COAL PRICES TO DROP
Extent of the Reduction Will Be
Worked Out Soon.
6ituminous Variety Will Be Made
Cheaper, According to Fuel
Administrator.

Washington, May 25.-As a result
of an agreement by which the rail-
roads will pay the standard price,
reduction of the government fixed
price of bituminous coal will be or
dered by the Fuel administration
soon.
The agreement was reached by Fuel
Administrator Garfield and Director
General McAdoo.
The amount of the reduction is to
be worked out at further conferences
between heads of the two administra-
tions.
The attitude of the Railroad ad.
ministration was understood to be that
the maximum should be in the neigh
borhood of 1925 a ton. This is 35 or
40 cents below the present general
average Of government prices for bi.
luminous coal at the mines.
The railroad administration has also
agreed to distribute cars evenly
among all mines, abandoning the
practice under private management
OF furnishing a 100 per cent supply
to mines turning out railroad coal
and cutting the supply to other mines.
This arrangement is expected to re.
suit In greater production.

War Departments Request Is
Granted BY House Military
Affairs Committee.
BILL is REPORTED OUT

Manpower of America Is Mort
gagged for Successful War.

Washington, May 25-The house
Military Affairs committee has grant
ed Secretary of War Baker unlimited
power to draft men within the ages
prescribed by the selective service

ment to the military bill allowing the

authorizations; and a sum estimated
at just in excess of 81, 600, ,000, 900 for

Secretary Baker won a notably easy
victory in gaining authority to draft
an unlimited number of men He was
before the committee only 10 minutes
urging it.
Notice to World, He Says.
When Mr. Bake& came out of the
committee room he said:
This is notice to the world that
the complete manpower of America
Is mortgaged to the successful prose-

Congress and the people stand firmly
for President Wilson's prosecution OF
the war, embodying as II does the
Of
to victory"
AT the War department after his
return from the capitol, Secretary
Baker made the following statement:
81 have been down to the House
appropriations committee on the ques-
tion of the appropriations bill for
1888. The only question remaining
under consideration in the House is
the question of the size of the army.
The question is whether to put a limit
on 1t, and If so, what limit. | urged
the committee to put no limit; but to
authorize the President, In the terms
granted him by the act of May 1S.
1917, to use such number as he found
| IL possible to organize, train and
equip so as to bring the war to a
successful conclusion.
No Change in Draft Age.
THE committee seemed to be very
generous in their consideration of the
suggestion, and II rather looked as
| thoueh that was the way IL wished
the thing would be done
They asked at the House commit
tee meeting whether | had prepared
any change in the draft age, and |
said ] had not.
\ "The subject of using men in In
dustrial pursuits was not mentioned" !"
The committee report was unani
nous. Chairman Dent. who previ
ously had said he would support nc
indefinite items or powers" changed
his mind and will lead the fight fol-
the bill on the floor.
A campaign is under way by com
mittee members to have the House
vote unanimously for the measure. Il
will come up in the next day or sc
and hold preferred place on the cal
endar until passed.
Chairman Dent said that he knew
of not one individual who would op
pose or delay its passage.
