New York, Nov. 24.--In Telegram
o Fuel Administrator Garfield to
lay, former Secretary of the Treas
Try William G. McAdoo declared tina
wages should be granite
he striking coal miners.
The text Of the telegram follows:
Reports from Washington in
dicate that the miners are willing
to accept the wage increase sug-.
gested by Secretary of Labor
Wilson, but that the mine oper-
ators are holding back unit they
can learn from you how much OF
the wage increase they can i'm
pose on the public through in
creases in the price Of bituminous
coal.
II am convinced that the wage
increases proposed for the mine
workers are justified and rea-
sonable. but ! have grave doubts
as to whether the mine operators
are entitled to increase the price
Of coal to consumers.
"In the year 1917 many mine
owners made shocking and inde-
fensible profits on bituminous
coal. | know this because as sec
retary of the treasury l exam
ined in May. 1918, their income
tax returns to the treasury.
Therefore deductions of ex-
cess profits taxes (Which were
less in 1917 than now). these re-
turns showed earnings on the
capital stock ranging from 15
a. q "a ratn
ings of from 100 per cent. to 800
per cent. on capital stock were
not uncommon. The operators
claim that their invested capital
frequently exceeds their capital
stock but 1t is doubtless true
that in many cases their capital
stock exceeds their invested cap
ital stock.
However this may be, 1t Is
clear that even on the basis of
the operators claims as to in
vested capital their net earnings
in 1917 were abnormal. In a re-
port made by the treasury In re-
sponse to senate resolution on
profiteering In 1918, some strik-
ing facts were given as to the
earnings of the various compa-
nies engaged In the production of
the necessities of life, including
fuel.
"Of course, do not know what
the profits of the bituminous coal
operators were in 1918, since
left the treasury In December.
1918, and these reports were not
filed until March, 1919; but II
they disclose any such profits as

France Must Employ
Energetic Measures

washington. Nov. 24.-France suf-
fered such heavy losses in her merchant

ceived today by the department of COM

4 The first endeavors, it is said. will
be in the direction Of placing the diff

to relinduish control on that day.
Republican leaders express fear of
results If legislation is not passed by
that time or shortly afterward for the
! operation Of the roads under private
control. The railroad legislation will
open the session as unfinished busi-
| ness. Unless the president defers the
return of the roads to a later date 1t
Is possible a resolution extending the
guaranteed profits of the roads will be
passed.
Americanism, which has been
struck as the republican keynote for
the coming presidential election. calls
for definite legislation. Americaniza-
ton programs call for the passage of
bills restricting Immigration; compul-
sorry education of illiterates; punish
ment for those who plot to overthrow
the government by force, and the de-
portation of interned aliens.
Opposition by the bureau of i'm
migration to any change in the immi-
grafton laws is expected by members
of both houses The eduction of
aliens and the deportation Of interned
aliens will meet with little opposition.
Senate and house conferees have
the oil land leasing bill in charge and
are expected to make a report in jan
uary
The senate committee on the estab-
lishment of q budget system will re-
port the house bill in the senate
amended to place the budget under
the treasury secretary instead of the
president, according to present plans.
The tariff will receive little consid-
Grafton. The demands of the manufac-
turing interests has caused the men,
bers of congress to feel that it would
be tinwise to change the tariff situa-
ton at this time.
Republican leaders promise to in
crease the tariff as soon as Euro
pean industry regains its poise.
Before adjournment of the special
session a resolution was passed to
protect the dye industry in anticipa-
tion of the possible passage of the
treaty of peace. Congress will pass
legislation of permanent nature on
this question. The Longworth anti
dumping bill is in the senate finance
committee.
The senate committee on postoffices
and post roads has a bill under con-
sideration which provides government
aid to establish good roads for pos
tai routes. Hearings on this measure
will begin as soon as the session
opens.
Regulation of the future of the
American merchant marine. the es-
tablishment of a corporation to take
over the operation of the government
owned vessels and a commission sim
liar to the interstate commerce COM
mission to regulate the routes OF the
ships is contemplated.
Actual necessity will force congress
to act as soon as possible on the ma
jor part of the program. In addition
to the civil legislation the annual ap-
preparation bills must be passed by
July 1.
