ARRANGING FOR CHICAGO FEDERA­
TION CONFERENCE OF PRODUCERS.
The Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators' Association,
at a recent meeting in Terre Haute, Ind.,
selected delegates to attend the bituminous conference
to be held in Chicago November 22, with
reference to labor conditions. Those named are
as follows: J. C. Kolsem, general manager of
the Jackson Hill Coal & Coke Co., Terre Haute;
Hugh Shirkie, Dering Coal Co., Terre Haute; J.
Smith Talley, Terre Haute; R. R. Hammond, president
Dering Coal Co., Chicago; Carl Scholz, vicepresident
of the Consolidated Indiana Coal Co..
Chicago; J. K. Seifert, vice-president and general
manager of the Indiana Southern Coal Co., Chicago;
Job Freeman, of the United Fourth-Vein
Coal Co.. Linton, Ind.; A. M. Ogle, president, and
John McFadyen, general manager of the Vandalia
Coal Co.. Indianapolis; and George C. Richards.
President F. L. Robbins of the Pittsburgh Coal
Co., announced that his company will take no
part in the Chicago meeting. His attitude is
explained in his statement as follows: "We are
urging the miners to send their delegates to their
convention uninstructed so they will be free to
act after they will have learned the actual conditions
with fairness and intelligence from the viewpoint
of their own and the operators' best interests.
The Pittsburgh Coal Co. will go into the
next convention free from any entanglements with
other operators as to policy or prices, prepared
to enter into a fair agreement based on the actual
and prospective conditions which a careful analysis
of the situation will disclose. It would be in
consistent for us to go into any advance conference
that would bind us to any definite attitude
when we ask the miners to discard advance declarations
and to send their delegates unpledged."
Cuyahoga county, Ohio, is advertising a fourth
time for bids on its coal supply. When bids
were last opened a technical irregularity prevented
the Pittsburgh Coal Co. securing the business
at $2.35 the ton.
