Heavy Buying Indicates Fear Of Coal Shortage This Winter : \Production Abave Normal, and All Needs Will Be Met Is Not BL WILL P. KENNEDY, | What is the situation regarding next winter's coal supply? Are many persons or industries going to suffer through a shortage, as they did last winter? 1 With the coal commission's report on anthracite due tomorrow and with | the mine operator's reply to -the unfon’s demands for a new wage scale carrying a 20 per cent increase prom- | ised tomorrow—this is a pertinent question, which consumers all over | the country are asking. y Regarding anthracite, or the coal, for home use: The people have been putting coal in their cellars, which! in the final analysis is what really counts. The home consumers are, therefore, in much better shape than usually on this date. While many, particularly in the northeastern states, are complaining to the fed- cral fuel distributor that they cannot get anthracite coal to fill orders, the ! outlook is that they will be able to} get it before they need it. The an- thracite production has been steady and above normal. Of course, if al strike should be called about Septem- ber 1 or at any time later, it is ax-| iomatic that there would be some in- convenience some time and som¥- where, because it requires all the anthracite that can be mined during steady, all-year production to meet the requirements. Soft Coal Plentiful. Regarding bituminous, or indus- trial, coal: No prospect of any serious Anconvenience or shortage is now in| sight, because the agreement does not expire until April 1, 1924, The only chance of shortage is through failure of transportation. Warning to industrial users to safeguard; against this was given yvesterday by the federal fuel distributor, who rec- ommended they purchase and store bituminous coal during the next two months, wuse the railroad facili-} ties for transportation will be taxed| later. The general situation this both regarding anthracite and bitumi- radically different from last Usually during this sea- son the operators and the retailers have been accumulating stocks. This year they have mno such stocks dc- cumulated. because the consumers have been nrofiting by last year's ex- perience and by the advice of The federal fuel distributor and putting the coal in their cellars as fast as it could be hauled from the mines. year, coal, r nous Orders Flood Dealers. flurry has accentuated and all distributing ing flooded with orders. | + the anthracite fields is at a pretty uniform rate and is “above the records,” the fed- eral distributor finds. During July the production will not be as great as during May and June, he explain because of two holidays, one patriotic and one religious. Again, August has four religious holidays which are pretty¥ generally observed by the for- eigners in the mines, and their effect on distribution il be noticeable. But after that distribution ought to be equal to supplying all réusonable requirements before winter.

The anthracite report will be pub- lished tomorrow. The operators and miners in the anthracite field have gone into conference at Atlantic City. The miners have submitted their de- mand for an increase of 20 per cent in wages. Undoubtedly there will be long-drawn-out . negotiations over these demands before & final settle- ment is reached. One of the outstariding develop- ments in the situation is the demands are outspoken for socialistic regula- tion of the industry. This situation in the anthracite in- dust President Lewls of the miners is claimed as a conservative. The struggle between the conserva- tives and the radical elements in the Dresent anthracite negotlations will be hard fought, but it is the bellef of those in closest touch with the prob- lem that the conservatives will domi- nate. Here gain it s belleved that the industry will have to go through a long period of negotiation to ad- Just differences. National Strike Move. Then too, of major importance at the Atlantic City conference will cofne an attempt of the union miners to fix ‘the date of explration of the agreement on the same date as the bituminous ugreement expires—so that a national strike would be pos- sible, The anthraclte agreement expires on August 31, this year, and the bi- tuminous on April 1, 1924. A strong effort will be made by the anthracite leaders to have the agreements ex- pire on the same date, say April 1, 1925 qr 1926, so that a natlonal strike could be accomplished, Including both the anthracite and bituminous fields, as happened in 1922, when control in both fields expired on April 1. If the anthracite people cannot make the date April 1 it js a foregone con- clusion that the bituminous people, when they convene, will endeavor to agree upon the same date as that tixed by the anthracite people. Due for Comment. In the report of the cqal commis- | sion, which is coming out\tomorrow, this' proposed identical date fixing will receive vigorous comment, cording to rellable reports. The bituminous control does not expire until April 1, 1924, so there is really no worry over the bitumi- rous situation and very little like lihood that there will be any short- age of industrial coal: The only dif- ficulty will be due to transportation shortage. Those who have closely apalyzed the bituminous eituation find that yreduction has fallen off about 10 per cent and the market Is soft Many districts are said o be work- ing without any profit. E v one 1s waiting for the coal commission to develop something. While the coal commiseion’s anthracite report comes out tomorrow, their bituminous re- port is not 'due until September. Nothing much in the way of de- velopment of policies or showing of hands by the miners or operators is ed until this report of the on is made. LORD ASKS ALIMONY GIVEN TO HUSBANDS Says Equality of Sexes Should Allow Injured Men to Recover. ac- | BY the Associated Press. LONDON, July 7.—Alimony for in- jured husbands—if there Is to be equality between the sexes—was urged before the house of lords by Lord Birkenhead during a debate on the second reading of a blll which would ‘allow English women to ob- tain divorces on the single ground of misconduct. Lord Birkenhead criticized the bill as unfair to the males, and said that the tables were turned now. He did not see why the husband should be made to support the wife after di- vorce, or why guilty wives, “rich in this world's goods,” were not made to support_their husbands. Lord Parmoor caused a sensation by saying that the high-minded women of England did not want divorce laws. This caused Lord Buckmaster, who introduced the measure, to jump to his feet with the retort that there were plenty of the best English wom- en who had been glad to take ad- vantage of the divorce code.

