BERLIN, Jan, 13.--President
TIindenbury today invited ex-Chan-

of forming cabinet.
DIR. Luther accepted the charge.
1t is understood that DIR, Luther
has already made overtures to
leaders of the German Peoples

these parties.
Should these parties fail to rally

expected that he will then seek
the creation OF non-party cabi-
net, formed of persons of import
who are not pledged to party at

The Nationalist and other op-

HARRISBURG, Jan. b.
Breaking his silence of weeks on
I. the anthracite coal strike, Governor
Clifford Pinchot, in an interview
today declared for legislative
'saction" to end this strike and
prevent future Iock-outs.
81 shall do my best to press a
bill which recognizes anthracite as
a public utility" Governor Pinchot
said. "That is the next step.
PinchOt to Present Case
The governor was to appear be-
fore the legislature in special ses-
sion this afternoon to take up,
among other things, the coal situa-
tion
Governor Pinchot was obviously
concerned over the breakdown OF
the Joint conference of miners and
GENERATORS in New York city yeSter-.
day. He regards the situation that
exists today as a matter of the
most pressing Importance not only
to Pennsylvania but to all of the
10000, 900 anthracite users of
America.
For. many weeks the governor
said, I'VE have read in the news
papers the daily story OF the,
anthracite operators against the
public.
- yesterday came the breakdown
OF the negotiations because the
operators refused to do as the
miners had already done-make
real concessions from their original
position in the interest OF reaching
a settlement
the legislature of Pennsylvania for
its action"
As Governor Pinchot was prepar-
ing to go before the legislature two
important bills on the anthracite in
dustry were prepared by Attorney
General Woodruff and will be SUBJ
mitted in due course during the ses7
sion.
The first bali. an amendment to
the public service commission law,
cIassifies anthracite production as
a public service function and con-
sequently renders the operators
amenable to the same regulations
that now applies to street railways
telephone companies and other pub
lie, service corporations
Regulate Retail End
The second bin is aimed pri-.
marily at the retail end of the
anthracite trade, which is unaf-
fected by the first bill. It au-
thorizes the Governor to enter into
compacts with the anthracite con-
Stunning States, providing for the
producing. preparing, transporting,
selling and distributing anthracite.
