Washington, Dec. 2-Government
agencies today awaited developments
in the coal strike situation though ac-
ton was taken in widely separated
communities to make effective coal
rationing ordered by the fuel admin
istrator.
SO far as reports were available,
production in the bituninous fields
dropped yesterday and today to lit
tie below the daily totals Of the pre-
vious week but this was expected. OPP
orators and Others watching results
were told that the government in
tended to stand pat for the rest " the
week, taking no other steps Than
those outlined by the rationing order
until it was fully determined whether
public demand would cause nine
workers to resume work.
Carrying out DIR. Garffeld's pro-
gramme for the maximum use. OF To-
cal discretion in rationing Of coal tc

changing conditions, the St. Louiz
regional coal committee ordered late

of bunker coal supply for foreign ves-
sells. Elsewhere state and MUNICIPAL
authorities took similar steps to con-
serve the diminishing coal supplies.

Paris. Dec. 2.-The American dele

is learned from high authority that
this change in plans is due to tho
failure Of the Germans to sign the
protocol ratifying the peace treaty. II
is pointed out that if the treaty is
not ratified. the situation between
Germany and the United States as we'll
as the other allied and other powers
goes back to the status created by the

is still quite as much interested as its
associate allied powers. despite the
tact that the senate has not ratified

Phoenix, Ariz. June 20-Bequests to
state or charitable institutions are
subject to the Arizona inheritance tax,
according to ruling Attorney General
Wiley E. Jones transmitted to State
Treasurer H. S. Ross today. The at
torney general holds that the tax ap-
plies to the amount bequeathed, and
that it does not become the property
of the person or institution to whom
il is willed until after the tax has
been paid to the state. A case in
which the sum of $4,000 was left by
will to be expended for a monument
to the person deceased was also re-
ferred to the attorney general by the
state treasurer. In this case Jones
ruled that the inheritance tax did
not apply on this amount which it was
directed should be spent for a monu-
ment.
