PLAN TO PUT CURB
ON COAL TO CANADA
War Board Learns That the Producers
Are Creating Short
age,

Washington, Aug. s.-The government
export council is considering limiting
coal shipments to Canada and the allied
countries
Coal producers, expecting control of
their product, are creating false short
age in the United States by heavy ex-
ports to Canada, government officials are
informed. II this is allowed to continue
prices on coal will so increase as to gouge
both American and allied consumers.
A serious anthracite scarcity threatens
now. Complaints to New England con
gressmen and government agencies are
that consumers cannot get anthracite to
run their business, while thousands of
cars of coal are on railroad tracks billed
through to Canada.
1t is alleged coal men are sending coal
there so that when the government seeks
to fix prices producers can claim short
age and obtain higher prices. 1t is
charged also that prices to Canadians
for the huge shortage" shipments are
being boosted.
The government is inquiring into re

ada is being used to coal neutral steam

Nevertheless the government, in order
not TO compete with commercial liners,
is making its rates conform as much as
possible to commercial rates. Hence the

Miss Rankin, It's Author,
Says Operators
Fail
HER SPEECH is
INTERRUPTED
She Lays Blame on John d.
Ryan of the Red
Cross

Washington, Aug, s.--A joint resolu-
ton authorizing the president to take
over and operate metalliferous mines
was introduced into the House yester-
day by Miss Jeanette Rankin.
The resolution applies particularly to
copper mines in Arizona and Montana.
"These mines are not operating to ca
paeity as demanded by the war" said
Miss Rankin, because the mine owners
and their workers cannot agree"
Miss Rankin, in reviewing the stua-
ton, declared that lawlessness reigns in
the copper district, that there are whole
sale deportations of workers from parts
of Arizona and lynehings by masked
men.
She said that the department of labor
and other government agents had failed
to cope with the situation. Miss Rankin
called attention to the seriousness of la
Dor troubles in the present critical time
of war. She recommended that the mat
ter be placed in the hands of the presi-
dent with power to act.
She attacked what is known as the
''rustling card" system.
She denounced John d, Ryan of New
York, president of the Anaconda Copper
company, as the man responsible for the
"rustling card"
lyon are probably all familiar with
Ryans name in connection with the ac-
tivities of the Red Cross in Washington,
said Miss Rankin. "A word from Ryan
could wipe out this system. have tried
to get him to say it, but he will not"
Interruptions marked Miss Rankin's
maiden speech. She had charged the
western mine owners with holding up
prices and blacklisting employees, when
cries of what about the l. w. WIS.,"
came from all parts of the House.

MONEY CIRCULATION
GROWS IN PHILIPPINES
These Figures Are Declared to Reflect the
Highly Favorable Trade Conditions
Maintained for More Than
Two Years.

Manila, Aug. s-tCorrespondence OF
the Associated Press While .0l6 saw a
gain in the increase in circulation of
money in the Philippine Islands which
amounted to 100000 pesons, the first
six months of this year will exceed that
record increase of 100000 pesos The
circulation since January has amounted
to S5,000,0O0 pesos. These figures, say
local economists, reflect directly the high.
ly favorable trade conditions that have
been maintained for more than two
years in the Philippines Islands.
The wealth of the islands is increas-
ing rapidly, In Manila alone, the as.
sessed value of taxable property to-day,
is over l03,000,0OO pesos, which is more
than 100000 pesos above 1915. Recent
agricultural development in the provinces,
the extent of which il is impossible TO
calculate exactly, makes it certain that
the increases in property values in other
parts of the islands have far exceeded
Manila's record. The success that at
tended the single weeks campaign for
subscription TO the Liberty loan testi-
fled to the presence of much available
money in Manila. Banks and other agen-
cies which have all the funds which they
can readily make use of are another tes-
timonial to the prosperity of the is
lands.
There is but one drawback 10 the gen
eral outlook -prices for sugar and copra
in the United States are such as to make
il Improbable to pay the current trans
Pacific freight rates. The chief concern
il felt as to sugar Thre are upwards of
100000 tons of low grade sugar from
the crop harvested last fall in the sugar
provinces, lying in warehouses. A large
part of the sugar has heretofore gone to
China and Japan, but conditions in Chi
ma have practically closed the market
there. An unusually large crop of For
mosan sugar has reduced the Japanese
demand for the Philippine product to a
minimum.
Low grade sugar cannot command good
prices in the American markets, hence
he present rate on sugar to the Pacific
'oast, which is $50 ton, makes its ship
