PRICES ON COAL FIXED BY
OPERATORS AND OFFICIALS

-Four hundred coal mine operators,
who gathered last Thursday at call
from Secretary Lane, pledged them
selves to furnish their product at a
reasonable price. Operators east Of
the Mississippi river agreed to make
cut of from 81 to SIS per ton. By
thus reducing the prices, operators
will get $18O,00O,000 less annually for
their product.
In addition to placing prices upon
coal at the mines, it was announced
that jobbers, brokers, retailers and
commission men would be permitted
to charge commissions of not more
than Is cents ton, and that no more
than one commission should be
charged. In other words, the con-
sumer will get his coal at the mine
price plus transportation charges and
Is cents per ton.
Representatives from various states
were asked to quote the minimum
price at which they could furnish coal.
The Clearheld district of Pennsyl-
vania agreed to cut the price for coal
as it was loaded at the mouth of the
mine from $5.25 to So, with $3.50 for
lump sizes. Tennessee came down
from $3.50 to SO. Virginia did like
wise. West Virginia reduced the cur
rent contract price of $500 to SO, and
Illinois and Indiana reduced their
prices to $2.75 for coal as it came
from the mine.
Alabama, which mines under differ
ent conditions, with special expenses,
reduced its price from $3.50 to So at
the lowest and 81 at the highest.
Maryland lowered its estimate from
$5.75 to the standard figure, So and
$3.50.
The figures met the entire approval
of Chairman Peabody Of the defense
councils committee, Secretary Lane
and Commissioner Fort. In several
instances they discussed frankly the
situation in certain districts with the
representatives from those districts,
while asking for lower figures, and in
each instance they met the hearty CO.
operation of the operators. The prices
do not apply to coal for export or for
bunker, and of course do not affect
contracts or sales made before July l..

DYNAMITERs IN BROWNSVILLE

A good deal Of excitement was Gre
ated in Brownsville few days ago by
the discovery Of quite number Of
dynamite shells scattered over the
streets. The little son of Will Rich
ards found one and while playing
with it, it exploded in his hand, blow
ing away the greater part Of three
fingers. A day or two later Paul Bar
croft stepped on one while coming up
Depot Hill. 1t exploded and caused a
severe wound on his foot and leg.
Quite a number of these shells have
been found, but most of them were on
Depot street. It is generally thought
that they were found somewhere by
some careless boy who scattered them
along the street without realizing
their dangerous nature.-Brownsville

sERBIA's WOES ARE DESCRIBED

Charges of almost incredible cruelty
were made at a meeting in the Hotel
Morrison against the Teutonic allies
in Serbia by Nine. Margaret Yeftich,
commissioned by the French and
Serbian governments to obtain funds
in Chicago and elsewhere in the Unit
ed States for the maintenance of q
hospital on the Macedonian frontier.
DR.. Lee N. GAIA of 1889 West 18th

tiated the charges.
The accusations were.
That German, Austrian and
Bulgarian soldiers cut off the
hands and feet Of Serbian pris-
oners and also mutilated the
wounded.
That Serbian prisoners were
tortured; favorite diversion
was to gouge out their eyes.
That Bulgarian soldiers tore
Serbian baby boys limb from
limb.
That aged men, young mothers
and girls were bayoneted and
other noncombatants slain at will.
with other Red Cros nurses, said
Nine. Yeftich, an Englishwoman, Il
was sent by the British war Office in
London to Belgrade. On the day Of
our arrival hundreds of Serbian sol
diers died of typhus.'
When the Teutons overran Serbia,
Nine. Yeftich said, the hospital force
at Belgrade was given fifteen minutes
to depart. They were forced to flee
and to leave unattended more than
5000 wounded. eve marched, day and
night, for twenty-seven days., Nine.
Yeftich continued, "while thousands
of refugees dropped dead in the snow,

THE END

When twilight comes with setting sun
And life's fieeting days are done,
Shall ], with happy heart and well
content,
Sink sweetly to rest from life well
spent?
Or shall |, in crouching fear,
Shrink because the end is near,
Dread the approaching dark that pre-
cedes the dawn
In that beautiful, glorious land be-
yond?
