WILL Join THE FIGHT
Federation of Citizens ASso-
Citations for Transfers.
HAS BEEN FROM THE FIRST
President Clayton's Announcement.
Commissioners in Favor, But Will
Take No Action.
HAS BEEN FROM THE FIRST

The Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions will take up the fight for universal
transfers on the street railways in the
District of Columbia with vim this fall,
according to William Nick. Clayton,
president Of the federation, who has just
returned to Washington after an alb
sence of three months. The first meet
ing Of the federation will be held the
first Saturday In october.
The federation has taken part in the
fight for universal transfers since its
first organization" said Mr. Clayton TO
reporter for The Star last night. Il
have no doubt that the next session Of
Congress will see enacted law requir
ing the railways to interchange trans
fers. The House will pass such a bill
with comparatively little opposition. and
believe that the Senate will also pass
the bill. though the real fight on the
measure will probably come in that
body.
Up to Congress, Commissioners Say.
The District Commissioners. in a letter
TO Maj. George A. Armes, replying to a
request by him that they take up the
fight for universal transfers, state that
they will take no action at present. This
does not mean that they are opposed to
the universal transfer proposition.
In fact, they point out that they have
reported favorably on the universal
transfer bills introduced In Congress. The
matter is now UP to Congress, they say,
and further action by the Commissioners
is not contemplated
Maj. Armes sent TO the Commissioners
recently long communication urging
them to compel the railway companies
to issue universal transfers.
Maj. Armes' Appeal.
Prompt action on your part said Maj.
Armes, will produce good effect. not
only here. but all over the country and
induce thousands to come here to live |
challenge any one to show where a rail
way company has gone into bankruptcy
on account Of granting transfers."

Is Great Britain. The country had not
yet recovered from the disastrous effects
of the recent railway tie-up when
second strike was ordered on all the
Irish railroads.
Despite the systematic efforts of the
press and railway officials to minimize the
extent of the present disturbance, it is
evident that all southern Ireland is cut
off from communication and that there is
serious dislocation of traffic through
out the island.
An evidence of this condition is offered
by the Mauretania not making her usual
stop at Queenstown to take on mails, be-
cause as matter of fact no mails could
get to Queenstown.

COAL PRODUCTION LAST YEAR
BROKE ALL FORMER RECORD

For the first time in the history
of the United States, the coal mines
of the country in 1910 were credit
ed with an output exceeding half
billion short tons, the combined pro-
duction of anthracite, bituminous
coal, and Ignite having amounted to
5Ol % 6,S95 short tons, with a spot
value of S629, ,529,745. This great
output, cording to Edward w.
Parker, coal statistician of the
United States geological survey, was
attained in spite of the fact that
most of the mines in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Arkansas and Okla
homa We're closed for nearly six
months by one of the most bitterly
contested strikes in the history of
the industry. The heaviest tonnage
mined in any year previous to 1910
was in 1907, when a total OF 4S0,-
363, 424 snort tons was produced.
Compared with 1909" said Mr..
Parker the output in 1910 showed
an increase of 40,762,279 short tons
or SIS per cent. Prices generally
were little higher in 1910 than in
1909, the average for Pennsylvania
anthracite being S2.13 per long ton,
against 2.06 in 1909, and the aver
age for bituminous coal was SLIP
per short ton in 1910, against $1.U7
| in 1909. The total value increased
1880 per cent.
Except for the states affected by
the strike order, the increase in pro
duction was general among the more
important coal-producnig states
The output of anthracite in Penn
sylvania increased from S1,O7O,35!
short tons, valued at $149,1S1,5S
to S4.4S5.236 short tons, valued at
S160. ,302, gain OF 4.21 per
cent in quantity and IA per cent in
value. The bituminous production,
including semi-artha-cite, semi-bi-
luminous, camel, splint. and sub-bi-
luminous Goals, Ignite, and a small
quantity of antharcite from Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, increased
from 379.744.257 short tons. valued
at 5,4S6,777, to 1902, $50
short tons. valued at s469,2 ,254 4 ,443.
gain of 9.S3 per cent in quantity
and OF 1913 per cent in value.
THE total increase Of 4O.762,219
short tons in 1910 over 1909 was
equal to 30 per cent more than the
entire output of the United States in
1870 and more than half of the total
output in 1880.
"The largest increases in produc-
tion in 1910 were in the states that
benefited from the idleness in the
