STOCK PRICE RISES

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The rise
in stock values, which started about
week ago, continued unabated in
the short session on the Stock Elk

established all along the line, most
sections participating in the upward
movement. A significant feature
was the fact that the advance &C.

tiers that the market is in process of
discounting more favorable trade
conditions in the coming fall than
was generally expected. Increased
activity was reported by commission
houses. which indicated that short
covering alone was not the principal
Iorce behind the move. In fact, the
breadth OF the advance, which had
steadily spread over a wider area
since Its inception, suggested the re-
newal OF activity on the part of many
speculative cliQues, which have been
dormant since stocks started upon
their prolonged decline last March.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Activi-
ties in the anthracite coal con-
troversy shifted temporarily TO
Washington today, where the
United States Coal Commission
was to report to President Cool
idge on the conferences which be-
gan here Wednesday in an effort
to prevent a strike September /.
Meanwhile members Of the oper-
ators' and miners committees,
virtually forced by the commits
sion late yesterday to agree to re-
sumo negotiations, were marking
time until Monday morning, when
they will again go into joint ses-
sions at Atlantic City in q last
attempt to reach an agreement on
a new contract before the, present
contract expires August 81.
Reports Without Comment.
The coal commissions report to
the President today will be. with
out comment. or recommendation
consisting solely of the diverging
positions of the operators and min.
ers as expressed in their letters
and documents filed with the com
mission.
eff !. they are unable to reach
an agreement at Atlantic City and
another deadlock results, the com.
mission will then make its recon-
mendations," declared Chairman
John Hays Hammond. chairman
Of the commission.
In. the agreement to resume me-
gotiations at the point where they
were broken off July 81 in At.
lantic City by the miners demand
for the check-off and the operators
refusal to recognize it, there were
no indications that either side had
retreated from it's position on the
chief points of difference.

ers that any pressure had been
brought by either the commission
or President Coolidge, the break
ing up of the deadlock was at
tributed to the commissions
threat to issue a public statement.
on the matter.
Yield to Commission.
In view of this, neither side
could afford to turn down the com.
missions request to get together"
again. as the commission statement
undoubtedly would have contained
harsh references to the position of
both sides.
While no program has been an
nounced for the resumed negotia.
tions, it is understood that the
check-off and closed shop issues in
the list Of miners demands will be
passed over to the end OF the con-
ference-after an agreement has
been reached on other points.
The operators position, as out
lined by Samuel D. Warmer, Is
still one Of opposition to the check
off. They want an agreement to
suspension Of work if a new
contract Is not signed and arbitra-
ton on points which cannot be
agreed upon.
The miners however refused to I'm
dictate in advance what they will
do, but have declared they will not
arbitrate.

Living on the scene of the inces-
SAINT struggle between the miners
and the operators, and inhabiting
the city where the activities of the
whole anthracite region come to
their climax, the citizens here are
impressed by the belief that in the
division Of the proceeds of the an
thracite industry the miners are
getting what Is regarded as dimin-
ishing proportion while to the opera.
tors and to absentee coal land
owners an increasing proportion OF
profit Is annually allotted.
They see this development with
their own eyes, through comparing
the wages of the miners mere resi-.
dent with the prices of the coal
here dug and sold. The wages nave
advanced but the prices nave ao'
vanced much more.
Specifically this writer flnns on
inquiry from fully informed statlstl'
cal sources that while the wage rate
of contract miners in this region
has gone up some 76 per cent In
the last ten years, the margin or
profit for the great operating COM
panies has gone up 200 per cent.
A local general realization OF this
fact is responsible, in part, for the
further fact that in case OF a sus-
pension Of work by the miners
there will be no local public opinion
