RIGHT TO CONTROL COAL

Coal is not like wheat nor steel. This country not only
contains enormous coal deposits. but these deposits have been
opened to a degreee that should insure plenty of coal for all
purposes. The total amount of the coal mined in this country
does not exceed sixty per cent of the capacity of the mines and
the equipment now installed.
Only two things stand between the consumers and the coal
mines. and they are labor and lack of transportation. If suf-
ficient labor is available, the mine operators can turn out all
the coal that can possibly be required. 1t may be that the de
mand for anthracite cannot be fully met because the supply of
this smokeless fuel is limited but such is not the case with
bituminous coal which is the basic element in practically all
our industries. For this reason the federal government has a
right to insist that sufficient coal be mined and shipped to
consuming points.

The German version of the French Of
fetal war report of last Saturday sun
presses entirely the reference to the
capture of a portion of the Hindenburg
line southeast of Vauxillon. Other evil
dence of the doctoring of allied Of
fetal reports to make them agree with
claims in the German official state
ments indicates the anxiety of the Ger
man authorities as to the effect of the
news from the western front upon
public opinion.
A supplementary report supplied TO
the Monday morning papers through
the German official news bureau
ignores all French successes except the
capture of Winterburg hill, and is
written in such a strain as to evoke
headlines like French defeated on
Aisne in gigantic onslaught" This re-
port asserts that almost all French
initial successes were lost through
German counter attacks, and that the
French attempt to storm and capture
the Chemine -deS-DameS ridge and
break through the German front was a
complete failure.
