Chiefs Meet Once More. NEW YORK. Aug. 17. (By Associated Press.) Railway ex ecutive and brotherhood chiefs to day wrestled with the problem of settling the shopmen's strike and then adjourned until tomorrow without scoring a fall. Tomorrow. whllj President Harding Is expected to appear be fore congress with a message on the rail situation, the conferees will reassemble In an effort to come to grips on the Blippery question of seniority. Today was a day of conferences among brotherhood chiefs this morning; between 1 brotherhood chiefs and executives this after noon, and between brotherhood chiefs and shop crafts officials this evening. The first gathering, over which Warren S. Stone, head of the Brotherhood ot Locomotive En gineers presided, was called for the ostensible purpose of framing a concrete program to be suo- ' mitted to the executives. The brotherhood men, who made plain that their position was sole ly that ot mediators, went into the afternoon parley without breath ing a' word of the proposals for a strike settlement which they were believed to have drawn. . But if .the train service men wero silent, representatives of the striking craft gathered to await the result of the conference, made1 It plain that they did not believe any proposal would be made "by the running, trades which weuld include a sacrifitia of their senior- 5A eommtttee1 representing ? the Vf6 A4W- Poe Net fc 0 HfZ-- rHT you thmm vA4..

Two hints of what had tran spired escaped. First, the executives sent for files containing, decisions of the railroad labor board in which that body. In rulings bearing on other strikes, had directed that strikers should forfeit seniority rights. This was taken to Indicate that the question of seniority, which had figured so prominently in the two efforts by President Harding to end the strike, had bobbed up again. The second hint was ob tained from J. K. Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific, who leaving the conference shortly before it ad journed, indicated that little pro gress had been made. Grand Ronde Indian Runs. Into Legal Toils at Dallas DALLAS. Or., Aug. 17. (Spe- cail to The Statesman.) Larney Tom, an Indian from the Grand Konde reservation reveral miles northwest of this city. was. gath ered hi by City Marshal O. P. Chase Wednesday afternoon In an intoxicated condition. ' , Tom came to Dallas early yes terday morning and parked his car on the sidewalk on North Main street, where he left it-and is said to have tanked- upon ipmi squirrel whiskey JiejKOugbt with him. When found he had about half la 'gailon' of the'llqubr left and was unable to navigate, lie was confined In the county Jail until today when he was taken before Justice ot the Peace Baker at Independence,' Judge-Ed F. Coad of this city being away on his vacation. Two charges were ".'lodged against Tom, one for driving : a car while Intoxicated and one for driving without a license.

COAL SHORTAGE NOT EXPECTED (Continued from page 1.) by congress will be necessary to enable federal price control tem porarily and to facilitate distri bution of anthracite and to sup ply needs of the northwest. Trlces To Be Adjostd "With the resumption of min ing." he said, "the price situation will be quickly over. 'While there will be some control of pric es and distribution temporarily. the matter will quickly eydjust itself.' Collapse of the fair price agree ments made with producing oper ators, however, when the union mines resumed production, was indicated by Mr. Hoover. There would then be 75 to 80 districts, he said, to hold in. line as to pric es by voluntary means which would be an "infernal machine." Nevertheless, Mr. Hoover de- DIXIE bread does not dry out like msny breads in lunches. Then there is the satisfaction of real food value In our loaf. Not all bakers observe the chemical combinations In mixing their dough. And many bny materials because the price Is low er. The best that money can buy goes Into DIXIE' BREADS. We make the profit In volume not In one loaf. ' ;,?'" : We give you a variety In our breads and you' have the satisfaction of having eaten good bread when you eat DIXIE breads. SALEM BAKING COMPANY f BY IM'IS I1CHAID clared, the. reauua of the fair price agreements thus far have ' const tuted a "remarkable show- Ing" with 70 per cent of the coal now moved being handled under . established maximums of from $ 2.2tf to 12.76 a ton. Difficul ties in the price situation, he as- Bert 3d, arose from the other 30 ' per cent , which gave rise to the ; charges of profiteering while op- ' erators observing the agreements .' were passing, up from $8 to $19 on every ton sold. . . ; Ktt to Have Hand Emergency price control legls- latlon, which, : It Is understood. President Harding will puggest ; In his message to congress to- morrow would apply only to coal moving in interstate commerce, la the opinion of the secretary. I state authorities, be believed. would have the power to regulate coal prices during the emergency. especially ir the federal govern ment, acting nationally gave the states the framework to build on.' He advanced the opinion that th federal government could control prices charged by operators, for coal In Interstate commerce and could "deliver coal oveMfie stats line at fair prices," after which the price problem would become one for the states.

Warriner, spokes 1 man for, the operators, said, thera apparently was. a "sincere deter. 1 mjnation on both 'sides to ef feci 1 a settlement" if at all , possible, , but. that it was necessary that tha J union officials 'and the operator! hold conferences between them selves before T further progrea; ? could be made.
