One Third of Illinois Mines Are
Idle and Other Men May Fol-
low
ADMINISTRATOR OF FUEL
MUST MAKE NEXT MOVE
Warning That Production Must
Be Continued Has Gone I'm
needed

With one-third of the big shipping
mines in Illinois idle and several hun
dred smaller shafts and gopher
holes closed, the high tide of the coal
miners strike to force immediate in
crease in wages, operators believe, has
not been reached.
All miners officials are at Joliet at
tending the federation of labor con-
vention, and it was expected that
many more mines would be shut down,
despite the warning Of DR.. Garfield, the
fuel administrator, that he would
"use whatever powers are necessary
to compel production Of coal to meet
the country's needs"
Appeal to Governor
Manufacturing concerns and private
individuals appealed to Governor F. o.
Lowden yesterday to bring about re-
lief of coal shortages in various parts
of the state, but the governor referred
the parties to the federal authorities,
who have the full lcontrol Of the situ-
alton.
nately intervened to prevent suffering
among persons whose coal bins are
low, but factories and plants using
large quantities of fuel are said to be
faced with shutdowns unless relief is
forthcoming.
Use Necessary Power
A report from Washington says that
whatever powers necessary will be
employed by the federal government
to stop the strikes of coal miners in
the middle west and prevent Interrupt
ton of the nations fuel production.
This warning was given yesterday
by Fuel Administrator Garfield in a
sharp telegram to miners and oper-
ators in the field involved, reminding
them Of their pledge not to allow the
output of coal to be diminished and
declaring that any attempt to bring
pressure to bear upon him to force
revision of coal prices would result in
postponement of decision of that
question.

Washington, July 28.-The addi-

posing additional taxes of $2,000,000,-
900 and authorizing $4,000, 0Gc, 900 in

informal decision today by the senate
finance committee.
While every effort will be made to
expedite revision of the revenue bill,
committee members said their work
might take most of next week.
Various amendments were suggest
ed today. One was to increase the
present normal tax rate on incomes
of 2 per cent to or 6 per cent, the
former for individuals and the latter
for corporations. Increase in the
pending rates on war excess profits
also was regarded certain and in

CHECK MARCH
OF THE ENEMY
Austro-Gernans Move I'm
Molested Through East
ern Galicia to Border.
NO PAUSE GIVEN
RUSSIAN FORCES
In the West There Is No
German Progress But
No Allied Advance.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.

The Austro-German march through
Eastern Galicia and toward the Buk-
owina border is going on unchecked,
so far as latest reports indicate. APP
parently the Teutonic purpose is to
give the retreating Russian forces no
pause until Austrian territory has
been completely cleared Of them if
the achievement is possible.
In the west while there is no cor
responding allied advance, there is
at least an absence of German
progrNs The Crown Prince is the
aggressive force at present, as he has
been for some time past, but his lib
eral sacrifice of his VrUops is not
gaining him any ground of conse-
quence. Last night he met with a
complete check in a renewal of his
offensive on the Aisne front. The
French lines were not penetrated in
the whole field of the attack, which
took in a considerable section of the
Chenin DIES Danes and Paris reports
his losses as extremely heavy.
The British report a heavy fire
from the German guns on the front
from near the Belgian border to the
coast. Evidences accumulate that
the Germans in probable anticipation
of a British attack here are giving
fire for fire to the extent of their
ability when the British guns open up
apparently with the intention of
countering preparations for a thrust
from the British lines.
Reports from the Russian women's
battalion that engaged in the fight
ing near Smorgen pae<ntly and was
badly cut up in the battle state that
German women were found fighting
in the German ranks. Some of these
women were taken prisoners.
Several shipping losses are report
ed. Among the lost vessels was the
American Bark Carmela, of 1879
tons, sunk by submarine shell fire,
the crew of twenty men taking to the
boats and landing safely. The Nor
wegian steamer Thorsdal, of 1900
tons gross, was another.
Dispatches from abroad announce
the landing of another contingent of
American troops at European port.