LONDON, July 7.—Attracting little attention \because of its coming at the same time as the' Anglo-French crisis_‘on the general reparations question is a conference wKich seeks to iron out another problem full of explosive possibilities, in which Spain as well as England and France is concerned. Meeting in the British foreign office all week, the confer- ence Is. made up of such experts as Arhold Rabertson for England, De Beau Marchals for France and Lopez Roberts for Spain. The object of the gathering is to find a common basis on which a full diplomatic con- ference may be held later to discuss the status of the Moroccan port, Tangler. This question, which has been side- tracked time and again, has now reached a point where it is recog- nized that there must be a settle- ment unless grave risks are to be run of a war cropping out. There is a direct clash of views regarding the future of the port between France ;and pain, both of whom lay more of less direct claim thereto, ani, while England raises no such claim. her interests are divergent from those of both countries. Suffers “Diplomatic Curse.” Situated on the southern side of the Atlantic at the entrance to the strait of Gibraltar, Tangler should be one of the first ports of the world, but, as a matter of fact, not a single breakwater has been built to turn the commanding geographical posi- tion to account. For a period of at least twenty years Tangier has been suftering from what is described as a sort of diplomatic curse. The bone_of contention between France and Spain c: ® into existence when the former dbuntry began to extend its influence in Morocco, where Spain had preceded her as a colony. The same time England and Germany were claiming special interests. Tan- gler was consequently declared auton- omous, under the control of the local diplomatic corps, aided by the muni- cipality. mittedly was provisional, has been to block entirely all development of the port. The chance of a lasting settlement seemed to have come after the war, when Germany's influence was eliminated, and there was talk | of an agreement whereby Gibraltar would be returned to Spain, England taking Ceuta, on the African side of the straits and Tangler being con- ceded to France. French Concession. No action was taken, however, un- til France a couple of years ago brought the question to a head by causing the Sultan of the French pro- tectorate of Morocco, who Is the titu- lar ruler of Tangler, 1o issue a pro lamation granting a French company the concession for the development of the port. Here followed a long diplomatic controversy between Eng- [1and ‘and France, the end of which be- ing that last fall France decided to {abandon the project. In the mean- ltime Spain has been pressing for a settlement, due to the hecessity of impressing public opinion, which has been disturbed by the costly but in- conclusive fighting in an attempt to suppress a revolt among tribesmen in_the Spanish zone of Morocco. Tangier was one of the subjects discussed in London between Poincare and Lloyd George last summer, and it was then decided that a tripartite conference should be held immedi- ately. It is characteristic of the whole diplomatic handling that the conference should assemble just no a year late, Commercially Fran Interests predominate in Tangier. The French control 95 per cent of the real estate, almost all the banks and at Teast half the commerce. The Spanish colony, however, is - numerically stronger than the French. England, aside from her commercial interests, defends at Tangler her traditional pol- ley of controlling the straits, with | Gibraltar facing Tangler as a sym- ol. ~ The position of Spain in_ the con- | troversy is most clearly defined of the three. The Spanish government flatly claims that Tangler should be incorporated within the Spanish zone of Morocco—although strong se tions of Spanish opinion favor cut- ting losses occasioned by the whole attempt to maintain hoM on the north coast of Africa. France opposes this, but professes she would be ready to accept an international regime, so long as it! recognized the sultan's right as re- gards the police concessions, so as to prevent Tangler from'becoming the refuge of all agitators in Morocco. The objection to this ar- rangement is that it would give France, in the long run, the pre- dominant position in the port. France fears the disorder from tribesmen in the Spanish zone may spread to her own protedtorate, and claims the task of keeping order should be Intrusted to more com- petent handling. The situation is further complicated by the bad rela. tions existing between France and Spain, aggravated at the present time by a fierce tariff war. Although the vounger school of English strategists doubts the Value of such bases, Britain main- tains the attitude that she can not allow a rival to Gibraltar to arise on the opposite shore of the straits. The best argument In favor of a set- tlement of the difficult problems is the grave consequences which are almost certain to arise if they re. main unsettled. (Copyright, 1925, APARTMENT LOOTED.

