Europe needs Gtsf an lies II raN
material, semi Finished as ven g
finished goods, and the United stetes
as the storehouse Of the world must
extend credit to put Europe back upon
an Industrial. buying basis.
Two recommendations will be mace
at the conference, among Others ior
the sterilization Of exchange. one OF an ~

Stevens Of England. one OF the ioun,
ders OF the Manchester Ship Canal, and
the other for a guarantee by American
banks OF foreign railroad and incus-
trial securities 10 encourage their pur-
chase by American investors.
ut is not generally known" said one
delegate. "that the wooden industry
of northern France, before the war
competed for prominence with the
great silk industry in the south. Enor-
nous supplies of raw wool and ma
chiuery will be needed to re-estaolisn
the ruined or destroyed French tex
tile mills. 1t is one of the big prob
lens in the rehabilitation OF France
The power fuel situation in France
Italy and Belgium is also pressing.
Authorities say the world faces coal
shortage of 100000 tons. England
and America will distribute wisely
their valuable export supply.
"Apropos of chemicals, there were
only two countries before the wal
which manufactured chemicals for ex-
port, America and Germany. With the
present chaotic state of exchange
rench business men might be forced
to swallow their objections to trad
ing-with- the enemy and buy German
chemicals because of great commercial
advantage. Another point is that be-
fore the war closed the United States
was producing 100000 tons of sui
phuric acid, for munitions. One OF
our problems is to ascertain how these
big war chemical plants can be adapt
ed to the arts of peace"

GREAT CONFERENCE
Continued from page one.)

and Finance committee, Mr.. Alexander
said: ut is to study the question OF
re-establishing normal trade relations
between the United States and the
nations of Europe, to provide an OPP
portunfty for a frank discussion oil
facts and an exchange of views with
our visitors from England, France
italy and Belgium. Neither the foreign
delegation nor the American commit
tee is in any sense official.
at is hoped that discussion around
the table of the facts and the princl-
pies involved may serve to expedite
the re-establishment of sound credit
conditions, based upon a renewal OF
understanding and confidence, and
steadily increasing production. The
objective in the minds of business men
appears to be to place foreign trade
on a normal basis, and not, except SO
far as the immediate emergency may
demand, to crystalline and perpetuate
abnormal conditions by unusual meth
DDS.
"In other words, the committees
aim is to search out, with all possible
speed consistent with soundness, the
ways and means by which the nations
of Europe can freely carry on full
trade relations with the United States
along business lines, lines economi-
cally sound, commercially desirable
and reciprocally beneficial, These ele-
ments form the only basis for relations
which can be permanent and which
will therefore be regarded as desirable
either by the nations of Europe or the
United States.
at is hoped that the better UNDER
standing of the needs involved and OF
the resources available to meet these
needs, which are to be discussed here
will prove a forward step toward the
adoption, through orderly and natural
agencies in the business and finan"ial
communities of the world, of remedies
sufficiently far reaching to meet pres
emit difficulties and requirements"
While it is a fact that the delegates
to the conference are not empowered to
pledge their governments in any way,
their recommendations are expected
to carry great weight. The confer
ence, 1t is said, has the sympathy
of each nation represented, England,
France, Italy and Belgium, as well as
the United States, has in attendance
an official observer" who will report
to his government and, where such a
course is desirable. it is expected
necessary enabling legislation" will
be passed to put the recommendations
of the conference into effect.
Sterilization of foreign exchange is,
perhaps, the most vital topic up for
consideration. One delegate put IT.:

COAL OPERATORS
Continued from page one.)

the burden of the income tax can be
surmounted.
One of the prominent coal men In
the region today said that there is a
general feeling among the coal oper~
ators that they will discourage opera
tors from raising coal to outlandish
prices. Naturally coal at $275 a ton
for mine run Is not regarded as an ex-
orbitant price considering all that has
transpired in the coal industry dur
ing the past year.
1t is understood that some coal COM
panies are now only reaching period
in the years business where they see
any profits in sight. Some Of the com
panies have seen fit to raise the sala-
ries of their clerical and office forces,
which now aggregates a heavier pay
roll. Companies like these having
such additional expense naturally are
only reaching that point where the
capital invested IN rightfully receiving
its fruit.
/ Nothing has clarified in the strike
situation and operators today did not
generally discuss the situation other
than some said that they did NOT be-
lieve that government regulation would
be extended over the industry.
Operators Meeting.
Operators from all over Northern
West Virginia will attend the meeting
of operators in the rooms of the
Northern West Virginia Coal Opera
tors Association in the Jacobs build
ing on Thursday morning at II o'clock.
Matters of vast Importance TO the coal
industry will be discussed. An urgent
invitation is extended 10 every coal
operator TO attend the gathering.
At Curtis Bay.
According to information received
here the B. G. o. railroad plans to in
stall additional machinery at Curtis
Bay by or before January /, which will
aid in slowing coal in boats not pro-
Vidcd with self trimmers.
Permanent bunkering Of vessels at
Curtis Bay, it is understood, has been
sanctioned by the United States Ship
ping board and will soon be put into
practice.
From what can be gathered some
additional progress is being made by
the B. & o. railroad in pooling coal at
Curtis Bay 1t is understood that the
B. & o. officials believe that pooling
of all coal will facilitate shipping con-
ditions at Curtis Bay.
Curtis Bay shipments on Tuesday
totaled BAL carloads, which was only
five cars short of the heavy consign-
ment of Monday. A total Of 687 cars
were loaded thus far this week, which
is heavier than the shipments in some
entire weeks in the recent past.
Daily Car Supply.
Cars on the Monongah division OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad today
numbered LIP, while the number
requested by the mines was 1872. To-
days cars are classified as follows:
Open, 1853; coke, 8. The placement
| this morning. at O'Clock was 1,O72.
Cars left over from the previous day
were 2S7,
Today there is a 70 per cent, car
supply on the MonOnSaHela ICaNWay'
The placement at z a. m. today was
29O. There are $50 cars in sight to-
day.
Regional Production.
Fairmont region on Tuesday pro-
duced 1873 cars of coal and coke. OF
this 1868 cars were coal and five cars
we're coke.
Mines along the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad loaded 1882 cars Of coal and
coke-1,277 cars of coal and five cars

Horse shot-A valuable horse be-
longing to John King was shot in
some mysterious manner yesterday on
the farm Of Hamilton Gump below
Barrackville. The horse was being
pastured on the farm of Mr.. Gump
and it is presumed that it was shot
by hunters. The horse was found
dead this morning and it is thought
was killed yesterday. Trespassers
are not allowed on this farm and no
hunting is allowed either and anyone
caught hunting on the farm will be
roughly handled. +.
