COAL men TO Be HEARD;
WASHINGTON HAS SUPPLY

Washington coal dealers are to be
given . hearing on coal prices to be
fixed by John L. Weaver, Federal fuel
administrator for the District, tomor-
row night at the offices of the Coal
Merchants Association, 1913 G street
northwest.
The price-hxing committee, headed
by C. A. Aspinwall, has about COM
pleted its findings with respect to cost
to Washington coal dealers and price
to be charged.
Coal Is now coming into Washing
ton In good quantities, Mr.. Weaver
stated today. He is particularly opti-
mistic over the release OF a good
quantity of both anthracite and btu
minous for Washington. Shipments
for the public utilities are coming In
rapidly. relieving what threatened
to become an alarming situation with
respect to coal for the utility corpora
tions that are serving the Capital.

INSURANCE MEN
OPPOSE LICENSE
OF TEUTON FIRMS

Licensing Teuton IRE insurance
companies is unsafe, unpatriotic, and
unnecessary. Richard Hurd declared
at a Treasury hearing today.
He headed q New York insurance
delegation opposed to applications of
German and enemy-ally companies
for licenses under the enemy trading
law.
Teuton agents would have access to
valuable war information; their in
spectors by license would be privi-
legged to go through munition plants
and other establishments. There are
sufficient American companies to
make unnecessary enemy companies.
Two million American policyhold-
ers OF German insurance companies
will suffer II the Government bans
these concerns from business during
the war, according to Teuton testi-
mony at the hearing.
Pleading for the licenses. the Ger
man insurance men denied that the
inside" information they obtained
had been used by enemy sympathizers
to plot destruction Of munition ma
terials and factories. Indeed. most
OF the officials and directors of these
companies. It was argued. are Amer
leans.
Many have sons now in United
States training camps and have SUBJ
scribed heavily to the Liberty loans,
II was claimed. Not a dollar of pre-
miums will go abroad to Germany
during the war, 1t was promised.
Means OF communication with their
home Offices, except through Ameri-
can Government channels, do not ex-
list, II was stated.

DICTATOR FOR RAIL WAYS
SOLVES STRIKE PROBLEM,
PRESIDENT WILSON TOLD

Z A railroad dictator" may be ap-
pointed by President Wilson.
Determined that war transporta-
ton shall not be tied up by strike,
the President today also has under
consideration, not only the refusal
of the Big Four brotherhoods to arbi-
trate their wage demands, but also
the critical freight congestion, car
shortage, and railroad finance prob
lens. A dictatorship similar to the
Government control of food, fuel,
priority and shipping is being urged
officially to turn the country's rail-
ways completely and solely into
war machine.
VIII Stop At Nothing.
The Presidents closest advisers de-
clarsd today he would stop at moth
Ing TO keep open the rails for NUM-
tions, coal and other essentials. II
he does not sway the brotherhood
chiefs by persuasion, he has recourse
to Government control, with the
workers drafted at army pay.
Additional legislation, first neces-
sary for such an unlooked-for move,
would be granted by Congress at the
Presidents behest II the emergency
arose, his advisers believe.
Railroad executives, coming here to-
morrow to plead with the Interstate
Commerce Commission for more rate
increases. may see the President or
communicate with him indirectly. A
week from today the brotherhood
leaders will visit the President at the
White House. That the outcome may
be some agreement for a raise in
pay with a Presidential recommends
tion for increased railroad freight
rates Is regarded more than possible.
Unions to BE Responsible.
II. however, the unions stand firmly
by their demands, as they did a
year ago, the President will cast the
burden of responsibility upon them.
He has already declared his view that
patriotic men cannot now seriously
consider imposing on the nation such
a calamity as a transportation tie up
would involve In the midst OF war
The implied threat OF drastic action
made by the President is expected to
have the desired effect
However, other railroad problems
are pressing. The railways war board
admits the lines cannot cope with
the increased demands upon them un-
less great additions are made to their
equipment
