COAL PLENTY
NEXT WINTER
now ASSURED
DR.. Garfield Says Industry
and Householders Will
Be Supplied.
FORCING PRODUCTION
Mines Giving Up All Gus
toms to Help Take Fuel
from Hills.
FORCING PRODUCTION

There will be no shortage OF do
mestic coal this winter. The house,
holder need not fear a reoceurrence
Of last winters famine" was the
pledge OF Fuel Administrator Gar
field to the country yesterday.
The apparent Industrial short
age will be met, 1 believe he con-
tinued. "and this shortage now Is
more OF shifting of supplies tenn
porarily from one field to another
than a real shortage. For instance,
three-fifths of New England's in
dustrial requirements for the winter
must be In before October 1, while
all of the Upper-Lakes' needs must
be in by December ]. We are forc-
ing this coal through now ahead OF
the allotments to some Of the other
States. whose coal can flow to them
all winter.
However. New England Is 20 per
cent short now and the Upper Lakes
are 9 per cent of, while Virginia
reports a shortage of 40 per cent.
The latter we can meet later. The
Up-Lake shortage will be made up
all right. IL the seamen's strike on
New England shortage Is probably
the result of the unexpectedly large
demands from the by-product plants
which draw their coal from the Po-
cahontas and the New River field,
which are the large sources of New
England supply.
I've just been In New York look-
ing over the situation there. New
York is getting good supply, now
and there is no reason for alarm.
II we are able to work out a plan
we are considering with the Ship
ping Board. we can build up a re-
serve supply for New York this win
ter which will be adequate to the
situation"
To Stabilize Labor.
The Fuel Administration Is seeking
to stabilize labor conditions at the
mines to bring about the greatest
possible production.
Operators who are offering bonuses
have got to stop it." said Adm riistra-
tor Garfield. "A few weeks ago when
we had a car shortage, they weren't
especially interested in labor, but with
the car service 100 per cent now,
they're offering bonuses, and seeking
to attract labor from other mine fields
Some offer straight cash bonuses or
higher wages, others offer cheaper
rent. But they all must stop special
inducements
Balkan patriotism and religious cb-
servance are also giving way to the
demand for more fuel. The Serbian
committee has stopped attempting tc
recruit Serbs who are coal miners to
the Serb army. while II Is reportei
in Greek Catholic Church circles here,
that Bishop Alexander, Of New York,
head of the Greek Church in this
country, is preparing a special en-
cyclical excusing members of his
church. who are coal miners from OBJ
servance of many Of the church's holy
days. The Greek Church has a long
list of holy days. on which its men,
bers have been accustomed to refrain
from work. It d understood the
bishop will appeal to them to work
SIX days a week, eight hours a day.

East of Rheims

Paris, July 26-French and Americans
today crushed in the southeastern corner of
the Aisne-Marne pocket, in which 100000
Germans are bottled up. They captured two
places north of the Marne-Reuil and Savards
Farmland advanced to within mile and a
half of Chatillen-sur-M Marine, which forms the
southern pivot of the whole German left flank
They bit themselves into the southern out
skirts of Villers-Sous-C -Chatilon and Binson-

I AT the same time the northern part of the
German right was cut into by Foch's Franco
American army between scissors and the
Ourcq. Oulchy-le-Chateaua and Villemontoire
were captured.
The third great success of the day was
scored by Gen. Gouraud's army east of
Rheims, in Champagne. All of the first-line
positions, which were abandoned by Gouraud
when the Germans started their drive July Il,
are tonight again in French hands, including
Main de Massiges, which formed the eastern

Overhead Costs.
Why Fish are High.

Mr.. Beach then inquired why sea
bass were 100 per cent higher than
last year. Fish were also sold as
a cheap fertilizer in some places on
the bay, he had been told.
The answer to this question was
easy, according to Mr.. Wilson. The
fishermen had gone to war, while
refrigerator cars for shipping were
also scarce. The demand was also
increased.
