way to Washington tonight for a conference with President
Harding which administration off iciaU hoped wculd be the
basis for peace negotiations in the national railway shop

NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN COAL STRIKE
The government was pre
pared to "stand pat" for ten
days o rtwo weeks to ascer
tain whether sufficient coal
will be mined under guaran
tee of federal protection to
assure fuel requirements of
essential industries.
Secretary Hoover called a
meeting of representatives of
ccal producing districts to
discuss a proposed rationing
plan.
Senator King proposed cre
ation of a commission of five
to investigate the controver
sy and report its findings.
No immediate attempt will
be made to reopen Indiana
mines, operators meeting
with Governor McCray yes

Secretary Hoover's plan
for emergency eoal distribu

organization of a central
committee to act through
local committees in the coal
producing centers.
Troops were moving into
southwestern Pennsylvania

bituminous mines are re
opened. .
SCHOOL COSTS
Figures Compiled by CoUn-
ty Superintendent Show
Big Differences
How much does it cost to edu
cate a pupil In the high school?
According to the figures being
worked out In the office of the
county school superintendent, it
depends a lot on where the pupil
is. At Aumsville. for instance.
It Is costing 80.5 cents per pupil
per day; or on a full year sched
ule of 20 days a month for nine
months, 180 days in all, it-would
total $144.90 per pupil.
At Silverton, however, one
could take everything they offer
in their curriculum for only 41.6
cents per pupil per day; or $74.88
per year, for the whole works.
