EXPECTED COAL
PRODUCTION WILL
FALL OFF TODAY
Miners Show Disposition to
Clean Up for Long
Vacation.

In view of tn impending strike 1t is
believed that the production will not
run as heavy today as last Friday when
1853 cars Of coal and coke were pro-
duced on the Monongah division of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Re-
gional production yesterday was 1886
cars of coal and coke, of which 1876
cars weer coal ana 10 cars were coke.
While the miners have been in
structed to remain ut work up until
the end of the day mere is an inclina-
tion on the part of some of the men to
clean up their work in the rooms Of
the mines and after the coal is loaded
quit for the day: This at least will be
true at some of the mines and there
fore the daily production will be some
what affected.
Yesterday there was one carload OF
coal loaded bya wagon mine and six
loads from storage piles. There were
S99 loads Of coal for the east and 10
carloads of coke. There was one lone
unconsigned car on the Monongah di-
vision this morning.
Railroads Well Stocked.
Fairmont yards Of the Baltimore and
0hfo railroad are well stocked with
coal cars today and the probabilities
are that the B. & o. railroad will hold
some of this coal to ascertain the
drift of the strike and its effects. The
loading east OF Grafton yesterday was
cut down to S22 loads, which is self
explanatory.
It is understood that the B. & o. rail-
road is fairly well stocked with coal
and reports are current to the effect
that the B. & o. railroad has thirty
days normal supply Of coal on the Mo-

xATIoHALEzATION OF RAILROADS

rr- IE REPRESENTATIVES of two great bodies of the American people have, within the past few hours tax en strong position upon side of naonazaton of rail
 The representatives organized labor, assembled at Washington have clearly definitely arrayed themselves upon the side of naonazaton In the same city representa- lives of the farm organizations including the National Farn- CTS the Board of Farm Organizations submitted report legislative program for government railroad owl" ership
 The railroads even possession of the govern 1nent may or may not private ownership In any ownership and operation by the government is a matter of inc not very distant future
 Such little popular sentiment as exist in ia vor Of private ownership its habitat mostly in the New EngIand Jersey and Pennsylvania The sentiment country large is overwhelmingly in ia
 That New England should continue to favor private ershp mysteries of conservatism which center communities where the of life have been long established the institutions have nternked them selves nextricabiy with the thought of the people,
 New England has every sound for sharing the railroad opinion the of the country In New England Maine, and the New York New Haven and Hartford two great systems furnish typical examples of the failure of private ownership; destruction of the values held by the private through inside misman agement and crime.
 S0O selling for under $40, and brings price hope for the stock has paid dividends in many years.
 ovcrnmen ownership will not only end inerminabe prvatc property which has been carried the United States by entrusted with the management Of railroads but will give the country really democratic and effective system of transportation, which it needs.
 the government took the railroads they utter the necessities of the The govern them, improved hem made the of them demo- cratic, operated them without labor disturbances, steadily been improving the service under the most dsadvan- ageous although every experienced road knows the private largely entrusted with the fucons of operaton did all they could in many in stances to make the government experiment failure.
 There is magic formula by which private ownership be made to function It has been miserable failure since the who created railroads by ca specialists who regarded railroads merely specuations. Government ownership will be a welcome relief.

ARMISTICE
 DID NOT END
 WAR POWERS
Continued from Page One)

The signing of the armlstice did not abrogate the war powers of con gress Associate Justice Brandeis said in reading the decision of the court.
 Justice Brandeis said the govern ment did not appropriate the liquor by stopping it's domestic sale, as the way was left open for exporting it.
 Justice Brandeis also. called atten- ton to the continued control of the railroads and reassumption of powers by the government relative to coal and sugar under war acts to show that the government continues to eXerc. SC various was powers despite the sign ing of the armistice.
 The constitutional prohibition amendment is binding on the federal government as well as the states and supersedes state laws, the court de- cIared.
 Justice Brandeis said there was no basis for the contention that Presi- dent Wilson's statement in his mes sage vetoing the prohibition enforce ment act that the war had come to an end, was a proclamation announcing the termination of the war.

EXPECTING PEACE BETWEEN SOVIET
 AND ESTH0NIA
Indications Powerful En. tente Influences Against
 It.

