COAL HEADS WANT
MINES KEPT OPEN
Operators Appoint Body to
Confer With Workers to
Renew Contract.
By the Associated Press.

Dy tne AsSOtldleQ HFe6s.
ATLANTIC CITY. y. J.. July q
The anthracite operators conference
last night appointed a subcommittee
of six to negotiate renewal of the CON
tract with the miners expiring Au-
gust 81.
w. W. Inglis, president of Glen AL
den Coal Co, of Scranton. was elected
chairman on nomination by Frank II.
Hemelright, chairman of the confer
ence labor committee. Mr.. Hemel-
right himself declined to serve despite
pleas of his associates
The other members of the scale sub
mittee are: Andrew NJ. Fine. vice
president Hudson Coal Co: Thomas
Thomas, Lehigh Valley Coal Co;
Jesse B. Warriner, general manager
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co: E. D.
Suender. general superintendent Ma
deira Hill Co. and George Hardesty.
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Co.
Want Mines Kept Working.
The hard coal operators in replying
TO the demands of the miners at the
joint conference today will propose a
mutual pledge TO keep the mines
working after August 81, whether a
contract has been agreed upon or not,
according to reliable authority. They
admit irritation over miners charges
that they favor a suspension as a
means Of getting higher prices for an
alleged surplus OF coal They say
such pledge would convince the pub
lie of the good faith of both sides.
Mr.. Hemelright's refusal to head
the scale subcommittee came as a dis
appointment to the operators as a
whole. He is chairman of the confer
ence labor committee. and the confer
ence had apparently been banking
upon his leadership in the scale dis
cussions. For the past two days, It
was learned. his associates have en-
deavored to get him to change his de-
cision, without avail. Mr.. Hemelright
was said to have regarded the task as
too arduous.

Preparation Made For New
Arms ParIey: LEAGUE To Act

Paris-The French foreign Office,
unofficially expects an invitation to
disarmament conference to originate
with the League of Nations rather than
in Washington.
The league is understood to have
everything in readiness to distribute
its invitations the minute Germany be-
comes member.
A disarmament conference Of all ma
lions logically follows the signing OF
the Locarno security pact, Austen
Chamberlain, British foreign secretary,
said as he passed through Paris on his
way home. He said he expected the
League of Nations to take the initia-
tive, but that all nations would be in
cluded in the invitations.
The French press takes the attitude
that France would prefer to accept a
League invitation, rather than one
from President Coolidge, because the
armed backing of the League is held
more substantial than the moral sup
port of the United States.

Garner Seeks S5O0,000.000
Income Tax Reduction

Washington-A tax revision plan
under which 100000 persons would
be relieved of all federal income
taxes was discussed informally with
Secretary Mellon by Representatives
Garner of Texas, the ranking Demo
crat on the public committee which
drafts tax legislation. After the con-
ference Representative Garner said
the secretary's plan provided only for
the reduction of surtaxes and inheri-
lance taxes. He made no statement
as to his counter proposal which was
received at the treasury. The Garner
plan contemplates a tax reduction of
from S45O,000,000 to $500,000,000, or
approximately twice the total which
the treasury is expected to recon-.
mend.
