Dear Mr.. Reed:
Anent your querry as to is is,
or is is are. l would say the whole
argument rests on the fact, of
whether the word coats" is in the
singular or the plural and the w.
K. Webster says it is the plural
of the word oat Of it is not the
plural what is?) That seems to
me to settle all argument. 1t is
very true, you can say, kernel
of oats. the same as you say a
kernel of wheat. corn, or barley.
But that is so because as Mr..
Webster explains, it is commonly
used in the plural as oats, so the
correct word to use is are.
Sincerely yours,
GEO. A. PETER.

LYNETT PLAN REJECTED.
Conference May Reopen Question.
However, at Session Today.

PHILADELPHIA, January - P.-
The joint conference of miners and
operators. called into session again
after breaking up in New York two
weeks ago. yesterday rejected the
Lynett plan for settling the anthracite
strike. Another session may be held
today.
The conference was called at the re-
quest of John l.. Lewis. president of
the United Mine Workers. to consider
the proposal offered by r.. j. Lynett.
puhlisher of the Scranton Times. The
offer was accepted in principle by the
miners and rejected by the operators
before Yesterdays conference met. but
Lewis insisted that the conference be
reconvened for its formal conSidera-
ton.
When the conference adjourned last
night it was learned that there was
no program for consideration today
unless either side should decide to
bring up another proposition or Il
modification of some plan already
thrown into the discard.
With Alvan Markle. Hazleton. pre-
siding. the Lynett plan was discussed
animatedly. but all that was given
out officially was:
Upon motion TO adopt the Lynett
plan as basis for negotiation, the
ators voted Nay
The Lynett plan provided for the
immediate resumption of work at the
old scale of wages for Il term of i've
years. 1t also provided that each
side would have the right to ask for
a conference before two years Of the
contract had elapsed in order 10 re-
adjust wages. If no agreement could
be reached on a reimbursement of
: L a
continue in force. The plan made no
reference To arbitration. on which The
operators insist. if no agreement on
any proposition can be reached.
The conference. before taking APP
the Lynett plan, voted against open
sessions. The miners wanted the
session thrown open to newspaper
men, SO there would be no miscon-
ception by the public as 10 what oc-
CURED. When a formal motion to
this effect was made. the operators
offered an amendment that a COM
plete stcnographic copy be made of
the proceedings, turned over to our
respective publicity men, with in
StructlonS to prepare summary for
submission TO the press. with the
understanding that no business OF
Importance transacted in this con-
ference shall be withheld from the
public.
How much discussion there was
on this amendment, the official state
ment did not say. 1t simply said the
operators voted aye" and the miners
nay" and that on the original mo-
ton to open the meeting to the
press the miners voted AYE" and
the operators may" II takes Il
unanimous vote to carry any propo-
sition through the conference.
The conference agreed to hold

Varn's declaration that dealers in
Massachusetts are selling the coal
Washington dealers charge s14 ton
for at the same price, although they
have a much heavier freight rate.
Mr.. Suter said he had called the New
England Coal Merchants Association
by telephone and had learned that
the average price in Boston was
around $16 a short ton. or S17.92 for
the same size ton that is sold here.
Cheaper Than i'm Boston.
This same coal, Mr.. Suter declared.
sells for S14 here and the difference
in freight rates between Washington
and Boston is S2.5S a ton. This would
show that low volatile coal in Wash
ington is really S1.34 a. ton cheaper
than in Boston: Senator Nicely, who
was prompted throughout the hear
ing by Mr. McNann, submitted a
number of newspaper advertisements
handed him by Mr.. McVann. show
ing that one company advertised it's
coal for Sl4 a ton. The price. of
course. was for the short ton.
Representative Treadway of Massa-
chusetts urged the committee to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of licensing coal
dealers The Massachusetts member
said there was d demand Tor leglSla-
ton on fuel. but that the possibility
of enacting general legislation on the
subject is somewhat limited by the
Constitution,
But there can be no question" he
went on, ''of the right of Congress to
legfslate for the District of Columbia,
and feel this committee has a chance
to set an example in this matter. 1
submit for your consideration the de-
STABILITY of establishing a license bu-
reau, which would have a bearing on
every one selling coal. 1t may be said.
Why make public the affairs of coal
dealers and not others?' The answer
to that is obvious. There is in fuel a
public interest beyond that of private
ownership. Nature provided the sup
ply of fuel
Senator Glass asked Mr.. Treadway
if he would include lumber in his
argument.
Mr.. Treadway replied that he would
apply it wherever a monopolzed pub
lie necessity is found" He added he
did not believe there was the same
| necessity for such action on lumber
