shall He down together. Is very for
from being at hand. But, althougn

trust. buster of (the new deal, can take
a cocktail off 'the same tray.
The meeting was a significant one
less because the new dealers present
assured the business men that the
oncoming anti-monopoly Inquiry
would be fair and reasonable, than
because It was part of a new and
more promising effort to bring gov
ernment and business together.
The get-together was arranged by
PrentLsa Coonley.a tall, sandy-haired,
pleasant mannered partner of Paul
Shields, the powerful broker who Is
Wall Street's chief contact with the
White House. At the suggestion of
W. Averlll Harrlman. chairman of th
board of the Union Pacific railroad
and another White House friend,
Coonley moved to Washington a
month or so ago to- promote better
business -government relations. -

Proposal Offered As Conces
sion to Groups Complain
ing Tourist Trade Dam
agedAcceptance Seen
PORTLAND. June 22. (AP) Earl
K. Nixon, director of the state de
partment of geology and mineral in
dustries, said today hydraulic miners
on the Rogue river and its tributaries
had been asked to cease operations
from July 1 to November 1.
The proposal was offered as a con
cession to groups who complained
mining damaged fishing and tne
tourist trade. Nixon said a sufficient
number of miners had been consult
ed to assure acceptance.
Operators will be asked to sign an
agreement indicating their willing
ness to close down for four months.
In return, Nixon explained, the
miners will assume that lower river
Interests will recognize the concession
before taking further legal action
against hydraulic work.
Curry county residents filed a suit
last year to enjoin 17 mining oper
ators from roiling the Rogue.
"It is understood that this depart
ment has no authority to compel
compliance with . this closing down
agreement." Nixon said, "but it might
be pointed out that operators not In
sympathy with the agreement would
be most apt to be affected by retal
iatory measures on the part of the
lower river Interests."
Miners have not been active at the
week-ends since April. Nixon asserted,
however, that complaints from Gold
Beach continued. ,
The suggested closing dates con
form with a California law affecting
mining on the Klamath river.
