Will make it impossible to produce and
ship coal in excess of or even up to the
minimum of 1924 ! 900 tons Of bitumin-
Gus weekly.
SO this is the time to win.
This is the time when the coal ad
mlnistration will prove whether it has
the ability and the leadership to rise to
great emergency.
The situation may be saved later by
conservation; it can be turned now into
one Of the great industrial victories Of
the war by production.
Whatever it was some months ago
and whatever it may be some months
later, production is now the great
factor. That is why the coal operators
are almost frantic as they see the weeks
slipping by without action by the Pres-
cent on their programme of June 81.
DespaWlng of its adoption, they met in
Washington Monday to draft an alter
native programme.
1t might properly be asked why the
operators are so concerned about push

IN such a great increase of output

State Department Would
Send Palmer's Men Into
Allied Countries
Diplomats Oppose 1t
Proposal to Wipe Out All
Taint of Teuton Control
Is Misunderstood
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Pressure
is being brought by the State Depart
ment on ali those Southern and Cen
tral American countries which have de-
ciared war on Germany to permit A.
Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property Gus
todlan for the United States, to send
MS aids to supervise the confscation
or taking over temporarily, as the case
may be, of enemy owned property in
those countries
This was explained by a State De-
partment official to-day, when the uues-
ton was fatty put to him, on the
ground that this government desired
that the work of taking over the Ger
man owned property in the South and
central American countries should be
very thorough.
Some Of the South Americans and
Central Americans think the United
States wants to protect some of the in
terests and wishes to soften the rigor
with which they may act" he was told.
We'll, they may think that" he re-
Piled, but the truth is we are afraid it
may not be rigorous enough, and we
want the German-controlled business
on the American continents thoroughly
rooted out"
Many Of the Central American diplo.
mats particularly are resentful at the
lnslstence of the United States. Some
OF the ENJOYS, approaching tficials OF
the State Department on other matters
entirely, have had their attention called
to the fact that there is pending be.
lore tnelr governments a request from
the United States for permission to
send trained men" in the work of TAX
ing over alien property to COOPERATE
with their officials
The intimation conveyed to their rem
resentatives, verbally, has been. ac-
cordng to ther stories, a little more
blunt than the notes dispatched to
their governments through diplomatic
channels. Some of them have told me
that 1T practically amounted to a de-.
mand. Most of them are vigorously
opposed, in secret, to the proposal.
They do not wish "any of Mitchell
Palmer's young men," as they put it,
prylng into their business.
Not all of them are anxious for anv
publicity as to the handling of the
German s property. Some agents here
of the republics to the south who are
not connected with their Official en-
bassles, are quite frank in their hope
tnat the property may never revert.
even after the war, to German hands
The State Department, however, has
no idea. according to officials TO-DAY,
OF interfering in order to prevent
claims by the German government after
the war. and subsequent trouble be-
tween Germany and eny of the smaller
countries which might implicate the
United States via the Monroe Doctrine
1hey profess only to be anxious that
publics make q thorough job of the
business in hand.

Books and Papers Seized
in Crusade Against
Seditious Unionism
Radical Editors aiken
Arrests Follow Outing Ten Days
Ago, at Which u. S. Was
Denounced

Inc governments crusade to destroy
the power of Teutonic influence in in
oustrlal unlonlsm was continued yester-
Gay when agents of the Department of
justice, acting under instructions from
Chlef Charles F. De Woody, raided the
headquarters of the Hungarian branch
OF the l.. w. W.. at 1867 Second Ave
nue., and took into custody seven of
the members.
Inc ralding party, led by Agent R
w. Finch, broke into the Headquarters
while business session was on, and
after arresting the seven radicals
selzed the books and files of the or
ganlzatlon, which now are being ex-
ahmed by the Department of Justice
Inc men were examined yesterday and
are being held as enemy aliens, In
dictments may be asked for.
rive OF the men apprehended were
associated in the publication of rad
lcal Hungarian weekly called "Kuz-
delem." Recent issues Of this paper
have contained editorials bitterly at
tacking the war programme and urg-
ing readers to become members of
industrial unions, because industrial
unlonlsm was against war.
lhe following is list of the Hun
garlans taken in the raid:
David Newman, twenty-six, of 100
East l68th Street, The Bronx; Lads-
laus Fishbein, twenty-one, of 423 East
Eighty first Street; Louis Goldberger
thlrty-three, of 131 Edgecombe Ave
nue.; Louis Macy, thirty-one, of 423
East Eighty first Street; Louis Left
ovitz, thirty-three, of 435 East Seventy
second Street; Sander Budai, twenty
seven, whose address is unknown, and
Julius Pasztelyak, thirty-three. of 1e6
Fourth Street
Five Prisoners Dangerous
The first five are considered the most
important Of the prisoners. Nagy is
secretary of the local Hungarian /. W.
w., and had important data of the or
ganlzation in his possession when
seized.
Newman, or Neumann, is a brother
OF Andrew Newman, present leader of
the |. W. W. in Chicago. Andrew New
man ma directs the Hungarian and l. W.
W. propaganda in the Middle West
From certain information now in the
hands OF the officials it may develop
that the work in the New York district
is being carried on by David Newman.
Louis Goldberger was an editorial
writer. on the paper, and in its last
issue he denounced the methods of the
Department of Justice in "robbinc'
the l. w. w. headquarters in New
Brunswick of valuable papers. Lefto-
vitz also wrote editorials and is con-
sldered the only one Of the group who
had any knowledge of newspaper work.
The men defendants conducted an
outing at Juniper Park about ten days
ago, at which about 1000 radicals
gathered and denounced the govern
ment and everything American.
If the evidence against the group is
not considered sufficient for criminal
prosecution they will be turned over
to the Enemy Alien Bureau for in
ternment and deportation after the
war.

Coal Is Used Up as
Quickly as Delivered

he answer is that the operators are
convinced that fuel administration has
uhderest!mated the minimum REQUIRE
ments Of the country. In all their ex~
perlence they have never seen such a
rapid sbsorption of coal as it comes
from the mines, coupled with such an
utterly unsatlsfied demand.
"A. k. Hamilton, a coal operator of
rlt'sburgh, who is chairman of tho
PRODUCTION committee of the National
Noal Association, tells me that to his
personal knowled ge many great essen
"a! industries are having the greatest
oificulty even now in securing coal. in
sne lace of the fact that the mines are
opouting the black rocks at an unpre-
Sseoehted rate. In a minor way, the