Dorpat, Esthonia, Friday, Dec. 12.--- (By the A. P.l---UnIess some unfOre- seen development occurs peace be- tween Esthonia and Soviet Russia probably will be an accomplished fact in the near future. Desite denials to the contrary, there seemingly is nc doubt that the object of the negOtia- lions which have been going on daily is not merely an armtstice but has in view a full peace along the general lines framed by the Bolsheviki. The present main aim of the soviet seems to be to fallow up the defeat of Gen. eral Eudenitch by making it impCssi- ble for him or any other military leader to organize a new campaign in Esthonian territory against Soviet Russia.
 For weeks the Bolsheviki have been concentrating troops on the Narva front, where extremely heavy attacks are now in progress, and the fear is not concealed that EsthOnia may be occupied if that country refuses to conclude a peace. On the other hand the indications seem to be that pow erful entente influences are operating to prevent a peace, so that Esthonia as a well-informed observer puts it, is ''between the devil, in the guise ot the Bolsheviki, and the deep blue sea with it's blockading squadron"

5000, 100000 FRANCS FRANCE
 MUST SPEND

Paris, Dec. 15 - Some 3,O00,OOO,- 900 francs is the amount that France will have to spend in the United States during the coming year on wheat. cotton, oats, coal and machin- cry, according to Eugene Schneider, who has just returned from a, mission on behalf of the government to the United States, in an interview in Le Journal
 The American state, as a govern ment,' M. Schneider is quoted as having said, cannot and will not ad- vance this sum. The day of state loans to a state is over. It is essen- tialIy a war measure, and it's cOntinu- ation would paralyze private initia-
 tive.
 "F'urthermore, the situation among our overseas allies is far from being as brilliant as people might think. Unforeseen strikes have surprised public opinion, and President Wilson s illness is impeding the whole machin- cry of government. And there are the discussions of the peace treaty. Those discussions should be regarded in their true 1ight-that is, that the opposition reported is not solely pOli- ticaI. For the Senate's Republicans the League of Nations represents a breach in the constitution. This does not mean that the American government will not help us. It will support every effort we make to obtain credit by private is sue. It may subscribe an important part thereof itself and place at our disposition the machinery which floated it's liberty loan"

Because of the popularity of Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates, the government has decided to continue selling these securities indefinitely. Plans for the promotion of the Nation al Thrift Campaign next year have already been formulated.
 In making permanent the sale Of these government securities, officials of the treasury department state that they are desirous of establishing as habit, the practice of saving so prev alent among the American people during the war.
 Nearly one and one-half billion dol lars worth of these government se- curities have been sold in the past twenty-one months.
 Reports received by Mrs. c. R. Bur 1ingame, statistical director of the say fngs division, First Federal Reserve District, show that for the current year up to October 1 the people of New England have saved alone in Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates the amount of $6,924, ,45802. During tEis time millions of dollars have flowed into the savings banks throughout New England as result of the pres ent Thrift campaign now being con ducted in New England and the rest of the country.
 Field workers of the savings diyi- sion, First Federal Reserve District report that throughout New England, people who never before had practised Thrift are now most economical in their expenditures. Facts show that these people are in many instances the owners of savings which run up, in some cases, to four figures and more. It is also noticeable that many of these investors are people who might be termed as in the working class Knowing the dangers of the proEerbial rainy day" they have put

War Savings Stamps on
 Sale Again Next Year
Popularity of These Government Securities Prompts Treasury Department to
 Continue Sales Indefinitely

away part of their earnings to be pre- pared for any emergency that may arise.
 The new Treasury Savings Certi- fcates, whose face value is $100 and $1000 are d~ily becoming more popu- lar. These securities have been is sued mainly for those people who de- sire to invest larger sums than the amount of a Thrift Stamp or a War Savings Stamp in government secur- ities. The fact that these securities are non taxable and pay over four per cent interest, and are protected against loss by registration makes them not only 8 popular investment, but makes them the safest investment in the world.
 The treasury department antiCipa- ting that some of the rich of the coun- try would like to invest large sums in these securities because they are non taxable, have made it unlawful for one peIson to hold more than 5000 worth of Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps or Treasury Savings Certificates.
 Reports of the progress of the National Thrift Campaign in New schools of New England and the rest of the country indicate that the cam paign is meeting with much success. The treasury department believes that by educating the children in Thrift and the advantages secured from wisS investment of their savings that the future generation will redeem that un- popular name which America has b zen given abroad-'tThe Spendthrift Ma tion-"
 In commenting on the success of the National Thrift Campaign in New England many of the officials highly praise the postmasters, letter car rers, school superintendents, school teachers, heads of women's clubs, la Dor leaders, banks and the executive heads of many of New England's busi- ness enterprises for their co-opera- tion in the work of carrying on the National Thrift Campaign
