new PLAN is PROPOSED FOR
OPERATING MERCHANT FLEET

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-Another
proposed plan for operation of the
governments merchant fleet, submit
ted by the managing operators, was
before the shipping board today in
considering the disposal of the fleet.
The operators plan proposes priv
ate control of government fleet
routes under which the operators
would share with the government
losses and profits in the same pro-
portion. The steamship owners, pro-
posed on their plan which was re-
jected to impound net profits for the
ultimate purchase of ships, contend
ing the government should assume
all losses.
Chairman Farley outlined the al
tentative plan which the shipping
board proposes to put into effect if
no acceptable private ownership
plan is developed. This plan con-
templates operation of the feet
through subsidiary corporations,
owned by the board and operating
under it's direct control.

P|NCHOT BUSY
ON NEW PLAN
Mine Operators and Union Of
ficialS Await His PROPOSE
ton for Settlement
SECRET IS GUARDED
Agreement Under Way for
Keeping Pumps Going
Should Strike be Called
SECRET IS GUARDED

HARRISBURG, Aug. 20 (By The
Associated Press)-Governor Pin
chot will bring his intervention in
the anthracite situation to a climax
tonight. He called on representa-
tives of the mine operators and Of
ticials of the miners union today
to meet him at o'clock tonight,
Jointly, to hear and answer a COM
promise proposal, which he has pre-
pared in the endeavor to avert the
suspension of operations September
L.
Meantime, the operators and min
ers themselves had direct negotia-
tions in progress to fix the condit-
ions under which some union mem
bers may remain at work in the
fields September l to keep pumps
working and entry ways from cav
ing in when the mass of the miners
walk out. Union proposals to fur
nish such maintenance men were
tied up with a requirement that all
of them be awarded the eight hour
day during the time of the suspen-
, sion. Operators were holding out
for an agreement that would give
them conditions identical with those
they have row, but promise OF
pay adjustment retroactive to Sep
tember 1, should any better con-
ditions be won at the end of a sus-
pension. Except for-the mainten-
ance matter, there is little open ex-
change Of views on the anthracite
crisis. The governor maintained
secrecy as to terms Of his proposal
and indicated that 1t might not be
ready until night. Such advance re-
port as leaked out concerning his
plan left many details in doubt.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers arrived here
today to lead the miners union
group. Detained by illness from
the preliminary meetings, he was
expected to give the unions final
word on the settlement proposals
which the governor will have ready
tonight.
Terms of settlement which some
OF the governors advisers said
he had in mind included four
main points, the first of which
would be an agreement by each side
to a ttirty-day truce and a calling
off of the suspension order. The
operators would be asked, in this
version of the matter, to abolish
all but eight hour day employment,
and to consent to the :nstalati III
by the union or ltS own aSenlS IN
the COMPANY Offices on payday for
the collec;icn % union dues.
Both sides woulc he asked to con-
tinue negotiations over the wage
scale, on the understanding that any
increases granted would be retro
active to September 1.
The miners contingent had in
mind the idea that the governor
would try to force the operators to
grant some sort of a wage increase.
Perhaps as much as ten per cent
hut were nevertheless inclined to re-
gard the suggestions as inadequate
to meet demands.

Renort ON Coal Substitutes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29:-The
Bureau of Mines made public today
two reports by its experts on the
qualities of hituminous coal, coke,
briquets and othbr substitute fuels,
One submitted by o. P. Hood,
chief mechanical engineer of the bu-
reau, declares that while anthracite
is probably the most desirable Solo
fuel for the heating of residences,
"it is by no means a necessity and
an intelligent person can face the
use of some less desirable form of
fuel with equanimity."
The other was drawn up by Ru-
dolf Kudlich, assistant chief me-
chanical engineer, who concluded
that the country must look mainly
to bituminous coal of various grades,
or to coke as real substitutes for
anthracite.

long dead priests or kings, queens
or courtesans, great soldiers or
slaves as though these had died
only yesterday and their acts and
aims were still vivid in ones mind,
even though Marchurst guessed
that she was inyenting almost all
she said as she was speaking.
They, too, had their jaunts
about the borders of the desert,
and many idle days and little
Journeys on the Nile.
Hoodless came occasionally to
see them, to stay for day or SO,
gossiping, protesting great envy
for Dick, disappearing again to
press on with the vague business
with which he was concerned at
Cairo.
"Well, you haven't regretted
taking the - the well, broad
minded way out, Ell, Dick?" he
would say.

