CHICAGO, August 29.-During the
last coal year 100000 tons of BIZ
luminous coal and approximately L.
100000 tons of anthracite coal were
stored at Duluth. W. H. Hoyt Of that
city informed the committee on the
storage of coal Of the Federated
American Engineering Societies, meet

determine national program for
efficient coal storage.
From the principles used in the
Duluth plants, said to be the largest
and most efficient in the world, the
committee hopes to drRw lessons
that New England and other sections
might profitably employ.
Committee members declare that
municipal, state and federal insti-
tutions are the worst offenders
against the plan for the economical
use of storage, because they are
favored by priority orders when
necessity arises, and therefore sci.

HARRISBURG, Pa, August %
The outstanding feature of the anth-
racite strike negotiations here in
Harrisburg has been the implicit faith
that those about him have had in
Clifford Pinchot
&c. p never undertakes a thing
that he does not see through" they
say. and they refer to him affection
ately by his initials, just as they once
referred to "T. r." at whose shrine
the present governor of Pennsylvania
worshipped.
There have been no politicians here
to influence the governor one way or
the other There have been no CAPT
talistS here to attempt to exert any
sort of coertion. Gov. Pinchot has
been active in his own right and by
himself alone. He is willing to stand
or fall by the outcome of the nego-
tiationS he initiated.
Made No Promises.
In his preliminary negotiations with
miners and operators, Gov. Pinchot
made neither promises nor PROPOSE
tions. He devoted himself to an ef-
fort to find out just how far each
side was willing to grant concessions
so that he might formulate plan for
the arbitration of the points at issue
on basis that would be satisfactory
to both sides. Gov. Pinchot recog-
nized from the beginning that an
arbitration proposal conditioned on
the ideas of the past would not be
acceptable TO the miners.
At Atlantic City they rejected any
sort of arbitration. But 1t was
realized here today that If some en-
tirely new plan of arbitration could
be devised to gain the confidence or
the miners there might be way out
of the difficulty. inasmuch as the
operators already have committed
themselves to arbitration of all the
points at issue.
Limited arbitration, therefore. was
the sole hope open to Gov. Pinchot as
he battled with the problem prior to
his final conference with both miners
and operators.
The governors great asset as he
faced the final issue was the con-
ffdence he has inspired in both
miners and operators as a result of
his talks with them during the last
two days. The governor has listened
much and talked little but neverthe-
less he has left an impression.

GOVERNORS PLEDGE
AID IN COAL CRISIS
Promise Active Cooperation
With WadIeigh in
Event of Strike.
By the Associated Press.

BY the AssOciat ted Press.
NEW YORK. August 29.-Pledging
full cooperation to Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator Wadleigh in any emer-
gency plan to obtain for consumers
maximum fuel supply in event of a
protracted suspension of anthracite
mining after September l. representa-
tives of eleven Atlantic seaboard
states left New York last night to
await the outcome of Gov. Pinchot's
conference at Harrisburg with opera
tors and union leaders.
Representatives of the Interstate
Railway Association, the United
States bureau of mines and the
American Federation of Engineering
Societies also were parties to the
agreement.
If the need arises we will start
at once to put into operation our plan
for maintaining rapid distribution of
what anthracite is available and of
sufficient bituminous, oil and other
substitutes to keep people from suf-
fering," Mr.. Wadleigh said.
The plan provided establishment by
each state of an emergency fuel dis
tributing organization, and a similar
one by the federal government.
The federal body would work with
the states in distributing fuel, obtain
ing supplies from the fields and get
ting railroad cooperation for quick
transportation.
Mr.. Wadleigh said the American
Railway Association had promised TO
look after proper distribution, while
the bureau of mines would educate
! the public in the use of substitute
fuels.

EXPERTS EXPLAIN
FUEL SUBSTITUTES
Bureau of Mines Says Bitum-
inous, Coke and Oil Are
Best Available.

AS part of its campaign of educa-
tion in the use of anthracite substi-
tutes the bureau of mines made public
today two reports by it's experts on
the qualities of bituminous coal. coke.
briquets and other substitute fuels
One of the reports. submitted by O.
P. Hood, chief mechanical engineer
of the bureau. declares that while an
thracite is probably the most desira-
BILE solid fuel for heating residences,
lit is by no means a necessity, and
an Intelligent people can face the
use of some less desirable form of
fuel with equanimity."
The other was drawn up by Rudolf
kudlich, assistant chief mechanical
engineer, who. after. going into the
whole field Of substitutes in some de-
tail, concluded that the country must
look mainly to bituminous coal of
various grades. or to coke. which is
made from bituminouS coal, as our
real substitutes for anthracite"
Advice to Public.
In a statement summarizing the
two reports, the bureau gives the
public this advice:
Take 1t the season through from
10 to 20 per cent more bituminous
coal is likely to be needed than of
anthracite although with increased
skill and attention the proportion
might even be reversed.
There are other substitutes that
may be had locally. There is an in
creasing amount of good biquetted
fuel available. This is handled like
anthracite. requires little added at
tention and the satisfaction resulting
depends upon the quality.
Oil as Fuel.
There is an increasing use of oil
where available. This requires q
considerable installation cost and the
burning cost is usually greater, but
the character of service may be very
good. Heating by gas has all advan-
tges and few disadvantages except
cost. Neither of these fuels are in
any large sense available on short
notice as a substitute for anthracite.
I'm some places the small steam
sizes of anthracite can be obtained
Number one Buckwheat can be used
If sufficient draft can be supplied to
force air through the more compact
fuel bed.
Detailed information regarding
proper firing methods in the use OF
these various anthracite substitutes
| is given in Serial 2519, which may be
obtained from the bureau of mines.

