CITY COAL DEALERS
ARE SHORT OF STOCK

Coal dealers have not on hand and
cannot obtain sufficient coal TO meet
the demands Of the public. It is said.
Tho shortage, however. has not reach
ed serious proportions.
Due TO the varying prices Of the
wholesale coal dealers. no stable figure
can be procured as to the purchasing
price OF coal. The independent coal
wholesalers and jobbers, the ones that
deal in smaller quantities. charge 70
cents more a ton for coal than the lar
ger concerns. Thus the selling price
Of the coal will vary. But at present
the different kinds Of coal are quoted
at the following prices Nut, sii; stove,
$1,000: egg. Si0.65; pea, 1925.

FARGO WATERS AND
COOKS TO STRIKE

Fair visitors to Fargo next week
may have to bring their lunches along
with them.
Union cooks and walters Of the city
threaten to go on a strike Monday
morning at 10 o'clock unless their de-
mands are granted for an eight hour
day and increase in wages from 81 to
SIS week.
Officials of the local cooks and
walters union have been circulating
contracts to be signed by the restaur-
ant proprietors. The cards call for
wages Of SIP to SIS for women wait;
ers, SIS to $18 for men walters, $l8
to $21 for second cooks and $50 to $3O
for chefs, for eight hours work.
A meeting last night in the Labor
temple between representatives OF
the union and the hotel and restaur-
ant proprietors failed to bring any
agreement.
"The union takes the stand that the
restaurant workers should share in
the increased profits following the
increase of restaurant prices in the
last month";" President Shirley of the
union said last night. ''1t is also
asking for the increase because the
wages paid restaurant workers IN
Fargo is inadequate for living"
Eight and ten dollars week is
the wage given in some Fargo res
taurants for women walters, workers
said last night. ,--s,
The majority of the proprietors al
ready are paying the scale asked by
the union, President Shirley said last
night, but are slow to sign the con-
tract to pay the scale. Three pro-
prietors had signed it last night.
The proprietors have until tomor-
row at II O'clock to sign the contracts:
Union officials state 100 per cent OF
the cooks and 60 per cent Of the
walters in the city belong to the or
ganization. A meeting will be held

Washington, July 19-President Wilson's position on
reservations to the peace treaty the sub of warm
dispute among the senators today Those who want
ervations declare that Wilson has indicated that he might
be willing toaccept explanations interpreted
tions Administration senators replied that he is against
reservations of any sort but it considered significant
that following conference with Wilson last night at the
capital Senator Hitchcock the administration spokes
sad "the whole question is the form and word
ing of the resolution Of ratification There is longer
any danger of amendments Of the treaty. It will be rat
fled without the doting of the crossing Of T
far the text is concerned" Hitchcock said he and Will
discussed the nterpretatve and explanatory reserva
lions among various other things although he insisted
that the president is standing pat against reservng his
reference to the wording Of the resolution of ratification
was taken to indicate there might be cncession to
those amendments reservation in the form of united ex
planatory clause in the resolution.
That the president has been searching the minds of
the republican senators which called to learn just how lit
tie they will be satisfied with in the way of reservations
was the statement of senator who visited yesterday
my opinion is that Wilson is trying to find out the
lowest price for which he get the necessary votes for
ratification said the senator Wilson himself let it be
known, following his talk with Hitchcock at the capital
that he Thinks clarifying the council is all that is needed
to insure acceptance Of the league and treaty.
