at Door of Grasping Ope-
ratora@ ....
MORE COAL MINED THIS
YEAR THAN LAST
Remarkable. He Says. Although
Operators Would Not Re-
new Contracts, When New
Law Passed 1t Found Out
put Under Contract

washingto Oct f3.-The present
coal shortage is caused by the cam
paign for higher prices is the belief
of Senator Pomerene. Of Ohio, is ex-
pressed In an interview for the IN
ternational News Service today.
There is no real necessity for the
present serious coal shortage" he de-
clared. IT recognize that there Is
some failure In car supply and this
may be sufficient in certain localities
to cause some inconvenience.
"By the amendment to the COM
merce act passed during the recent
session of congress the interstate
commerce commission is. given fun
power over movement. distribution,
and return Of cars and the president
by another act is given power to direct
preferential shipments, So that II
proper representations are made
either to the International commerce
commission or to the priorities COM
mission, or to both. the car question
can be, and I have no doubt will be.
solved.
THE principal cause for the Goa
shortage is the campaign that is on
for higher prices. Witness few
facts. About 100000 tons more
coal was mined last year than the
year previous. In April, May and
June of this year there was produced
an average OF about 100000 tons
more per month than during the cor
responding months OF the year be-
fore. OF course the consumption for
Industrial purposes has been larger.
Prior to the passage OF the coal
law operators were refusing to re-
new contracts with their old custom
ers. They preferred to sell all spot
coal because they could get higher
prices. They advertised urging every
body to buy coal because It WAS said
prices would be higher later on. They
preserreT to sell conf rather than re-
new contracts II In weff-known
fact that for the most part contracts
are made yearly and expire April !
or July \. These contracts were not
being renewed prior to the passage
Of the law which was approved by
the president August 10. Since that
time most Of the coal operators say
the larger part OF their output has
been contracted for and they have no
more spot coal for sale 1t Is remark
able that the operators were not VIII
ing to renew contracts in June and
ruYy. but were advertising the sale
Of snot coal. And when the law was
passed and prices nxed by the presf-
lent nearly all the coal had been
contracted for. and there was no spot
coal for present consumers

Atlantic fseet, Just back from Europe.
and Admiral Benson. chief Of opera
tons of the navy. are tonight holding
an extended conference with Secrs-
tary of the Navy Daniels. strfctest
secrecy Ii bsing observed as to the de-
tails Of their talk.
Admiral Mayo IN known 10 have
brought back to the United States
the views of the allied admaralttes on
operations of importance In which the
United States may take part at any
time II Ia no violation OF the CEN
sorship to say that many more United
States fighting vessels are now In the
war zone than is generally known to
the public. These are OF every naval
type from superdreadnought to sub
marine. They will make possible the
participation of the United States in
naval operations of an almost un-
precedented scale.
1t was reported last week that Sc
rious differences over the strategy of
the war at sea had arisen between the
British admiralty and the United
States naval authorities. These re-
rsorts met with an official denial AT
the hands of Secretary Daniels. Ma
val officers have known for Ions
time. however. that the British ad-
miralty has been hampered In the OPP
erations 1t has desired to make by
certain political considerations. The
British public have given evidence,
according TO reports received hero,
that they will not greet with favor any
naval policy which invorves the sacri-
fice of any considerable number OF
capital ships
There is a large element among
United States naval officers on the
other hand which believes that IL the
German fleets and the German subma-
rines can be "strafed" In their lairs
the effort will be worth a large mum
l-ber OF our own ships.
It is generally believed that Ad-
niiral Mayo and the British admiralty

The Cherry Tree Ugly
Nest TOrtricid Pest

The following has been issued for the
Information of all interested by Frank II
Dudley, the State horticuturist, Maine
Department Of Agriculture:
The Cherry Tree Ugly Nest Tortricid.
Cacoecia cerasivorana, lives upon the
choke-cherry and other bushes as we'll as
weeds and grasses. The larvae, which
are yellow, active creatures, fasten to-
gether all the leaves and twigs of a
branch and feed upon them an entire
brood occupying a single nest. The lar
vac change to pupae within the nest; and
the pupae, when about to transform.
work their way out and hang suspended
from the outer portion Of the nest, cling
ing to it only by hooks at the tail end Of
the body. Here they transform. leaving
the empty pupa-skins projecting from the
nest. The moths vary in size. the wing
eXpanse of those we have bred ranging
from four -ffths Of an inch to nearly one
and one-ffth inches. The wings are
bright ochre-yellow, the front pair
marked with irregular brownsh spots and
numerous transverse bands Of pale leaden
blue.
Bad infestations Of this pest may be
found in many towns on bushes. weeds
and grasses along the dividing fences and
stone walls AMI along the roadsides. Not
only will the Cherry Ugly infest the
above, but this year has been found on
the orchard trees. therefore. the destruc-
ton Of this pest is imperative.
Cut and burn all nests and spray all
foliage not infested with arsenate of lead
three pounds to 40 gallons Of water
Spraying on nest does no good
