COAL QUESTION
TO Be DECIDED
Authorities Must Announce
Whether It Constitutes
Contriband Of War.
ts.re,.l ees.,.e.sp..er,

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Govern-
ment authorities here will be called
on in few days to make final and
decisive announcement as to whether
coal constitutes contraband Of war.
England has already announced the
cargoes which are to be subject to
"onfiscauon. The Cnited States su-
prelpe court in 1866 made ruling
which held that merchandise might
be divided into three classes: first, to
consist of articles primarily and or
dinarily Used for military purposes:
second, articles, which may be used
for either war or peace, according to
circumstances; third, articles used ex-
clusively for peaceful purposes.
The two articles. however. over
which there has always been dispute
are coal and provisions. The coal
supplies for battleships is of the ut
most importance and heretofore the
great part Of the coal for nations en-
gagged in war has been furnished by
England. Just now 1t is up to the
United States to make its decision. In
the past it has been the custom to
conf1scate both ships and cargo, but

WAR TO AID THE
GLASS PLANTS
Imports Are Shut Off and Do
mestic Producers Will Get
More Orders.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Aug. s-The
Glass Worker says the indications
are that the window glass trade will
show steady improvement in the i'm
mediate future. For several days the
demand for window glass was such
as to encourage the most interested.
but when the war came on the pre-
diction became almost a certainty.
Antwerp, the source of the greatest
imports in glass, and particularly
small size. was closed because Of the
war situation, and while there was
no immediate demand as result the
opinion was everywhere expressed
that it would not be long until the
principal importing interests would
be asking domestic producers to fill
their orders.
The officers OF the National Win
dow Glass Workers and the Window
Glass Cutters and FlatteEers' Associ-
alton will meet in Pittsburg August
Is, to confer further on the wage
scale for the coming fire. The Ma
tional Window Glass Workers and
the wage committee from the manu-
facturers will meet in Atlantic City
August Is, to clear up any points OF
difference they may have in regard
to the new wage.
Interest. of course, centers on the
Atlantic City conference, but there
was no one among workers or man
ufacturers who would venture date
when the entire question would be
closed and the industry ready for re-
sumption.
