BALANCE U. S. CLAIMS
Lusitania Damages More Than on
set Interned Crafts Value

Washington, Dec. 10.-America' S
claims against Germany growing out Of
the sinking of the Lusitania and other
vessels by submarines and on account
of other war damages will more than
offset the amount which will be due
from the United States on account of
the 100 German steamships seized in
American ports when the United States
entered the war, shipping board officials
say.
Under the peace treaty the value Of
the vessels. estimated by board officials
at from $3.50 900 900 to $40, 900 900,
will be credited to Germany on indem-
mites awarded by the allied reparations
commission, but as the American
claims before the commission will more
than offset the value of the ships, off :
cials asserted there was little likelihood
that the United States would be called
upon to make any payment to the COM :
mission.
Three of the seized German ships were
war vessels-German commerce raiders
which took refuge in American ports
before the United States entered the
war and were interned, and their value
will not be included with that of the
vessels which were purely peaceful mer-
chant craft. .'-.'

COAL OPERATORS
FAVOR TRIBUNAL.
Spokesman at Conference Here
Says Body Like Roosevelt
Commission Is Needed
MILLIONS LOST ALREADY

Need for tribunal of some sort in
the nature of the Roosevelt anthracite
commission. to avoid future trouble be.
tween bituminous operators and miners,
is imperative.
Without such n body any settlement
of the present strike means little.
These are opinions expressed by mem
bers of the Pennsylvania Association of
Bituminous Operators. now holding n
secret session at the Bellevue -Stratford,
to devise ways and means of meeting a
wage increase for the miners.
According to the operators the pres
ent strike has, to date, caused loss of
more than $21 900. 600 Jointly by min
ers and operators In the ceVtral Penn
sylvania bituminous field.
Views of the operators were expressed
by p. H. Watkins, of the Penn Coal
and Coke Co.
'+The mere matter of whether the
coal' miners agree to ID per cent in
crease is not the vital question" he
said.
at is not matter of dollars. 1t is
the question whether or not the Pres
ident's settlement will permit the miners
and others to get n stranglehold on the
country. If he provides for some tri-
bunal, after the fashion of the Roose-
velt anthracite commission, then the
operators will be satisfied.
"But IL it is O compromise, another
surrender to labor. then the future looks
pretty dismal. We can afford few
cents on ton Of coal to have the matter
settled right.
