In stimulating the work of the Committee on Coal Production, the re- port says:
 During the week ending January 6, 1917. the average daily production of bituminous coal was 1,840,000 net tons, of anthracite coal 21S,49 grosa tons; during the week ending April 21, 1917, the time of the creation of the Committee on Coal Production, the average daily production of bi- luminous coal had decrea sed to l. 682,000 tons: of anthracite, 22S,6S0 gross tons. From the latter date, pro- duction progressively increased until early in July bituminous coal was be- ing produced at the rate of 1902, S64 tons per day. and anthracite at the rate of 281. .960 gross tons per day, the greatest output in the entire his- tory of the coal industry, an output. if maintained sufficient to supply. not only the entire coal requirements of this country but also would have created @ large surplus to relieve the coal shortage of the allied nations

 The report of the Committee on Transportation outlines the history of the directing organization for war purposes built up by a Railroad War Board upon the special invitation of the Council of National Defense. The ton mileage during April, May and June was 15,500,000, 900 ton miles, which is IS per cent. more than in the passenger train making over 24,0Oo,-
 To economize in traffic facilities passenger train making over "A, o0o,- 900 miles per year in the aggregate had already been discontinued at the recommendation of the executive com mittee. This, the report estimates, Will result in the saving of 1,5OO,O00 tons of coal per year, and has released 5000 men and a considerable num- Der of engineers for other and more important service.
 The committee on Labors report tells of the conference of organized labor representatives at which they stated their unqualified allegiance to the Republic in any situation.
 Later a resolution was adopted by the committee, approved by the Council declaring there should be no departure from present standards in state laws or state rulings affecting labor. without a declaration by the Council that it is essential for nation al defense.
 In describing work of special com mittees, special mention is made of that on wages and hours, which as- sisted in incorporating in Government contracts the standards for wages and hours already established by federal legislation
 The report says that of 40S persons working continuously for the Council only 16s were paid, the greater part being clerks and stenographers, not counting a very large number of per sons giving part of their time in and out of WaShinton

RECALL FLETCHER
 AFTER SHIP LOSS
He Will Return to This Country
 Under Orders

Washington, Jan. 5.--Further proof of the sweeping character of the pow CTS vested in the commanders in chief of the American naval and military forces in Europe has been disclosed in connection with the return to this country for duty of Rear Admiral William B. Fletcher, former head of the Naval Department in French wa. ters, and Major Gen. William l.. Si- bert who commanded the first Amer ican troops sent to France.
 Confirmation was given to reports that Admiral Fletcher had been re- placed by Rear Admiral Wilson be- cause Vice Admiral Sims felt that the latter officer was better fitted for the particular duties imposed by the post. Similarly. it is understood, although there was no formal announcement from the War Department, that the return of General Sibert was due to General Pershing's conclusion that the arduous task of training a. division in France could be performed better by another officer.
 The fact that Admiral Fletcher's return to await assignment to duty, probably as commandant of an impor- tant navy yard, coincided with pub- lication of reports that investigation of the loss of the American army transport Antilles with sixty-seven lives foreshadowed a naval shakeup, led to tho direct connection of these two incidents. It was explained of ficialiy today, however, that the de- cision to replace Fletcher had been made by Admiral Sims prior to the sinking of the transport.
 Both the War and Navy Depart ments face the necessity of framing a policy to be followed with relation to publication Of the names of officers who may be relieved from responsible posts for a very special and limited cials feel that it is hardly fair to an nounce that they have been removed for inefficiency, as it might serve to blight their careers.
 It is indicated, however, that where there is direct evidence of culpability there will be no hesitation in publish ing names and such circumstances as military considerations will permit.
 There is no case now before either department that warrants such &C., ton. it is said, so far as officers of any important rank are concerned.
 The decisions of the commanders abroad on all questions of the sending home of officers under their command is absolute and will not be questioned here unless some gross miscarriage of justice or misuse of power is dis closed.

EIGHT MILLIONS
 FOR SHIP WORK
Appeal Made to Congress to h. crease Construction of Vessels