She was so wonderful that, save
for those occasional hours of re-

beginning of the hot weather with

thought of the future.
Then suddenly the secret flame
of passion which had lighted and
vitalized the dreamy days, seemed
to waver, pause and dwindle.
Long after, Marchurst, looking
back at this period with seeing
eyes and an honest mind, knew
that this beginning of the end of
the "halcyon days had its source
in mutual Wearying of each other

the fact that intimacy had never.

But they were spared the pain

it was at precisely this stage of

his return.

From somewhere within the
house floated the sound Of q low
laugh. The Abyssinian looked UP,
listening.
His thick, puffy lips widened in
a smile. Then he yawnea enor-
mously, chuckled in his throat, and
patiently continued to polish his

One might say that the presence
of this black, predacious wanderer
hating thus with his air of home
coming and performance, came as
the last token that it was indeed
Holiday Eve at the Villa Blanche.
CHAPTER XXI.
THE "halcyon days" extended
into weeks and the weeks
slipped into months. There
were times when it seemed to Dick
Marchurst that he had never lived
any other life but this strange,
Sdream-like, floating existence, that
there had never been any other
place than the edge of the desert
and the river, any other woman in
the world than Sais, any other
servants than Bina, Olympic or the
great negro, Ell Addar.
They were so skilful, sails and
her retinue, that it seemed they
could manipulate even Time itself,
so that it ceased to exist for
Marchurst - almost. But never
quite, for there were hours when
sudden revulsions would prey upon
his spirit and he would wander out,
alone, or lie wide-eyed awake, in
the night and wonder whether the
life of the lotus-eater was worth
while, and knew that it was not.
At first these hours were rare,
but they came with increasing
frequency. The first had come
with the promised letter from
Louise Lammarsh. This, too, was
brief, but promised a longer letter.
The body Of the man from the
sea at Nice had not been Charles
Lammarsh. But business and legal
complication had arisen which
made it necessary for Louise to go
to America and she had sailed.
She spoke Of returning some day
to England.
That had set up for little a
nostalgia, sudden sick hunger for
home in Dick Marchurst's heart.
But Sais had OWNED his unease
and had charmed it away.
She was extraordinarily clever
and versatile, and could enchant
him with many lures. She had
gift for story telling, and a stock
of stories from real life-her own
amazing life-upon which to draw.
She was imaginative, too, and
familiar with secret things of
Egyptian life of which the visitor
has little opportunity to learn.
With Sais, also, Marchurst re-
visited parts of the ruins, and
listened to her theories and fancies
concerning past ages.
Her tone in these matters was
very different from that of Louise.
There was an odd, human effect of
familiarity, of camaraderie, even
of intimacy in her attitude
towards the vanished legions which
had lived, loved, labored, lusted
and died centuries before, at these

sleep into which she had sunk after
the first uneasy and troubled hour
on the borderland Marchurst left
her side, and was out, walking
quickly in the dawn.
Careless, reluctant to think
deeply, as a weak man almost
always is fated to be, nevertheless
he was aware that he was face to
face with the need Of q decision, a
choice.
He must choose between the
woman who had saved once his
life and once his liberty-Sais, the
dancer-an Eastern dancer and
all else which that implies, the
woman Of his senses, the high
priestess of his passions-and
Louise Lammarsh, the woman Of
his soul, even the ideal of his spirit.

Louise instead of Sais," he NUT
tered staring blankly before him.
DOR if only Sais were tired of me,
could leave her with light

her this-this holiday-here-and
she has earned it, God knows.

would say it-and being what

"a priest would say of Sais,

that might be true-Sais has q

say-'Be strategic-carry on but

He dropped his half-smoked
cigarette with a little gesture of
bewilderment and indecision. 1t
seemed to him that he could only
think clumsily-disconnectedly-
futilely.
