Company Alleges Loss.
The electric company produced
figures intended to show that under
present conditions it is losing money
+. A. Bryan Of the company occu-
pied the stand the greater part Of
the afternoon session. He declared
that il is impossible for the COM

sion in the plant unless the company
is able TO obtain money by the sale
of bonds, and that it is impossible
10 sell bonds unless a good showing
can be made by the company.
Pres't Bryan reviewed the figures
submitted during the morning ses-
sion. He said that il is now i'm
possible 10 induce large banking in
stitutions to handle bonds of the
electric company in its present

FEARS DECENTRALIZATION
OF u. S. LABOR SUPPLY

WASHINGTON. April l6.-Wide
difference Of opinion over coal pro-
ducuon and distribution questions
appeared today between the fuel
and railroad administrations in
statements given out at their re-
spective headquarters each without
the knowledge OF the other.
The fuel administration referring
TO the geological surveys report that
bituminous coal production fell off
/ 800 600 tons. or IL per cent in the
week ending April 6. attributed the
condition largely 20 shortage OF cars
at the mines. Mines are closing
because they cannot get cars. and the
fuel administration declared it was
gravely apprehensive lest this cOndi-
ton result in the complete demon
alization OF the labor supply and q
shortage Of coal next winter
From the railroad administration
came a report showing that more
cars were loaded with coal during
the first week in April than in the
same period last year. and that since
Jan. /, s5,613 more cars had been
loaded than last year, despite the
sharp decline in January because Of
bad weather, and the increase ia the
war freight and troop traffic this
year. II mines are shutting down.
railroad administration officials said
informally. il is mainly because they
have insufficient orders or are short
OF labor. Railroads hauling 100 per
cent coal supply 10 industries give
fuel priority 10 the fuel administra-
ton and war industries board. il was
pointed out. and this tends 10 cut
car supply 10 others.

Walter A. Funk, acting in the ca
pacity of chairman, made a few in
troduCtOry remarks concerning the
campaign which is now being waged
in South Bend for Liberty bonds.
He said that with a little more eff
fort South Bend people could help

an historical account of the rise of
the Hohenzollern dynasy. presenting

told of the ninth century Knight of
the mailed fist, riding about the

ing down all those who dared Op-
pose him. He inundated people 10
such an extent that they had their
choice of either following him and
his picked leaders, or being put TO
death. AS time wore on he estab-
lished a kingdom over which he
