COAL SUPPLY IN

in Event Of Mine Strike Deal
ers Would Be Helpless,

That Oklahoma City, in fact all OF
the southwest. is facing a severe coal
shortage this winter, is the consensus
OF coal dealers here, expressed today.
One large dealer says as fast as ne
gets carlaods in, il is unloadcd direct
20 wagons and hauled 10 customers,
allowing him to get no SspuS IN his
bins.
Another large dealer says hi, com
pany has about thirty carloads on hand
IN the bins, totaling approximately
LOO tons. but SAYS this would last
not more than thirty dayS, ii a sudden
cold wave were TO hit the city.
Coal is being received by the deal
ers al the rate OF about three TO seven
carloads a week. but is fast being
used by orders already on file, allow
ing small chance of surplus stock.
Prices are considerably higher than
a. this time last year ranging from
20 cent, TO 81 50 ton more than 1918
\ rccen, notification OF a further ad-
vance OF 50 cents a ton has Just been
received. say the dealers,
The twenty first district, composed
Of Oklahoma. Kansas, Missouri
Arkansas and Texas. is facing one OF
the mos, serious problems OF the his
tory of coal mining, in the opinion Of
coal dealers here. The miners have
already notified the operators OF their
demands when the present contract
runs out November !, and the opera
.ors have notified labor their demands
would make it impossible TO continue
operations OF the mines.
The miners demands are a six.
hour day, fve-day week. and ap-
proximately oS percent increase in
wages As result, the southwest
faces having its coal supply shut oil
after the first OF the month.
In the opinion OF dealers here, il
such should occur. this city would
be practically without coal within
two or three weeks.

The hand of Mayor Smith has

ten several long letters to Police
Commissioner Ringer in the last

Personalities flew thick and fast
between Howell and ]. A. c. Ken
nedy over a section of the proposed
bill which seeks to give the rover
OF eminent domain to the water
board.
Kennedy charged that the purpose
of the section was to enable the
water board to acquire lots owned
BY the Consumers Realty company
BY confiscatory methods. The lots
were already appraised by board
Of appraisal consisting of Messrs.
Saunders. Graham and Weber
One of their number, Senator Saun-
ders, was chairman of the senate
committee before which the hearing
was being held. They repraised the
land bought by the water works
board at $4,000 and Kennedy said
that this appraisal was made by per-
sonsl friends of members of the
board. ... .......
Charges Plot Against Client.
The appraisal was rejected by the
board and Kennedy alleged that the
section giving the Metropolitan dis
trict the power of eminent domain
and the right to condemn property
BY a series of appraisals was plot
against his client and was confis-
catory in its nature, and to support
his contention quoted F. D. Wead,
at that time chairman Of the water
board, as saying to his client in sub
stance that the properly would be ac-
CURED by the board at its own price.
Mr. Howell holly resented this
and made defense of the character
OF Mr. Wead and a denial that it was
the purpose of the eminent domain
provision Of the bill to acquire this
particular piece of property in this
way
Mr.. Howell was directed BY mem
bers of the committee to confine his
remarks to the matters under discus
sion that were germane to the bill.

The distinction of being the
first foreign representative of the
American Rice Industry as well as
the only woman ever sent abroad
to represent such large business
interests has been conferred upon
Mrs. M. A. Hayes of Houston,
Texas. Mrs. Hayes is now on her
way TO London where she will
have charge of the foreign office
of the Southern Rice Growers AS
sociatlvn.
The honor bestowed upon Mrs
Hayes is well deserved she having
by her experiences as a clean rice
sales woman and her general bust
ness ability been exceptionally
well fitted to occupy SO important
a post. Having for the past seven
years managed one of the largest
and widest known rice mill con-
structlon firms in the rice belt, her
contact with the rice people has
given her an additional lnsig ht
into all phases of the industry,
and in spite of her sex, Mrs.
Hayes is given credit throughout
the entire rice belt from New Or
leans to California, with having a
better grasp of the many details
of the rice business than most
men connected with 1t.
Mrs. Hayes personality, her
knowledge of the business, and
her ability as saleswoman and
executive will attach distinction
