PRICE OF COAL TO Be REDUCED
CUT OF 81 TO $1.15 PER TON AT
MINES AGREED ON.
New Rates to Be Effective July and
Further Decreases in Price Are
Seen-operators Take Action.

Washington, June 29.-An immedi.
ate general reduction of 81 to $3.50 a
ton in the price of coal at the mine
has been agred upon here by repre-.
sentatives of the coal operators.
This reduction is expected to be fol.
lowed by still further decreases in
price after investigation into the costs
of mining coal and it is probable that
the government will be given a still
lower price than the general public.
Millions of dollars will be saved to
the American people through this de-.
cision.
The operators agreed to the immedi.
ate reduction at a meeting here after
adopting a resolution by which coal
prices would be fixed with the aid and
approval of the Secretary of the In
terror, the Federal Trade commission
and the commission on coal produc.
ton of the National Defense council.
AS soon as this resolution was
agreed to another one was presented
under which it was proposed that the
government authorize the government
representatives named in the resolu.
ton to issue statement forthwith
fixing tentative price which, in their
judgment, shall be a fair and reason
able one for the various districts and
to be effective from July / until the
committee shall fix permanent price.

OD0 NO FIGHTING FOR WEEKS
PERsHING's MEN NOT TO GO TO
TRENCHES NOW.
Plans Closely Guarded-vast Problems
Yet to Be Worked out-France
Shown Friend is At Hand.

Washington, June 30-Complete re-
ports from Major General Pershing
upon the landing of his first expedi-
ton in France are still lacking and
the War department remains silent.
The delay may be accounted for by
the report that General Pershing had
not personally visited the American
encampment.
At the Navy department reports are
awaited from the commander of the
convoy that accomplished without
marring incident, so far as known, one
of the greatest tasks ever assigned
naval force.
There is much discussion as to when
the American forces will take over a
part of the great battle line in France.
Plans Closely Guarded.
Whatever plans have been made in
this regard are closely guarded. No
official of any branch of the govern
ment would admit having any knowl-
edge on the subject.
In general way, however, it is
known that considerable period must
elapse before they can be thrown for
ward into the trenches. Vast prob
lens of strategic campaigns, of politi-
cal effects to be sought and of supply
and supply lines must be worked out.
The men, fresh from the tropics or
from the Mexican border must be care.
fully acclimated to prevent sickness.
Admittedly the main purpose of
sending the force in the brief period
that was allowed to make ready and
get them across was political.
Friend Is At Hand,
It is understood to be the sentiment
al rather than practical arguments ad-
vanced by members of the French and
British commissions which Influenced
the Washington government in dis.
patching General Pershing and his
men.

Washington, July 2-Braxils navy

lean feet in South American waters in
hunting down German sea raiders and
watching for German submarines.
Sending of special diplomatic mis-
sion to Brazil to arrange for greater
coordination of forces and the closest
possible cooperation of the two gov.

Without formal declaration of war,
Brazil thus probably has joined the
United States against Germany. Co.
incident with the Inauguration of Bra.

tecting her merchant ships in their
voyages to allied ports with frozen
meats and other foodstuffs, has been
put into effect.
Whether Brazil will supplement her
action by formal declaration of war
is not known here and by some Of.
ficials such action is regarded as doubt.
ful.
Action Held Defensive.
The government at Rio de Janeiro is
inclined to regard it's action rather de.
fensive than aggressive.
For the present it is believed Bra.
zil's part will be adequately done if
she contributes to the safety of south.
ern seas and to the movement to Eur.
ope of foodstuffs.
BraZil's navy is the LARGEST of the
South American group and in connec.
ton with the American fleet command.
ed by Admiral Caperton. it is believed
the work of keeping the South Allan.
tic clear of enemy craft will be greatly
facilitated.
Won't Patrol Argentine Waters.
1t is not the intention of the Brazil
ian government at present to use its
navy in patrolling water off Argen.
tina, but that feature, it is believed
will not weaken materially the scheme
OF ocean sweeping, since the long field
of operations off the coast of Brazil
comprises the more important sector
of southern operations.
Argentina May Act.
Hope is still felt at the State de.
partment that the Argentine govern.
ment yet may join the war for world
democracy. This was indicated by dis.
patches from Buenos Aires, which say
it is regarded by some there as mere
ly question of time before Argen-
tina will adopt course similar to that
of Brazil.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BODY
FINDS CARRIERS SHOW SUB
STANTiAL AND INCREASING
FINANCIAL PROSPERITY.
SLIGHT RELIEF GRANTED
TO EASTERN RAILROADS
Horizontal Raise Of Fifteen Per Cent
Is Found Not Justified-Western
and Southern Roads Turned
Down-CoaI, Coke and Iron
Rate Increases Allowed.

Washington, July 2.-The Inter.
state Commerce commission has de-.
MED the plea of the railroads of the
United States for horizontal increase
of Is per cent in freight rates.
In it's decision the commission in.
Dictated its willingness to increase
class rates in the eastern district ap-
proximately IA per cent. Since about
one-fourth of the freight handled is
moved under class rates, the decision
virtually allows the eastern lines about
4 per cent increase in gross freight
revenue. Increases sought in rates on
coal, coke and iron ore will be granted.
The commission found, as result
of extended hearings, that the car
riers generally showed substantial
and increasing financial prosperity and
that they had ample resources with
which to conduct transportation.
Little Sympathy for Roads.
Little sympathy was given the ar.
guments of the roads that they we're
victims of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have profited
by the mobilization of troops.
The commission finds that the
gloomy forecasts of jeopardized in
comes seen by railroad officials early
in 1917 have not been borne out by the
figures available for later months. The
proceedings were brought in March
when the returns for February was
one of the worst months in railroad
history. The subsequent months have
shown increasing revenues, while ex-
penses have in many cases failed to
amount to the extent the carriers Off
Gals feared.
Comparison With Best Year.
The decision points out that the car
riers' comparisons have been made
largely with those of 1916, which was
the banner year in railroad earnings,
and adds that the 1917 income might
be considerably diminished without
necessarily indicating a danger point
in earnings. Commissioner Harlan in
concurring statement declared that
should the next few months show that
the railroad mems fears were we'll
founded, the commission would be
ready to grant relief. He also made a
plea for better equipment and service.
Rates Authorized.
The commission authorized the fol-
lowing raises in class rates for points
north of the Ohio, east of the Missis.
sippi-First class from 1873 to 80; sec.
ond class from 6S.3 to 20; third class
from 52.5 to 60; fourth class from 1858
to AZ; fifth class, 31.25 to SO; sixth
class, 1858 to 30 cents per hundred
pounds.
The commission found in general
that the effects of the Adamson eight
hour basic day and of the increased
cost of fuel, supplies and materials
had not affected the southern and
western carriers as greatly as it af.
fected the eastern carriers.
