U.S. MAY SELL ALL COAL
New Plan Provides for Full Gov
eminent Control.
Halt In Production to Be Followed
by Seizure, Operators Are
Warned.

Washington. Nov. PA possibility
seen here Is eventual government pool
ing and selling Of all coal mined in the
United States In the fue administra-
lions approval of a producers pool
just formed at Cleveland which will
handle shipments of mines in Ohio,
West Virginia. a part of Pennsylvania
and perhaps Tennessee and Kentucky.
The creation of other pools will be
encouraged.
IL government pooling Is put into
effect it will be made operative aext
spring and will ~supersede the ship
pers' pools. Under such an arrange
ment the government would requisi.
ton at the mines the entire output of
coal. selling it without profit. Such
a plan was suggested by the Federal
Trade commission before the govern
ment took control of the coal indus
try. II, however. called not only for
government sale OF coal under a pool,
but for a system of paying producers
on a cost plus basis.
Advantages in a government pool
pointed out by officials would be that
distribution would be easier, since the
government itself would direct ship
and more efficient operation of
priority Of movement.

Would Be UnfriendIy Act.
Washington, Nov. 24.-Oficials of
this government regard the Bolshev-
Xxi move for an armistice between
Russia and her enemies and the OPEN
as an act that would place Russia al
most III the list of %unfriendly nations.
1t was pointed out that should these
negotiations be successful it would be
most difficult to deal with Russia as a
neutral country in view of the posi-
ton she has held as an ally of the
nations fighting Germany and the
marked advantage in the war that
such a course might give the latter
country.
Ambassador Francis has been given
no instructions to deal with the Boil

Leon Trotzky. the Bolsheviki foreign
minister. Trotsky emphatically de-
clared that the Soldiers and Work

arate peace with Germany. He voiced
his conviction that Russia's initiative
in offering peace would be supported
by the proletariat of all countries, Al

sible q continuation of the war even
