RIVER FALLING
BOATS MENACED
City Tries to Wash Mud Off
Wharf-Canal Grows
ShalloWer.

With the river again falling, opera
tions on the Memphis wharf seeking to
do away with the deposit Of mud were
resumed Monday. Two streams of wa
ter from the city mains were directed
against the deposit with some effect.
The work Of the two government
dredges during the past week has given
the boats a depth of from 10 to II feet
in the canal from the foot Of Monroe
avenue to the end Of Mud Island. The
depth of the canal north of Monroe
probably reaches a maximum depth of
eight feet. The gauge Monday morning
registered seven feet and the river
forecast Is for a further drop.
Rivermen while frankly stating that
the present conditions are quite an in
convenience do not seem TO regard the
situation as Immediately serious.
The two government dredges are
operating on the canal proper and
during the past week made some head
way in view of the fact that the river
rose several inches before the present
drop began.

NO RATE INCREASE IS
POSSIBLE, SAYS HINES
Railroads Will BE Returned to Owners
December 81 in as Good Condition
as When They Were Taken

Duluth. MIMI. Oct. 1S.-Walker u.
Hines. director general of railroads,
in Duluth last night made answer to
the suggestion of railway executives.
recently made. that rates be increased
during federal control to meet in
creased expenses during that control.
by declaring that there Is nothing to
indicate that increased expenses un.
der the government control are any
thing more than they would have been
under private control or more than all
forms of industry under private con-
troll have undergone by reason of the
war.
IF the railroad administration
deemed it expedient to increase rates
for its benefit it would still be true"
he said. "that the increases it would
make in order to pay expenses of
unified operation of all the railroads
in the country might he very different
from the increases which would be
necessary to protect the separate rail-
roads or separate territorial groups of
railroads in differen. parts of the
country"
He said fundamentally wrong con-
ception is involved in the claim Of the
railway executives.
Mr.. Hines also stated that the ad-
ministration is preparing to hand the
roads back to their owners on the last
day of this year and that Mt that time
his judgment is that the physical con-
dition of the properties will compare
favorably" with their condition when
they were taken over by the govern
ment on Dec. 81, 1917.

BIG COAL STRIKE

Workers. Official Says Opera.
tors Make BIG Profits

Washington, Oct. oO-There seems
little chance of averting the strike of
half a million bituminous coal miners,
called for November l.
After a series of conferences with
labor leaders and telephone talks
with others in the central coal terri.
tory, John l.. Lewis. president Of the
United Mine Workers Of America, an.
nounced that the miners would go out
unless all demands, including the five
day week, were granted.
The operators. standing by their
decision not to consider any proposal
looking to Il shorter weekly schedule
and refusing to open negotiations un-
less the strike order was withdrawn.
charged that the miners were trying
to freeze the country into submission
by insisting on acceptance Of ''impos.
sible demands"
Meanwhile pressure was being
brought to bear on both sides from
many quarters to adjust their differ
ences and save untold distress. Lewis
said there would be enough coal on
hand November l to keep the country
warm 30 days.
Secretary of Labor Wilson. at whose
invitation the scale committees of the
miners and operators will meet with
him tomorrow, declined to comment on
the negotiations. and continued to
hope that he would be able to bring
about peace. Official Washington
held to the view that the strike was in
evitable.
In statement last night President
Lewis sad a recent report by the fed
eral trade commission revealed "that
never before in the history Of the min
ing industry have the operators beer
making such astounding profits"

bituminouS coal miners In the United
States to cease coal production at mid
night, October 81, John l.. Lewis. act
ing president of the United Mine
Workers Of America, left yesterday for
Washington to attend conference,
called by Secretary of Labor Wilson
with Thomas r. Brewster. president
of the Coal Operators association.
Mr.. Lewis said the only thing that
could prevent strike Of the miners
November would be the reaching OF
an agreement between the miners and
operators representatives before that
date. Even if that should result from
the Washington conference. he said,
the agreement would not be binding
until 1t had been acted upon by miners
at a reconveneG convention. The sign.
ing Of an agreement by the repre-
sentatives of the operators and miners
before November l. it was said. how.
ever. would mean the countermanding
of the strike order issued yesterday, at
least until the convention acted on the
contract.
The miners head said preparations
for the strike would be continued as
IL the conference were not in prog.
ress.
The strike order warns the mine
workers that there must be no sus.
pension or stOppage of coal produc.
ton before the time fixed in the order,
and declared that orderly procedure
must be followed throughout.
