METALS

New York, March S--Interest in the steel trade last week eentered in the meeting of representative of the indus try on Friday in New York to discuss prices in anticipation that the present schedule will be revised by the govern ment upon it's expiration on March Sl. 1t is not considered likely that the pres ent prices will be lowered
 Traffic condition have improved dur ing the last week, and proportiouate increase in out turn of steel has re- suited. roughly estimated to have brought it up to from 75 to 80 per cent of nor- mai.
 Coke has moved with greater freedom, and the production of iron from now on is expected steadily to ino0ase. The fUrnaces however are so far behind that the immediate outlook is not reas- surfing. The gross tonnage of structural steel out turn during January was only s5 GOO tons, as compared with 205,2 200 tons during December
 Nonferrous metals are in the same po- |sitions as previously reported, with the exception of lead, which has been ad- vanced from [ to 7l5 cents during the week.

Coal Operators Must
 Abide by Contracts
 Made Prior to War

Washington, March 3.-A general warning was issued by the fuel admin istration tonight to coal producers that Where they are selling their output under contracts made prior to the fixing of coal prices by President Wilson they win not be permitted to charge the 45 cents additional given to operators to meet increased wage costs.
 The contract price, whether higher or lower than the government-fixed prize, must stand, the fuel administration ,e- clared, except where contracts especiaI- ly made provision for changes in price to meet wage advances.
 Announcement of this policy was made when the 45-ceut increase was granted some months ago. but complaints have been reaching the fuel administration that some operators selling their coal under contract have added on the amount granted to absorb the higher labor costs

Government Planning to Prevent Consumers
 From Hoarding Coal

Washington, March s.--As a part of it's plan to prevent coal hoarding next year by domestic consumers, the fuel administration probably will require be-, ginning April l that purchasers submit to local fuel officials affidavfts setting forth their 1917 consumption and the amount of coal they have on hand The plan is to hold users as nearly as possible to their last years consump- tion. Details of the plan will be de- cided on next week and regulations wiIl. be announced for the year. Fuel admin- istration officials hope that before April I all local fuel committees will have fixed definite retail prices
 Silver coins being scarce in ITondu- ras, that country is to reopen it's mint. which has been closed long time, and melt up and reduce in fineness 250,0oa pesos, which will then make 500,0o0 pesos.

SCHE|DEMANN'S SPEECH
REACHES SWITZERLAND
Sensational Warning to Government
in Hertling Debate Suppressed
by News Agency.
by OSWALD F. SCHUETTE.
CableRram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland. February 4.
The Wolff news agency suppressed
Philip Scheidemann's sensational warn
ing to the government. but the text of
his speech in the Hertling debate has
now been received here.
"rhe U-boat warfare" he said, was
not ineffective, but it's greatest success
brought America into the ranks of our
enemies in place of Russia. The Ger
man people are promised wonderful
successes in the coming offensive, but
military success cannot bring peace.
Our enemies are just as unyielding as
we are Our government recognizes
the situation. but lacks the courage to
accept the consequences. Austria
blames Germany for the delay in the
peace negotiations.
The government should shake of the
pan-German influences or resign. The
speech of Gen. Hoffman,, a splendid
soldier and man. was really what
caused the strikes in Austria. Our
military authorities drive all differ
ences to the extreme. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the chancellor cast doubt
on the honesty Of President Wilson's
message as a peace document. Why
does the chancellor make so many res
ervations? We are inclined to yield
anyhow. Shall we continue the war
merely because we refuse to negotiate
concerning Poland? We must not fail
to make every effort to lead the world
out of the terrible misfortune of war.
I'VE have serious possibilities of con-
fcts in our own country. The social
amocrats will do everything for the
,ple Of the country. but nothing for
,vernment which they do not trust
cannot follow"
IT Austria's example is causing
unrest in Germany is shown by
noisy demonstrations which
ecked the pan-German meetings in
frankfort, Mannheim and Leipzig. Not
only from Germany. but from almost
every country on the continent come
disquieting reports of labor troubles
directed mainly against the war.

The case is remanded to the lower
court for further proceedings. Chief
Justice Smyth dissented on the ground
that the statute Of limitation has at
tached to the case and deprived equity
of jurisdiction. Suit was not brought
until more than three years after the
discovery Of the alleged fraudulent
transaction.
Tho majority opinion holds that Mrs.
Bradley is entitled to have the prop
erty at 1882 Columbia road returned

she should have damages against the

OyerWhelms Extremism When

LONDON. February 4.-Moderation
overwhelmed extremism at the annual
conference of the British labor party in
Nottingham. Bolshevism chirruped
shrilly once or twice in the gallery,
but it made no impression on the floor
of the conference. British labor stands
firm for continued association with the
government of the country and for a
just and lasting peace.
Only with reference to tactics is the
party divided. One section-a minority
section, consisting mainly Of the inde-
pendent labor party-believes that al
lied neutral and enemy socialists sit
ting at round table could induce Ger
many to give up Belgium and the rest
Of the occupied territory and end the
war in month. Britain's solid masses
other sections of the party, hold that
before negotiations can be opened with
the enemy socialists two things must
happen: First, the allied socialists must
compose their own differences, and,
secondly. that the German socialists
must make their general position clear.
Divergence of Views.
On the question whether British la
DOT should continue it's connection with
the government similar divergence
or views developed. The independent
iaoor party men argued that labor
would be stronger if it stood outside
the government. These men designated
the labor ministers as traitors or host
ages. The majority of the convention
reJected this contention. 1t held that
iabor cannot afford to cut itself adrift
from the nation as a whole and stand
aloof from the national administration.
Undoubtedly the most notable atmos-
pherlc feature of the conference was
the unWonted silence of the advanced
wing, In previous conferences this
wing mas been vociferous. There were
innainmatory speeches at Nottingham.
put not nearly SO many as usual. On
the whole. the conference was re-

from iabor's sense of it's growing re-
sponslbility in the state. British labor
Is thinking of the day when it will be
POLITICALLY paramount. 1t plans not

his physician has cautioned him against

Nr McIroy's other reason for declin

Of the four joint counties. All his in

lists diplomats in Berlin compel Holland
TO enter the war to defend her sovereign

With the Netherlands as an associate

If the Dutch could hold the Germans

military situation soon might become
precarious. Hindenburg might well b.
forced to shorten his line in France u
provide the necessary troops for the de

Should situation such as this arise.
it is highly probable America would sup
ply a large part If not most Of the
troops for operations along the Dutch
frontier The ferrying of these troops
across the North Sea to Holland would
present difficulties because Of the
length Of the journey which would
mean a run OF about 100 miles through
a Observation-Disclosures zone. Neverthe
less the problem OF transportation could
be solved by the use Of sufficient mum
Der Of destroyers and patrol boats.
The danger to Germany if Holland en-
tiers the war with the allies Is well un-

militarists. however. are showing
spirit Of reclklessness under the blind

matte initiative as an accompaniment to
their military initiative. The questions
