H. Johnston of the City Coal and Wood company to a Herald reporter, and the greatest problem of the present time to the local dealers is that of labor. Must Unload Quickly. Mr. Johnston claims that it is es- sential that coal cars be wunloaded within 24 hours after they arrive in the city, and it has been very hard for local dealers to secure men to do this work and deliver to the homes as well. He believed that the men pre- fer working in the factory af ten cents more an hour and at work which is not as hard or requiring as much strength as that of delivering and shoveling coal. Supply Is Large Enough. Pt was also stated by Mr. Johnston that the people could have all of the coal they wanted if they would take whatever kind they could secure, but he claims they are particular, are used to a certain kind of coal and will use no other, If this was not true, Mr. Johnston claims, more coal could be sold by the dealers and still more could be purchased if the deal- ers were willing to pay high prices that are being asked at present ‘Watch Administrators. “There is no need to worry for some time to come,” the coal dealer said, “but the problem which s con- fronting us now is that of wondering what {s ahead of us and what the fed- eral as well as the state fuel distrib- utors are planning to do.” It has recently been learned that the first shipment of Chinese coal ever to reach the United States has just come in from the Far East in- voiced at $9 per ton.

Warren F. Cook, of Montclair, N. J., a former pastor of the church, | and a warm friend of the deceased, | will conduct the service. Mr. Bailey’'s history has been close- ! Iy connected with that of the I'nion Manufacturing company, where he had worked for 45 years last June, In 1877, when he was but 21 years of | age he entered the employ of that concern in the book-keeping depart- ment. The Union Manufacturing company at the time was a compara- tive infant business, employing oniy about 100 hands. As the business grew into its present size Mr. Bailey | progress®d in value as an employe and from inconspicuous beginning was holding the offices of treasurer and director when he died. In 1884 he first held an office as a member of the corporate family when he was elected secretary. He was made a director in 1887 and was cohsen treasurer in 1888.

The nationalists, however, insist upon their right to conduct military movements during the progress of the conference and also demand ad- mission to the meeting of all the allies of the Angora government including Russia, Persia and Bulgaria.

The violent epithets saild to have been used by Mustapha Kemal Pasha against the sultan in the course of talks with newspapermen have ca ed painful dismay in the palace. The sultan is reported as being in an en- tire state of collapse and all audiences ‘Washington, Sept. 26.—The cabinet at its meeting today decided to re- strict prohibition enforcement opera- tions within the three mile limit at gea except in cases where ships be- yond that limit are in communication with shore through their crews and small boats.

It was brought out in the cahinet discussion that in the recent case of the British vessel Grace and Ruby seized beyond the three mile limit| the courts held this vessel to have been within American territorial wa- ters since she was in touch with shore by means of her own small boats. The decision to restrict oper- ations of prohibition enforcement of- ficlals to similar cases beyond the three mile limit in future therefore was explained as in line with court's action.

Hamid asked pledges from the Brit- ish government that the positions around Chanak be not reinforced during progress of the negotiations. Bristol Will Not Attend. Rear Admiral Mark L.

PLAN FOR MILEAGE BOOKS which had marked his long career in politics and as a publisher. In his last speech in the senate, delivered only a week ago last Wednesday he severely criticized the administration for its course in connection with the rall strike situation. His previous attacks on the administration, and most notably his charges of illegal hangings in the American expedition- ary forces, the subject of exhaustive investigation by a senate committee, had made him a conspicuous figure in the senate body during his brief serv- ice there.

After being defeated on that ticket in the next two elections, he was nominated as the choice for vice- president of the St. Louis populist convention, which endorsed Willlam J. Bryan for president in 1896. Nominated for ‘president hy the people’s party in 1904 Senator Wat- son conducted an active campaign to revive the party.
