competition existed and there was hope.

THE SHORTAGE OF COAL
 GROWS MORE ACUTE
Allotment for Domestic and Industrial Uses to Be Curtailed; Miners
 Still Out

Washinton, Nov. 25.-With less than 40 per cent of the normal output of bi- luminous coal being produced, the nation is facing it's most serious per iod since the strike of soft coal miners was ordered, according to reports re- ceived today by the Railroad Adminis- tration. In scores of cities the num- Der of industries in operation is rapid y falling while the nations coal bin continues to diminish.
 Officials held out not only ray of hope for increased production. While last weeks production showed an in- crease over the previous week. and in- dications were for production of about 50 per cent of normal this week, officials said they could not expect suf- ficient production to check the drain on the national supply until all differ ences between the miners and opera tors are ironed out by the conference here
 Meanwhile, temperatures in the nor thern half of the nation have dropped, and the cry for coal for homes grows louder. So far, the supplies have been dealt out rather literally to meet this demand, but further releases of coal must be limited if the nation is not to face serious tie-up of industry as well as transportation before normal ] production is again reached.
 Miners Still Out.
 .Ranks of the soft coal miners, while showing some losses in men returning to work, still hold firm, reports show ed. In some districts. it was said men have gone back to their jobs in large numbers, but many mining areas the mines remained closed.
 The railroad Administration report ed that 22,000,000 tons were held under it's distributing system November ?, the second day of the walkout Since then these stcks, tgether With current pro- duction, have been drawn on to supply fuel for the railroads, ships, public ut ilities, essential industries and public welfare institutions as we'll as for household uses.
 The Railroad Administration Gen. tral Coal Committee still is holding thousands of cars of export coal as- sembled at Atlantic tidewater ports. Officials say that conditions are normal at the ports where this reserve supply of coal is held and that no car con- gestion is being permitted

MEXICO GIVES CABINET
 WORRY OVER JENKINS
Mexican Affair is Still Looking Very Serious; Carranza Refuses to
 Answer Note.

Washington, Nov 26-The new flare up over the Mexican problem growing out of the Jenkins case, was given ser ious consideration today at meeting of the presidents cabinet.
 There was no intimation as to what this government might do in event President Carranza refused to answer the note from the state department de- immediate release of William o. Jenkins, consular agent at Puebla, held on charge of cOnniving with bandits who kidnapped and held him for a $15O,OOO ransom
 Situation Is Serious.
 No attempt was made to conceal the feeling that the situation was serious and that relations between the United States and Mexico were strained. Off, cials said the three departments, state, war and navy, were ready to deal with any situation arising out of more de- liant attitude by the Carranza admin istration toward the United States
 In the absence of advices from the embassy at Mexico City, officials were not included to put much faith in re- ports coming by way of Laredo, Texas, that the release of Jenkins twas mom- entarily expected
 Meanwhile the government has check ed LID on the official and private record of Jenkins and has gwen him high class of rating.
 The latest reports from the Amerl- can embassy showed that Jenkins was still in the penitentiary and ill and that bail had been refused him.
 In looking into the various features of the consular agents predicament officials pointed out today that under the Mexican examination state courts had no jurisdiction over cases involv- ing diplomatic or consular officers, such jurisdiction being lodged specifi- cally in the federal court

MINE OPERATORS BREAK
 NEGOTIATIONS THURSDAY
Union Heads Now Discuss What Policy is Most Advisable.
 Can't Agree on Scale.

Washington, Nov 27.-All negotla- tions looking toward the settlement or the nation wide coal strike were pro- ken off late today, and wage scale committees of miners and mine opera tors adjourned sine die. Miners re- presenting all districts in the United States went into executive session inn mediately afterward to decide the un- ion policy toward the strike.
 In the course of a fve-hOur debate proceeding the break, the operators offered to accept the government pro posal made by Fuel Administrator Garfield last night for a 14-per cent increase in wages and no increase in the price of coal.
 This the miners rejected, presenting afterWard a proposal for an increase of 31 per cent, as suggested several days ago, by Secretary of Labor Will son.
 Thereafter John l.. Lewis, president Of the United Mine Workers moved a final adjournment which was inter rupted by al proposal from the opera tors suggesting that the question De referred to arbitration. This the mine workers would not accept and the Lewis motion to adjourn was put and the conference dissolved
 T. w. Guthrie of Pittsburgh, acting chairman of the operators committee, said that no attempt would be made by the operators to reassemble the conference and that the operators were going home President Lewis of the mine workers sent out call for con- ferense of all miners representatives in the city Those representing the outlying districts did not participate in the proceedings and would not dis cuss the future action of the miners in advance of the conference.
