Report on Alleged Atrocities

NEW YORK, July IA report
of alleged Japanese atrocities in
Korea was made public today at the
headquarters of the Presbyterian
Church of America. 1t is a result of
an investigation by representatives of
the church following the imprison-
ment of some of its missionaries by
Japanese authorities. The informa-
tion from Korea was transmitted by
such means that it escaped the Jap
anese censors. The report, which is
several thousand words in length, re-
fers to Korea as another Belgium"
A signed statement by an American
resident in Korea dated April %, 1919,
sad that "the examination of women
who have been arrested for their ac-
tivity in the independence movement
is the most disgraceful and humiliat-
ing possible. Korean and Chinese
women" he added, have the same
feeling of delicacy as Europeans" He
accused the Japanese of taking ad-
vantage of this situation to increase
the distress of women prisoners forced
to undergo examination by the police
and says cultured and refined Korean
women were subjected to the grossest
indignitieS.

oliver Loading Company is In
cluded in Plants That Have
Been Sold

Several of the large plants in
the vicinity of this city which
were built for the manufacture of
munitions during the war, have
been purchased by concerns en-
gagged in the manufacture of
peace time products. The largest
plant to be taken over up to this
time is that of the Oliver Loading
Company at Runyon. Two other
plants that have also changed
hands are the New Jersey Glue
Company at Sewaren and the Ma
tional Synthetic Company at
Fords.
The Oliver Loading Company was
taken over by the Zemitherm Com
pany of Newark on June 2, and
changes to the plant that are neces-
sary before the concern can begin
operations are now being made. 1t
was said at the plant yesterday that
1t would be about two weeks before
the place would again be in opera
ton.
The Zemitherm Company are man
ufacturers of fireproof building ma
terial, flooring and pipes. 1t is a half
million dollar corporation which
started business about five years ago.
So great has become the demand for
the products of this concern that it
was found impossible to fill the Or
ders and so the plant of the Oliver
Loading Company was added. When
the plant begins operation it will en-
ploy about ninety people, and others
will be added from time to time.
The plant of the New Jersey Glue
/ Company at Sewaren has been pur-
chased by the ]. HI. G. X. Eagle In
corporated, silk manufacturers. The
general offices of this concern are
located at Shamokin, Pa. The COM
pany also has plants at Paterson and
throughout the state of Pennsylva-
mia. The plant at Sewaren will be
devoted to dye works, all the silks
being dyed at this plant. 1t was said
at the plant yesterday that it would
take about eight weeks to recon-
struct the buildings for the new busi-
ness. The concern will employ about
125 people, about half of them being
girls. The vice president of the COM
pany is J. c. Brown of Sewaren.
The plant of the National Synthetic
Company at Fords has been purchased
by McKesson e. Robbins druggists at
81 Fulton street New York city. 1t
was impossible to learn anything con-
corning the future of the plant at the
he III
Office was asked concerning the plant,
the person who gives out the desired
information could not be seen. 1t is
thought, however, that the plant will
be devoted to the manufacture of
drugs and chemicals.

PRICE Of COAL.
WILL INCREASE
DEALERS SAY
Consumers Are Advised to Lay
In Supply Now Before
Shortage

Uncertainty as to the future OF
the coal supply of anthracite for
domestic use was expressed by coal
dealers in this city today when
asked about conditions to be ex-
pected through the summer and
fall.
One of the principal dealers
told the EVENING NEWS that
there is very serious shortage
of hard coal at the present time
and that shortage is to be looked
for this winter. Another declared
that just the opposite was the case
and that he had on hand suffi-
cient coal to supply all demands
at present.
Reports that soft bituminous
coal was plentiful were received
from all the dealers.
Prices on hard coal are to remain
the same throughout the summer un-
til September unless there is an in
crease in the freight rates, it is said.
After September l a slight advance
may be expected. At present the
wholesalers are jacking up the prices
to the retailers at the rate of ten
cents per month.
Whatever the future may bring
o{i oil Of
at present they had sufficient coal to
supply present orders. Orders are
not being received fast enough one
dealer said and expressed the opinion
that if every one is to be cared for
this winter the retailers should be
given an opportunity to know what
the orders were to be and to begin de-
liveries in order not to cause conges-
ton in the fall, Most of the coal
that is brought here is taken. from
the Lelaigh Valley railroad sources
although some fis purchased from the
mines along the New Jersey Central
railroad.
Various reasons have been assign
ed by the coal companies for the So
called shortage. The mine operators
declare that the shortage is due to
the emigration of thousands OF
miners returning to their native
countries. These men have been kept
here by the war, it is said, and are
now taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to return to Europe. 1t is not
known what arrangements are being
made to meet this depreciation in
output by machinery or other meth
ods. 1t has been stated, however,
that because of the threatened short
age some of the operators are to
continue to work the mines right
through August when many of them
are partly closed
According to reports of an fnvesti-
CATION being made into the present
high cost of coal q fake shortage
is being advertised by Western con-
cern with the sole idea of getting peo-
pie to buy now before prices come
down. None of the dealers here held
out any hope whatever Of reduction
in prices.
A contest is about to be staged in
England over the naturalization of
the coal mines of Wales. So far Pre-
nier Lloyd George has not intimated
which side he will ioin as between
the miners and consumers who seek
naturalization of the mines and the
owners who oppose it.

Mayor Would Put Governors
to Check Jitney Speeding

AS an absolute guarantee against
speeding by jitney and public bus
drivers Mayor Frank Dorsey is seek
ing to have speed governors put on
all of the jitney motors that are
licensed in the city.
The mayor stated today that he
regarded the speeding on the part of
the jitney drivers as a serious men
ace to the safety of the public who
use the buses. The most effective
way to prevent speeding, he says, will
be to have governors put on all of
the motors and sealed by a city in
spector. Speeding would then be de-
finitely prevented.
The mayor said that he intended
to take the matter up with members
of the Board of Aldermen at the
earliest opportunity with a view to
having the governors one of the re-
quirements in the new jitney ordi-
nance. The ordinance was passed by
the aldermen at the last meeting
