HARD COAL PRODUCTION
IS MILLION TONS SHORT
Operators Association Points Out
Imperative Need 4 More
Labor at Mines.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. August 1o.-Fear
that the growing shortage of mine la
Dor will seriously curtail the hoped
for output of anthracite coal is ex-
pressed by the Operators Association.
made up Of leaders in the industry.
In a statement issued from head
quarters in this city the association
warns the people that:
Unless the production of domestic
sizes of anthracite can be increased
something impossible unless the labor
possible should 1t be-the distribution
of anthracite will fall short of that
which was contemplated in the al
lotment made by the fuel administra-
ton for the twelve months ending
April 1 next.
Such allotment was based upon an
estimated production Of 54.345.783 tons
Of domestic anthracite for the coal
year. The actual output of domestic
anthracite sizes for the three-month
period to the end of June was 13,279,-
ssS tons. That is at the rate of 53,-
10000 tons for the year. or 1,226.000
tons less than was counted upon in
the estimate.
unless there can be accomplished a
decided pickup in the output. and
only additional labor power for the
anthracite industry can make this
possible, 1t will be necessary to pro-
portionately cut down on the allot-
pents of domestic anthracite to the
New England and Atlantic states, to
which materially increased tonnages
of coal were allowed to meet their
larger requirements.
Under such conditions it will be
impossible to increase any Of the
curtailed shipments of anthracite to
the central and northwest states. as
had been hoped. and to which states
the promise was made that their
necessary reduced allotments would be
increased should it be possible to ex-
pand the total production above the
54,345,783 tons of domestic coal es-
timated as the output for the year.
Labor shortage has become more
and more a restricting factor on pro-
duction. There are only $4,000 mine
workers in he~anthracite industry, a
number $4,000 less than before the
war"

A|RPLANES CARRY
TRUTH TO VIENNA
Propaganda ShoWered by
D'Annunzio Squadron in
Unprecedented Feat.
NO BOMBS ARE DROPPED

Gabrielle d'Annunzio, Italian aviator
and poet, commanding squadron of
airplanes, Friday made flight from
the Piave front to Vienna and return
without the loss of a machine, drop
ping upon the Austro- Hungarian capi-
tai 100000 propaganda manifestos.
1t was a feat without precedent, ac-
cording to information obtained at the
Italian embassy last night.
Gen. Emilio Guglielmotti, military
attache of the embassy. stated that
the fight probably was made by four
machines. this being indicated by an
official telegram from Rome. He be-
lieved they were the latest type of
bombing Caproni.
The fight was declared to be unique
in two important respects. besides
establishing long distance record;
First. because the entire distance of
more than 500 miles was flown at
height exceeding $1,000 feet: and Sec
ond. because. although flying over
dropped nor a shot fred.
Above Enemy Barrage.
The high altitude was maintained. 1t
was explained, because anti-aircraft
guns cannot put up a barrage rising
more than $4,000 feet. Heretofore.
however. it had been a theory that
the rarely Of the atmosphere and the
bitter cold experienced at such alti-
tudes made sustained flights in them
impossible. 1t had been believed that
AiphfS from n00 IN nm foef
not be maintained longer than one
hour.
All along the route from the Austro-
Italian front to Vienna are heavy bar
rage batteries. 1t had been deemed
by Austrianais<be impossible for an
interior. For sixteen hours, however,
the Italian machines were above Aus
trian territory.
1t was believed that the flight would
have great moral effect upon the
Austrians, who had considered them
selves to be immune from enemy air
plane raids, showing them that the
Italians possessed the power and
means to retaliate for the wanton de-
struction of life and property in Ital-
ian undefended cities by Austrian air
craft.
Intelligence From Rome.
Ine ltaflan embassy MADE public the
following telegram from Rome:
The flight of Gabrielle dAnnunzio
over Vienna was to have taken place
several days ago and was delayed on
account of the poets slight illness. 1t
has now taken place with happy re-
suits. The flight was made over the
barrage zones at an altitude of more
than 5000 feet. The maximum height
at which it had been supposed that
machines might fly for any length of
time had been from 5000 to 10000
feet, and then only for flights Of less
than one hours duration.
1.-THE Italian machines, under the
command of d'Annunzio. made the
flight at the average of $4,000 feet,
covering distance of 700 kilometers
each way "a total distance of slightly
more than 500 milesl in ten hours

schedule. which falls far short of the
$4,000. .000, 900 allotted it.
The committee tomorrow. beginning
what 1t plans to be its final week of
framing the measure, will be forced
to devise means to make up the bill
lion dollars.
To Confer With Mr.. McAdoo.
Chairman Kitchin of the committee
expects to confer with Secretary Nc
Adoo this week before the bill is
given its final approval. and differ
ences between the Treasury and the
committee regarding the excess profits
tax are expected to be Strengthened
out. The Treasury desires excess
profits rates in the present law to
stand, while the committee has tenta-
lively raised them. The Treasury
view is that the increased rates bear
too heavily on small business con-
Germs. not sufficiently effective as to
less revenue than the proposed war
profits plan.
In considering how best to raise the
remaining billion dollars there was
renewed talk among committee mem
bers of the feasibility of a gross sales
tax 1t was calculated that one per
cent on every line of business would
produce between $1,000. 100000 and 81
900. 900, 900. But it was held that to
apply it to every business would be

consumption tax. There was also talk
of an excise tax on tea, coffee and
sugar. A tax of cents pound on
sugar and coffee and 10 or Is cents a

Some members urged a resort to the
tariff, saying an increase in custom

the tariff.
Whisky and Beer Taxed.
The whisky and beer tax practically
has been agreed upon, but for the
good of the government the rates are
being withheld by the committee un-
til the last moment. to avoid large
Withdrawals from the bonded ware
houses to escape taxation. In gen
eral. however. it may be said that
they will raise ss10. 900. and soft
drinks, $30,0o0.00o. There is still,
however. lowering over this schedule
the possibility of prohibition legisla-
ton that would wipe out revenue from
liquors.

are said to be in favor Of a special

this line.
