In a formal, statement issued today.
Director General Hines said that the
dislocation the strike had c6ufed in
the production OF coal and ttAs trans
portation and distribution canhDt be
instantly remedied. and pending read
justment It Is highly important for
the public to continue to exercise
great caution in the consumption of
coal Mr.. Hines said it is hoped there
will be due appreciation of the diff
culties which cannot be Immediately
overcome, even with cessation, of the
strike.
During the strike" the director gem
eral said, 1.-The weekly production of
coal was cut from 100000 tons to
about 10000 tons. and this much re-
duced tonnage WAS mostly mined in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Widely distant portions of the coun-
tIy which were ordinarily dependent
on other coal fields had to be sup
piled from these and other unusual
sources of supply.
1.-THE central part Of the country Is
depending on shipments from the east
and west. Al per cent of present pro-
duction in the Allegheny and Poca-
hontas regions now being delivered to
the west The result has been that
the railroad administration has been
! compelled to transport coal over the
most unusual routes and for distances
| far in excess Of normal hauls.
Great Caution Urged.
Just as soon as practicable, regu-
| lations in connection with the use of
| bituminous coal for power, light and
heat will be rescinded or modified,
! and the same is true of the supply
| ing of coal to necessary industries.
| 1t is highly important for the pub

Secretary Wilson Anglers
House Committee by Stand
in immigration Matter.

Members of the House committee on
immigration are incensed at the re-
fusal of Secretary Wilson to transmit
Parker, formerly Of the immigration
service. regarding the administration
of Frederic c. Howe. as immigration
commissioner at New York. Mr.. Will
son said that because of the confiden-
tial nature of the report public poll
cy required that it be not made public.
At an executive session the COM
mittee Tuesday adopted a resolution
requesting the Secretary to transmit
the report, and after the meeting
members said that unless it was
forthcoming a subpoena would be is
sued by the committee, requiring the
Secretary to produce It
Said to Be Friendly to Aliens.
Charges had been made before the
committee that Howe was friendly
with dangerous aliens held at New
York for deportation Anthony Can't
netti, commissioner general of immi-
grafton, told the committee that
Howe's resignation from the service
was not purely voluntary.
Discussing alleged delays in de-
porting aliens held at Ellis Island,
Mr.. Caminetti said deportations to
Germany. Austria, Russia, Turkey and
the Balkans had not been possible
since the beginning OF the war, be-
cause of unsettled conditions and lack
Of transportation. Another difficulty
encountered. he said. was DISPOSE
ton on the part of some countries
not to receive the aliens. In a ma
jority of cases, however. this difficulty
has been overcome through negotia-
lions, the commissioner said.
Time Asked for Reply.
Mr.. Caminetti asked for time to
consider a reply to question why
undesirable aliens could not be de-
ported to Germany. Austria and Rus>

destruction OF property had been is
sued within the last forty days. From

portation cases are pending.
Commissioner Caminetti told the
committee that there were no sub
stantial imperfections in the law at

L w. w. Membership Not Unlawful.
Secretary Wilson personally pro-
mulgated the ruling that mere menu
bership in the I. w. w. did not. con-
stitute a violation OF United States
laws relating to anarchy and other
deportable charges. He said:

that is not to be construed as mean

SAYS CUMM|NS BILL
INCREASES H. c. |.
Senator La Toilette Declares
Higher Freights Are In
evitabIe Under Measure.

Enactment of the Cummins bill for
regulation of the railroads after their
return to private operation will add
to the cost of the necessities Of life
because of the Inevitable increase in
freight rates. Senator La Toilette. re-
publican, Wisconsin. declared today in
resuming his attack on the measure,
The increase in rates which the
bill provides for will increase the cost
of living at the time when the whole
country is demanding speedy and ma
terial reduction in prices" Senator
La Toilette said. 4'If prices are not put
down quickly the suffering that will
come soon to the people will have no
parallel in history. We have reached
the limit and we must realize that
back Of all is the specter of Industrial
unrest"
M. ut seems incredible" Senator La
which would add to the cost Of loving
should find support in this body"
Higher Freight Rates.
And yet that is precisely what the
bill will do" he added. "Just as soon
as the roads are turned back the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
be compelled to make rates high
enough to give them a return of 81
or per cent. Experts have told the
Senate committee that the turn back
must be followed by an increase in
rates"
