mhI, the railroad would lie given a
reasonable time in which to dimon

quale service and that those unable
to do no would he taken over.
May Kuih Legislation.
Senator Cummin expressed con
fidence tlut tribulation tor both pur
pons could le rushed through con
gress without delay. It wan indi
cated that eonnidrration of these
step would not operate to interfere
with proposed legislation now pend
iitK and denized to rurh profiteer
ing in coal. The W hite Home con
ference followed a survey of the
whole litiiiition at the regular cabi
net meeting and the termination
without result of the conference at
New York between railroad execu
tive and union official.
It was tated that the conference
would he returned Saturday.
Before tonight conference the
ground work had been laid through
administration overture for a fur
ther meeting; between the parties to
the anthracite dispute, to be held
next week at ome point in Pennsyl
vania. It w indicated that certain
propositi would be made which it
was hoped would bring about an ad
justment of tho difficulty which dis
rupted the icisiom at Philadelphia
earlier thia week.
Would Fix Wage Scale.
While no detailed explanation
v as given a to bow the government
could operate anthracite mine in the
i : ;it of their seizure, it wa indi-
il that the first step would be to
wage scale and then request or
vet the miners to return to woric.
I r al mined, it w as stated, would be
marketed through the regular com
mrrcial channels, the government
taking- step to prevent possible
profiteering
The bituminous situation did, not
enter into the discussion, the con
ferees agreeing that this industry
gradually was getting- back to nor
nial. The ability of the roads to
move coal from the mines, in the
view of officials, constitutes an im
portant e emcnt in tins connection,
however, and may prove a determin
ing factor as to the necessity for
federal operation of carriers.
While further developments in
both the e.oal and rail situations are
awaited, measures designed to mini
mize profiteering in both bituminous
and anthracite will be pressed in
congress. . Differences of opinion
have developed between the execu
tive and legislative branches as to
how far the government should go
in its effort to protect coal consumers
irom profiteers.

Denver, Aug. 25. Using the base
mcnt of a church in which to hold
their prisoners in order that their
raid might not be tipped otf while
it progressed, deputies of the district
attorney and Colorado state rangers
early today completed the round up
ami arrest of 33 persons alleged to
have conducted confidence opera
tions in Colorado, Florida, Cuba and
other tourist centers. Under a tech
nical charge of conspiracy tp defraud
the prisoners, ranging in ages from
20 to 73 years, are accused by the
authorities of having fleeced persons
throughout the United States of sums
aggregating $1,500,000.
The officers in their raid seized
$10,000 in cash, weapons of all kinds,
telegraph apparatus and parapher
nalia of a stock exchange by means
of which District Attorney Philip
Van Ci.se charges the alleged ring
relieved patrons of summer resorts
of their money in sums ranging from
$100 to $1,000.
Intended Victim Responsible.
District Attorney Vancise an
nounced information thai led to the
arrest of the gang was supplied by
frank. Norfleet of JIalc Center,
ex., who has been picked as a vic
tim. IScrtleet, according to v ancise
is the man who unmasked the opera
tions of the so-called Joe Furey gang
of confidence mem
"They picked the wrong bird for
a plucking wnen tncy picked ior-
fleet," declared Vancise. "They tried
to work a $50,000 swindle on the man
who caught Joe Furey"
Contcderates of those who operated
here, Attorney Vancise alleges,
fleeced a Texan of $45,000 four years
ago
Victims arc said to have been so
licited in hotels, bathing beaches and
amusement parks, particularly in
Colorado. Florida and Cuba, to play
the market on grains, oil stocks and
stocks and bonds, being permitted to
win their initial speculations and then
being defrauded out of heavier
amounts subsequently
The raid followed investigations of

Wellington. Aug, 25.- (Special
Telegram.) California fruit growers
added to the dispute over the en
forcement of the Volstead act today
by asking the Interstate Commerce
commission for an allocation of
20,000 refrigerator cars for the ship
ment of "wine grapes" to. the eastern
toast section.
Prohibition enforcement officers
were aghast when they heard the
news. This requested allocation is in
addition to the refrigerator cars
asken tor 10 transport regular iruiis,
including table grapes.
Demand Exceeds Supply.
Wne grape growers are said to be
receiving rentals of $600 an acre for
their vineyards and the demand for
wine grapes exceeds the supply. The
Interstate Commerce commission is
unable to furnish the cars and will
endeavor to transport the grapes in
ventilated freight cars.
The shortage of refrigerator cars
is one of the outstanding features of
the car service situation. Eighteen
thousand of them have been built
since the war, hut the increased pro
duction of fruit and vegetables has
kept ahead of the car supply.
- Caused by Dry Law.
The extra demand for cars for the
transportation of wine grapes has
disturbed the calculations of the
commission. The industry has
grown up within the past two years,
coincident with the enactment of the
Volstead law.

side developed in the 18-hour strike
of switchmen, engineers and firemen
here Thursday. The "white collar"
employes( former craftsmen gone up
into official positions, attempted to
do some twitching." Six trains of
fruit were in the yards.

Others from the office took bold, but
within a few hours a coach used on
the Stromsburg branch had the en
tire top ripped ott and while an
Overland train was standing in the
passenger yards it was roughly used
and its observation car bumped into
with some property casualties.
"But you bunglede, too," the
"white collars" replied to the blue
jeans, for while in the hands of the
regular division crew a car of Cali
fornia cantaloupes was squeezed so
tightly that in its enfeebled condition
it literally broke in two and spilled
the fruit.
