GOVERNOR TRIES II AVERT COAL PRICE SOARING Attorney General Called in by McCray in Effort to Cope With Profiteering. COST MOVES UPWARD High Quotations Are Heard of From Many Points Where Fuel Is Being Sought. Official action to stop profiteering m ; coal was contemplated by Governor | McCray today. Reports of high j prices because of the mine and railroad strikes reached him from all! parts of the State and called in At- j torney General Lesh to determine : what action could be taken. The Governor said he could not take direct action in profiteering cases but hoped to find means of combating un- j fair prices. A dispatch from Evansville said J Chicago brokers were offering $9 a ton for coat f. o. b. Evansville, while j Kentucky operators are said to have i received offers as high as $lO and 111. SI 1.93 for Mine Run A telegram from Terre Haute said i an Ohio distributing firm was asking j 18 a ton for mine run, which with the 1 freight rate of $3.93 pec ton. would run the total cost to $11.93. Charles Kemp of the Kemp Broth- j ers' Packing Company of Frankfort I has appealed to the Governor for im- | mediate relief from soaring prices j which are becoming prohibitive to canners. Governor McCray received an answer to his second telegram to John Hessler. president of the United Mine ; Workers of America of the Terre Haute district, in which Hessler again j refused to meet with members of the , scale committee of the mine operators. ; Hessler maintained his stand that: this act would be against the policy of the National Union. He said he was willing to meet the Governor with others of his colleagues.; The Governor answered he would con- j fer with the miners tomorrow morn- j ing at 9:30 o'clock, the time set for j the general conference. Hessler. according to his telegram to the Governor, is not willing to enter into any settlement that would not be national in effect. Operators in Session Coal operators in Indiana, between fifty and a hundred in number, met at the daypool Hotel to discuss, and i perhaps take action upon the Governor's invitation to resume action at the mines. Questionnaires sent out by the public service commission to all coal using utilities of the State. Saturday, tysll furnish the commission and the Governor with information concerning the coal supply. A few answers were received. One utility reported it had paid $1.15 a ton April 1 and that the last bought had cost $7 per ton. Ogle Makes Statement Alfred M. Ogle, president of the National Association of Bituminous Operators, made the following statement: “The union operators want it clearly : and emphatically understood that theyj are in favor of the immediate appoint- ; ment of a fact-finding tribunal. They | are united in desiring that all facts in the union bituminous coal fields be given to the public at the earliest possible date, and that these facts be had from a commission that >hail be non-partisan and impartial. The public is entitled to this information and the Government needs it.” Governor McCray has written a letter to Harold A. Henderson. Terre Haute, genera! counsel of the United Mine Workers of America, in which he outlined his policy and explaining to some extent the plan whicn he would adopt in case an early settlement was not reached.

Striking railroad shopmen were re- j | quested to report all acts of violence , iin connection with the strike, by ■ j Judge Francis E. Bak?r of the Circuit: | Court of Appeals, in Federal Court toi day. “I am going to be back here next Monday,” Judge Baker said, “and in order to preserve the dignity and I peace of our State. I am asking yon j defendants to cooperate with me and I report all cases of violation of these orders. I want all evidence of mer% i who have done things contrary to the letter and spirit of these orders submitted to me. All who prevent free men in a free country from doing as they have a right to do must be put where they cannot do it.” ! Judge Baker's statement was made following the granting of temporary injunctions to the Wabash. Baltimore & Ohio. Erie. Big Four and Monon railroads, forbidding labor unions in voiced in the railroad strike, and their i members from interfering in any way | with the operation of the roads. In ! each instance temporary restraining orders had been granted previously, j Through an oversight the Cincinnati, i Indianapolis and Western case was | overlooked, and it was taken up at 2 j o'clock this afternoon.

By United Press WASHINGTON. July 24.--Powers almost as drastic as those used by the Government during war time, will bo brought into play in dealing with the coal and mine strikes, it was believed here today. Issuance of an order declaring that the dual mine and rail strike constituted a national emergency within the meaning of Section 402 of the i transportaiion act. was expected from the Interstate Commerce Commission. Issuance of this decree would result in—1. Governmental direction of the railroads and control of the distribution and price of coal. 2. Seizure and operation of the mines. Willingness Essential The Government's move will be made if the strikers and the employers do not manifest a willingness to settle, the?:- dispute, one leading Republican Senator said. Assurances have been given the executive that any additional powers needed can be voted by Congress in the near future, he added. Penalties may be imposed on any carrier who refuses to obey interstate commerce commission emergency orders. Fines of from SIOO to SSOO may be Imposed with SSO for each day the violation is continued. No fines are provided against workers. AGREE TO DISAGREE Neighbors Go Together to Police Headquarters.
