BOARDPUSHES
PLAN FOR COAL
0. C. Officials SJill Have Hopes
of U. S. Aid in Winter
; Fuel Crisis.
i i *
Regardless of th iiitcmtnt of official
s of the Interstate Commerce
' Commission that the District need not
expect Federal aid In obtaining: re |
lief frdm the threatened coal shortage
her*, K. C. Graham, chairman of
the coal committee appointed by the
District Commltmloners, today said
that the committee would continue
1.ts survey of coal conditions and file
a brief with the Kederal Commission
urging that some action be taken
to give the Capital an ample supply
of fuel this winter.
The coal committee did not meet
this morning: as had been planned.
' Because of the absence from the city
, of one of the member*, tbe committee
meeting was postponed until tomorrow.'
In the meantime, however.
W. VV. Griffith, coal dealer, a member,
i fathering: data as to the
amount of coal dealers have on hand
and the number of loaded coal cars
said to be Held in railroad yards near
Washington.
( O AHEAI) WITH WORK.
"We have received no word from
the officials of the Interstate Com^
mercc Commission. .- liil Mr. Graham
this morning, "and we are going
ahead with our work. I certainly
feel that the commission will give
consideration to the brief presenting
conditions In \Va.--hlngton, when it is
presented."
Officials of the Federal Commission
yesterday stated to The Times that
no priority rule would be ivsued diverting
coal from other sections of
the country to the district of Columbia.
The American Railroad Association
today announced that an immediate
embargo would be placcd on the
movement of coal to tidewater, except
upon a definite showing that the
coal upon arrival at piers would be
unloaded into vessels within reasonable
promptness. Thi> action was
taken after a contcience with representatives
of the National Coal Association
when it was pointed out there,
is an abundance of coal held up at
seaport cities awaiting to be unloaded
into vessels.
DElliEHS PROTEST,
v Several Washington dealers today
" tfcrniod that they had failed to place
orders with the mines, as charged by
Government officials.
R. N. Smith, a dealer, of 471 E street
southwest, stated that he had placed
Ml several orders with large mining
companies, but had been unable to get
sufficient coal to fill local orders for
anthracite oge, stove, and hut coal.
.1. Maury Dove stated that his company
"has not received in the last
six months 50 per cent of its requirements
of anthrac'te coal, notwithstanding
the fact that it has had on
order with the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company and the
M. A. Hanna Company, two of the
largest producers of anthracitc coal,
hundreds of cars."
The ofljciats of these two companies.
according to Mr. Dove, "have
declined to accept larger orders from
us. stating that it was absolutely impossible
to ship them and, therefore,
they could not accept them."
This explanation of the local coal
shortage will no doubt be given considerable
weight by the special committee
named by the District Commissioners
to Investigate and make
recommendations for handling the
situation during the coming winter.
BALTIMORE TO ADOPT
CAPITAL ZONE PLAN
Real Estate Board Names Represe; tatives

D. C. Commission.
A zoning commission for Baltimore

of the commission here, and Harland
Bartholemew, zoning expert of
Cincinnati, who assisted the local
commission in working out details of
the Capital plan here, is In Baltimore
assisting in the formation of a zone
vystem there.
Tentative zoning maps have been
drafted for the District of Columbia,
to become effective September 1. The
Baltimore Real Kstato Board has

303 Seventh street northwest, where i
he will continue to disseminate his. f
valuable knowledge of agriculture
In addition to being one of the
best known crop experts In the coun- v
try. Major King has a record f years v
of experience with agricultural pioh- (
lems as editor of some of the best j f
known farm publications.
It was from the editorship or . ^
"Farm and Kreslde" that he resigned
July 1, 1RS-4. to become chief of the f
seed division of the Department of f
Agriculture. He held this position
for years until President Cleveiund (

the test of the quality of seed before t
the department bought it. Before

expired, thousands of dollars of poor (
seed were being returned annually (
to dealers who tried to Impose on t

the suggestion that Congressmen t
send seeds to be tested. CoBgress )wis

Major King believes that the F
farmers could help solve the cost of t!
living and shortage of products by h
maintaining small farms. v
"There is plenty of land," he said, li
"and 1 believe that if 1 cart suggest ^
anything that would reduce the cost r
of produce, it will be for the faimers
to take smaller tracts of land and h
cultivate their ground more thor- d

NAVY AWARDS
V
Per Diem Employes at Yard
Confident of Raise by Naval
Wage Board.
While many of the per diem em
ployea of the District Government
were disappointed today to leuin that
the navy yard watte board has not
completed Ita work In rearranging a
new WMfe scale for navy yard workers,
Joseph H. Hurley, president of
the Oily Employee' Union, this morning
stated that the delay would not
precipitate the threatened strike of
emplo> en.
"The per diem employes will gladly
await until the navy yard wage board
completes the new wage scale fof
navy yard workers,.'' said Hurley,
"and will not think of a strike until
the new wage scale Is presented to
the District Commissioners for consideration.
"We feel the District Commissioners
will give us a square deal, and
follow a schedule of wages for the
per diem employes as to be provided
for the navy yard workers."
It was announced at the Navy Department
this morning that the Navy
Wage Board would not have the new
wage scale prepared for several days.
After It is made public, the District
Commissioners will consider If the
same scale can be applied to the District
wokrers Hurley said he was
.gratified at the action of the Federal
Kniployes Union, No. HO. in 'irglng
the District Commissioners to Increase
the pay of the per dlam employes,
as stated in The Times yesterday.
The union's statement said
that the statutory employes of the
District were willing to wait for their
increases until Congress reconvened,
and urged the Commissioners to grant
the wage Increases to per diem employes
regardless of- the fart that
their own salaries could be raised only
by act of Congress.
