DENIES 4 COAL
PRICE COMBINE
Bituminous Price at Mine
Lower Than Year Ago,
Saws ]. D. A. Morrow.

Washington. D. C.. Aug. 26.-Deny-
ing that a combination by bituminous
coal operators to fix prices existed.
J. D. A Morrow, vice president Of the
National Coal association. told a sen
ate coal investigating committee to-
day that such eomabination would
be impossible if attempted. Prices at
the mines. he said. have declined
under the competition which prevails
and are lower than they were a year
ago
New Mines Can Be Opened.
There are about 5000 separate
commercial producers operating ap-
proXimately 1000 mines. from which
bituminous coal is regularly shipped, ="
AIR Morrow said In addition, there
are some 1000 operators with about
5000 mines. who begin producing aud
selling coal whenever the price goes
up lite and offers a profit to them
moreover. there are hundreds of
thousands OF acres Of coal lands along
railroads on which new mines can be
readily and quickly opened by any
one so disposed Such a condition
obviously does not lend itself to res
trietive combinations among pro-
ducers
"Of the 5000 separate bituminus
coal producers in the United States
spproximately 45 percent hold mem
bership in the National Coal associa-
ton They produce about 50 percent
Of the total output OF bftuminous
coal in the country.
Nothing Secret About Business.
The National Coal association rep
reseats these operators and looks
after their interests in matters Of
general concern. such as transporta-
ton and traffic questions. standard
ization Of cost accounting. cOopera-
ton with governm entail agencies and
similar activities There is nothing
secret about its business. Its files ana
records are open to the committee OF
any other duly authorized agency
Mr. Morrow said bituminous coal
prices had declined since the armis-
tice and in general were lower than
rration.

RADICAL CHANGE
IN MEXICAN POLICY
is EXPECTED THAT PRESIDENT
WILL DEMAND PROTECTION
OF AMERICAN LIVES.
Mexicans Will Be Warned That Unless
Murder and Robbery of Americans
Ceases We Will BE Compelled
to Intervene.

Washington.-A radical change in
the administration policy in the Next
can situation may be expected imme-
diately upon the return of President
Wilson next week.
The assurance was given on July 2,
by Senator King of Utah, Democrat
and one of the administrations strong
est supporters, who has been giving
the closest attention to the Mexican
situation. The senator's statement
was made while discussing the murder
of John W. Correll, an American citi-
zen near Tampico on June 16, news
of which leaked out Tuesday.
Senator King expressed the opinion
that the administration would make
a demand, amounting practically to an
ultimatum, upon the Carranza govern
ment for guarantees for the protec-
tion of American lives and property in
Mexico, accompanied by a frank no.
tice that unless the murder and rob
berry of Americans cease at once the
United States will be compelled to in
tervene.
There has been a marked change in
the Mexican situation since the sign
ing of the peace treaty ON Saturday,
according to Senator King. To have
sent an American army to occupy
Mexico and restore order there before
the signing of the peace treaty would
have been to play into the hands of
hn cold
