In spite of our prayers, preachments,

and against peace have come steadily

Mr.. HAGEN's ELECTION.

The new president of the Chamber of Commerce,
MrJ. f. c. Hagens, has been placed in trying posi-
ton by the circumstances under which he has been
elected That is the inevitable result of the fact that
the frmtof which he is president and director has
been identified not only with German business in.
.farests hut with German Official interests.
1t is no fault of the chamber nor of Mr.. HageHs
personally that when he remained as the only can
didafb for president Of the Chamber Of Commerce
EfhetekRas obyious hesitation in eecting him. The
fact which there is need to blink is that H. Hack
field Company is closely identified in public opin-
ion with German official acts, through consular
channels and through its agency for the German
refugee steamers,
1t is not questioning Mr.. Hagens' Aznericansm-
he is naturalized ctizento say that his election
as head Of the leading commercial organization adds
to the sharpness Of such questions must arise with
Germany and the United States on the very verge of
war.
There are German ships at our piers whose pres
ence is q constant and an imminent menace to the
commerce of this port. The harbor board has been
blocked at every turn by Hackfed & Company and
the federal government in trying to get the steamers
outside the harbor. The menace remains and it may
come squareis before the Chamber of Commerce to
take action for the removal Of these ships In such
eontingency--and it is probable one--what initia-
five will the new president of the Chamber Of Com
merce take?
Mr. Hagens himself referred to his position, in
his talks at the meeting yesterday. 1t is painful
subject to which to refer here but the fact that his
firm has from the beginning identified itself through
its leading officers with Ger1nanys official conduct
has brought about this situation. Unless there is
u change in attitude the situation inevitably must
continue and the criticism increase.

ALABAMA COAL MEN
 WILLINGLY ACCEPT .UN|F FORM PRICES
Operators in This District Show They Have Not En- joyed Fancy Harvest
 on Product
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, June 26.-(Special) )-Noti- fled pointbank that they would be com pelled either to get together and agree on a fair selling price or suffer the gov ernment to take over their output, opera tors representing every coal producing section of the United States made tenta- tive plans tonight for an early consul taton.
 That the operators will agree on mini mum and maximum price is the opinion of Erskine Ramsay of Birmingham who is a member of the fuel committee of the national defense council. It is his opinion, further, that Alabama operators believing it unnecessary that they turn over their mines to the government, would willingly accept the alternative of a uniform price.
 Among the members of the committee and members of Congress, The Age-Her- ald containing page statement by Ala bama operators, was circulated today. It contained proof that Alabama operators had not shared in the fancy price harvest.

Fort of the federal trade commission and Assistant Attorney General Lewis. all of whom frankly warned the producers that unless they themselves established a fair selling price and proper regulation of the industry their output would be taken over by the government
 The meeting was called by the de- fense councils committee for a dis cussion of methods of reducing the price of coal both to the government and the general public, and was pre- sided over by Frank s. Peabody of Chicago. chairman of the committee. While 1t was in progres the Senate interstate commerce committee, begin ming an inquiry into the cost of pro- duction of raw materials was holding its first hearing with coal operators and miners as witnesses.
 Both at the operators meeting and before the committee the solution of the greater production problem was declared to be more railroad cars. Car shortage was blamed for restricting the output of mines everywhere.
 Sessions of the operators will be continued tomorrow. One of the th,ngs to be considered is motion declar- ing that it is the sense of this meet lHS LHat they earnestly request every operator in the Unitetd States to join a coal operators association of his state and in such state where there is no association to take immediate steps to organize one so that reliable and accurate information regarding the coal industry can be furnished the government whenever called for"
