News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 HOOVER MEETS TODAY WITH NON-UNION OPERATIVES TO PLAN COAL More Than 100 in Attend- ance at White House Conference—Daugh- erty Approves Proposals Dept. of Justice Will Assist in Preventing Profiteer- ing in Commodity Is Promise. ‘Washington, July 24.—Operators from the producing districts of six states in conference today with Secre- tary Hoover agreed infprinciple with the administration’s plan for main- taining urices and insuring fuel dis- | tribution during the strike emergency. The administration plan for pre- venting profiteering in coal and insur- ing fuel distribution during the strike emergency was discussed today with Secretary Hoover with nearly 100 non union operatives and government of- ficlals. Meeting in executive session the conference began the consideration of two proposals laid before them by Mr, Hooper. One provides for the tight- ening of existing voluntary agree- ments to maintain fair prices and the other for establishment of coal pools in the producing districts. Price Maintenanc Attorney Gen. Daugherty was pre- paring to report to Hr. Hoover dur- ing the day upon the legal phrases of the emergency coal control program and it was understood that price| maintenance was up for first consid- eration by the conference. Mr. Hoover was understood to take the position that the conference was held to deal entirely with the two problems presented and not to con- sider means for settling either the coal or rallroad strikes. Later the department of justice an- nounced that Attorney Gen. Daugher- ty had submitted an opinion to Sec- retary Hoover “‘sustaining every phrase’ regarding the legality of the commerce secretary’s plan “in connec- tion with the coal shortage and dis- tribution.” Daugherty Speaks. f “While the merits of the plan were! not particularly submitted to me for consideration,” the attorney general's etatement said, “yet I desire to say that it is the most comprehensive, and in my judgment, practical, and I am sure Secretary Hoover, because of his vast experience and capabllities and with the co-operation of other gov- ernmental agencies will be most ef-! fective in carrying out the president's plans and policies for the material re- lief to the public in the present emer- gency.” The attorney general declared that he would join with Secretary Hoover and every other governmental agency under the direction of the president, to relieve the situation to the end that coal and other necessities of life may be furnished the American people in sufficient quantities and at reasonable prices. Proposed Plan. As threshed out in detail at a series of conferences of the federal agencies involved yesterday, the plan contem- plates the creation of a central com- mittee, with representatives, it is un- derstood, from the departments of commerce, justice, interior and the interstate commerce commission, operating through local committees in the producing districts of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, | Pennsylvania and Alahama. Coal distribution, it is planned, will be controlled through pooling in the various producing districts and the distribution of cars under a preferen- tial system to be instituted, under au- thority of the interstate commerce commission, Conference Postponed Detroit, July 24.4#— The conference scheduled for today between Govern- or Groesbeck and T.

F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudgon and chairman of the Eastern Railroad Fresidents' con- ference. “Mr. Hooper is quoted as saying ‘as might be supposed, the president seeks to know this situation trom every angle—from the viewpoint of our ~arriers, the employes, the lahor board and the public',” said Mr. Loree “As far as I am advised, neither the president nor the chairman of the la- ber board has ever made zny effort the emplo.

When Edward Recano, who has been in the limelight for the past several days due to his arrest on charge of embezzlement, and his al- leged subsequent attempt to commit suicide, went to police court this morning he found himself in the en- emy's camp in more ways than one, In fact, it is due only to the prompt- ness of his attorney, P. F. McDon- ough, and the vigilance of the police officlals that Recano is not sporting marks of rudeness this afternoon. Waived Hearing. Recano was charged with embezzle- ment of $1,853 by Luigi Raviola of Forrestville. Last Friday afternoon he was found in a room at his home unconscious from escaping gas, after what the police think was an attempt to commit suicide, He was held un- der $3,000 ball for a hearing. Before Judge B. W.

Following the adjournment of court Recano, his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Ra- viola and several other friends of plaintiff and defendant respectively got into an argument in their native language in the police station. The argument was continued to the lobby where it became more violent and in a few minutes there was considerable pushing and shoving. Big Fight—Almost. Fists were waved about in the air |in an excited manner, and in the mix- |up Recano and Raviola were seen shoving each otMer towards the gut- Mrs. Raviola and Mrs. Liborin Seagliola were hav- ing a melee of their own In the cor- ridor. Somebody shouted, “Police!” and a crowd gathered quickly. Chief of Police Rawlings, who had been in his private office, Motorcycle Policeman William §. Strolls and Attorney P. F. McDonough separated the excited parties. While it {s said no actual blows were struck, the signs all indi- cated differently. Captain Thomas Grace rescued one woman's hat from the poli¢ce station desk, Chief Raw- lings recovered a hat pin and side comb from the floor of the Ilobby while a bystander brought Recano’s glasses in from the gutter. Recano was rushed into a side room in the police station where he re- mained in custody of his attorney un- til the crowd had dispersed. Mrs. Scagliola, who was mixed up in the rumpus, claims to have given Recano, $145.75 on July 5 to send to Europe and she is afraid he didn't send ft. “Go and Sin No More." “You can go this morning, but let the liquor alone after this,” said Judge Alling to James Faradorick, who got drunk Saturday night and attempted to separate two women who were fighting on Broad street. The women turned on James and a mixup resulted in a call for the police, Mot- orcycle Policeman Willlam 8. Strolls and Patrolman Thomas Feeney ar- rested James for fighting. Witness Drowned—Case Is Nolled. The charge of assault against George Sadis, who was accused of as- saulting Joseph and Mary Grazyla- vick, was nolled, The case grew out of a fight between boys of the re- spective familles, one of whom was I'red Sadis, who was drowned in the municipal swimming pool last week.
