7h. prussian Government Wants to
Open SiIesian Coal Mines.

RerIin Feb THE PrusSian gov
eminent has inquired Of the group of
financial interests represented ny the
Dresdener Bank and bank for business
ana industry If if would be ditliclt to
raise loans sufficient to take over the
coal mines both of the henish-W West
phal liam and SiIeSian regions should the
government desire t" consider such a
project This inquiry put as it is I'M
derstoud by the ministry Of commerce,
was submitted to meeting Oh bahK-
ers, last week, as Il basis TOR discus
sion The sum of $250,00O.OOO was
named as Il rough estimate or the cost.
The bankers judgment was that any
government requirement could easily
be obtained. The government, it was
pointed out. had no difficulty III bor-
rowing four times as much with which
to nationalist the railways. In that
transaction the government borrowed
1t four per cent, afterwards convert
ing the transaction into three and
one half per cent. loan ana 1t had be-
sides the interest and allotmentS of the
sinking fund which made fine year
~ profit amounting III the last fiscal
year to $4,000. 600. The ministry of
commerce expressly limited its com
munication to the bankers to the mere
question OF possibility of raising the
amount of money needed. The govern
ment seemingly has two objects in view
first. To learn if the naturalization
Of the mines is really feasible and sec
0ndly. to show the mine owners what
might happen if the coal strike is not
settled. namely that the government
has means in reSerV" whereby it could
take the whole controversy out of tho
mandS of both tie owners and work
men. Chancellor Won RuclOW and Herr
Moeller minister Of commerce and in
duStrN, announced i'm the PruSSian diet
during lnc recent Hibernia mine dis
cuSSorS that the government had no
intention of taking over all the coal but
since then the situation has changed
ana the government seemingly is pre-
pairing for what is yet only Il some
what Instant contingency.
