Smokeless coal producers will confer
with government officials here Tuesday,
it was announced last night, on prices
to be charged for battleship fuel and
coal for use by government depart

the next year about 100000 tons OF

which will go to warships and trans
ports. Contracts ran out in June and
thus far the government and operators
have been unable to get together on
prices. The Navy Department is pur-
chasing its coal at tentative price of
s2.33 a ton. with the understanding that
a final price is yet to be set.
Among the operators asked to Wash
ingtou are many producers Of semi
smokeless coal. The government will
ask these producers to take. over COM
mercial business now held by smokeless
operators.

CHANCE FOR CONSCR|PTS
TO GET COMMISSIONS
Men Drafted Into Army Service Will
Have Opportunity to Obtain
Promotions.

Men who are called into the service of
the United States rs a result of the draft
have a chance of being promoted by COM
mission. There has been a prevailing
opinion that any man who is forced into
the United States military service would
not have a chance Of receiving a commits
sion, but 1t was learned today that such
men will have the same opportunity as
men Of the regular army and the National
Guard.
In fact. the third officers training camp
will be open only to men who are already
in the service Of the United States. The
men who answer the first call to service
will be watched closely by the officers
who train them and those who show
that they are putting their shoulders to
the wheel and are trying to perform their
military duty and who show special
ability in the command and direction Of
men viii be sent to the officers camps.
All men in the service will have fair
chance under this plan. The man with
out previous military service who has
been selected to go into the national
army will learn much under the in
tensive training scheme to be applied
In the training camps. and will enter
the officers camp on almost the same
ground with the man with previous
military service.
