 there will be due appreciation of the difficulties which cannot be immedf ately overcome.
 During the strike the weekly pro- duction of coal was cut from eleven to twelve million tons to about five million tons and this much reduced tonnage was mostly mined in Penn- sylvania. and West Virginia. Wide
 ly distant portions of the country which were ordinarily depedent upon other coal fields had to be supplied from these and other unusual sources of supply. The result has been that the railroad administration has been compelled to transport coal over the most unusual routes and for distances far in excess ofsthe normal hauls This has reulted in equipment being scattered widely to other parts of the country. A period of time will be re- quired for the complete relocation of this equipment and meanwhile it is not to be anticipated that. all mines can
 be supplied with cars to- the full normal extent.
 The director general has seen a committee of the National Coal As- seciation and pointed out these diffi- culties and urges that as rapidly as
 that organization had information concerning the expected resumption of mining operations such information
 be duly communicated to the railroad administration as well as to the To- cal railroad officers There was mani fested policy to assist in this mat ter as far as practicable. It is hoped
 that the general public. the coal op-
 orators and the miners, Will all appre- | ciate these difficulties and will make allowances for time required to restore normal conditions. >
 The railroad administration will continue to distribute coal to protect those regions whose supply has been | inadequate until they can be supplied from their normal3 sources.
 Just as soon as practicable reg ulations in connection with the use of l piturninius coal for power, light and heat will be rescinded or modified and the same is true of the suuply of coal Ito necessary industries. It will be
 necessary to observe conditions as the f situation progresses before definite time can be fixed for changing of
 these regulations and orders"
 l No formal statement was isSued | by Fuel Administrator Garfield. l The first announcement of settle | ment of, the strike was made at the White House, John J. Keegan, of the
 United States Employees Compensa- tion Commission. advising Secretary I Tumulty that he had been informed by Secretary Green of the mine work
 CTS in Indianapolis that the union rep-
 resentatives had accepted the presi- dents proposition Soon afterward
 formal announcement of the settle ,ment was made in Indianapolis.

TAFT SAYS DANGER OF
 BoLsHEV1SM IS PAST

New York, Dec. 10.-DangerS of Bolshevism is past in America, Will jam Howard Taft declared tonight before the Yale. Civil club, because the leaders of dissatisfaction have found that they could not turn this country into Bolsheviki government"
 Mr Taft asserted that the industrial situation was becoming rational and that world conditions would. shortly be settled through the peace treaty, which he predicted would be .rati- fled.
 Referring to the steel strike, the former president declared that from personal experience he was convinced that. the strength of the walkout grew out of the conviction in the minds of the foreign element that the strike was for the purpose of giving them complete control"
 MT. Taft added that as a matter of principle he defined with the position taken by the head of the steel cor poration but that from personal vis- it's to the strike regions he was sat isfied that the strikers were animated by the prospect of dividing up all the wealth they had ever seen,"

 The statement given put at adjourn ment of the conference announced the decision reached and stated it was based on the definite and concrete, provisions in the presidents plan. It brought out that the commission to be appointed to fix upon adjustment of the wage scale and prices for coal will have power to settle internal questions peculiar to eacn district and declared the feature "of very great importance to the mine workers" It was explained that differentials in wages in some districts has been a subject of controversy for many years. The statement also brings out that neither the operators nor the miners will be allowed to change the basis and no discrimination by the coal op- orators will be permitted"
 Attorney General Palmer, who came to Indianapolis primarily to advise in the handling of contempt proceedings against eighty -four officials of the mine workers. will leave Indianapolis tomorrow morning. He expects to spend a day at French Lick Springs, Ind, and then return to Washington.
 It was indicated tonight that the charges or contempt, nearing or which was postponed until Dec. 16, when 1t came up in federal court Tuesday morning, will not be pushed. The government already had intimated that acceptance of the presidents plan by the general committee would be considered compliance with the court S injunction against furtherance in the strike.
 Witnesses subpoenaed to appear be- fore the federal grand jury called for last Monday to investigate charges of violation of Lever act and anti-trust laws by both miners and the opera tors, were discharged today. It was stated that this did not mean that the investigation would be dropped but that the grand jury session, which was postponed until next Wednesday would be held as scheduled and wit I .al

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 10.-A greater proportion of lprivate schoo boys are successful in entering Har- yard university than are graduates of public schools, but once in college the public school boy shows. a higher av- craze of scholarship and better dis ciplinary record.

 to'the Island of Cuba.
Interchurch Movement to Pre- vent the Island Becoming Monte Carlo and "Oasis" For North America.

New York, Dec. 10.--A campaign to prevent Cuba from becoming the Monte Carlo of the western world ana the oasis of the North American was launched today by the Inter- church World Movement of North America.
 English speaking residents of Cuba are ready to contribute $100,000 for the campaign, according to Guy $. Inman, secretary of the International committee of the churches on coop eration in Latin America. Church or ganization throughout the United States will be asked to assist.
 There is a very definite attempt be- ing made,'' said .Dr. Inman, ito make Cuba, particularly Havana. the Monte Carlo Of the western world. The Win ter, season in Cuba generally is gay, but this year efforts will be made to add new attractions. Roulette and oth- CT forms of gambling and worse will be in full blast.
 AS Christians we cannot get away from our Nduty to intervene. The Home Missions boards. of the churches of the United States must take steps. at once in that. city. The better element of the island recognizes the danger of the winter season as planned
 Dr. Inman said that this afternoon thousands of Americans had applied to the state department for passports to Cuba for the winter season and that by January 1st the number would ex- ceed 100000.
 Denial that the island was becom- ing Monte Carlo was made today by Leopold Dolz, Cuban consul gen. eral at New York. He said there were no plans on foot to legalize roulette or games that feature Monte Carlo.
 Racing is attracting many Amer jeans to Havana this season as usual v he said There is betting on the horses. as there is in New York city with this difference in Cuba the gov ernment., protects the bettors; in New York the man who wins has no re- dress if the person with whom he laid a wager fails to pay. And it is lega, Lin Cuba for one. to buy cocktail. IT New York, according to the papers
 you some times can buy drink
 but it legal no more.'' I have never heard of any English speaking resi- dents of the island objecting to racing and cocktails. If they should raise any fund at all in this connection it would l probably be fer more of the same.
