THE COAL SITUATION AS VIEWED
BY DIRECToR-GENERAL HINES.

From the Manufacturers Record, Bal
timore, Md.
In his letter of September to the
Chairman OF the Inter-S State Commerce
committee OF the Senate, now engaged
in investigating the coal problem, Di-
rector General Hines OF the Railroad
administration, has practically charg-
cd the coal trade of the country with
lacking honor and integrity. Some of
the statements made in his letter are
so amazing that one necessarily mar
wells at the lack Of judgment shown by
Mr. Hines, and II this management Of
the railroads is TO be judged by the
lack Of wisdom displayed in that let
ter then the sooner there is a change
in tho Railroad administration the bet
ter 1t will DO for the nation.
Mr.. Hines, in undertaking to smooth
away the lack of transportation facfl-
tiles for the coal trade during the bal
ance OF the year, says:
Il want to reiteratc both these prop
Osidons, this termination OF var az

pie of the country with willingness
to misrepresent the whole situation
for the express purpose of demanding
a high price for coal.
There are some 1000 or 5000 coal
operators in the country, many Of
them men of the highest business
standing. They have right to resent
with very considerable vigor this slur
of the Railroad administration upon
their honor and integrity.

The Allied forces in Fiume have been withdrawn and
the Supreme council at Paris has decided that the stu
alton created by the DAnnunzio invasion of the former
Austrian port is purely domestic problem. And that
in all probability is not at all the way the poetaviato
hoped the Allies would act AS has been remarked
before some one always taking the joy out of life
and there certainly is rot much fun in setting ones
countrymen by the ears.

 COMPETING FOR
 MEXICAN TRADE

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1 (Correspon- dence of Associated Press) Despite conditions popularly regarded in the United States as uninviting to Amer ican trade expansion here business between that country and Mexico shows decided upward trend. Dur ing the fiscal year just closed imports and exports between the two repub lies amounted to more than 531,O0O,- 900 pesos, according to figures given the Associated Press by w. F. Saun- ders, secretary of the American Cham Der of Commerce in Mexico City.
 Of this amount 376,OO0,O00 pesos represents exports from Mexico and 164,O0O,000 pesos represents imports. Previous to the current fiscal year the banner period of Mexican-United States business was in 1911 when 102,O00,OOO pesos worth of goods were exported from Mexico and 146,O00,OOO pesos worth were imported.
 "Deducting amounts representing petroleum exportations which are not considered in, the ordinary run of commercial business, and for in' creased values of goods, these figures indicate clearly that trade is increas- ing" said MT. Saunders. Mexico will spend more than $150, 100000 in the United States during the year 1919, with imports of hardware, ma- chinery, drugs and dry goods leading all others. During the month ot August we received more than 700 letters from firms who intimated in tentions of establishing branches here.
 "The end of the war has brought sharp competition for Mexican busi- ness. It is interesting to note in this connection that sentiment is giving way to sound busness in dealing with the Germans. It will be remembered that during the war a referendum vote of chamber of commerce mem bers favored a commercial boycott Of Germany after the war. This has been forgotten here and German firms, who are conceded to have the frmest hold on the hardware busi- ness in the republic, are buying prac- tically all of their supplies from American dealers. Japanese compe- tition is negligible"
 A strenuous effort is being made to stabilize transportation conditions which present the most serious ob- stacles to trading. Congestion of freight at Nuevo Laredo for trans mission to Mexico City still exists, but within the past few weeks ar rangements have been made by three concerns here for the operation of special freights" between the two noints. A new steamship line be- tween Vera Cruz and New Orleans will also open for business next month.
