SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1919 AEFINERSPROVE. EASY MARK FOR DENVER OFFICE Local Champions Smothered Under Score of 10 to 2 by Brilliant Playing of Denver Aggregation. The Denver basebal] team repre- senting the head offices of the Mid- west refining company had little trouble in downing the local nine of the Midwest firm here by a 10-to-2 score. The Casper team looked really good in only one inning, the fourth when a single, double, a triple and a error allowed two’ runs to come across. Denver had a real hurler in Samide and he held the heavy hitting Casper batters to five blows which is almost a record for this season, Although Denver won, a huge crowd which overflowed onto the field and sur- rounded the diamond on all sides with motor cars, liked the defensive and stronger Casper pitcher might h meant a closer contest, according to many fans. The visitors clouted Hunt for safe one, three of. them being f extra abses. Several brilliant cate in the Denver outer gardens cut off possible extra base local heavy hitters. In the fifth Metz appeared to have a sure home run or at least a triple but Cochran, the fighting center fielder, who had just received sad news from the big fight, was way out there and snagged it just as it was about to hit the farthermost motor car in the center section. Metz was “peeved.” Again in the seventh, McNeill, the brilliant little third sacker of the local team, biffed a pretty possible single or double to right, buf Scherrer as usual was under it after*a long run and got it with a one-handed spear. A few minutes later, the star right in his right leg as he slid into third base. He had singled and was doing some pilfering. ed off four runs in the first as an opener. A walk, an error by Whittle, a wounded batter, and a_two-base blow by Morsby who was there with the bases loaded, brought in four counters and enough to win, But the Denverites kept pluggir along and the fourth saw three more runs coming in. Waller, second man up in this inning, lammed out a tw base blow and three singles in rapid “succession by Walsh, Moorehead and Scherrer brought in three counters, making the Denver total seven. It was in the Casper half of this inning that the greatest damage was done to the enemy works. Whittle singled and advanced on a passed ball Hayes was there with a triple scoring Whittle from second.

The nation faces an inevitable scarcity of coal and higher prices this fall. Very likely the coal shortage will develop into the sertous- ness of an ojd-fasnioned famine. No less an authority than Dr. Harry A. Garfield, the United States Fuel Adminis- trator, stands sponsor for this statement. Seer Government bureau chiefs agree with im. There is a little ray of hope in Doctor Gar- field’s startling announcement, however. The distressing situation, which a scarcity of coal invariably brings, can be minimized. There- fore, the calamity of an actual famine: may be averted. The possible remedy, says Doctor Garfield, lies in an early buying movement. This is the nation’s only chance. But, our counselor warns significantly, this remedy must be applied at once. There cannot be further postponement. Each day early buying is delayed adds to the difficulties of fall deliveries, ‘ This serious shortage of coal is forecasted not only by Doctor Garfield and the Ruel Ad- ministration, but by three other Government bureaus, The Geological Survey—Uncle Sam's sta- tistician—predicts a serious shortage because, it says, the nation already is short 48,000,000 tons in comparison with the preceding calen- dar year. The Department of Labor, through Secre- tary Wilson and Director Babson of the In- formation and Education Service, says coal is going to be searce because labor will be scarce. The Administration of Railroads, through Director General Hines, sees an impending danger because cars in which to haul coal will not be available. DR. GARFIELD’S SUM UP Doctor Garfield sums up his reasons for ¢ belief in a serious situation about as follow: An inactive market since the armistice was signed, a mild winter, the’ consumption of last summer's stocks rather than the issuance of new orders for coal this year and a resump- tion of business which will come late in the year, ‘The labor shortage plays an important part in the forecasts. The Geological Survey says that the mines have been working only on a half-time basis since last fall. Idle mines mean idle miners. And most of these idle miners have been recruited from the ranks of aliens. Denied work and wages, these aliens are urning to Barone by the boat loads. Already 34,000 have left these shores. At the present rate by fall, the labor shortage will be serious, Secretary Wilson declares. that war took 140,000 miners from the industry. And the cessation of immigration has not permitted the repletion of the waning ranks. ‘You cannot mine coal without labor. You may have all the demand the most optimistic sees ahead, You may have all the cars. the most sanguine believes in. You my have al! the other necessary conditions for a prosper ous season in the coal industry; but without men to dig the coal,and without’ men’to handle the coal, coal won't get into the bins. . Then add to this the car shortage predicted by Mr. Hines, r. Hines deals in figures. He says the rail- roads have just so many cars in which to haul the nation’s commodities. coal se of war necessities ee Last year, bec: was given a prefe: A