PrOfteers Are Behind
Coal Famine Scare.
Asserts Congressman,
NeW York Tribune
Warrington Bureau

WASHINGTON. July 2l.-Charging
that there is widespread propaganda
movement under way to induce people
to buy coal at the present high prices,
Representative Huddleston, of Ala
bama. who comes from one of the larg-
est bituminous coal producing districts
in the United States, told the House
Rules Committee to-day that until the
price of coal and other raw materials
comes down there can be no large re-
ductions in the cost of finished prod
ucts
He said the Congressional investga-
ton Of the rise in coal prices, proposed
in the resolution Of Representative
MacGregor, of New York, which was
before the committee, was Unnecessary
He believed there had been sufficient
investigation already to establish that
the only remedy was government price
fixing.
Coal is used in the production of
practically all manufactured commodi-
ties, he said Until coal prices and the
prices OF other raw materials drop. he
explained, manufacturers will be un-
able to lower the prices of finished
articles.
"They filled their pockets during tho
war" Mr.. Huddeston said, "and thcv
want to continue their profteerinp in
times Of peace. There is a widespread
propaganda on foot urging tho people
to buy coal at present prices. They arc
trying to scare the people with threats
of shortage because they fear holding
OH OF buyers will force prices down"

"Inasmuch as the whole world seems
to be tending toward internationalism.'
said Mr. Schlosberg, "the plan OF our
British comrades seems to be per-
fectly natural one. If realized it win

for the prevention of wars. Il is un-
likely that the American Federation Of
Labor will approve it. 1t is not as
yet progressive enough to go in for
anything like that, but it is certain
that number of the big international
unions within the A. +. of L, viii give

The plan proposed by the British
awakened great enthusiasm among The
Socialists in the city.
Alderman Algernon Lee said:
The plan of the British trade
unionists is more far-rcaching than
the league of nations. If put into op

United Hebrew Trades, an organiza-
tion uniting some 100000 workers in
Greater New York, said yesterday
that his organization cannot take
stand on the British plan, the most
radical labor project yet proposed on
an international scale, until the
American Federation of Labor has
acted on the matter.
ut would be premature for me to
express any opinion on the subject
in the name of the United Hebrew
Trades" said Mr.. Feinstone THE
matter is entirely up to the American
Federation of Labor Even if the
United Hebrew Trades should take a
different view of the project than that
of the federation, we would abide by
the decision of the latter
Joseph Schlosberg, secretary of the
Amalgamted Clothing Workers of
America, said that his organization
would give its enthusiastic support to
the plan, which he likened in the
economic field to the league Of nations
in the political field. According to
the plan of the British trade unions,

Hand i'm the Strike That
tops transportation

BERLIN, July 81 (By The Assocat-
ed Press) ).-Independent Socialists at
tempted to form a gathering in the
Lustgarten at 2 o'clock this afternoon
The troops fired in the air and then
point blank into the crowd, wounding
two men and a woman. The crowd then
broke up.
The incident was the cause Of SEN
sational reports throughout the city,
but order was maintained.
Gustav Noske, Minister Of Defence,
had ordered large squads of troops
to patrol the downtown districts from
outdoor gatherings.
Gatherings Are Dispersed
Despite Minister Noske's prohibit
tion, thousands gathered for the in
dependents meeting in the Gruene-
wald. A procession was formed and
marched toward the city. Shortly
after noon troops with machine guns
and fame throwers dispersed the as
semblage. Shots were fired in the
air, but no resistance was offered
Other large gatherings were held in
Treptow Park and Unter den Linden
but all were dispersed under pressure
of the troops.
The city was hard hit by the strike
Of transportation employees, electrl-
clans, gas workers and typesetters,
and was without artificial light and
transportation.
AS a consequence of the strike
most of the residents remained at
home, and less Inconvenience was ex-
perienced than was expected.
Newspapers Have to Suspend
The newspapers we're so seriously af-
fected that eight of them either did
not publish or did not deliver papers
to their subscribers. Newspapers which
did publish condemned the strikers as
irresponsible persons. Some Of the IL
dependent papers criticised Gustav
Noske, Minister of Defence, for pre-
hibiting open air meetings of the Inde-
pendents, while encouraging indoor
meetings Of the Majority Socialists.
Big open air demonstrations by the
Independents were held in the northern
and eastern suburbs of Berlin.
At Stettin the large works are idle
In Saxony, however, there is no strike
and in Breslau a majority of the work
ers have refused to strike. At Span
dau all important concerns, the street
railways and gas and electric works
have stopped operations.

Forthcoming international labor con-
gress at Amsterdam-does not meet
with the approval of most leaders con-
nected with the American Federation

labor organization here that is heartily
in favor of the plan is the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America,
which is not affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Samuel
Gompers, president of the federation,
and number of other delegates are
now enroute to Amsterdam to attend
the international labor congress, where
they will oppose the British plan as

Are Sought as Teutons

Moreover, it is understood that Sc
cret agents of the German government
in this country had been apprlsed of
the possibilities of sending prisoners
to the United States, and were urged to
destroy the betrayers of the Father
land. With this possibility in mind
the American military authorities in
France provided specially picked
guard of fifteen men to escort the Ger
mans from Brest to Washington.
The prisoners will probably be sent
to some isolated army post and pro
tected until such time as it may be
safe to release them.
On arrival yesterday the two pris-
oners we're in cheerful mood, and, de-
spite the risk of future harm, were
willing to pose before the camera. Il

ties, as reward for the information
procured. will make an effort to bring
the families of the two Germans t6

will go much higher than it is now.
The following is the telegram:
"Tell customers not sell cotton e:

The market has advanced half

it should sell here at 80 cents. OF

more than he can buy it at, and Il
the owner is willing to sell that is
his business.
