NAY u CUTOFF COAL
SUPPLY OF PLANTS
THAT WASTEFUEL

Washington, May 4.-Drastic
checks on industrial fuel consumption
are under consideration by the fuel
administration. P. E. Noyes, director
of conservation, plans to have inspec-
tors in industrial plants to supervise
the use of coal.
Fuei administration officials say
enormous amounts of coal are wasted
through inefficient firing and obsolete
equipment.
Mr.. Noyes appeared today before
the house appropriations committee
and asked $l,5O0,0OO for the inspec-
ton service. Hhis plans contemplate
the rating of plants on their boiler
efficiency for the delivery of coal.
Plants wasting coal will be required
to take corrective measures, or their
coal supply may be cut off. The pro-
gram, it is said, will save from 25,0OO,-
600 to $4,000, 900 tons of coal a year.

DEBATE PROPOSED

Washington, May 4.-Less debate
in the senate during the war is pro-
posed in a resolution introduced TO-
day by Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, reported to have considerable
support. As a substitute for the
present cloture rule permitting two
thirds of the senate to limit a SEN

Legislation, Senator Underwood's res
olution would give a majority power
to invoke cloture by limiting debate

DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.
National Republican,

Raising wages and shortening hours
of labor or maintaining present stand
ards in these respects, and leaving the
barriers down between production so
regulated and alien production forti-
fled in competition by longer hours
and lower wages, may be good dema-
gogy but it is mighty inferior brand
of craftsmanship; one which sows the
wind from which the American people
must reap the whirlwind. The pre-
tense that we can maintain higher
wages and shorter hours for wage
earners here by mere regulative ap-
paratus, while permitting the free and
unlimited exploitation Of our markets
by foreign producing interest not so
restrained, is evidence either of the
grossest economic ignorance or the
disposition to regard politics as a
ICON" game. The only effect such
policy will be to make the paralysis
of industry and the destruction Of en-
ployment in the United States more
swift and certain.

WAR MINERALS LAW EXPLAINED.
Kingwood, w. Va, Journal.

Kingwood, w. Va, Journal.
The lack of protective tariff dur
ing the past few years is responsible
more than any other single fact for
the present necessity for the bill pro-
yiding for the entrance of the United
States into the business Of mining,
Most of the minerals included in the
bill that has just passed the senate
are to be found in quantities in the
United States adequate to supply all
of our wants, both in war and in
peace. The reason those deposits have
not been developed Is that 1t has been
found cheaper to bring supplies of
the minerals from other countries,
where they have been produced by
poorly paid foreign labor. Had a rea-
sonabe tariff on those products been
in existence. our deposits would have
been operated by private capital, and
the United States would have been
entirely free from dependence on for
eign sources for its supply. The de-
mands of the present emergency could
have been met by an increased pro-
duction at our own sources and the
necessity of the government entering
the mining field to produce at any
cost the minerals necessary in the
manufacture of munitions would have
been avoided.

WORK OF THE RED CROSS IN
WAR AND PEACE.

We assume that all citizens are suf-
hciently familiar with the wonderful
work of the Red Cross during the war
and that everyone fully appreciates its
services. II there ever has been a
mother for the motherless, a physician
for the i'll and wounded, a source Of
food for the hungry it has been the
Red Cross in France, and American
soldiers have been the greatest bene-
ficiaries of it's tlreless efforts. We
all understand the blessings it has
conferred on our soldiers and upon
stricken humanity in the war zones,
We appreciate it. too, whether we have
had boys there or not, for they are
American boys and the recipients of
tender ministrations.
In what better manner can we give
tangible form to our appreciation than
by continuing our membership in the
Red Cross and inducing others to
join?
The cost is so small it would seem
none would hesitate who can spare
that small amount.
The work of the Red Cross will have
to be continued in connection with
the adjustments of peace, The re-
construction of Europe and the main
tenance of troops there demand it's
presence and IFS aid. Moreover, none
can foretel when it may be called up
on for further service in this country.
We can not sign an armistice with
disaster or pestilence. Whenever they
may appear we must fight, and the
Red Cross always has been and always
will be in the front ranks.
Next week there will be Christmas
membership roll call of the Red Cross.
Answer with your dollar and induce
others to join and contribute their
mite to this organization that is so
devoted to humanity and
that has the machinery to put instant
ly into motion whenever the call for
help may come.

HEARST NEWSPAPERS FRIENDLY
TO THE HUN.

Some very interesting disclosures are
being made by the congressional COM
mittee which is investigating German
control of American newspapers. The
immediate cause of the investigation
was the discovery that the Washing
ton Times, edited by Arthur Brisbane,
who is also editor of the Hearst
papers, had been purchased for Bris-
they having advanced $4,000 while
the United States was neutral, pre-
sumably for the purpose of influence
ing public opinion in favor of Ger
many, and also to oppose prohibition.
The pro- German attitude of the Hearst
papers was notorious during the period
of neutrality, and the loyalty of their
publisher was under suspicion during
the war. The investigation tends ts
confirm this suspicion and it will DE
surprising If the Hearst publications
do not feel the effects of public opn-
ion through heavy loss in circula-
ton. In the course of the investiga-
ton of the Hearst papers the follow
ing extract from an editorial in the
New York American of June s, 1915,
signed by W. r. Hearst, was intro
duced:
whether the Lusitania was
armed or not, it was properly a
spoil of war, subject to attack and
destruction under the accepted
rules of so-called civilized war

sented as between the candidates for

and 3,7s4,0Gs pounds from foreign
ore. As zinc imports were all
In the form of ore of varying
grade, no comparison san be
made between the imports and ex-
ports, but 1t is probable that con-
siderable surplus was left on hand to
swell the already large over produc-
ton.
There is an easy. rational and ef-
fectiye remedy for the very serious
situation that confronts the lead and
zinc mining industries, but 1t Is hard
ly to be expected that 1t will be
adopted by congress that stands as
sponsor for the existing free trade
Underwood tariff law. Under this law
the tariff on lead ore is y Of cent
per pound on the lead content and on
lead bullion % per cent ad valorem.
On zinc ore the tariff is 10 per cent
ad valorem on the zinc content, and
Is per cent on spelter. These rates
are entirely too low, and the produc-
ers of these metals should endeavor
to have them increased to at least a
point that represents the difference In
cost Of production in Mexico and In
the United States. 1t Is true that they
made representations of this KIND
when the Underwood law was in the
making, but without effect. How
ever, the war has worked many
changes in economic theories and 1t
is possible that the democratic party
is not entirely immune to its influ-
ence. Hope in this respect Is encour-
aged by the fact that Speaker Champ
Clark, who has long gloried in his ad
herence to free trade, recently joined
a delegation of Joplin zinc producers
in protesting against the present
schedule, denouncing 1t as ruinous to
the zinc mining industry Of Missouri
and urging a rate that would rid them
of competition with the cheap labor oil
Mexico. 1t is well. therefore, to gel
the facts before congress. and If they
are ignored by the democrats the!
will be already for consideration by 9
republican congress after March 4.
