If the gentlemen on the other side are afraid of some threatened invasion on the part of the President why should it be necessary to defeat this bill? l am convinced that this is merely pretext and the real purpose of the minority Is to defeat this bill
 I would be derelict in my duty if I did not tell the people of the country, those who have demanded and backed this great programme for defense, of this threatened effort to break that pro- gramme down. We want the American people to know it was your dagger that pierced the body of this great programme and brought it to it's untmely death

 One of the speakers at the Madison Square meeting had asked how many persons would be willing to go to the governors hotel Several in the crowd who took this as signal ta march started away, and soon an ex- cited throng was moving up Madison avenue. At Thirty street the marchers turned into Fifth avenue. One man, pointing to an automobile, shouted that no one had a right to ride in automobiles when others were starving. The machine was stopped and instantly several persons boarded the running board and tried to drag the owner from the car Policemen drove away his assailants
 POLICE SWEPT AWAY
 Three policemen who tried to turn the marchers away from the Waldorf Astoria were swept aside. Although reinforced soon afterward by number of porters and other employees of the hotel, they were unable to quiet the crowd. Traffic was blocked in all directions. One wom- an cried: We want to see the governor. We want bread. Our babies are starv- ing
 The reserves arrived while she was speaking and formed line in front of the hotel entrance. They vainly argued with the crowds, and finally were forced to charge One woman later was found unconscious in the street where, it was said, she had been knocked down.
 COMMITTEE SEES GOVERNOR
 While the police were dispersing the crowd in front of the Waldorf f-Astoria, committee which had been appointed at the Madison Square meeting called on Governor Whitman at the Hotel St. Regis Several hundred of those who participated in the demonstration at the Waldorf Astoria assembled in front of the St Regis, about mile further up Fifth avenue. The governor received the com mittee in one of the parlors of the hotel and told them that he would support Mayor Mitchell and the other city au- lbOIllIeS III every way .pOSSlDle m relleV- ing the present situation

FILIBUSTER OF
 REPUBLICANS IS
 FINALLY BROKEN

senator while the administration is form ing it's course came as a complete sur prise It promised to further complicate and embarrass an already much mixed up situation.
 The republicans, resentful of what they construe as President Wilson's wish not to have Congress on his hands in an international crisis, are said to be ready to force an extra session of Congress in or der that nothing may be- done by the President without House and Senate in session To this end that an extra session may be necessary, democratic leaders say the republicans are seeking by delay and filibusters to kill important legislation which must be passed even if it requires an extra session.
 REPUBLICANS ASSAILED
 Toward the close of the day, after the heated debate over the international sit- of the finance committee bitterly assailed the republicans for their filibuster. The democrats, he declared. proposed to die fighting for the revenue bill and pre- paredness legislation, and would hold the Senate in continuous session until vote could be had on the revenue bill.
 We are witnessing here,' said Sem ator Simmons, "the most determined fili- buster I have ever seen in the Senate. If this revenue bill shall fail and as a result the great programme to put this country in condition of defense is held up and suspended for another year, l think it due to the American people that they should know who is responsible for such miscarriage of this great purpose on the part of the government
 "We are told this is not a filibuster. The Senate knows and the country knows it is a filibuster to defeat the revenue bill ooO of which s22sooo,oco is placed upon the backs of the great. rich and powerful corporations.

 There was no music and neither shout ing nor hootng, as the marchers, bear ing only a few signs and banners touch ing on the high cost of living proceeded toward Madison Square in a score of processons.
 NO DISORDER AT MEETING
 Nor was there any disorder when the women reached Madison Square. Only a few policemen were there, but reserves were held at nearby stations The women marched quietly to places assigned them by those i'm charge of the meeting. Occasionally there was cheering when the speeches began some of which were in foreign Ian guages. one of the first to address the crowd was Adolph Blumenstein, a 1S- year-old schoolboy.
 "We want the high cost of living to go down." he said. You can't sup port a family of five or six children on $17 week with potatoes at cents and onions at 15 cents a pound Some ,.ao training in the schools. too But I ask you, what is the use of this if we have nothing to eat to train on? We want food, not charity" %

 He added that he did not propose to turn over to the federal authorities the information gained by his staff until he had learned whether New ork county was entitled to any seizures that might be made and also if he had the authority to prosecute those gambling in foodstuffs
 Although 72 carloads of potatoes were in the yards of one railroad com pany today, only II carloads were un- loaded, the district attorneys investi-, gators reported. Similar conditions, they said. had existed here for several days past.

UTAH SETS NEW
COAL RECORD

The production of coal in Utah in
1916 was 3,567,42S net tons, valued
at $5,795,944, an increase, compared
with 1915, of about $4,000 tons, or
10 per cent, in quantity, and of $780,
900, or Is per cent, in value. This
output in 1916, according to C. Il.
Lesher, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, Department of Interior,
was the greatest on record for the
State of Utah and exceeds that of
1913, the previous record year, by
more than 312,500 tons. The increase
was made largely in commercial ship
ments from the mines in Carbon Co.
unity, all other counties recording de-
creases. The consumption of Utah
coal by railroads increased, and the
market on the Pacific was extended,
largely by reason of the decrease in
water-borne fuel from Australia and
Japan and from the Atlantic coast of
the United States. The activity of
the smelters and metal mines in
creased largely the output of both
coal and coke.
For the first ten months of 1916,
except for short periods of car short
age, the transportation facilities were
ample. In November and December
the car supply was reduced and pro-
duction was somewhat curtailed. In
the early part of the year the supply
of labor was normal, but in the sum-
mer many men left the coal mines,
where there is more working time and
better wages, and many others were
reported to have left to seek employ
ment in munition factories and other
industries in the East, in the hope of
getting better pay. The number of
employees decreased from 1864 in
1915 to 1929 in 1916, but the aver
age number Of days worked increased
from POS to 22S in 1916. The average
value of the coal per ton increased
from $1.5S in 1915 to $1.62 in 1916.
