders and other creditors. Lack of skilled labor necessary for the successful operation of the mine and the lack of sufficient capital were given as reasons for the mine cea sing operation by the trustee.
 The Montevallo Mining company went into bankruptcy several months ago, and the state was asked to re- lieve the company of it's. convict con tract. At that time a few of the convits were removed, and when the company stated the mine would be closed down lacking necessary re- sources, an investigation was recom- mended by the convict board. Until the hearing Tuesday morning there were 1S0 convicts idle at the mine, 1t was stated.
 Estimates of the value of the Mon tevallo Mining were set at s2,000,000 in former reports rendered by min ing engineers. Indebtedness secured and unsecured was reported to be approximatly s550,oo0. No definite date was set by Judge Dryer for report of the creditors committee.

COOLIDGE INTENDS.
 TO LAUNCH DRIVE AGAINST LIQUOR
Haynes Outlines Program In Conference With New
 President
By THOMAS l.. STOKES By Leased Wire to The Age-Herald)

WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-"Prohibi- ton through cooperation" is the aim of President Coolidge. He is expected to inaugurate soon an intensive cam paign for combined action by federal, state and local officials in enforcing the dry law.
 The general lines of the campaign were fixed at a two-hour conference Tuesday afternoon at the White House between the President and Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. who has just returned here from his home in Hillsboro, O., where he was i'll for several weeks.
 Practical measures for securing CO., operation will be worked out as fol- lows:
 l. Either by a literal "convention"- as Haynes dubs it--of state governors here in the very near future, or
 2 By general appeal to state and local authorities for cooperation with federal agents.
 It is very likely that the convention of governors will be called, in ac cordance with the announced inten ton of the late President. No date has been fixed, Haynes said, except that the conference would be held as soon as possible when it Is finally decided what is the best plan for tackling the enforcement problem.
 Haynes is now formulating the agenda of the conference, which he said would probably last two or three days and would go into all phases of enforcement in the various states. Won't Reveal Proposals.
 He declined to reveal the specific proposals that would be presented at the conference, but outlined the gen eral nature of the governments, pro- gram
 "The proposals" he said, include the question of how best the state officials can cooperate with federal officials through the various local agencies. There may be meetings of the judiciary called in the state to study their local problems. There will probably be special appeals to the churches to set aside a day to discussing the problem, and to the press to publish editorials at stated time urging cooperation.
 Withholding of final decision as to an actual conference of governors here is understood to be due to President Coolidge's caution in talk ing any steps that would create any dissensicn. Though there were only 16 governors at President Harding's conference last year. the meeting was not entirely without discord. Governor Hitchie of Maryland stood up boldly and announced that in his opinion the problem of enforcing the prohibition law was wholly up to the state. Since that time there has been the repeal of the state enforce ment act in New York, another dis turbing factor.
 Haynes conference with the Pres ident was his first opportunity to dis cuss at length the prohibition ques- tion. He stated that it was most satisfactory" It Is understood that the prohibition commissioner pointed out to Coolidge the difficult situa- tion which has arisen in some states because Of the appointment at the advice of wet" senators of pro- hibition agents now in sympathy with the dry law.

P P|NCHOT TO RENE W
 PEACE EFFORTS IN COAL CONT TROvERSY
Miners And Operators Ready To Return To Conference
 With Governor

HARRISBURG. Pa. Sept. 4.-Gov-' ernor Pinchot will renew tomorrow his effort to compromise the labor controversy in the anthracite region and get miners who suspended work septersser 1. nasis at their tasks.
 Representatives of employerss and officials of the miners union will meet with him al 2 p. m. to go over again the four points of a peace pro- posal on which they failed to get to- gether last week.
 The governor has continued his study of the situation since the nego- tiations adjourned, but has not indi- cated publicly any change of plans. His previous suggestion was that the workers be given a 10 per cent in- crease in present rates: that the union be allowed to install an agent In mining company pay offices to. collect dues; that eight-hour day em-' ployment be made fully effective, and that the union be recognized and the principles of collective bargaining be maintained. Mine operators have ac- cepted the proposals with some quail lfications. provided that the new con tract run for a number of years with annual revision of the wage scales to be brought about by arbitration.
 The unions response. opposing all forms of arbitration, asked that the workers paid by the day be given a greater percentage of increase and that the check off" system of union dues collection, by which the employ CTS hold the amount involved from each miners pay check and turn 1t over to the union, be considered.
 READY TO RESUME CONFERENCE
 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Miners and operators charged with working out new wage contract between the workers and mine owners tonight were preparing to resume their con ferences tomorrow at Harrisburg. where they were temporarily sus- pended last Saturday. The best in- formation obtainable here was that neither side has changed it's posi- ton. and, unless Governor Pinchot has some new idea to present to bring about settlement and end the Suspension of mining. the negotia- tions may last longer than generally was expected.
 The wage question Is the big issue. With this out of the way. 1t was be- lieved rapid progress could be made on the other demands of the miners
 Reports from the coal fields today where the suspension started last Friday night with the contract signed in September. 1922, 1t ap- peared that no coal Is being mined. Reports from the fields also tell of the laying off of hundreds of rail- road men who handle coal trains.
