BLAMES EXCESS MINING OF COAL
 FOR SITUATION
Editor Says Even Distribu- tion of Operation and Buy
 ing Would Solve Problem.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 29.---It was asserted here last night that a radical change in the coal mining industry, with 8 probable breaking up of it's system of collective bargaining, is ex- tremely likely if the Administration stands on it's decision.
 Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, in discussing the economic side of mining yester- day, said the public was paying high prices for coal, not through miners wages but because of the difference between production cost in Iow-cost and htgh-cost mines. There are more mines in the country than should be operated under normal conditions" he said. Hundreds of new operations were opened during the war to take advantage of prices"
 It might cost $1 g. ton to produce coal in some mines and $50 or more in others. Under present conditions the high-cost mine could go and this made for excess operations.
 The remedy for the uneconomic sit uation was the distributing of mine operation and of purchasing by the public over the entire year. Fewer produce the coal needed for normal times if steady work were given to miners and the buying of coal were more evenly distributed throughout the year.

R0UMAN|ANS
 ARE GIVEN TO USE OF PERFUME

Bucharest, Nov. 29-The Rumanian, at least the city resident, is extreme ly fond of perfume, scented soap, rouge, osmetics and other artificial aids to beauty. This applies not only to the women, but to the men.
 The average young Rumanian ar my officer is scented, powdered, rouged. and often, it is said, corset ed! His habits mark him for 8 good deal of ratlery on the part of for eign officers and visitors. In dress he is as fauItless as Beau Brummel and in manner as polite as a Lord Chesterfield. He is seen at his best on Saturday or Sunday afternoon on the CaIae Victoria (the Fifth avenue of Bucharest.)
 Dressed in a sky-blue uniform, gaudily trimmed with red, high-pat- ent leather boots with silvered spurs that clink musically as he walks, glistening sword at his side, white kid gloves and military decorations he makes Q striking figure.

 The governors call was for 1000 men.
 In addition to the force in the gov Commissioner. who Is mobilizing the workmen, had an extra force at work listing the applications as they came in.
 In Governor Aliens private off1ce the long distance telephone is work ing overtime. Governor Allen is de- voting himself particularly to helping General Martin in the work of pre- paration for the men when they ar rive at Pittsburg, Kan. Nothing is to be lacking for the comfort and care of the men who volunteer.
 Offers of help and equipment con- tinue to come in from grading outfits, and from men who have had experi- ence in the work. Only one class of labor needed appeared last evening to be lacking, and that is experts to man the big strip shovels.

MILFORD NEVIS

There is to be a most interesting event at the Plymouth church on Thursday evening of next week when Timothy Lew of Yale and Columbia will appear and make an address. He recently attended the National Coun- ell of Congregationalists held at Grand Rapids, Mich, and is said by several who were present to have made the most effective address of those given by different speakers on that occasion He is particularly in terested in the Shantung question, and will doubtless discuss that phase of the treaty that has just been re- jected by the United States Senate.
 On Sunday, at the above church, the pulpit will be occupied on Sun day morning by MT. Saxton, county secretary of the Y. M. c. A. of Fair field county. His appearance has nothing to do with the local com munity question. In the evening there will be a musical.

Stocks of Chamois in
This Country Firmly Held

American chamois manufacturers
have the domestic market to themselve.
at present, as this commodity has not
peen received in large quantities from
france since last spring. 1t is report
ed that there is fairly large stock of
chamois on hand here, but that con-
sumers have been placing only small
orders to cover their current REQUIRE
ments, awaiting a reduction in price
before buying on the large quantity
basis that prevailed before the war.
Prices on chamois have advanced
about 100 per cent during the last four
years, and with the signing of the
armistice the government released
about $1,oo0ooo worth of goods, but
manufacturers maintain that present
prices will continue for some time to
come. They base their opinion on the
shortage of raw material, chamois be-
ing made from sheep and goat skins, of
which there is decided scarcity
During the time the United States
was at war the government requisi-
toned all chamois in sizes from 13 by
16 inches to 26 by % inches and used
this material in the making of coat
Innings and caps for aviators. as we'll
as for gasolene strainers. Only the
poorer quality chamois was permitted
to pass through the manufacturer to
the consumer.

can Dye Makers

Exports Of American dyestuffs to
Australia, now barred by the latter
country, increased steadily during the
war period. Americas share of the
9350,O00 annual consumption Of colors
by the Australians rose from $16,725
in 1919 TO $72,50o in 1917. The in
creased use Of American dyestuffs in
Australia encouraged manufacturers
in this country to look upon that mar
ket as one Of the large outlets, but
since the placing Of the embargo they
have become apprehensive because the
example set by the Australian govern
ment might be followed by other Brit
ish dependencies.
The growth Of the industry in this
country is shown in the figures COM
piled by the National City Bank Of

for the years 1917 and 1918. In the
former period seventy countries
bought dyes in the United States,

Sho,Un in Market for
Rough Cott0 nCo0ds

A tour through the white goods dis
trict yesterday revealed strong dis
position on the part of commission
encouraging trading conditions. The
market for rough cotton goods, which
displayed animation last week gave
further evidence of renewed activity.
Prices again advanced, the general
level being up about one cent yard
within weeks time, and buyers
seemed to be reaching out for goods
at the higher levels. Instances came
to light during the day where the mills
preferred to turn down orders rather
than shade prices, and some of the
better circumstanced mills seemed
averse to taking orders for far future
delivery. This, it is held, presages ex
pectations of higher prices later on.
The action of raw cotton improved
prospects for exports, and rumors dur
ing the day that the strike of harbor
workers at Buneos Ayres had been
settled combined to produce more
cheerful feeling among the mill agents.
loudly asserting that prices would
have to be drastically cut, irrespective
Of the price of raw cotton, if anything
like large buying movement was to
come to pass, were inclined to take a
different view.
While the improvement that has been
reflected in the market for basic manu-
features has not yet passed in liberal
way to the bleached goods lines, some of
the mills seem satisfied with the better
volume of business they were enabled to
book during the day. 1t was asserted that
improvement always starts with the
unfinished fabrics and that within a
short time the process extends to the
finished products. 1t was reported that
road statesmen had sent in some large
sized orders, and that demand for fine
combed goods, principally voiles, lawns
and corded materials, all Of which are
used in women's garments, indicated
marked improvement. Eastern mills
are said to be we'll sold up on fine
staple ginghams, and that they are not
anxious about taking much more bust
ness. Southern producers, most Of
whom revised prices downward a short
time ago, also assert that they have
booked satisfactory volume Of bust
ness.
