Boynton j. Moore, south side

at council meeting that the six
councilmen had no serious thought
of ousting the mayor when they dis
cussed Impeachment proceedings at
three-hour caucus last week.
Moore ''let the cat out of the bag"
when Councilman Edward Raub,
Democrat, assailed him for making
the statement that he had attended
the meeting.
How many council meetings were
held last week and where are the
minutes? I want to see if I was
there Raub asked.
Raub Apologies

interrupted.
Raub little later arose and said /:
II want to apologize to Mr.. Moore

Moore jumped up and lied a move

ut is high time some one was ex-
posing our newspapers for printing
untruth. If there is reporter here
who heard me say anything about
the council going to impeach the
Mayor, I want him to say So"
Moore exclaimed.
The reporters kept silent, because
after the secret Impeachment" ses-

though, other councilrnen were not
so close mouthed.

INDIANA COAL
RATES CHANGED
Adjustments Are Ordered by
Federal ProberS.
Bv United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-In a
broad decision, the Interstate Com
merce Commission today ordered
certain rate adjustments affecting
movements Of bituminous coal from
Illinois, Indiana and western Ken
lucky mines to the Chicago switch
ing district and to western and
northwestern States.
The commission found interstate
rates to the Chicago switching dis
trict from the Danville, Brazil-Clin-
ton, and Linton Sullivan groups I'M
reasonable, to the extent that they
exceed $1.35, $1.55 and $1.65 per net
ton, respectively, and ordered rea-
sonable rates fixed.
The commission declared rates
from mines in Illinois and Indiana
to points in Illinois, Indiana, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Nebraska and
Iowa are not unreasonable, but
that the relationships between rates
from Illinois and Indiana, on the
OH hand, and western Kentucky on
the other, result in undue preju-
dice to the Illinois and Indiana
mines and undue preference to west
ern Kentucky.
The commission said the coal in
dustry in Illinois and Indiana is ''in
serious condition"
MANY of the mines, perhaps
more than half Of them, are idle"
said the commission report. "a
number are in receivership. The
social and business life of the min
ing communities is in deplorable
condition"

SEES PUBLIC MENACE
By United Press

By United Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. Gov
ernor Vic Donahey today moved to
end the suspension in the mining
industry which has paralyzed the
bitun1inous coal fields of Illinois, In
diana and Ohio since expiration of
the Jacksonville wage agreement
last April.
Governor Donahey, in kilograms
to Governor Len Small of Illinois
and Governor Ed Jackson of Indi-
ana, asked them to join with him
in bringing peace conference of
the United Mine Workers and the
coal operators.
The program suggested by Dona-
hey provided for reconvening of the
interstate conference of miners and
operators of the central competitive
field.
Public Welfare Menaced
The three States would not be
represented officially at the recon-
vened wage session, Governor Dona-
hey said.
Donahey's wire to the other Gov
errors follows:
Goal strike situation in Ohio has
reached the point where public well
fare dema nds a break of deadlock
between United Mine Workers and
operators.
81 am told similar conditions pre-
vail in Indiana and Illinois. Will
you join with me in requesting the
reconvening of the Interstate con-.
ference of miners and opertors?
Wants Concerted Effort
please wire me whether you are
willing to join in concerted effort on
the part of Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio to have the conference re-
opened in the hope of settlement
on an economic basis"
Donahey said he felt that, in view
of lapse of time, perhaps the OPP
orators and miners now may reach
an agreement.
} The failure of the Miami confer
ence resulted in, the present dead
lock.
Advised of the Governors action,
s. H Robbins, president of the Ohio
Coal Operators Association, said
the owners would refuse the invita-
ton.
