This is the first time, as far as is known, that these representative organizations ot Protestants, Ro man Catholics and Jews have taken Joint Action In an industrial mat ter. The churches. In their ap- ycai, asKea me t'resiaent: To call SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER national coal confer- 67 1-arn notel where a ronf.r.... organization will be worked out at mo o ciock meeting Tuesday aft ernoon A number of entertain ment features have been provided for the delegates. Discussing preliminary plans yes terday noon, members of the con ference committee were the guests of Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt and her daughter, Miss Cornelia Van derbilt, at a luncheon in Biltmore house, there being present the fol lowing: Charles E. Waddell, D. M. Williams, E. E. Wheeler, Thomas A. Coxe, Jr., Harry W. Plummer, R .8 Morrison. MaJ. Warren V. all and Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, te geologist, the last named hav t been Instrumental In wrnrinv ' of this conference in Asheville. In addition to the features of the program steady announced there will be special moving pic ture films shown at the Battery Park hotel at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday night to which all conference dele gates and their friends are being invited. These will give ffranhlr account of the typical power de velopments throughout the South ern Appalachian region, as well as oi particular projects constructed by the Alabama Power company. With the exception of two speak ers, the program as recently an nounced In The Citizen will be car ried out In Its entirety, according to Colonel Pratt, who exnlainerl that the governors of states In ths noutnern Appalachian region have found It Impossible to attend at this time. The fact that they glad ly gave the conference their moral ' support by calling it over their sev eral signatures, however, It taken tsken as ample proof of their ln terest In Its success. A careful registration of dele gates arriving for the conference will be .made at tha Battery Park hotel porch entrance adjacent to the large dining hall which Is to be turned over for the conference. While there will be much of the greatest Importance connected with Ouso imln life, ""3 of on the conference floor by ent leaders In many walks arrangement has also been ade to expedite the consideration a wide variety of correlated problems by turning these Ques tions, over to committees who will not only report back to fhe con vention, hut will function In a per manent capacity, working out de tails of their various problems in the future. ' Permanent Uncords Of Conference. Of particular Interest is the an nouncement that the entire confer ence program will be recorded and later published in booklet form, Just as the proceedings of tho first Southern Forestry congress, held In Asheville in 1616, were publish ed in a form that has since proved popular with those interested in forestry problems. It is signifi cant. Colonel Pratt feels, that the water power conference should al so have its beginning here in the metropolis of the Land of the Sky. Mayor Gallatin Roberts will wel iSime the delegates when the con- J ence formally opens at 4 o'clock fila afternoon. The full afternoon program follows: Conference call td to order; invocation; reading of call for conference; address of . welcome; response; , appointment of committees; miscellaneous busi ness; Introduction presiding officer or the conference. There will be a get-together at S o'clock Tuesday evening at the Battery Park hotel, and at 8:30 o'clock the motion pictures of pow ' er projects will be shown in the conference hall. Particular weight will be given the deliberations of the confer ence, it Is believed, In the pres ence of acknowledged leaders from numerous states, prominent among them being O. C, Merrill, executive secretary of the Federal Power commission, who is expected to reach Asheville this morning. Numerous committee meetings will probably be held prior to the conference proper, as much detail and a variety of subjects are to be handled. A large amount of this a is handled yesterday by Colonel att in conference with Thorn ke Saville, of the engineering de partment, , University of North Carolina, and MaJ. Warren E. Hall district engineer in Asheville for the United States geological sur vey. Many Experts Are -' On Program, The only changes made In the program since It was recently an nounced by Colonel Pratt will be elimination of Paul J. Kruesi, of Washington, who was unable to come , and the addition of T. W. Norcross, chief of engineering for the U. 8. Forestry service, who r speaks Wednesday morning. The full program for Wednesday is as follows: Wednesday morning session, Wednesday morning session, June To get the facts nf the rnnl In dustry through a government in vestigation; Not to wait until the suffering women and children of the mining camps has become a national ca lamity; and To end the coal strike now. The statement expresses gratifi cation that the press, as a whole, has been successful in recording the facts in the strike. The ap peal of the churches in full Is as follows: IVxt of Appeal Is Given In Full "To the President of the United States: "We desire to express to you, on behalf of the three great religious organizations that we represent, our conviction that the time has ar rived when our government hnM act to bring about a conference in the bituminous coal Industry to end the present strike. We believe that the majority of the people of this country are unwilling to have its vitally important industries subject to economic combat as a means of neiuing disputes. "Whenever either disputant in a controversy declines to employ the methods of conference and arbitra tion it becomes proper for the gov ernment to Intervene. It is in conceivable that public action should wait until the sufferings of women and children, In the mining towns should have reached the proportions of a national calamity. un Marcn 31, represent-1 stives of the Commission on the! Church and Social Service of the! Federal Council of the Churches of v-nrist in America, and tho De partment of Social Action of the National Catholics Welfare Council, put before you a resolution adopt ed by their respective bodies urging government action looking toward the settlement of the coal contro versy.

Cited "In spite of the desire of the gov ernment to avoid Interference In the controversy, it has become nec essary for the secretary of com merce to request the operators In the non-union fields and the retail ers not to take undue advantage of the situation by excessively in creasing the price of coal. This action, manifestly necessary under the circumstances, nevertheless serves to show the helplessness of the nation and the increasing dan ger to the public in the fact of so great an industrial struggle. The coal reserves are being steadily de pleted; the suffering of the miners and their families is becoming more acuto and the bitterness attendant would be kept continuously before upon the conflict will inevitably In crease. "We, therefore, are Impelled to urge once more that the govern ment Jake steps to end the coal strike by bringing the operators and miners into conference.