of the incumbent, especially when the
latter hasn't been in the, White House
long enough to demonstrate whether
he is the best candidate the party can
offer. The coming session of Con-
gress will answer the whole business,

So-called radical wing of the repub-
liCan party. ~
WieIds No .Big Stick,
Mr.. Coolidge has taken occasion to
intimate what his policy toward Con-
gress will be- He will hesitate to ex-
press an opinion about a bill while 1T
is pending. He will not threaten a
veto or promise his approval to any
thing if he can help it, preferring to
let Congress act in its wisdom and
permit him to exercise his ConStitu-
tional prerogative of signing or Veto
ing at the proper time. This theory
of the executive precludeS welding

cising the moral suasion Of Wilson.
1t means a free hand to the EXccu-

While this method is unGuestiona bly,
the most desirable that could be fol-
lowed. it doesn't always work out
that an Executive can remain silent
in the face of inquiries from members
of Congress as to what his attitude
would be toward a bill if passed.
Many measures are sidetracked at
the slightest. gesture of Executive
disapproval and time is saved that
way.
In all probability the President
means to apply his policy to majer
questions such as for instance the
soldiers bonus. Mr.. Coolidge will not
follow the precedent of President
Harding who announced that he
would veto a bonus bill unless the
sales tax were enacted to finance il
Mr.. Coolidge will wait for Congress
TO pass the bill and If the means O,
financing the bonus have been devised
he will sign the measure. Advocates
of the bonus are sure the bill now
can be financed and they are hopeful
OF executive support when 1t is needed

'DESERTERS THRIVE

Live on Rewards Secured al

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 29.-Arrest of
two naval deserters who have made
their living recently by arresting fellow
deserters and delivering them up for
reward at the very post where prices
had been placed on their own capture
was announced today at Marine bar
racks, Brooklyn.
The pair. A. Gudel and r Ulitch,
firemen, third class, wore Naval uni
forms and Navy shore patrol arm
brassards when they were taken. They
deserted, according to Capt. Lewis F.
Fagan, several weeks ago, after they
had completed a term of Imprisonment
for a previous desertion.
Sauntering about New York with
their ms p" brassards and with hand
cuffs worn prominently on their belts
the pair had a fine time fraternizing
with policemen, riding free in the SUBJ
ways and on street cars and making
life miserable for most Of the sailors
they met.
Disaster came when they went once
too often to the Marine barracks with a
prisoner on whom they hoped to claim
a reward. Their ostentatiously worn
handouts excited suspicion of the
officer in charge. They are held on a
charge of desertion and also face
charges of impersonation and extortion

PincliOt Wins Faith of Miners, :,
And O,Uners IN Peace Efforts
All Convinced of Governors Fairness.
Regardless of Eventual Outcome
.. of Negotiations.

new blood in the conferences is greet
ed with avidity.
1t is ditulging no great secret to
say that both miners and operators
had expected "a summons to the White
House, but that they should have
been diverted to Harris sburg. has been
no great disappointment to them.
They have found Gov. Pinchot both
sympathetic and understanding. With
him they are amazed that Washing
ton should have passed up the oppor-
tunlty for the negotiations conducted
here, but inaSmuch as this conference
is expected definitely to array public
opinion on one side or the other, il
is difficult to see what more Wash
ington might have accomplished.
Took Hard Chance.
In base ball parlance Gov. Pinchot
undertook the play as a chance that
was rather hot to handle and has re-
allied from the first the opportunity
for error. He has believed however,
that out of the conflicting claims he
could formulate a proposal to miners
and operators alike which would have
the backing of the people at large
and fix responsibility of refusal
other than his own.
Gov. Pinchot likes a fight. He has
reveled in the going of the last few
days. He spent something like $780,
600 of his own money to become Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. and already he
feels he has been repaid for the in
veStment.
There is Il phase to the negotiations
here Of which the general public is
not aware. The state of Pennsyl-
vania puts a tax on every ton OF an
thracite taken from the mines. This
law was held up for time until the
courts could pass upon it, Recently
they declared it entirely legal. Then
a bill passed the House repeating the
tax. If this bill had passed the SEN
ate it is said Gov. Pinchot would have
vetoed 1t. He believes in the tax. II
yields the state approximately 80,
100000 a year. II this income should
be cut off through a prolonged strike
1t would prove very embarrassing To
Gov Pinchot He has cut the state
budget down to the bone, but he has
counted on the s6,000,000 a year from
the anthracite tax. If 1t shoula be
missing some new forms OF taxation
would have TO be devised. This the
governor hopes to avoid at any haZ-
ard
End Draws Near.
Meanwhile the hour for the sus-
pension OF work in the mines Is
drawing near. 1t Is set for midnight
Friday. The negotiations here are ex-
tending to the point where an issue
cannot be reached until sometime
Thursday. Orders for the strike have
been issued There is a question
whether they can be recalled In time
even If a settlement unexpectedly Is
reached.
The representatives of the miners
with orders for a strike outstanding
seem perfectly happy. The representa-
tives of the operators say they are
anxious to get back to work.
The most important persons at me
conference are the experts. Harris
