CURTA|L PROFITS
Reduction in Coal Prices No
Saving to Consumer if Pro-
duCtion is Decreased.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. %
There are still two big questions in
the coal situation in Indiana today
whether the prices fixed by the pres
ident will curtail production and
tail their profits.
One Indianapolis retailer is au-
thority for the statement that In
dianapOlis people will get no appre-
ciable reduction in coal prices. He
figured the price OF prepared coal at
the mine at $3.50 a ton, as fixed by
the president. He added a profit of
20 cents for the wholesaler, 55 cents
for freight, a retailers profit Of APP.
proximately 90 cents. and a delivery
charge Of approximately S1.75 a ton,
making the total cost $500. The
same coal now sells at 1925.
Gov Goodrich, however. is on rec
ord as saying that the price reduc-
tions must reach the ultimate con-
sumner in Indiana. and he stands
ready TO call the legislature into ses-
sion 20 regulate the coal trade with
in the state unless the consumer is
given the benefit OF the reductions.
Some operators and labor leaders
fear that the prices fixed by the
president will make impossible fur
Their increases in wages for miners
and Will cause operators TO hesitate
TO increase the production OF coal.
VIII H. Hays. chairman OF the
state council OF defense, announces
that the coal committee Of the coun-
ell will take up these problems inn
mediately.
II. r. Kurrie. president Of the
Monon railroad, and a member OF
the council. declares that the prob
lem OF production will become more
serious than the question OF price.
He said there were indications that
there would be a genuine coal short
age in a short time.
Gov. Goodrich advises consumers
10 lay in their winter supply OF coal
as soon as they are given the benefit
OF the government prices.

THE DECLINE, OF RUSSIA

No government can hope to be successful whose first official act IS one of treaChery to the friends of the nation whom 1t seeks to govern That the Bosheviki government of Russia is finding this out is indicated by the dispatches received from Russia.
 From these dispatches 1t is clearly evi- dent that the new administration has so far failed to accomplish anything except start peace negotiations with Germany and it seems to be more than suspicion that this Is all that 1t was expected to accomplish by its originators, whoever they may be or may represent
 Prior to the latest revolution, Russian affairs were greatly disorganized, but slowly a system was being evolved by the provisional government which, with the assistance of Am erica and the entente allies would have in a few months again put the country back on the highrOad to industrial soundness and the happiness derived from prosperity and just methods of procedure The hope of any out side assistance IS hopeless as long as the present element shall remain in power, and this element is rapidly proving that it can accomplish very little for the relief of seri- Ous economic conditions.
 The country is declared to be on the verge of civil warfare of the bltterest nature. It seems to be likely that Russia has exchanged war abroad and peace at home for peace abroad and war at home. With large pro portion of the civilian population as we'll as the armies facing actual famine, unless i'm mediate and effective relief is given, the Bol- sheviks are certain to face revolution which will be nationwide No people, however, patient and ong-suffering they may be, are going to starve without protest.
 For the present Russian government, there is nothing save the strongest condem- naton but for the Russian people the world feels more of pity that they should be so misIed, and sympathy for their sufferings, then of anger because of their attitude. It is indeed regrettable that some leader strong enough to weld the mass of her population into a comprehensive unit has not arisen in Russia.
