That the coal situation in some OF
the smaller towns of the northern part
of Montana is getting acute is the state
ment of local coal jobbers. 1t mas CONE
to the notice of the Great Falls dealers :
that Conrad and Chester are out OF coai
and several of the smaller points report
an absolute lack of fuel. just how the
farmers are caught as a result OF TINS Is
a matter of conjecture by the deaiei
here believe that there are hundreds OF
farmers in northern Montana who are
out Of coal and whatever fuel they may
have to break the chill of the atmos-
phere these winter mornings must come
from the wood that may be available IN
buildings or in nearby timber the latter
d remote possibility for most OF the
people.
There has begun to come into Montana
a considerable shipment of coal from
Fernie, B. c., coal Ield, shipments
amounting to several thousand tons al
ready having been sent into the state,
it is said and the report has it that the
mines there are working continuously
trying to get out every lump Of coal pos
sible to meet the demand. 1t is also re-
ported on seemingly reliable authority
that the entire output of the Ferme
mines JUST now Is cOlllIS luto INC ohttSl
States and the most of it will be used
in the states of Washington and Moh-
tana.
Considerable on Hand.
The coal dealers of Great Falls still
have a considerable tonnage and the
work of handling it is going forward
steadily and the teams are busy deliver
ing the coal to the patrons who get
their supply through the city fuel ad-
ministration office One dealer express
ed the belief that there is enough coal
in the yards of local dealers to keep the
people of, this city out of the danger Of
suffering from cold for at least two
weeks, even if the mines do not start be-
fore that time and he thought that II
there was no evidence of an early start
of the mines the conservation which
would result would make the supply last
longer than the two weeks period, for,
as he put it, if the people became con
vinced that the strike was to drag foz
a couple of weeks yet, they would and
could cut the coal consumption much
more than has yet been done.
The local coal brokers are working
with the coal administration to make
the coal on hand last just as long as
possible and whenever an appeal comes
to one of the brokers from an outside

Belmont Park, N. Y, July a.
Asserting they are forced to fly not
only in Bad weather, but also in un-
safe machines, 20 aerial mail pilots
have served notice on Second AS
sistant Postmaster General Praeger
at Washington that they would re-
fuse to fly Friday unless reinstate-
ment was granted two brother pilots
who they assert were discharged be-
cause they refused to take the air
on account of the fog.
Washington, July 24.-Otto Pra-
ger, second assistant postmaster
general said he did not believe any
strike of mail aviators was impend-
ing or that men in the service
would refuse duty. \
1T is true that l did get an anon
ymous telegram" he said. AT
least a telegram signed mail avia-
tors which purported to come from
the flyers at New York, and said
that they would not take out the
mail Friday unless two men dis
charged Tuesday were reinstated
! Those men yill not go back into the
service, but it is likely there will be

AGREEMENT IN
MINERS STRIKE
EXPECTED TODAY
New Piece Rate Offer Made
to Men That it Is Hoped
Will Be Acceptable.

London, July 24.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. .)--Thursday was fully
occupied with conferences between
Premier Lloyd George and other
members of the government and the
mining interests and closed with the
prospect of settlement. According
to the strike leaders in Yorkshire,
the whole trouble arose through an
attempt by the coal controller to
evade the piece rate provisions of
the Sankey report, which the gov
ernment had as working basis.
One result of the conference be-
tween the premiers and the miners
executive was a new piece rate offer
on the part of the government
which the miners federation ap-
pointed a subcommittee to consider.
The subcommittee held con-
ference Thursday evening with the
coal controller. No official report
of this conference has been issued,
but it was unofficially stated that
when the miners federation meets
in the morning to consider the sub
committees report, there is every
prospect that settlement will be
reached.

Government Ownership Advo-

Washington, July 24.-Eugene N.

ership of all public utilities, and
James L. Quackenbush, counsel for
the 1nterborough Rapid Transit
campany of New York, who declared
Foss' proposals were stuff and non

Railways commission Thursday the
liveliest session since it started its in
vestigation of the condition OF rail-
ways in this country.
Private ownership has fallen
down." Mr.. Foss asserted. There is
left only public ownership with pri-
vate operation or public ownership
and operation.
"Put a stop to this cheap talk. to
this "old stuff" retorted Mr..
Quackenbush. "The thing to do is
not to talk bunkum, but to recog-
nize facts. Unless we can get an in
crease in fare between now and Jam
uary, it means receiver for the
Interborough. If you are going to do
something, get busy"
Letter from Edison.
A letter from Thomas A. Edison
was read, iu which he said:
"The iron-clad contracts between
the roads and cities made in cheer
ing days under normal conditions
have no protective clauses against
the greatest change that has taken
place in centuries, due to the world
war. The municipalities can exact
their pound of flesh if they so de-
sire, with the ultimate bankruptcy
of these organizations, but the spirit
that is now abroad in the world is
against this. We are all trying to
play fair. If suffer we must, let us
all suffer alike. If prosperity comes
all should participate in like man
ner."
Mr.. Foss expressed a belief that
the electric lines in his state would
be we'll on the way to public owner
ship before snow flies" Recent
increase in fare to 10 cents in -Bos-
ton was not popular, he said, re-
sulting in a loss of Is per cent III
