OUR OWN ANNIE N.
VISITS EFFETE EAST

Miss Annie Martin returned yester-
day morning from a visit to Philadel-
phia, Washington and New York City.
The trip was made at the request of
Ray T. Baker. director Of the mint,
and all expenses were paid. OF this
trip she said to the Carson City News:
"The entire trip was most interest
ing and enjoyable. Aboard the same
train going east was Mrs. C j. Miller
Of Reno, who vas a former resident Of
Philadelphia, and who recommended
the Continental hotel as a stopping
place. A coy, comfortable room with
bath was secured at the modest cost
Of $3.50 per day. The location was a
block from the wonderful stores Of
Wanamaker and Gimbel Bros, the i'm
mense ~postofhce building, the city
hall, and other places of interest, and
was within easy distance of the prin-
cipal theatres.
"A sightseeing trip in a rubber
neck" automobile enables one to reach
all the noted places of history and
stops are made at many of them. The
visit to the inside Of Independence
Hall was made impossible the day we
made the tour on account of decora-
tive work for the'visit of King Albert
the following day. The kings parade
went down Broad street, two uar
below the Philadelphia mint, and a
| good view was obtained of the popular
monarch.
THE Philadelphia mint is a marvel
OF beauty, both inside and out. Super
intendent Joyce is wonderfully adapt
ed to the position of head of the in
stitution and the force under him is
composed Of men and women of talent
and enterprise. Director Baker has
made numerous improvements in vari-
GUS departments, and is constantly
adding to the usefulness of each de-
partment. Many of the employees have
been with the institution for fifty
or more years and take the deepest
interest in its workings. Jacob Eek
feldt, chief assayer, has been in that
mint for over sixty years; Mrs. A. H.
George has been bookkeeper in one of
the offices for ffty-two years, and her
sister. Miss Almond. has been inspect
ing coins some years longer than that.
"The Continental hotel often shell
tered George Washington, as did
Green's hotel. a block away, where we
often had u dinners.
Washington is a wonderful and
beautiful city and has to be seer to
be appreciated. A call on Senator
Pittman at his Offices in the new

COAL SHORTAGE
THREATENS US.
Production Falls Off, and
Mines Are Working to
Catch Up.

Coal mines are being worked to
the fullest capacity. in an endeavor
to ward off another serious coal
shortage. the Department of the In
terror has announced.

bituminous and anthracite, was con-
stantly climbing.
Bituminous production during the
week ended June 2S, it was stated,
totaled 9.147.OOO tons, the highest
weekly production recorded this
year since the last week in January,
but a decrease of nearly 1900, 900
tons from bituminous production
during the same period in 1918.
This made the total bituminous pro-
duction for 1919 to date aggregate
2l2, ,5S1. 900 tons. as compared with
2S4,5S5, 900 tons produced during the
corresponding period of last year.
Anthracite production during the
week of June % totaled 1,S41. 900
tons. which was also the highest
weekly production recorded since
January. it was said. AS compared
with anthracite production during
the week of June 2S. 1918. this
however. was a decrease of over half
a million tons. Last weeks produc-
tion made the total amount of an
thracite mined during 1919 aggre-
gate 3S,796,0o0 tons, compared to
1901. 900 tons the corresponding pc
riod last year.

CONGRESS LIKES

Leaders State.

Congress Is rapidly coming around
to the idea of having Cabinet mem
bers and experts OF the executive de-
partments regularly appear before the
Senate and House to answer ques-
tons concerning legislation dealing
with their respective activities.
There has always been a strong
prejudice against the adoption OF this
system on the ground that those who
were agitating 1t wanted to import
into the United States some Of the
ideas Of government prevailing In
Europe

more and. more apparent each year

cilitate the handling of the great sup

Congress had little difficulty in dis

But now. when it seems certain that

Extra sessions will be necessary every
year. it is believed.
Advocates Of the proposed scheme
point out that the presence of Cab

facilitate the enactment of legislation,
but will enable Congress to exercise
better control over the activities Of
the executive departments.

WON'T MEET UNIONISTS

Washington-"The very ideaw ex-
claims Lindley M. Garrison, receiver
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany, when asked to receive a COM
mittee to discuss working conditions
of employees who have organized a
street car mems union.
The present age is unknown to Mr.
Garrison, who declares that the union
is attempting to create differences
between the company and its en-
ployes."
The company has been notorious1y
antagonostic to trade-unionism and
the receiver, while supposed to be an
agent of the court, would seem to be
carrying out this policy.
The company's antagonism to Or
ganized labor resulted in wreck last
November that caused the death Of
ninety-eight passengers. The COM
pany refused to obey an order by the
national war labor board that victim
lied unionists should be reinstated.
The men suspended work and the
wreck was the result of a green en-
ploye attempting to operate train.
