COAL DEALERS AGAIN
SHARPLY REGULATED

tsv noss,se JovsshL SPECIAL Lstsso WING,
Washington, Nov. 16.--Coal dealers
from the operator to the retailer are
prohibited from selling coal at prices
subject to revision, by an order issued
today to Fuel Administrator Garfield.
Heretofore producers have been per-
mitted to sell their fuel at prices fix-
ed by the government with stipula-
tioin that the price might be revised
IL the government-fixed prices were
changed.
Under this arrangement. prices were
made subject to revision from the
operator to the jobber and from the
iobber to the retailer The retailer,
however, usually found it difficult to
collect any difference from the con-
sumdl after the coal had been sold
and today's order is designed to elm
mate this and other difficulties which
the plan entailed. II becomes effective
immediately.

Frank A, VanderIip and Paul

Interstate Commerce Com
mission as Experts,
CONFIDENCE NECESSARY
TO SECURE FINANCES
Either Freight Rates Must Go
Higher or Government Own
ership Must Be ReSorted to.
as Other Alternative,


Washington, Nov 16.-Frank A.
Vanderlip, New York banker and
chairman of the governments war
savings committee, and Paul NJ. War
burg, vice governor of the federal re-
serve board, called by the Interstate
Commerce commission today as eX-
pert witnesses in the Is per cent ad-
vance rate case. testified that radical
action was necessary to remedy the
railroad financial situation.
Mr.. Vanderlip was of the opinion
that the proposed rate increases only
touched the surface of the situation,
while Mr.. Warburg declared that it
should be granted; it's effect from a
psychological standpoint in restoring
confidence among investors would be
la greater advantage than the imme-
diate monetary gain it might mean to
the roads.
Must Restore Confidence.
One of two things must he done to
meet the situation, either the govern
ment must acquire ownership of the
railroads or some action must be TAX
er to restore confidence in their Sc
curities, said Mr.. Vanderlip Granting
the increase the roads require, he in
sisted, would act only as poultice
and not effect real cure.
In their arguments for the increase,
Mr.. Vanderlip said, railroad men
themselves failed to see below the sur
face and view what he believed to be
fundamentally wronE--the effort to
force the two regulatory principles,
prevention Of combinations and fix
Ing Of rates. TO work smoothly to-
gether
Either one may be all right, but
not both. together" he declared. las
long as rates are regulated the rail-
roads should have the right to form
combinations"
Conditions Critical.
Mr.. Vanderlip added that the rail-
roads faced expenditures of one billion
dollars annually to maintain their
property and that this must come
from the investor and, whatever we
may think, the investor must have
confidence"
Mr.. Warburg maintained that rail-
road stocks had reached such u stage
that the only method of obtaining
money was through bond issues which
could not be made on n satisfactory
basis now
1t had been testified in the hearing
that the railroads showed increased
earnings recently and the property
geenrally was in good condition. and
when this was called to Mr.. Warburg's g
attention with the question as to why
no believed there was lack OF conf
dence among the investors, he said.
the investors were looking to the fu-
ture."
If the public does not feel the rail-
roads are receiving generous treat
ment," he added, "the money will be
withheld"

ITALIANS HOLDING
ENEMY ON THE PIANE

The situation in Russia is still
clouded by uncertainty owing to in
terrupted communication with Pet
rograd, where, at last reports, the
Bolsheviki faction was in control and
fighting was in progress in the streets
A belated dispatch to the Assoclat-
cd Press, sent from Petrograd last
Wednesday morning, reiterates that
the forces of Alexander Kerensky,
premier of the provisional Russian
government, met with defeat at the
hands of the Bolsheviki south of Pet
rograd while endeavoring to march
up Tsarskoe Selo and were compelled
TO retreat back to Gatchina, whence
they started for the attack.
Dispatches Tell Little.
A more belated communication
dispatched from Petrograd last Tues
day--contained moro hopeful news
concerning Kiev, where 1t was said
the Cossacks and military cadets had
gained control of the city after con
siderable fighting, during which the
leaders of the recalcitrants were ar
rested. Moscow, however, was partly
in the hands of the government troops
and partly under the control of the
Bolsheviki-the government contin-
gents holding the central. portion of
.he city and the Bolsheviki It's en-
virons. The casualties in MOSCOW as
the result of street fighting were esti-
mated at from 700 to 1000.
Italian Resistance Strong.
On the Italian front, which is the
only theater in the world war where
intensive fighting is in progress, the
Italians daily continue to stiffen their
front from the region of Lake Garda
TO the Adriatic sea. Nowhere have
the Teutonic allies been able to pene-
trate their front for new gains OF
great importance. On the other hand
their attacks have met with fierce re-
sistanee and ultimate repulse, except
in the north where the town of Cis-
mon. on the east bank of the Brenta
river, and several hill positions have
been taken by the invaders
All along the Piave furious artil-
lery action is in progress and ltalian
airplanes again have come into the

Country Inundated.
To the south, near the mouth of
tho piaye. in the region known as the
"Holland of Italy" Italian engineers
have opened dikes against the enemy
forces which crossed the stream at
Grisolera, who possibly have been
trapped by the in-rush of the water.
THE inundation will make harder the
task of the enemy in bringing UP guns
with which to shell Venice from the

Plan-Urges Minimum Wage.

That the s and 10 per cent graded in

employees were impractical and unscien-
tilc. was the statement OF Representa-
tive John i. Nolan. father of the s3-a-day
minimum wage bill, before the Anthony
League. 1925 Rhode Island avenue north
west, last night
The California Representative declared
that there WAS a lack of equity in
graded increase that gave the man get
ting 500 year only $50 increase annually.
and the man getting s1,soo a year, $50
annually.
Il am grateful that Congress has recog-
nized the needs of the government en-
ploy even to this txtent, but I am of
the opinion that the S-a-day minimum
wage is practical and will give real aid
where aid is needed he said.
Representative Nolan told of the hard
ships and suffering that had been brought
to his attention through letters from Fed
eral employees and by personal observa-
ton. He said that when he first asked
consideration for his bill 1t was oon-
sidered radical and pointed toward social
ism. but that conditions had made It evi-
dent that it was genuine progressive leg
islation for the poorer paid government
employe. He predicted that the Nolan
bill Will be enacted into law within
