of the American expedition to Siberia.
The new divisions authorized by the

Many Miners ldIe Part Of Summer
When Production Should Have Been

Still unrslisved Consumers Ref using

Des Moines. Aug. 12.-On July Iowa
coal production was a million and a
half tons short OF the amount sche luled
by the government to be produced up
to that time. This is the statements
OF Governor Harding, who is making
an effort to stimulate storage C coal
and a more general use by factories
+ and big consumers Of steam coal Of
which the mines now have a. surplus.
Scarcity Of miners. lack of orders,
the piling up Of steam coal at the mines
due to the unusual price of $2.s0 per
ton, and a production schedule set for
!, Iowa mifes far in excess of normal are
given as the reasons for the failure To
so far meet the government schedule.
It all means suffering next winter
! for those who do not have coal in
storage when the cold weather comes
this fall. Lack Of storage space and
the inability of a good many consumers
to pay. cash for their winters coal sup
I ply asgrequired by the majority of Goa,
i operators and dealers prevent the early
storage OF coal from being univers "
practiced. It is practically Impossible
for some consumers, to store coal. This
makes It all the more necessary for
those who can to do so, the fuel Of
ficials here declare.
/. Many Miners Idle.
Some 2,4oO miners in Iowa were idle
the most of the time during the first
and second weeks in August. MANY OF
the mines have shut down becaus,
they can't move their steam coal at
the price the government fixed Tor II
$3.50 per ton. Consumers are refusing
\ to buy lat this price II they can pos
sSsihIX avoid II. Miners are still leaving

IL It Is probable that the railroads "a
thfs section generally will follow the
suggestion Of Governor Harding, made
TO regional director r. N. Ashton OF
Chicago ana officials In Warrington,
that they burn mine run coal instead

About week ago Federal Fuel Ad:.
jEtinistrator Webster suggested to the
Department 1t Washingto ton that a sim

Aot heen acted on, however.
The Department at WAshlngton wired
Adnini Strator webster Saturday that
brick ana. tile plants could use all the

explained reason the order came out
OF WhAhinstons a few weeks ago to pro-
hibit the use Of steam coal by brick
