COAL famine
next WINTER
FACING j. s.
Unrest Among Miners, Short
age of Cars and Other Fac
tors Cause Serious Con.
dition, Say Witnesses.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Entering
on an investigation of the increased
price of coal. a senate interstate
commerce subcommittee brought
forth testimony that a shortage of
cars and labor difficulties were him
dering coal production. that certain
elements in the miners unions were
intent on naturalization of the coal
mines with adoption of six-hour
day and a five-day week plus
wage increase. and that unless prob
lens of production were solved the
country would be brought face to
face with a coal famine in the COM
ing winter.
So emphatic were the witnesses
that the railroads were at the bot
tom of the present low production
that Senator Frelingmuysen. chair
man of the committee, indicated the
committees intention of bringing
Director General of Railroads Hines
into the hearing.
Would Nationalize Mines.
After detailing the effects of
labor difficulties and alleged car
shortage on coal production, Harry
N. Taylor, president of the National
Coal association, an organization of
operators. declared a bill had been
prepared for submission to congress
providing for the naturalization of
the mines. He added that what the
miners wanted was not only that
the government should own the
properties but that the mines should
be turned over to them for opera
ton. He insisted that the more
radical of the miners appeared to be
gaining control in certain districts
and that there was a serious danger
that these elements would make an
earnest effort for the institution of
something approaching Soviet
methods" in conducting the prop
critics.
Fear Further Danger
Fear was expressed by Mr.. Taylor
that at the miners convention, Sep
tcmber 9 in Cleveland, and at the
Joint conference of miners and ope-
rators in Buffalo. September Is, ac-
ton might be taken to further en-
danger production. He told the
committee that the strikes in Illinois,
Kansas and Missouri were in viola
ton of the Washington agreement,
which provided for the continuous
operation of the mines until peace
definitely is established. The con-
duct of the strike in the middle
west. he said, were in many cases
influenced by radical elements. He
said it was known generally in the
industry than an attempt would be
made at the Cleveland meeting to
put through a naturalization pro-
gram, with six-hour day. fveday
week, and an increase in wages.
Car Shortage Big Factor
The possible conversion of the
coal-price hearing into an investiga-
ton of the efficiency of the railroad
administration, was indicated dur
ing the testimony of John Callahan,
traffic director of the coal associa-
ton. Both Mr.. Callahan and J. D.
Morrow, vice-president of the asso-
citation, had supplemented the state
ments of Mr.. Taylor that car
shortage was the most important
single factor in delaying delivery.
Senator Freylinghuysen asked Mr..
Callahan if he would obtain for him
certain specific information regard.

operations, adding that he wanted
that information in order to question

AT THE
THEATERS

u UTH CHATTERTON, who
X, appears in the fascinating
~ comedy, THE Merrie Month
of May" at the Brandeis theater on
next Friday and Saturday, with a
Saturday matinee, has been sur
rounded with All exceptionally fine
company by Henry Miller, under
whose management she appears.
Lucille Watson, a most popular COM
edienne, and Charles Trowbridge,
one of the best portrayers of light
comedy parts among the younger
men, have been with Miss Chatter
ton before. The new members of
her company include Edward Field
ing, for years with the Charles Froh-
man companies; James Rennie, who
promises to be the most popular
leading man on the stage, and who,
by the way, served with such credit
as a member of the Royal Flying
corps during the war that he came
out with the rank of captain; Kath-
crime Emmett, an old-established ia
vorite; Sydney Booth, the last of the
Booths and nephew of the late Ed
win Booth; Lawrence Eddinger, we'll
known from coast to coast as
character actor of unusual ability,
and Flora Sheffield, young woman
OF much promise.
Graphically told in rhythmic pam
tomime, the story of the time of
Attila and the Huns is presented
this week as the stellar attraction
at the Orpheum. 1t is the most dra-
matte offering that the Morgan bal
let has ever produced. That Omaha
appreciates the best that the Or
pheum circuit has to offer is demon
strated by the great audiences which
crowd the thcater at each perform
ance. The music of the dance drama
is descriptive of the story. 1t is
a mass of movement and colorful
expression. The first violins of a
symphony orchestra do not bow
with any more precision or har-
mony than the dancers move in de-
veloping the story which they WV
idly portray. No dance production
has ever found its way to vaude-
Vile with quite the distinction
which characterizes this act.

Practically every day the Florida
newspapers are telling Of the sale Of
orange grove property and 1t is in
teresting to add that the sales are al
most always at good price. The
Lakeland Telegram a few days ago
told Of the sale of the M. j. Simon
property, in that vicinity, and says
that the new owner, F. H. Callahan
paid 100000 for the grove which con-
sists of about thirty acres Twenty
three acres of this grove are in old
bearing trees and the remainder is a
young grove. hTere are also some
acres of woodland in the transaction
but the price is practically for the cit
rus grove. and 1t should be remem-
bered that only part of the thirty
acres has bearing trees. Oranges and
grapefruit will be in great demand the
coming fall and winter and will
bring good prices. The predictions
are for heavy crop and with the adj
vertising that has been done lately
and the superior quantities of Florida
fruit, there will be no trouble in mar
keting all that is produced at a fair
price. Jacksonville Times Union. ,

met at 1890 and instead of the usual
intermission the service was made a
continuous one, closing promptly at

there was a very large congregation
by the time all were in. An unusual
