Harry A. Garfield. coal administra-
tor, found himself face 10 face with
a labor situation which threatens TO
tie up the coal industry in the
United States
Retail prices seems 20 be IN a
fair way towards settlement Dis
tribution is a problem which can
be met by whipping the railroads
into line. Production can be forced
if necessary by governmental com
Wandering of mines. Labor alone
stands as the one factor which the
government can not whip into line
men can not be made to work
Whether the situation will reach a
coal administration would say. al
though they admit that the labor
situation is a ''vexing problem"
Unrest il General
Middle western miners have pre-
scented demands TO the coal admin
istration. Kentucky miners. to the
extent Of some $1,000, already are
on strike. IN other coal fields there
is a great unrest and tendency
towards making large demands for
increased wages.
DR.. Garfield has turned the prob
lem very largely over TO John T.
White. president of the United
Nine Workers of America. Mr..
White as a representative of the
miners. and member of the coal
administration. will attempt TO as
suage the protesting parties Miners
have already placed their case be-
fore Mr. White and have made de-
mands for increases i'm wages to
meet the rising living costs" As
a representative Of the mine work
ers White knows the situation in
the individual fields and it is hoped
that ne will be able 10 reach an
.amicable settlement Of wage dis
putes. so that Americas coal supply
will not be hampered.

fixed prices are not sufficient 70 meet
rising demands for wages. They
declare that since the government
has fixed the price Of coal il is up
20 the government TO meet the de-
mands for increased wages. They
ask a subsidy from the government
or else that the government pay the
difference In wages on all OF its
coal.

SHIPPING BOARD
At OUTS WITH

Stale Department Insists on
Directing Operation of
Big Merchant Fleet
Now Building.
international News Service:

International News Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. - The
Navy department and the federal
shipping board today are at swords
points over the operation Of the mer-
chant fleet of the government. Naval
officials are demanding that the
operation of the big fleet be turned
over TO them. The shipping board
and the emergency fleet corporation
insist this is unnecessary. Both have
gone 10 the hc. Sc appropriations
committee and demanded money to
provide for the training of seamen
with which to man the vessels.
II became known today that the
bureau of navigation of the navy de-
partment has strongly recommended
the retention of the "a naval train
ing stations, even after sufficient
men for the ships OF the navy are
turned out, and there is a sufficient
reserve trained and ready 10 fill va
cancies which reasonably may be
expected On the other hand, the
shipping board has its project for
training men 10 man the merchant
fleets as fast as ships are ready to
receive them.
Labor With Board.
Organized labor is expected TO
side with the shipping board. II
the navy takes over the ships, the
crews will of course have to be en-
listed under the naval esta blishment.
There is every indication that labor
will oppose this step strenuously, al
though il has not been necessary
yet TO show its hand.
The stand of the navy is based on
reports made TO the department by
commanders Of gun crews on mer-
chant vessels. While these reports
are being withheld, it is known on
positive information that practically
all of them are to the effect that
conditions on the ships are such that
II is well nigh hopeless to think of
operating the fast growing trans
Atlantic merchant feet under war
conditions unless the navy takes
charge
VIII Control Atlantic Fleet.
Naval officers freely predict that
within a year the situation will be
such that the navy will have taken
over the operation of practically
every ship in the transatlantic serv-
ice. Little attention has been paid
To the Pacific service, as thus far
the navy has had little direct in
formation of conditions on ships
there.
