POVERTY STALK
IN ANTHRACITE
COAL REGIONS
Business Conditions Worst
Since Administration of
Cleveland.
BY ARTHUR N. SUVERKRUP
IInited Press staff CorreSpondelat

ASHLAND, Pa, Aug. 16.-The an
thracite coal industry is in the proc
ess of an economic readjustment and
business conditions in this section
are said by veteran business men
and miners to be worse than at any
time since the administration of
Grover Cleveland.
Miners declare that times are
worse than they we're during the
longest strike on record-the strike
which ended in February, 1926.
During July the average wage
earned by the miners in this section
was SIS, week hardly enough to
pay rent at the current rates in
this section.
Work Day Each Week
The average of one days work
per week is general in the mines
and collieries of this section. Not
only the Reading colleries, which are
in a majority, but the Lehigh Valley
and small independent operations as
well, are working on that basis
if at all.
Every one connected with the
mines in any way today 10 suffering
from financial difficulties.
Mine operators have never di'
rectly given out statement assign
ing a reason for the unprecedented
conditions which exist TO-DAY.
1t has been learned, however
from sources close 10 the operators
that there is no market for the an
thracite product.
One mine superintendent here tolc
the United Press than every tor
of coal we mined last week is
standing in coal cars in the yards.
Close Down Entirely
He said that his mine is under or
ders to close down entirely within
a few days.
Another mine official in DISCUSSING
the situation said:
Regardless of what may be saic
to the contrary substitutes used b.
consumers during the recent strike
ruined large part Of the hard Goa
market"
This official, however, expressed
the belief that a portion of the mar
ket now using substitutes would b.
won back to hard coal within
short time.

DELAY LEVY ACTION
Special Council Meeting
May Be Held Tonight.

Council President Claude E. Neg
ley was in doumt today at noon as
to whether he would call a special
council session for late today or to-
night to name a cammittee to act
ON the city budget for next year
proposed by City Controller William
G. Buser.
Councilmen Boynton ]. Moore
and Walter R. Dorsett urged him tc
call the special session.
The budget submitted by Buser
calls for $1.95 tax rate.
The stormy session Monday night
at which impeachment charges were
brought against Mayor Duvall ano
City Controller william G. Busel
caused the financial statement tc
be neglected.
The increased levies were SUBJ
mitted to the councilmen by letter
from Duvall Upon recommendation
of Buser. One of the items pro-
posed a 5o-cent levy to obtain funds
for payment of tax refunds for 1919
1920 and 1921. The present rate
is $1.04.
If a special session is held the
Duvall impeachment could not b
acted on unless it was included II

OPPOSE WAGE BOOST
Trolley Firm Wants Green
Petition Dropped.

Petition to dismiss the wage in
crease petition of James Green and
other employees of the indianapolis
Street Railway Company was filed
with the public service commission
today by Superintendent James P.
Tretton of the street car company.
The Green petition vas taken to
the commission as a board of arbi-
tration. 1t asks 20 cents an hour in
crease in pay and better hours and
working conditions. A former petit
ton of Green resulted in 3-cent
increase in wages, which they COM
pany applied to all car men.
The company asks dismissal of the
present petition on the ground that
Green and other petitioners signed
new wage agreements, that no
change in conditions have arisen
since the former hearing, and that
the company by granting the other
increase added 100000 to expendi-
lures without increasing revenues
For some time the company has
been operated at loss.

JOB IS NO WORRY
Cal Won't Head U. S. Steel
or Amherst.
Rm limited Press

BIZ United Press
RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. l6.-
President Coolidge is not thinking
about becoming head of the United
States Steel Corporation or presi-
dent of Amherst College when he
retires, March 4, 1929, it was learned
at the summer executive Offices
today.
Coolidge thinks that the Steel
Corporation would not care to wait
a year and half to fill Judge E. H.
Gary's post and realizes that his
Alma Mater has just chosen young
man to be president there. He
doubts whether the Steeel Corpora
ton would want him anyway.
The President, however, is not
worried about finding job when he
leaves office, as he is under the i'm
preston that work always finds him
and he has never had TO look Tor
any.

Times YgsbMimgtog Bureau;

WASHINGTON, March Is. -
United States Senator David A.
Reed of Pennsylvania may succeed
Judge Ebert H. Gary as head of
the United States Steel Colccre-
ton.
This report has been circulated
in Washington for months. 1t has
come at frequent intervals although
Senator Reed has insisted he knew
nothing about it and the suggestion
never had been made to him by
persons in authority.
He has not indicated whether he
would accept if the job actually
was offered. Senator Reed is now
in Europe. 8
Before entering the Senate Reed
was one of the attorneys for the
United States Steel Corporation
and in 1917, he argued in the
Supreme Court against the Govern
ment's suit to dissolve the corpora
ton for alleged violation of the
Sherman anti trust act.
Reed has also represented the
steel corporation in other litigation.
