BELIEVES IN RELAXATION
 FROM WAR SACRIFICES

Augusta, Maine, Nov. 26-Harold Nj. SewalI of Bath, today resigned the chairmanship of the Maine Committee on Public Safety. telling the governor in his letter of resignation that he be- lieved under existing conditions the people of the state would prefer the normal agencies of peace rather than his committee for the work of recon struction after the war, MT. Sewall said that he advanced this opinion at s meeting of representatives of state councils of defense and committees of public safety in Washington a short time ago. The generous response from the public to appeals for support of the different activities of the commit tees was given. he believed, because of the stress of war, and that existed no longer. Therefore, if the commit tees were continued at all they should have the power of federal authority behind them.
 'Trhe conference" continued Mir. Se- walls letter did not adopt this view and voted that the committee should continue but should be in closer con- tact with the federal government than heretofore.
 Since my return to the state I am more confirmed in the opinion I ex- pressed at the conference. Recon struction is a work of peace. and believe our people are entitled to re- taxation from the work and sacrifices asked of them by war committees which have no statutory basis

CHARGED CORPORATIONS
 LIMITED COAL OUTUPT

Washington, Nov. Exchanges that corporations which control the an thracite doal fields decline to permit the output to be increased were made before tha senate investigat ting com mittee today by William Wilhelm. a lawyer of Pottsville, Ia. He also charged that no effort has been made by the fuel administrator to in crease production.
 MT. Wilhelm told the committee that the owners of anthracite property had been responsible for the failure of New York city officials to obtain supply of cufn to meet the fuel, shortage in New York, while Dr. Jon athan c. Day, commissioner of pub lie markets of New York. another wit ness today, said the fuel adniniStra- tion had refused to give it's approval for. municipal coal yard in New 1 York by winch Mayor Eyland and other officials hoped to increase the coal supply and keep prices down. The 1 fuel administrators objection, Dr. i Day said, was based on the state ment that such a plan would inter- l fere with the administrators distri-
 button plans.
 1 The committee was told by Mir | Wilhelm that there arc mines near 1 supply of coal but he said the Read
 inf Company, the owners, will not permit them to be worked, because it wants to keep production down. He said he had written many letters to

 en to increase anthracite production
 but the only replies received were
 that his letters had been referred tc

ASKS DATE OF STEERAGE
 PASSENGER SERVICE

Boston, Nov. 26.-Berrard J. Roth well, chairman of the Massachusetts bureau of immigration, sent a tele grame to Secretary of State Lans ing today requesting him to make an official announcement of the date steerage passenger service will be re- stunned to Europe.
 Aliens in great number" he said, "are making payment 10 foreign steamship brokers for passage to European countries, expecting early sailings. Steamship companies are unable to determine when steerage passenger transportation will be re- stunned. Meanwhile it is highly prob able that these prospective emigrants will leave interior states for the sea board, expecting early departure, thus mourning wholesale exploitation and creating dangerous socIal prob- lens.
 q respectfully urge official an nouncement that no em:grant pass ports will be issued for certain defin- ite period and publication of same through foreign language press.'

 The president was understood to have discussed his trip with members of his official family at the regular Tuesday cabinet meeting today. but if his plans were revealed they were moi permitted to-become public Reports of the censorship of tht news of the peace conference were met today with the statement tha not only would there be no censorship but the American newspaper corre

 patches.
 Correspondents sent from this coun
 try will make the trip on a naval yes
 sel which will be placed at their dis
 posal. They will leave next Monda

 FARES IN BOSTON A MENACE

Districts that are already ter ribly congested and where living con ditions are among the worst in the country, will receive the bulk of this influx and will of necessity become worse than ever"
 In England. the speaker said. the tendency is just the other way. The plan there is to reduce fares to the suburbs, in order to encourage work CTS to live in the country rather than in the city.
