Operators Take Steps II
Inform Public Where
Fault Lies.
TO MAKE DAILY REPORT
Secretary Lawson Arrang.
ing For Complete Advices
From Operators. Z

In cooperation with the United
States Geological Survey and the Com
mittee on Coal Production OF The Coun.
Gil of National Defense, the Central
West Virginia Coal Operators Assoeia.
ton is preparing a daily production
card, which among other things will
show the number OF tons of coal lost
each day because OF insufficient car
supply. Lately the coal operators have
been handicapped because of the ex.
ceptionally bad car supply furnished
them by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road and are preparing this daily re,
port to show to the public the time and
labor lost under such conditions.
The report that is sent each day to
D. r. Lawson, secretary Of the Central
West Virginia Coal Operators Asso-
citation will include the name OF the
company, location of mine. cars order.
ed. cars received, cars loaded, cars
shipped, the hours lost because Of no
cars, mine failure, labor shortage, and
ether causes. The report will be made
up each day and actual figures sent to
newspapers throughout the country.
Complaints have been coming in dur.
ing the past few weeks from every sec.
ton of bad car supply. In some cas-.
es operators have not been able TO
work their mines for as many as four
and FIVE days in succession. 1t is the
general belief that the first reports will
find the coal operators In this section
producing only about so per cent. OF
their capacity, and that with a. normal
car supply twice as much coal can be
produced
Tie first half of August found good
supply throughout this section Of the
state, but from that time there has
been gradual decrease in the number
of cars received until the operators ara
now falling below the 80 per cent,
mark in their production.
The operators believe that the rub.
lie should know the conditions now pre-.
vailirg and for this season are prepar.
ing the daily report. In order to reach
the demand of the northwest million
tons Of coal should be shipped to the
Great Lakes each week. It is evident
that the demand for coal during the
winter will be enormous and unless
there is much more activity, the open.
ing of the winter months will find the
country with bad coal supply.
Mr.. Lawson finds the coal operators
responding willingly to his call for
daily reports and will be able to begin
the reports tomorrow afternoon.

Story Blew Up When
They Were Separated

Mike Tedeska and Daley Smith, col
ored, were before Mayor Bowen this
morning charged with stealing horn
and pair Of bicycle grips from bicy-
Gle owned by small boy in the en-
ployment of the Western Union Tele-
graph company.
When before themayor this morning
both strongly denied stealing the ar
ticles and presented well connected
story of how they purchased the arti-
Giles from another lad. After twenty
minutes OF snappy cross questioning
City Attorney Albert Kern was unable
TO prove them guilty. Believing all the
while that Tedeska was not innocent
Attorney Kern took them in separate
rooms and after Questioning them sep
arately, Tedeska confessed. He &C.
cused Smith of also being implicated
in the stealing but 1t is the belief of
the city authorities that Smith is inno-
cent.
1t is probable that Tedeska and
Smith will both be turned over to the
county and tried in the juvenile court.

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP.
France Sept. 4-Controle American.
Americas chief contribution to the

At this time | wish particularly to
tell of the urgent need for mon, guns
and airplanes.
Until l got up to the front and saw
war as 1t actually is, l held the pop.
ulnr notion that guns-meaning ar.
tillery-was the biggest single factor
for success. 1t Is not true. Infantry
comes first of all. In the final 'analy.
sis, it's the fellow with a gun on his
shoulder who wins or loses the
war.
III all the big engagements that have
taken place on the eastern front, the
artillery has done work OF far-reach.
ing Importance in Smelling the Ger.
man positions, paving the way for the
infantry to rush forward and take adj
vanced ground.
But all the artillery assistance
would have gone for nothing If the
infantry had not been able to hold
what they had captured.
1t is. therefore, the firm belief OF
those best posted on conditions on
the western front, that the biggest
thing America can do to help crush
out Prussian militarism Is to get q
million men over here in the shortest
possible time, and to have another
million in reserve back home to send
over il they are needed.
The two things Germany doesn't
want America to throw into the war
are men and guns.
This is because Germany has reach
ed the limit of her manpower. She
cant stand any more killings. I'm
questionably the sentiment Of the
rank and file in Germany favors get
ting out of the war with the least pos
sible amount of additional blood
shed.
A big American army, backed uE
with plenty of artillery, will do more
than anything else, in the judgement
of war experts, in bringing Germany
to realization that the struggle is
hopeless for her.
Now, as to airplanes.
Reports reaching France that con
gress had appropriated some $500,
100000 for aircraft and that at least
$4,000 planes would be sent over here
has thrilled all the allies, and every
body has accepted it as factor that
will have an important bearing on the
termination OF the war.
But those American airplanes are
needed now!
