WARNS PUBLIC AGAIN OF
POSSIBLE COAL SHORTAGE
Fuel Administrator Says Drastic
Regulations Next Winter Will
Depend Upon Rail Service.

Once again Fuel Administrator Gar
field issues a warning of a possible
coal shortage next winter. In a re-
announcement DIR Garfield explains
that even a weekly average of H.
100000 tons of bituminous coal pro-
duction during May could not meet
war requirements, and that the ma
tional shortage might be as much as
50,000,0O0 tons.
Astatement submitted to the Senate
interstate commerce committee by
the fuel administration today said
upon the railroads of the country
will depend whether drastic regula-
tions such as were put into effect last
year in order to meet the fuel situa-
tion will again be necessary this year.
A definite program for the curtail-
ment of so-called less essential in
dustries will be presented to the War
Industries Board by the fuel admin
istration probably within the next
week. 1t is expected that submission
of the plan will be followed by pub
lication for the first time of a list
of industries to have their coal supply
restricted to conserve coal for war
plants.

j. 5. TREATY
WITH COLOMBIA SCORED
Cited by Senator Fall as Example
of What Might Follow Sc
cret Diplomacy.

Senator Fall of New Mexico, speak
ing in support Of the Borah amend
ment to the proposed Underwood war
time cloture rule. which would provide
for open sessions Of the Senate when
treaties with foreign nations are
under consideration, yesterday de-
nounced the proposed treaty between
the United States and Colombia as an
example of what might be expected
from secret diplomacy.
The treaty. which provides for the
payment of s25,00O,0o0 to Colombia,
with other concessions. for the taking
of land for construction of the Pan
ANA canal, is pending before the SEN
ate foreign relations committee.
where it was sent after efforts to
have the Senate accept it failed.
Would Offend Others, He Says.
"The treaty would make the United
States an ally of Colombia against
practically every Latin American
country" declared the New Mexico
senator. 1T is an offense against
those countries that have joined us
in the war"
In his first speech since he succeeded
the late Senator Stone, Senator Will
fey Of Missouri declared his support
of the cloture resolution.
Favors Increase to Ninety Minutes.
An amendment introduced by Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa, republican.
would increase the time limit for de-
bate on a bill to an hour and thirty
minutes. Senator Underwood and other
democratic leaders are prepared to ac-
cept this as a compromise by the re-
publicans
Senator Sherman Of Illinois, repub-
lican, opposed any change of rules,
arguing that unlimited debate had
caused various reforms.

SAVINGS STAMP PLEDGES.

OKLAHOMA is far down in the list Of states in per
~ capita purchase OF war savings stamps For this
-eason and because war savings stamp pledge should
be as binding as any other contract particular attention
Ihould be paid to the Thanksgiving stamp campaign to
secure payment Of all such pledges The 'payup week"
conducted some time ago was drive in the direction
but there are still many who are sackes in this direction
and there is both patriotism and good business in redeem
ing all these pledges
1t must not be forgotten that although the war is over
II is not paid f'r and that these savings stamps are
par, Of the plan for financing All the money thus in
vested will he needed and more for there to be other
bond issues TO help handle the cost Of war And the
stamps are an excellent investment in which all who can
raise the money can profit by taking the limit and certainly
all should take the ull amount pledged
But even more important thar the part Of the stamps
In federal finance is the part they play IN promoting thrift
in the country They have taught many people who never
saved before that possible to put away portion of their
earnings, That is lesson which should not be forgotten
now that peace has come for thrifty uaton IS bound to
be prosperous, malice at least Thrift affords one of the
lurcst guarantees Of prosperity both for the nation and
the individual
We have pracccd economy willingly in many ways
when the needs Of war demanded it. Let not forget
tina, many Of the causes which drove to saving still
exist despite the signing Of the armsce. Economy, which
means saving money also usually saving of COM
modities and labor If which there is still shortage
Furthermore pledge is pledge, whether the nation i
at peace or war and YOU are negeng your duty your

Then there is the part America must play in the recon

on this country which will tend to stimulate the production
both Of raw material and finished products The extent
Of the demand cannot be oretoH approximately but
the dcmoralized condition of many European industries
would indicate supplies from this country must be large
All Of these conditions and others speak for that super

prosperity needed row as before to for the

and industry is needed to provide such positions
But there is no doubt that business which seeks to

When for any reason that becomes impossible there fol

This is point to be borne in mind both by congress