MOSCOW, Russla, June 15.—Leonld Krassin, the able and liberal head of the soviet commissariat of forelgn trade, declared during his recent visit to London that there was a large fleld of usefulneds for American cap- ital'in-Russia in exploiting the innu- merable natural ' treasures of the country. . For two years the Russian govern- ment ‘has been inviting, largely In vain, the co-operation of forelgn cap- tains of industry. It points out tha: Russla is the richest undeveloped lan in the world. It probably has more virgin riches than all the rest of the world put together. The known min- eral resources are colossal. Most of this potential wealth lies fallo American business men and capi- talists know all about this. So,do British. They are both eager. for openings abroad. Yet two years after the invitation of the soviet govern- ment the foreign concesslons operat- | ing in Russia can be counted on the fingers of two pairs of hands. In all, twenty-nine concessions have been granted, but many of these are still in the preliminary stages. Two of the concessions relate to cable services, four are for settlements on land of special religious or’ other groups and several are for exporting Russian goods. Those that deal with the development of Russla’s natural wealth are pitifully few, Big Harvester Factory. The International Harvester Cor poration has recovered its big fac tory outside of Moscow, but the ef- fort to operate it has not been—to put it mildly—a marked success. An American soclalist—Dr. Hamer—ob- tained, thanks to his friendship. with Lenin, a. concession of some asbestos lands’ in the Urals. His concession also has an omnibus clause which permits_his company, the American | Allied Corporation, to trade in”other things. It started importing cheap American automobiles, and assem- bling plants and service depots were | to have been opened. Suddenly the, overnment prohibited the importa- tion of these cars dn the ground that it wisned to foster Russian industry. Last autumn Sydney Hillman, the American Garment Workers Unlon | leader, obtained a concession under which’ a company, promoted and finan®d by American labor, was to bring light and leadership 'to Rus- slan talloring, and incidentally to make handsome profits. Mr. Hillman anticipated great things. We have yet to see any sign of them here. The story of the Kuzbas concession is one of the t curious of all. A number of American socialists, large- ly I. W. W.'s, were seized with the ideu of ‘establishing a Utopla in Si- beria, where they should be free from the dictation of the hated capitalist. Bill Haywood obtained what was thought to be a great mineral con- cession at Kemerovo. “Four hundred and sixty persons came over at their own cost, most of them subscribing from $1.000 to $2.000. Some of them were organizers and engineers who had done good, responsible work in America. Most were husky young me- chanics.” Their colony was to have been autonomous. Many Return. All their ‘dreams have vanished. | Many of the colony have returned to America. Others would like to re- turn. The concession was found to be | different from what was expected; the | autonomy disappeare democratic § control vanished. The colonists are today working for wages—Rugsian wages—and have no more voice or control than they would Pennsylvania mine. The one American group that seems to be working happily is the Interna- tional Barsedall Corporation, which | has obtained a considerable conces sion for operating oil fields on share: in co-operation with the Russian gov ernment, in the Baku field. This cor- poration is as yet in the preliminary | stages of its work. These remarks do not apply to the | Far Eastern Republic. For some time, | up to late last vear, eastern Siberia had a separate administration, with a popular assembly and a capital at Chita. The Chita government was di- rect and business-like. It granted for- | elgners many rights, the most famous of these being the big concession of the Sinclair d%l group in northern Sakhalin. American and other busi- ness men from Chita speak in high terms of the opportunities there, and of the facilities given to them. The Far Eastern Republic has now been absorbed by soviet Russia, and it is not vet quite clear what ' difference this will make. But its government that was liberal to foreigners was closely controlled by Moscow, so there is hope that the door may remain open. Germans Find Dificulty. In Russia itself other countries have not done much better than the United States or Great Britain, When Russia and Germany formed their close alllance it was thought that Germany would flood the Russian field.

