STEPS TO CURB THE
HIGH PRICE OF COAL

Washington, Aug. Is II Decisive
steps to curb high coal prices are ex.
pected from President Wilson and the
federal trade commission this week.
Under government assurance that
unlimited profits are not TO be tolerat.
ed working conditions in all industries
are improving, the labor department
reports
Until the president authorizes the
commission to act with full powers
granted under the food bill the gov.
ernment looks with disfavor upon any
movement by the state to assume
charge OF the coal situation.
The national defense council fears
If the states mix in the national coal
problem 1t may serve to seriously
embarrass the government in its plans
for sweeping action.
Justice Garter, fuel dictator" OF
Illinois, had planned to arrange an in
quiry into coal transportation prom
lens. The operators had agreed tc
accept Carter's decision on reasonable
coal prices. II is understood how
ever, that the government does not
wish Carter to fix any price schedule
now. 1t is pointed out that If the
states fix prices and the federal trade
commission establishes another price
under authority from the presiden
confusion may arise with the coal op
orators, like the railways, claiming
too many bosses.

Rome, Ang. 15.-Peace proposals
made by Pope Benedict have been de-
liyered to all the belligerents.
The pope suggests restoration of
Belgium. Serbia and Roumania and
peaceful solution of the problem Of Al
sace-Lorraine. Trent Triest and Po-
land, according to reports received
from Vatican sources
Washington. Aug. 15.-An unofficial
outline of Pope Benedict's peaca pro
posals received here discloses that the
pontif includes some of the principles
of world peace for which President
Wilson has declared.
Among the pope's proposals are re-
duction of ornaments, freedom of the
seas and that there shall be no re-
taliatory struggle after the war for
world commercial supremacy. These
are regarded as the foundation stones
of the pope's plan

edge Of the pope's proposal was dis
claimed. 1t was said the papal dele
gate had not transmitted it To the
United States government and did not
expect to do so. The opinion was ex.
pressed that it would come through
a neutral government.
Within the entente diplomatic cir
cles tire opinion was freely and prompt
ly expressed that the peace proposal
was inspired by Germany and was an
tempt to split the allies in a con
tiicting discussion OF their war aims
Would Reduce Armament.
How for the peace proposals re
fleets the close relationship of the
Vatican with Austria, whose earnest
desire for peace despite German in
fiuence is well known, or how far 1
reflects the Catholic agitation fol
peace in Germany no one here woult
venture to say. 1t was recalled, how
ever, that leading Catholics wer'
prominent figures in the recent peace

Reduction of armaments. settlemen
of all international disputes by arbi
tration, freedom of the seas and M
retaliatory after the war economi
struggle for supremacy are the foun
dation stones of Pope Benedicts peac
proposals.
The pope's proposal declares tha
the injuries to all belligerents hav
been SO great there should be n
thought of reparation except for tn
return of territory.
Included in the restoration of terr
tory the pope's proposals insist shoul
be the return to Germany of all he

Officials were unusually explicit
