NATIONS COAL
PRICES FIXED

TO BRING FROM S1.05
TO &e.6J
LIBERAL TO OPERATORS
Prices Under $500 Agreement Yet
Far Above Any of Recent
Times.

Washington. Aug 21.-Bituminous
coal prices were fixed by President
Wilson tonight for every mine in the
United States. The next step In coal
control. White House announce
ment said, will be to fix the prices to
be charged by middlemen and re-
tailers.
Prices were set on cost of produc-
ton. estimates furnished by the Fed
.eral Trade Commission after months
of exhaustive investigation. The
country is divided into twenty-nine
districts and every producer in dis
trict will market his output at the
same price.
The President named no agency to
carry out the provisions of his order,
but is expected to appoint soon a
coal administrator who will be CIV
try. Rumor tonight named Presi-
dent II. A. Garfield, of Williams Col
lege, as the man. Mr.. Garfield now
heads a committee named by the
President to fix a Government price
for wheat His work will end before
September /, when the Wheat Com
mittee probably will be dissolved.
Average Close To 81.
The prices named for run of mine
coal in the large producing districts
average slightly more than So. In
few districts they are below that fig
ure and in the Western territory
they are higher Washington State
is highest with 1925.
The Presidents statement said:
'The following scale of prices is
prescribed for bituminous coal at the
mine in the several coal producing
districts. II is provisional only. 1t
is subject to reconsideration when
the whole method OF administering
the fuel supplies of the country shall
have been satisfactorily organized
and put into operation. Subsequent
measures will have as their object
a fair and equitable control of the
distribution of the supply and Of
the prices not only at the mines, but
also in the hands of the middlemen
and retailers.
THE prices Professionally fixed
here are fixed by me under the pro-
visions of the recent act of Congress
regarding administering the food sup
ply of the country. which also con-
ferred upon the Executive control Of
the fuel supply. They are based up
on the actual cost of production and
are deemed to be not only fair and
just, but liberal as well. Under
them the industry should nowhere
lack stimulation.

Captain of Torpedoed Liner
Saved. From Capture,
Thanks America

Base of the American F1otilla in
British Waters, July % (By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The captain of a liner
recently torpedoed, from which 60
passengers and 80 members of the
crew were rescued by an American
destroyer, yesterday asked The Assoc
ciated Press to convey to the Ameri-
can people a. letter Of thanks and
heartfelt appreciation on behalf of
himself, the passengers and the crew
for the gallant rescue by the Ameri-
cans.
The captains letter follows:
ITO the American public: wish
to express through The Associated
Press on behalf of myself, the pas
sengers and crew our heartfelt thanks
and deepest gratitude for the gallant
rescue of all of us by Americans, woh
are fighting for humanity and civiliza-
ton.
But for the prompt appearance OF
the Americans I would now be a pris-

safety, and we wish to thank the great
American nation for the action which
made it possible-namely. the sending
of their gallant men into this grea1

The commander and men of the
American destroyer, who after the
rescue had refused a substantial purse
from the grateful passengers with the
statement that they were merely do

Upon their arrival here the pas

and gave repeated cheers for the

MILLION ALIENS
MUST FIGHT OR
Be ! EPoR1EO
(ContinuadE upm Page H.

\Cohtlnu "a f"se ~
Enemy aliens are not to be affected
by the resolution, nor subjects of
countries allied with Germany. But
men who have made the United States
their home without intending to be-
come citizens will be included in the
draft if the resolution is passed. Those
who are prevented by law -(such as
the Japanese and Chinese) from be-
coming citizens will still be included
among the aliens exempted from SER
vice.
AS the law reads at present all sub
jects of other nations are exempt
from service There are treaties with
some of these nations preventing the
drafting of their citizens, but in each
case the diplomatic representatives of
the countries affected must voice OBJ
lection to such a procedure. The citi-
zens themselves cannot object. So
far as can be learned, none of the
countries affected has objected.
The resolution provides for the de-
portation within 80 days Of aliens
who refuse to serve. Should any of
the Allied countries object to service
by their nationals residing here, it is
probable the nationals would be asked
to get out, and failing in that would
be put out. Going back to their own
country, their chances Of being called
for war service would be as great as
they are here.
Thus far it has been impossible to
calculate exactly how many aliens are
| included in the first call. It would
not be surprising If as many as 10
percent would be subject under the
| resolution of service.
