Price of Coal Detroit, Sept. 16, (By Associated Press)—As a protest against paying what he belleves to be exorbitant prices for coal and steel Henry Ford today began the process of closing up his huge industry With the suspension complete when the last shift of ‘workers leaves the various factories tonight approximate- |1y 100,000 men will have been ren- dered idle for an {indefinite period | The plants affected include the five factories in the Detroit area and nu- merous assembling stations through- out the country. Other concerns the output of which goes chiefly to the Ford Co., also are expected to suspend operations. In announcing the contemplated closing several weeks ago Mr. Ford declared no coal shortage existed, that | brokers were holding enough coal to supply the needs of the country and that the public was being ‘‘gouged” by the dealers. He also criticized | sovernment agencies for their method {of apportioning coal.

Chicagy, Sept. 16.—Home runs will be made more difficult under an out- fleld zoning system being prepared by President Ban Johnson of the Am- erican league for submission to the club owners this winter. Only those drives in the center field zone would count as home runs, under \John- son's plan and the parks with short right field fences would no longer be marks for the sluggers. Lines would be placed several hun- dred feet inside the right and left field foul lines and balls within those zones would count only as two or three baggers. The Polo Grounds, New York, both Philadelphia ball parks, the St. Louis park, the Cleveland fleld and the Chicago Cubs fleld are among the parks which would be most affected. The rules now specify 235 feet as the distance from home plate to the ifence and all the park fences ex- ceed that figure, but in the opinion of President Johnson and some of the club owners that distance is consid- ered far too short, as home runs have become common.

Portland, Ore., Sept. 16.—Race sui- cide was hit a double blow by the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in the approval by the house of bishops of a report of the commission on home and family life in which emphasis is placed up- on the duty of Christians to rear families and the adoption by the house of deputies of a new prayer in the marriage service which the house| of bishops proposes to insert in the| prayerbook and which has become | known in convention circles as an| “anti-race suicide prayer.” 1t fl-" lows: | “Bless, O God, we pray Thee the union of these, Thy servants, that it may be fruitful, according to Thy purposes and enable them to train in health of body and of soul the chil- dren whom Thou givest them, through Jesus Christ, Thy son, Our Lord, Amen HOPPELMAN MAY BUCK PAONESSA FOR OFFICE Hartford Man Said to Have Good Backing Locally for Comptroller Ex-State Senator H. P. Koppelman of Hartford, is favored by several members of the local delegation to the democratic state convention as nominee for the office of comptrol- ler ,and it is believed that New Brit- ain's support will go to Koppelman for that office. If Koppelman received the nom- ination, and those who are backing him say that this s almost a certain- ty, then Mayor A. M. Paonessa's chances for a place on the state ticket will be very slight. Those acquainted ' with the work- ings of political state conventions can recall but few instances of where two of the major offices were award- ed men living in the same county, it being considered better politics to spread the nominations about the state, thereby attracting the vote of all districts. Mr. Koppelman is one of the most prominent ment in New England Jewry. He has been connected with the Jewish drives of recent years and during the war was a four-minute speaker. His backers claim for him the ability to draw an enormous vote from what is ordinarily con- sidered the republican strength. The office for which Koppelman is being mentioned, that of conp- troller is the one which it is believed Mayor Paonessa is angling. He has made no announcement to that ef- fect, but persistent reports are that his original desire to land the nomin- ation for lleutenant-governor has been set aslde in favor of a nomination, for comptroller.

Hartford, Sept. 16.—The state fuel distribution confmission issued a let- ter to all retail coal dealers of the state today in which there were sev- eral important recommendations bearing upon the distribution of forthcoming shipments of anthracite coal to relieve the present shortage. Dealers were advised to make no de- liveries in excess of two tons, with one ton the more preferable amount, to make no deliveries prior to Novem- ber 1 to anyone but domestic con- sumers and others requiring it for cooking purposes, and third, to un- |1cad promptly every car carrying an- thracite coal ‘within 24 hours of its arrival at its destination. These three recommendations con- stitute the init{al attempt of the com- missfon to enlist the aid of the deal- ers in getting coal distributed prompt- ly and as evenly as possible. The purpose of the second ruling con- cerned with priority distribution is to cut off from domestic uses any build- ings which can use soft coal Re- garding the third recommendation, whenever fallure to unload shipments within the stated time is reported, the commission will request the anthra- cite advisory committee to suspend shipments to the offening dealers. Regarding price regulation the let- ter states that the commission ex- pects the dealers to do their best to maintain a fair retail price and states for immediate notification of any at- tempt on the part of producer and jobber to charge an unreasonable MANTHEY-WRONC Wedding Ceremony = Will Be Per- formed Monday at Home of Bride By Rev.

Portland, Me., Sept. 16.—Postmas- ter Gen. Work took a fling today at ‘vengeful, discredited and discharged postal employes” in addressing the postal convention of postal employes of the state of Maine. Such em- ployes, he said, were guided by a queer trait in human nature, and oc- casionally attacked individuals in the department in an effort to justify their separaticn from the service.” Thelr motives, however, he added, were so ‘“patent that they deceive no one."” The spirit of good fellowship brought into the postal system by for- mer Postmaster Gen. Hays, Mr. Work said, had established’a mutual con- fidence that could not be shaken by such “insidious attacks. Concerning attacks on the depart- ment recently by certaln “ctvil service reform organizations’ Postmaster Gen. Work declared that ‘‘no one familiar with the major principles of civil service would destroy it And no one friendly to it would stand in the way of its improvement or use its name in political campaigns to discredit the cause of a party of op- posite political faith to their own." The United States civil service commission, he added, was a non- partisan tribunal, an agent of the government and should not be con- fused, through similarity of names “with self constituted organizations which have no privilegés except that of free speech and no responsibility under the law for the administration of civil service.
