NewB-Tirres Srwvial Service: LANSING, Mich.. Sept. 1. According to an apparently reliable tip that reached Lansing the coal miners of Michipan, who hive called a special convention for September 11 in Saginaw for the purpose of demanding a higher wage scale from the operators, who have raised the price of coal approximately 2 1 0 , percent, are planning to ask Gov. Sleeper to call a special session of' the legislature and enact an emer-1 gency law with a view to having the; state take over the mines. This is the plan outlined by Gov.! Lowden of Illinois and the Michigan1! coal miners, according to reliable information, would like to see the i plan given a trial in this state. ' Gov. Sleeper Is not in Irnsing j and whether the chief executive w ouhi sanction such a radical step j is not known. There is a prevail- j ing opinion in the state house, how. ever, that the Michigan constitution would not permit the state to j own and operate coal mines. Gov. Sleeper stated at the meeting of tho coal preparedness com- j mittee a few days ago that the at-' tention of the federal government j would be directed to conditions inj Michigan with the view to having the prices at the Michigan mines regulated in the same manner as at the eastern bituminous lields. j Michigan Overlooked. J It is believed Michigan was overlooked by the trade commission and it is also thought that Michigan coai in competition with the coal from other states which come to Mich!-. gan, would be forced down in price. 1 There is a prevailing opinion that if the suggestion of the coal admin- j istration is followed. Michigan con-: sumers, particularly in Saginaw and Pay counties, will be at the mercy of the operators. The plan, accord-; ing to reports, is to have the min supply the territory nearest to them. . Were this followed by Ohio, Indiana j and West Virginia, the coal from ! these states would not reach Sagi-. naw valley. There would be no com- , petition and Saginaw valley operators could continue to charge exces-'

sive rates. All the available information covering the Michigan situation that the committee can gather, will be forwarded to Washington at once and inasmuch as the Michigan mines produce annually more than 1.000.000 tons of bituminous coal, it is believed here that Washington officials will appreciate the need of federal regulation of coal prices in this state.
