Him for Presidency.

sary. Please be assured that my per-
sonal advancement. will ever be sec

time they may see fit to do so. the
right to use his name for the presi-
dency."

COAL MINES MAKE RECORD.
Bituminous Output for Week End
ed Oct. IS Is 13,117,500 Tons.

Total output of bituminous coal
mines of the country for the week

in his statement, was probably the
best production figure on record, not
even excepting the high mark set in
July of last year. Such weekly out
put. the Secretary said, if continued

COAL AND CURRENCY
CHIEF TOPICS IN PARIS
Residents Suffer for Want of Fuel,
Small Money Growing
More Scarce.
BY WILLIAM T.. NASH.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1919.

PARIS, October 24.-The coal and
currency crises form the topics of the
day in Paris. Some of the fuel yards
have closed their doors and many
nouseholders go cold. Most of the
hotels refuse to heat their rooms be-
fore November 1 and all the cafes
still close before midnight on account
of the lack of electricity.
AS to currency, silver, nickel and
copper pieces are being boarded. If
you have no small money you cannot
ride on the taxicabs, omnibuses or
street cars for the conductors ordf-
narily have no change. Shopkeepers
and cafe walters groan when they see
a five franc SD bill. These crises rep
resent inconvenience to the average
citizen, but they must not be taken
too seriously. for France is far bet
ter off than most of her neighbors.
In central Europe there is not d crisis.
but famine in coal and metal money.
Even in the French provinces the
chambers of commerce have issued
banknotes down to the sum of so
confines 90 centS).

MISREPRESENTATION of Coal.

Today l tried to find the underlying
causes of the trouble AT the min
istry of Industrial reconstruction l
learned that the coal crisis was due to
underproductiOn as well as to faulty
organization. Before the war France
produced 100000 tons of coal year
ly and used about 100000 Now
she produces with difficulty 100000
TONS exclusive of the Saar basin.
That region is exporting an annual
average of 100000 tons to France.
according to Gen. Andlauer. governor
general of the district. In short,
France can count on only $4,000, 900
tons out of the usual 60,0O0,000. For
the rest she is dependent on England
and Belgium. which have little more
than enough for their own needs.

the war is not over and that all war
legislation is still in force, and if re-
ports received here are correct the
government intends to apply existing
war measures. not against the own
ers of the coal mines, but against the
coal miners. The gOvtrnment has
taken steps to enforce war measures

undertake to suppress the legitimate

Miners War Labor Lauded.


throughout the period of the war
and during the nations time of stress
the miners of America labored pa
tiently. periodically and arduously IN
order that the principles of freedom
and democracy might triumph over
the forces of arbitrary authority, dc
tatorship and despotism.
When armed hostilities ceased last
November the miners found them
selves in the paradoXical position
where their intensive labors were be-
ing used to further enrich the owners
of coal mines and merchants dealing
in coal by the immediate reduction
OF the mining of the coal. OF course.
the mine-owners readily conceived
that an overabundance of mined coal
would seriously disturb the high
prices of coal and endanger their
large margin of profits.

that with the constantly rising cost of
necessities of life and with their in

cause of idleness they had reach

derry and improved processes were in
voked to negotiate a new understand
ing with the mine owners and which
would enable the miners to work at
least five days during each week
throughout the entire year and allow
them wage sufficient TO enable them
to live in decency and free from many
of the pressing uncertainties of life
in attempting to negotiate this new
understanding ard relation the miners
found that their plea foS continuous
employment would destroy the mine
owners arrangement to curtail the
mining of coal SO as to continue 'eA-
plotting the public with high and cX-
orbitant prices.
The mine owners very cleverly met
the issue by appearing willing and
anxious to negotiate, but only if the
miners would first throw aside the
only power at their command to gain
a respectful hearing and fair consld-

What will Bashor Do?

The general assembly of Colorado
convened this week and the Crowley
Otero district has two representatives
in the House. What will be accom-
plished for the district is the ques-
ton. From Craig's side he cannot
be expected to tear the earth up this
session. In the first place he is n
new member, and in the second place
he is member of the minority party
and the minority party does not
have much Of show to allow their
members to pluck plums and bring
them home to their constituency.
AS for Bashor, the so-called Re-
publican representative, he was
member of the assembly two years
ago and in the special session. He
claimed he could not do much. and
didn't. for he was member of tho
then minority party. 1t is different
with him now. He Is a member of
the majority party and that party
can. SO far as the House is concern
ed. do things, II they will. But what
will be done? Bashor, IL he STAYS
with the majority party OF which he
is member, might be of some. bene-
fit to Crowley and Otero counties.
but then Bashor never has had the
sticking qualities. so far as standing
by political friends. and he might
stand with the majority party this
session about like he stood by the
minority party of the previous ses-
sion of which he was a member.
Craig, new man In the assembly.
cannot be expected to. do all that he
would like to do, but then from what
we know of Craig. he'll come closs
to sticking to his constituency, be-
cause he sticks to friends.
1t is to be hoped that something
may be accomplished.
