Indianapolis, lnd., Aug. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Indiana legislature will be called in special session to deal with the coal price problem. This developed as a practical certainty today following the return of Governor Goodrich to Indianapolis after a series of conferences in Chicago and elsewhere with coal operators, state and national council of defense members and Governor Lowden of Illinois. While the governor would make no formal statement of his intentions it was learned that he had reached a dettnite conclusion as to the necessity for emergency legislation to deal with "outrageous” coal prices. Governors of Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois will take action similar to that decided upon by the Indiana executive, it was stated hero. Governor Goodrich, it was learned at the state house today, is thoroughly disgusted over the failure of Indiana coal operator to reach an agreement witli the state council of defense on the question of coal prices and is convinced that legislative action is necessary to bring about desired results. It is believed that the call for the legislature will fix the date of the meeting for some time during the present month. In addition to the coal price problem. the following legislative program has been tentatively mapped for tlie special session. Legalization of the act of the state council of defense; settlement of the constitutional convention question; a financial measure to take care of Indiana's part in the war for a year at least; a bill providing a wage increase for day laborers of the state.
