real coal barons trust is the railroad
trust, and until the coal carrying fac
ilities are pooled and brought under
control Of the government, the coal
famine will not be relieved.
The president knows this, and so
do Baker, Daniels, Gregory and the
members of the senate committee on
interstate commerce, who + now
getting ready a bill to carry out the
recommendations of the federal trade
commission.
Senator Poindexter, a member Of
this committee explains the matter
thus:
: "Under the proposed plan the gov
eminent would become, for the NOM
ent, the owner of all coal as it came
from the mine. The government
would not attempt to operate mines
or distribute coal. But being the sole
owner Of all coal, the government
would be in in position to curb Goa.
speculation and to insist that the Goa
go where needed.
1.-THE plan c%ontemplates using thu
same distributing agencies that al
ways have done the work-the rail
road the wholesaler, and the retailer
Everybody would be paid cost plus
a reasonable profit for his service.
"But the government would be abb
to follow every ton Of coal from tn
mine to the consumer, and to see tina
the consumer, is served and that tn
middleman does not extort a famin'
or panic profit"
One by-product of the coal fight i
likely to be abolition of the coal com
mittee of the council Of natural de
tense, as it is now made up. Thi
committee has exhibited everything
except patriotism, and is red-tagge'
for an early canning.

OPIUM GROWING COUNTRIES
The Bulgarian Provinces of Mace
donia Now q New Field.
nv Associated Pressl

Rotterdam, Netherlands, July IA
Since the occupation Of the Bulgarian
provinces Of Macedonia, Bulgaria has
become one of the principal opium
growing countries, writes the Balkin
correspondent of the Niouve Rotter-
dam Courant.
Before the Balkin war Turkey was
the leading opium country in the Le-
want, and Smyrna the principal mar
ket for that article. But Bulgaria has
now become a formidable competition
of Asia Minor, both as regards quality
and quantity. The opium grown in
the environs of Usku and in the
Tikvesh, along the Vardar River is
richer in alkaloids than the best
qualities from Anatolia.
In ordinary times the opium from
the Levant is exported to the far East
largely via Holland and Britain.
Further, Germany chiefly draws on
Bulgaria for the opium her chemical
industry requires for the preparation
of morphine, codeine, etc., and Bull
garian opium thus is distributed over
the entire world by Germany's agency.
As the prices obtained for opium, par
ticulary for that exported to the Far

poppy proved in every way profitable
and was continually extending in the
regions along the Vardar suitable tor

nitza and Melnik districts.
About 242,OOO pounds Of opium was
harvested last year in the provinces
under Bulgarian administration, but
this quality can easily be doubled.
Now that the war, and the Allies
blockade, has made export oversee 70

PETTY STEALING.
Daily Commonwealth:

Editor Daily Commonwealth:
Considerable complaint comes from
the housewives of our city OF the
stealing of peaches, tomatoes, and
other fruit and vegetables by a crowd
of small boys. The powers that be
ought to look after these young
scamps and lay a heavy hand on them,
for if allowed to pursue this course
unmolested, sooner or later they will
be brought before the bar of the cir
cult court charged with stealing some
thing of more value that a pocket OF
peaches.

BIG COAL BARONS VERSUS PLAIN
PEOPLE; SECRETARY BAKER
HAS PRICKED BUBBLE.
(By Gibson Garderer)

Wy NtASSAA
Washington, D. c., July 12-Gov-
eminent control or private control
which shall it be? This is the ques-
ton involved in the wrangle over
coal. Shall the government have
power to name a reasonable price
on fuel and to control its distribu-
ton, or shall this be left to specula-
tors?
President Wilson thinks it time to
call a halt on speculation in this ne
cessity. He favors the plan for con-
troll worked out by the federal trade
commission. Secretary of War Bak-
er agrees with him as do Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and Attorney
General Gregory.
Opposed tt. the president r Frank
lin X. Lane, secretary of the interior,
and the big operators who make up
the coal committee of the advisory
council of national defense. This is
the committee headed by F. S. Pea
body.
Added to this opposition is a group
of powerful railroad bankers headed
by what is known as the "steel trust
crowd" who control the railroad fac
%ilities, including coal cars needed tc
carry on the coal industry.
These patriots are not averse te
taking a famine price for coal, ever
if they have to make the famine tx
get the price.
Ex-Gov. Fort of New Jersey, nov
a member of the federal trade com
mission, played the game of the privil
eyed interests, as led by Peabody ant
Lane.
Fort sat in on their conference,
at which it was agreed that a price
of SO be made for coal at the moutl
of the mine. Ford's presence, lik'
that of Secretary Lane, seemed to Civ
official color to an action that was un
authorized and illegal under the Sher
man law. Secretary Baker called at
tention to this fact in his now famou'
letter.
When the federal trade commission
sent its report to the senate abou
two weeks ago showing why a Goa
famine exists the private interest
which control coal became alarmed
They saw they were threatened witt
a real government control. Wha
should they do?
The answer was obvious. Everybod,
hurry to Washington. Get togethe
there and make a loud noise like pa
triotism. Then give out some pres
