SUFFRAGETTES MAY
WALK IN ON SENATE

Washington's militant suffrsgettes
have decided that tomorrow they will
march right onto the floor OF the Sem
ate and hob-nob with diGnified SEN
ators-providing the police don't find
il out.
The women, so they say, will form
upon the plaza "and with no banner
other than the American flag at their
head, and the tri-colors OF wOmen's
freedom, will march up the Senate
steps through the foyer and onto the
floor of the Senate
Once on the Senate fioor-provid-
ing, of course. that they get that far
they will burn the speeches of
khirty-four anti-suffragist Senators
and do other things not customarily
done in the Senate, including:
Stand i'm front OF the presiding Of
ficers desk.
Make speeches on the Senate floor,
a privilege each Senator is very jeal-
Gus OF and guards carefully.
Capitol police express doubt that
the program will be carried out as
planned.

as many men left the mines for other
war industries.
1t is feared that the Spanish Influ-
enZa epidemic will curtail production
during the current month. Many
miners arc suffering from the disease
IL is hoped that the heroic measures
undertaking at the mines soon will
bring the epidemic under control.
Although the bituminous tonnage OF
the last six months broke all previous
records, it was still 1O,S97 900. or 3.4
per cent, short OF the requirements
for that period. Because of the great
increase in the demand for coal by the
nations war industries and other mill
tary enterprises, the requirements OF
the last six months exceeded those of
the same period OF 1917 by 44,31 Z, 900
net tons. or approximately 16 per cent
The deficit in bituminous production
must be made up in the second half of
the production year By a still further
increase in production, by Conserva-
tion, which will reduce actual con-
sumption below the estimated require
ments, or by a combination of both,
the Fuel Administration declares.

Coal production in the United States
during the last six months has ez-

nounces.
Revised figures, prepared by the
United States Geological Survey and
made public today by the Fuel Admin
istration, show the record for bitumi-
nous and anthracite coal mining dur
ing the first half OF the coal produc-
tion year.
The bituminous tonnage was 311,-
216,OOO. an increase of 33.4lS.OOO. or IL
per cent. over the record-breaking
production OF the corresponding period
in 1917. The anthracite production
from April ] to September IS was
81 ,6jl 900 tons, which IS 1,072, 900. or
II per cent, over last years figures
These records were established in
the face OF many handicaps, chief of
which was reduced man-powsr at the
