Coal Mines Shut Do,U1,
For Luck Of Orders,
Union Heads Tell Hines

WASHINGTON, April "A serious
situation in the coal mining industry
was described to-day to Director Gen
eral Hines by Frank J. Hayes and other
ofiiclals of the United Mine Workers.
Many MINES, particularly in Ohio, were
said to have shut down because of lack
OF orders, while others have reduced
their operating forces greatly or are
working only part time.
AS the railroads consume onc-third
OF the fuel produced, the Director
General was asked to see that orders
were distributed as eQuitably as possi-
Bile, to keep as many men employed as
possible and prevent actual suffering.
Mr.: Hines informed the union lead
e.rs the individual roads did their own
buying, but assured them it was the
policy of the administration to prevent
punching of orders which would cause
economic disturbance. Investigation
was promised of instances in which
roads were said to have concentrated
their orders in one district to the det-
riment of others.

l.. S. Court Asked
To Decide if 2.75
Beer Is Illegal
Breweries' Answer to Suit
of Stakeholder Brings Up
Point for Official Ruling:
Anderson Answers Vets

The Federal District Court was
beer with 2.75 per cent alcohol is in
toXicating.
The question arose in the filing of
the answer of James Everard's Brew
cries and four other defendants in the
stockholders suit brought by Joseph v.
Everard to restrain them from COM
plying with the prohibition amendment
by ceasing to manufacture beer con-
tanning Pts per cent alcohol. The an
swer was filed late yesterday after
noon.
The defendants admit almost all the
allegations in the complaint, with the
exception of that part in Paragraph 10
which asserts that beers and other
malt liquors which contain not to ex-
cecd 2.75 per cent Of alcohol by weight
are not in fact Intoxicating, and there
fore are not within the intent and
scope of the Act of Congress of No
vember 21
AS to that specification the defend
ants say they are without knowledge
and ask for ruling and determination
of the courts.
The defendants answering in addi-
ton to the breweries are Olga Julis
Hlliard, Robert Hilliard, William M
X. Ocott and Irving L. Ernst.
The Interpretation given to amend
ments of the prohibition enforcement
bill have been misreprcsented as Civ
ing the right of search to private
apartments where liquor is concealed
according 70 statement issued by
William II. Anderson, state superln-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League. ];
read:
"The statement published by num-
ber of newspapers that the amend
ments to the Anti-Saloon Leagues pro.
posed prohibition enforcement hil
would permit search Of apartments was
evidently based on misapprehcnsion
The original draft of the bin prohibits
the search of a private dwelling unles:
some part of the place is a public
resort. This protection included apart
ments. The vets, however, asserted
that private apartment could b:
searched by reason Of The presence o
a dclicatessen shop on the street Aoor
The amendment expressly declared al
apartment to be a private dwelling"

Net Operating Figures for
February We're SIO,OI5.-
600, S2.225. 900 Less
Than Same Month. 1918
Freight Traffic Is Less
Smaller Amount of Busi.
ness. Accompanied by
High Labor and Materials

WASHINGTON, April 4-The net
operating income of the railroads of
the United States last February was
200 less than for February. 1918,
which was probably the worst previous
February the railroads of the country
ever experienced, according to advance
feures from reports to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The actual net
operating income for February. 1919,
was slightly more than s2O,oO0O0O.
The reports show that there was
reduction Of 131a per cent in freight
traffic as compared with February last
year, but higher rates ran the total
operating revenues up to $3.50, 0,S44 900,
ar increase of 21 per cent. The great
increase in the cost of labor and ma
terials, however. raised expenses under
smaller volume Of traffic by "a per
cent to s323,235, 900. This left a net
revenue of s27,609, 10000, decrease of
per cent, and q net operating income
Of S10,015,000, decrease of IA per
cent
Far Below 3-Ycar Average
The net operating income for Janu-
ary was $37 100000 less than a three
year January average, $55 100000 The
February operating income war $37,-
100000 less than the three-year Febru-
ary average, $47,000,OO0
During the three-year test period
the net standard return for January
and February was $l02,OO0,0O0, but
the net operating income of $4,000 900
IN January and of $10,000,O0O in Febru-
airy, or S28,000,00O for the two months.
is S74000,000 less than the net stan
dard return for the two months during
the test period.
In 1918, the first year of government
control and operation, the net Federal
income fell short of the standard re-
turn by S2O2, ,135,OO2. With the addi
tion of S74,000,0OO, the amount by
which the net Federal income in Janu
AIRY and February this year fell shor.
of the standard return for these
months during the three-year test
period, the deficit for fourteen months
OF Federal operation of the roads
would be S274,0O0,0OO.
Falls Short of Rental
The government pays the railroads
standard rental of $89O,335,6S5 fo1
the year. For class / roads the rental
averages about S75,000,00O a month
This also applies to switching anc
terminal companies. On this basis ths
actual rental for the two months ot
January and ebruarv would be $780,.
100000. AS compared with this annua
rental of s75,oO0,O0O a month the me-
operating income for January fel
short of the rental by s57 100000. The
net operating income for February fe'
short of the rental by S65 100000. A!
compared with the actual rental O.
about $150,000,000 for these two month:
the net operating income for the tw,
months, $28,000,000 fell short of tn,
rental by 100000.

the stand that their vested rights in
Mexico must be recognized and that the
an.i-foreign and coniscatory features
OF the new constitution must not op
crate, ex post facto, against him. The
American, British and French govern
ments have protested to the Mexican
government against the operation Of
certain parts of the constitutions which
were termed 'confiscatory"
Vested Rights Respected
1t appears the new attitude OF the
Mexican people, and it is believed in
official circles that this attitude is
inspired by the government, is to rec
ognize the rights of all people, includ-
ing foreigners, to their vested rights
under international law.
The recent visit of Rafael Nieto,
acting Minister Of Finance in the Mexi-
can government, to New York, where
ers regarding the prospect of Q loan
to Mexico, and spondence between
former Minister Of Tiance Limantour
and President Carranz@ arc believed to
have been two Influences that have
changed the stand of lAe Mcxican gov
ornment.
Limantous Advice Cited
Limantour must have advised Car
rama, officials believe, that it would
be impossible to secure financial aid
for Mexico SO long as the government
maintained its hostile attitude toward
foreign investors.
One influence is book entitled "For-
eign Investments in Mexico" written
by Carlos Diaz Dufoo, editor Of Gel
Imparcial." The author says: Mexico
needs capital, III u degree perhaps not
experienced by any other young
nation. Every industry demands it
agriculture not less than cattle
raising, mining and the oil in
dustry alike The book then adds
that foreigners are the only people
who have the necessary capital or who
arc willing to risk it in hazardous in
vcstnents.