different situation exists today. n- bargoes have been lifted. Many indust denied coal for two years are preparing on a long-unsatisfied want of huge scale to fill a the people. LOST TIME TO BE REGAINED production is going to come The building materials nake up for lost time. Sewing machines, nm mowers, cary sweepers, kitchen utensils, cooking stoves, phonographs, pianos and the thousand and one other commodities restricted in production, are going to be produced in unprecedented quan- tities—not only for domestic use, but for all the world. All this means transportation—the employ- ment of freight ci And so Mr. Hines says there will be a di- vision of cars this fall. Coal must take its Automobile back into its c industry is going to chance. Coal can be hauled now n sum- mer months. Cea! can and should be bought and stored now, be se it is the natural thing to do. This will ¢ other commodities a chance. So, solely upon the question of supply and delivery the dealer and the consumers find sound advice in Mr. rfield’s warning to buy now and store. And now comes the argument of higher prices. If the other reasons for early buying do not suffice, the pocketbook argument pro- vides the motive impulse. Higher prices for coal are predicted by such authorities as Secretary Wilson and Mr. Bab- son of the Department of Labor; by, Irving Fisher, professor of economy at Yale Univer- J. Ogden Armour, one of the nation’s of industry, and by Judge Elbert H. Gary, the reat steel industry. These y that present prices are natural. and are here to stay They b their reasoning upon the increased cost of production and increased taxation. Seventy-five per cent of production cost is labor’s wages. Labor’s compensation is re- flected in the price of its products. Labor today is working on a war-level basis. And labor won't consent to a reduction. Taxation was increased by war bills. Taxes won't be reduced for many years to come. READJUSTMENT ONLY UPWARD A new level of prices for labor and | products is established. There will be idjustment unless it is upward. This f plus the natural increase of costs which demand and supply bring, plus the nat- ural increase of costs which the difficulties of winter deliveries encourage, points to an in- evitable higher price for coal this fall and winter. There is yet the question of freight rates to be considered Samuel O. Dunn. lares that the r cent incr ditor of “Railway Ag ilroads will have at leas Ase at ONCE _ Senator Cummins, who will be chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committe, says he is going to i i a bil Congress to provide for a effect by July 1st. ry given by both au- thorities. for the freight rate increase. The are to be returned to private With them will go a huge jovernment-increased wages. either will have to cut wages or increase income. Labor won't consent to a reduction. To at- tempt it without this willingness certainly would bring trouble. The tardy buyer of coal gets some consola- tion out of the possibility of the ratiroads be- ing kept under Government control for some time to come. The buyer is laboring under a guided be- lief. Senator Cummins says his party—the one now in control of the Senate—will recommend the immediate return of rai roads to private ownership because this would bankrupt the roads. But Senator Cummins says that the Govern- ment cannot and must not shoulder upon the people the burden of this fast-increasing de- ficit. The roads must pay their way, and rates must and will be increased to relieve the tax- burdened people. So, which ever way the pendulum of chance swings—whether Uncle Sam runs the railroads or private ownership resumes their operation —freight rates will be increased, and this, if Senator Cummins and the Republican party have their say—and majority parties usually do—will come by July Ist of this year. Higher freight rates add to the costs of coal. This is still another reason why dealers and consumers should get the early buying habit at onee. : LABOR VITAL FACTOR Now, let us sum up the situation: Doctor Garfield urges early buy storing for two reasons—a probable of coal and an inevitable higher price It is apparent that not enough coal can be mined this fall and winter to supply tain abnormal demand of beth d industrial buying. You cannot force a camel throu. needle’ e. Neither can you force an un- usuall, arge full year’s demand into a few months of production. Tt is not a question of coal. Unbo' supplies are in the ground. The probler getting the labor to dig it. The forthcoming and fast-approaching shortage of man-power is going to cripple pro duction. A crippled production means coal shortage And yet, granting that the labor ¢ can be solved, there still is left the tran: tion, question, Mr. Hines tells us there won't be enough cars to haul coal even if we get the men to mine it, if we delay buying and do not move the supply this summer. Using the simple law of deduc seem buying now and storing is the. obvious- g to do. Therefore, eidance of roads 1 coal famine this fall lies with the coal déaler and the cor le two can solve the prob d the bur them. sumer of coal. Th lem and avert a national calamity den of the responsibility lies wit Let the dealer, through personal appeals and newspaper advertising to his trade, encourage the filling of coal bins this summer. Let the large user of coal buy his supplies and stock up now, And, furthermore, let them start on plan immediately.