One-seventh of i the Duke'of Cumberland—said to be the Krupps have a grant of 40,000 acres’ in the Don basin, and have enlisted English capital to work it. There are several German trading companies. ‘The Scandinavians have obtained some rights, mainly {n fishing and timber. One of the twenty-nine concessions is for the exportation of sausage cas ings, another is for seed ralsing. Compared wiia what might have been expected, the list is miserably and surprisingly poor. What are the causes?. They are twofold. First, most of the men who are running Russla today are not bu ness men and do not know how to handle business. There are exceptions, like Kamenev and Krassin, but they are few. The government relies on experts. Great firms send their representat tives to Moscow to negotiate. They find themselves held up at every point by all kind of del Bustness is wrapped in red tape. There are many departments to be donsulted, and each has some fresh provision to make, A business man, after long negotiations, will settle’ a basls of agreement, - When the contract is presented to him he will find fresh clauses introduced that entirely alter the transaction. Politics plays Its part. The most notable example of this is the wreck of the big Urquhart negotiations, caused by resentment among the commissars against some liwe of policy Great Britain had adopt- ed. Teat Capital's Comsclence. More than one foreigu visitor has tried recently to convince the commun- ist leaders that if they hope for fresh foreign capital to come in they must compensate the old investors and busi- {ness men whose enterprises were de- troyed or expropriated during the revo- lution. At first the bolshevists laughed at this, “Show the money bags a chance to make more money and he will care nothing about who suffered in the past,” they said. “Capital has no con- sciene.” " But gradually they are realiz- ing that capital will not always jump for an immediate profit. The question of compensation for old forelgn investors is more and more coming within the fleld of practical politics. Krassin openty advocated it before the last con- ference of the Russian communist party. The Russian government is going to be more and more a buver of forelgn manufacture: The good Warvest this vear will giv t funds, and these funds will be spent largely an machinery and equipmeny. ©One pofnt that has made foreigners hesitate to come in has been that ing to some interpretatinos, gives the state power to cancel any con- est. I doubt how far the code gives | this power. Here are the two clauses | to which main objection is taken: Art. 30. Transactions against the law or In infringement of the law are invalld, as well as transactions defi- nitely obnoxious to the state. Art. 33. When a person under ex- treme need enters into an unprofit- able agreement the court is entitled, upon the request of the plaintiff or of respective state and social organiza. tions, to declare the transaction i valld or to cancel its future validity. Russian trade is going to revive. Russfan natural wealth will be more the earth’s surface cannot long re- main fallow; 130,000,000 people can- not forever keep or be kept outside the world market. —_— RICH SILVER TREASURES . TO GO UNDER HAMMER of Cumberland to Guelfs Collection For Sale. By_the Associated Préss BERLIN, July 7.—Great interest has been aroused in Germany by the recent announcement from Gmunden, Austria, that _the Guelfs silver treasures held by Duke Offer most_valuable silver collection in the world—Is to be sold. The seventy-elght-year-old duke is a son of the last king of Hanover, George . who died an exile In Paris in 18 He is also the father-in-law of Victor} Louise, the Prussian princess, the only daughter of Wilhelm II, former kaiser, now an exile in Holland. The duke has the title of a royal prince of Britain and TIreland. The house of Cumberland assembled two valuable collections of treasures, one of which, the Guelfs fund, played a prominent role in the struggle between the Hohenzollern and Hanoverian dynas- ties when Hanover died with Austria in the Austro-Prussian war of 1866. This collection comprised churchly posses- lloln! and are not involved In the present sale. In the other collection, part of which is now going under the hammer, are works of art by English, French and German sllversmiths of the period from 1560 to 1580. The Austrian government protested against the sale on the ground that it is likely to involve a violation of the federal law prohlhiting art treas- ures leaving the country. The duke thereupon explained that he was selling only articles of practical value, such as table services, cutlery, cups, vases and luxurfous silver chairs and tables. The gurticles to be sold have an esti- mated’ value of two billion Austrian kronen. —_— Twenty-nine different nationalities 'Fhe Hamburg-America line got a shipping concession.

Another witness, “Jim" Viers, who said he joined the march on the union side, brought into court a can- vas sack partly filled with rifie shells, which he testified was the same sack and contents which Blizzard handed him at Blair during the march.