Washington, Jan. 5.-To speed up the construction of merchant ship ping and to erect homes at govern ment and private yards. Congress has been requested to make an additional appropriation of $500, 0,0O0,000 to the United States Shipping board. This request is contained in a. letter Sec retary Daniels sent to congress. If this amount is authorized by congress the Shipping Board will have a total of s2,1O0O, 100000.
 MT. Hurley recommended that the autho rization for construction be in- creased from s1,234, 100000. previous ly authorized by congress, to $1,935,- 900, or $701, 100000 more than con- templated last summer. An increase of SS2,000,000 is asked for acquisition of plants suitable for shipbuiding, houses, and materials. Estimates heretofore submitted called for S165,- 100000.
 Formal demand upon the Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet cor poration to take steps to provide am pie transportation facilities for ship yard workers of the Staten Island yards was made today by the senate committee conducting the inquiry into the shipbuilding activities of the government.
 The committee, hy resolution, called upon the government shipbuilding agency to commander immediately ferryboats In New York waters and to take whatever steps were necessary to improve street car service to these yards. In addition the committee, through Senator Calder of New York, called upon the Public Service com mission of New York to lend its as- sistance in this matter.
 The action was taken on motion of Senator Nelson of Minnesota after the committee had heard from R. L.. Bookwalter, district agent of the Fleet corporation, who is in charge of the labor situation in the New York dis trict shipyards, that lack of adequate transporta ton facilities was serious ly hampering the government in carrying forward it's shipping program in that region.
 MT Bookwalter told the commit tee that he had spent several days going over street car routes traversed by many of the shipyard employees. He said that 1t required one hour and forty minutes to cover distance which, by forryboat, could be covered in forty minutes.
 1T have tried every means I know of to get improvement" said MT. Bookwalter. "Thc street car com panies refused and I have been nn- able to get any assistance from the municipal authorities"

The Press on Treason in the German
 Nayy

The Press on Treason in the German
 Navy.
 The Rheinisch- Westfalische Zei- tung, the organ of the Krupps (Oct. 10), vigorously supports the attack .>snade on the Independent Socialists by the imperial chancellor and Ad- miral von Capelle. After re- marking that the latter's revelations are hardly conceivable it proceeds:
 The German people vii rise as one man and demand that the guilty be brought to justice. They must be handled with iron severity. Hesita- ,tion In this matter is treason to the Fatheriand. They are liable to pun ishment by death.
 "In peace time we tolerated traitors like Wetterie and Weill. They were
 the peoples representatives, and sat in the Reichstag. Today there is no one who does not regret that they were not in due time rendered harm Jess. During the war, thank God, Liebknecht was properly dealt with. He is sitting where he deserves to sit, and in the present cases there can only be similar action. The shield of immunity must be raised and pro- ceedings taken. What will foreign countries think of us if they get the impression that there are traitors in the German Reichstag who wished to deliver the German fleet to the en- ,my?
 Our enemies have placed great hopes on the German democracy, but, God knows, the so highly extolled tendency to democracy will not lead us so far as to allow German Reich stag deputies to transsress with inn punity at the moment of the great est danger. against the vital interests , of the nation which they allege they represent"
 The semiofTiciai Kolnische Zeitung writes: -
 We are surprised that the govern 1nent. when it had such strong proofs of guilt against three persons suspect ed of treason, did not ask the consent Of the Reichstag to take legal meas ures, No Refchstag would have been able to refuse it's consent Indeed it ought to have been 8 matter of course that the committee of seven should have been called into consultation. That this has not taken place, and that the affair has been treated in so anateurish a. manner will be explained abroad to the disadvantage of Ger many"
 The liberal BerIiner Tageblatt points , out that any newspaper taking part in military affairs would be subjected to terrible penalties. It demands similar treatment for Reichstag depu- ties.
 If the Reichstag really believes that the Independent Socialist deputies have been guilty of any share in this fleet tragedy it must hand those deputies over to justice.
 The Socialist Vorwaerts says:
 The assertions of Won Capelle have in an unspeakable manner turned the Reichstag ito a theater of the widest scandal. There is no shadow of proof that any Reichstag deputies made themselves guilty of Illegal transac- V tions,'

 Competitive bidding between the war and navy departments and be- tween sub -departm ents and commit tees, has been eliminated by the Gen. eral Munitions Board, which acted as a clearing house; particularly for or ders which involve materials in which national shortage existed. Where manufacturing facilities were insuffi- cient the board has directed efforts to develop new facilities.
 ''The Committee on Supplies by the securing of options, the begging of prices of various articles, the allot- ment of large requirements through out the industries. the elimination of middlemen. and the curbing of com petition between Government depart ments has enabled the Government to make substantial savings in it's purchases of textiles, foodstuffs and leather
 The report of the Committee on Raw Materials. Minerals. and Metals states: Without authority to fix prices. the Committee has succeeded in obtaining raw materials at sub stantial price reductions without trade disturbance of real conse- ouence. Without the legal power to determine priority, it has been large ly instrumental in many cases in di- verting output in such manner as to secure the greatest general benefit. Without any power save that of per suasion, it has brought specialized private business efficiency into imme- diate and effective cooperation with a we'll ordered federal system!'
