All the Allies, it says, are in com
plete accord in the matter.
In varying tones, according to
their political faiths, morning news
papers universally praise President
Wilson's reply to Germany's peace of
fer. 1t shows the complete unity of
the Allies, they assert.
The conservative papers are sus-
picious of the good faith of the Ger
man Chancellor. Most of the papers
refer to the burning and destruction
the enemy is still working on Allied
towns. All admire the searching
character of the Presidents questions

No Confirmation Of Report.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Press des-
patches from Swedish sources reach
ing Washington said there were wide
spread rumors in Stockholm that the
kaiser had abdicated.
There was no confirmation of the
report from any official source. Off
Gals were not inclined to credit it,
at least at present.
That the result of the present war
will be the elimination of the Hohen-
zollern dynasty from German affairs,
is the general conviction. But it is
not believed events have as yet reach
ed a crisis in the German empire.
There was, nevertheless, deep inter
est in the Swedish rumor. Further de-
tails are eagerly awaited.

Increase

WASHINGTON, June 21.-An in
crease of Do cents gross ton for iron
ore to meet wage and freight rate ad-
vances was agreed upon late to-day by
the War Industries Board, iron ore
producers and representatives of the
American Iron and Steel Institute
The new price is effective July /, sub
There will be no increase in the price
OF steel, Chairman Rober5 S. Brook
ings, of the Price Fixing Committee of
the War industries Board, said at the
conclusion of the conference. Mr..
Prookings also said that the steel men
had asked for no increase over the
present prices, which expire June 80,
and which will be continued The
present price for iron ore is $5.05 a
gross ton, fob. lower lake ports, and
the as cent increase is based on that
figure. No official announcement Of the
new price will be made, pending its
acceptance by President Wilson.
Greater Production Wanted
1t is understood the CHEF factors
discussed at the conference, which con-
tnued throughout the day, were the
stimulation of ore production, the
necessity for meeting increased freight
rates and the labor situation.
The government, it was said after
the meeting, though recognizing the
justice of the ore producers claim
that they would have to get more for
their product to stimulate production
because of increased freight tariffs
and labor problems, did not wish to
raise the price on ore to point where
increases on all forms of steel would
be made necessary.
At one point in the conference it was
virtually determined to allow an in
crease Of IS cents ton to cover both
freight and labor, with freight absorb
ing all but cent and half A COM
promise was finally reached late in the
day on 45 cents. This figure was said
to be acceptable both to the ore pro-
ducers and the representatives of the
steel institute.
John A. Savage, president of j. A.
Savage & Co., represented the ore pro-
ducers, and Ebert H. Gary, president
of the United States Steel Corporation,
headed the institutes committee. Di-
rector of Steel j. l.. Replogle acted as

Lower Through
Freight Rates Ordered

WASHINGTON, June 21.--Throuel
freight rates from the Southeast to the
West, lower than the combination rates
heretofore in effect, to-day were or
dcred established by tho railroad ad-
ministration.
The new rates also will apply on
through shipments from the Pacific
Coast and intermountain territory to
the territory east of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio River. The general
increase in rates, which goes into effect
next Tuesday, will be on the basis of
this rcadjustment.
The new adjustments" said rail
road administration announcement,
viii better enable the manufacturers
IN the Southeastern states to reach the
Pacific Coast in competition with the
competitors located in the territory
north of the Ohio River, and also will
enable tho Pacific Coast producers to
reach the markets in the Southeastern
territory to much better advantage
than at present.
The Southeastern states and the Pa
cihc Coast territory have been contend
ing for this adjustment for years, but
the opposition of individual carriers
has prevented sny change until now.
The traffic involved at present is not
large, but 1t is thought the adjustment
wils greatly increase the exchange Of
commodities between the sections Of

The new schedules will 60 into effect

Bituminous Output Growing

Soft coal production is speeding up.
A feeling of optimism is engendered by
the record production of bituminous
during the week of June 8, says "The
Coal Age" when the output of soft coal
reached the unprecedented total of 49,
465,000 short tons, exceeding by 1884,
600 short tons the production Of the
preceding week. 1t adds: "The sv-
crage daily output was we'll above o.
100000 short tons, which amount OF
Goa! must be shipped every working day
for the rest of the coal year if esti-
mated demands are to be met. Though
the shortage of cars continues to act as
bar to the greater production of btu
minous coal, particularly in West Vir-
ginia, this condition is being alleviated
rapidly. There is promise that ere long
the most important producing sections
will be receiving close to 100 per cent
car allotment. The laying Of the car
supply ghost, however, has seen the rise
Of another to haunt the coal operator.
This time it is labor shortage, factor
which bids fair to become the chief de-
tcrring reason to maximum output.
Realizing that labor in the coal mines
must be inspired to do it's best, James
B. Neclc, who heads the newly formed
production bureau Of the Federal fuel
administration, is planning a nation
wide campaign to speed up coal pro-
duction."
