BERLIN, Thursday. Aug. 7 (Anso-
ciated Prone).——A commission of em-
players and workers was appointed at
yesterday‘s coal conference of experts
from all parts of Germany to devise
means of increasing the productiou of
coal so that Germany will not freeze
or starve during the coming winter.
Its first session was held today at the
Ministry of Labor.
The only result of yesterday's con-
ference seemed to be the pointing out.
that the situation is desperate. No
