amounting to 93,4sO tons In quantity
and $22S,S60 in value, was due entirely
to labor troubles among the miners.
and not to adverse trade conditions.
The principal disturbances were in

producing and coke-making county.
and resulted in decrease in coal pro-
duction OF nearly a million tons and
in the whole of the decrease in the
output of coke.
There are fifteen coke-making es.

ate 1858 ovens, all of the beehive
type. Six of the establishments, oper-

coking capacity of the state. No new
ovens were under construction at the
end Of the year.
According to returns made to the
Geological Survey, the average value
of Colorado coke advanced from 1918
ton in 1912 to 1920 in 1913. In 1911
the average was $3.50. These fluc-
tuations are, however, more apparent
than real. A large proportion Of the
coke produced in Colorado Is made in
ovens which are parts of plants, in
cluding in their operations coal min
ing, coke making and the manufacture
of iron and STEEL or the smelling and
refining of the precious and base met
ais. For such plants the placing OF
value on the coke produced is an ar
bitrary matter and does not represent
market prices. Only about thirty per
cent, of the total output Of Colorado In
1913 was commercial coke.

Denver.-Colorado is on the eve or
the greatest agricultural harvest in
its history. Crop conditions are al
most ten per cent better than they
have averaged for the past ten-year
period. which included number or
bumper years. Conditions in the coun-
try as whole are IA per cent better
than the tsn-year average. but condi-
tions in this state are almost s per
cent better than that. These facts
are shown in a general review Of crop
conditions issued by the bureau Of

conditions, range generally above the

The Republicans and the Progressives
have formally united in Nebraska in
the support of the same ticket. They
viii work for the same congressional
candidates and they expect to carry
all but one or two districts, If not
every one in the state. Nebraska
is especially out of tune with the pol
icy of the Wilson administration In
respect to the sugar tarif and the du-
ties on farm products, and the tide
is running strongly against Bryan's
party in his own state.
The harmony movement goes on
naturally and eonvincingly in many
states. 1t is general throughout
the country. There is every reason
for predicting its complete success
in more than enough districts TO give
the Republicans control of the next
house of representatives. 1t will work

number of states required to elect the

At the close of the conference, Sec

The conference was about the de
velopment and safeguarding of the
merchant marine, and every aspect of
the question was gone over.
1T was recognized that the present
emergency calls for prompt action to
relieve situation which can be re-
Iieved if action is promptly taken. 1t
was agreed that bill should be intro
duced in congress providing for the in
surance of war risks by the govern
ment.
In addition to the agreement of
opinion as TO the insurance bill there
was extended discussion of the best
means of Immediately providing ships
to carry the goods now waiting for
their markets. Several plans were
proposed and it was finally agreed that
bill should be drawn and introduced
at very early date which should pro-
vide for the purchase of an adequate
number of ships by the government
and their operation through corpora
