The industry argues the Guffey bill would place the government in direct control of coal, not provide self government under oversight. Opponents fear further expansion to other industries if accepted, while wage talks resume and claims about emergency legislation are dismissed. Production reports show bituminous coal output up over 20 percent week over week and anthracite up 11.9 percent, with ample stock and rising production.

Elk River project eyed to solve housing and slum issues
Survey officials prefer the Elk River project for its central location and potential to eliminate a bad slum area. Mayor Dawson says the plan is intensely interesting and worthy of study to possibly relieve housing shortages and beautify the city. Colonel Fortney commends survey workers for their efforts amid a chaotic layout of vacant land west of Two Mile creek and between the naval ordnance plant and Sunset Memorial park. A Berlin invention claims to sort 10,000 eggs an hour.
