Suffrage Pickets Released;

Judge Suspends Sentence on Eleven Women After
Armistice Is Declared at Washington
Headquarters by Mistake

Of prosecuting women for peacefully
petitioning for political liberty. We
will use our unexpected freedom to
press our campaign with ever increas-
ing vigor.'
At suffrage headquarters the follow
ing statement WAS given out:
"The action of the court this morn
ing in retreating from its former posi-
ton and freeing us without sentence
makes more glazing than ever the In
justice OF holding nineteen women on
thirty and sixty day sentences In DC

tioning the President for liberty. We
will conduct the campaign of protest
now being carried on throughout the
country against the Administrators

redoubled energy
Both OF these statements overlook
the fact that Judge Mullowney only
suspended sentence and the women are
still liable to forced retirement.

Hard Coal Tonnage
Highest in Years,
Reports Indicate
Roads Hauled IL Per Cent
More in 8 Months Than
in Same 1916 Period
tstsn Corrrspondencsl

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.--Rcports just
compiled for the Railroads War Board
indicate that, unless something unfore-
seen occurs. the amount OF anthracite
transported by the railroads this year
viii exceed the tonnage OF any pre-
vious year by considerable amount.
According TO the reports. which show
the operation Of the nine anthracite
railroads, the aggregate anthracite ton
mage transported by these roads during
the eight-month period ended August
81 was 7,66s,3s2 tons more than in the
same period last year, an increase OF
17ls per cent. To produce this in
crease the anthracite roads carried a
gross tonnage OF 52,29l,ii5 from
the mine mouths. as against 1893 63
for the first eight months Of 1916.
The increase for August alone was
1885 per cent. The July increase was
24.38 per cent and the June increase
25.24 per cent. These figures, accord
ing to the Railroads War Board, in
dictate that recent reports to the effect
that there has been severe curtail-
ment in the production and distribution
of anthracite are based upon rumor
rather than facts.
Few specific complaints OF coal
shortage have been reported from any
part of the country, in spite OF the
recent cold weather, Fuel Adminlstra-
tor Garfield said to-day after confer
ence with President Wilson.
1.-THE fuel administration said DR..
Garfield, "has received kilograms say
ing the coal htuation is acute, but
these do not give details which can be
Investigated and remedied. Most re-
ports indicate that individual consum-
ers are receiving necessary supplies OF
coal"
The Administrator explained that
some complaints of coal shortage came
from persons whose orders are not
filled promptly because Of the great de-
mand at this time Of the year and who
are unnecessarily worried as a result.
Car shortage leads labor troubles "a
a factor in reducing the country's coal
supply. Figures compiled by the Geo
logical Survey and made public to-day
show that car.shortsge has reduced coal
output 10 per cent, while labor troubles
have cut it down per cent.
In the last six weeks labor troubles
have cost the country, it is declared.
more than 100000 tons Of coal, the
amount Of one days output of all the
soft coal mines in the country.
Production during the week ending
with September % fell to less than 10
per cent OF capacity.
