 APPROPRIATIONS TO BE REDUCED

WASHINGTON Dec. 1S.-(P-A meeting of the senate foreign relations committee has been called for Saturday and it ot extremely probable that the fight the peace treaty will be reopened before then The purpose of reOpenng the fight at this time would be to endeavor to get the committee to take action on the resolution presented by Senator Knox, which declares that peace exists between the United States and Germany.
 WILL ECONOMIZE
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-(P)-When the first ur- gent deficiency bill of this session presented today majority leader Monde immediately and declared that all general appropriations for the fiscal year of 1921 will be pared down in accordance with the strctest econ omy. He stated that this policy would be followed con- cernng all appropriation with the exception of the estimates for the postal and naval departments which have already been reduced Representative Mon- dell stated that great reductions will be made on the es- inmates for the maintenance of the army and fortlca- tons for the coming fiscal year, it not believed an immense should be expended for these purposes lie stated that it coservatvey estimated the govern ments receipts will total $O3 100000 yet this does not include any estimate of receipts on the interest account of nearly $lOO00OOOOOO which the United States has loaned to the allies. He said that the payment of only part of this interest would greatly tighten the burden of the American taxpayer.

MAY LAY STEEL,


 For any amount over and above the maximum of 800 tons named by Mr. Browne. if the overplus should be material other plans would of course be necessary, probably neces- sitating the laying of steel across the river. Speaking in reference to putting down rails over the Panama, MT. Browne said that even if an un- limited tonnage were in sight at the present time it would ho impossible to do that work at this time as the ice Is not sufficiently strong to bea, the weight of trains. Early snow fall prevented the river from freez- ing to an eYtended depth and unless colder weather than has been ex- perlenCed so far is had it may he impossible to run trains across the river all winter.
 COAL TO ADVANCE.
 According to MT. Browne, the old price of $500 per ton charged by the operators for the Burns coal will probably be superseded in the near future by new price of $6.25 per ton at the mine. He said that a tentative contract between the oper- ators and the commission on that scale is being prepared and w,n soon be effective, This price, he declared, should be but temporary pending the completion of development work to be done by the operators. He said that eventually it should be sold at s3.5O to $4.00 per ton. but he Was unable to state just how long before such prices would prevail, admitting that the question of quantity pro. duction entered to large degree into the matter of reduction,
 GIVES SATISFACTION.
 The use of the Ignite coal as fuel declared MT. Browne gives bet ter satisfaction than wood and is be- ing used by the commission in preference to wood which can be purchased at Nenana for s7.00 per cord. A few people in Nenana, he said, are also using coal, an occasion al car being shipped in for private Records of compara- i've tests. he asserted, are available which prove the superiority of coal over wood.
 PRICES TOO HIGH.
 He agreed with members of the board in the conclusion hat coal costing s6.25 per ton at the | mine was too expensive fuel for general mining use. In the opinion | 'f all present any fuel at that price | o which additional transportation 'ates must be added before 1t is lvailable for use cannot replace wood IS fuel in mining operations.

BROWNE MODIFIES POSITION ON COAL TRANSPORTATION; MAKESA
 THRU RATE FROM MINE TO TOWN

At meeting held yesterday afternoon in the office of Guy Erwn secretary of the Fairbanks Commercial Club, the executive board of that organization held extended conference with Engineer Charge Frederick D. Browne of the Alaskan Engineering commission rela- tive to the transportation of coal from the Ignite fields south of Nenana into this camp and vicinity Mr. Browne stated that he had to Fairbanks under instructions from Commissioner Mears in order to clear up ap parent misunderstanding in the coal situation and deavor solution of tue problems con- nected with the delivery of coal
 NOT PRODUCING COAL
 At the very outset of the meetng after the purposes of the conference had been stated by President J. A. Me- ntosh Mr. Browne stated emphatically that the conis- sion is not engaged ill the coal mining game. The
 mission, he said could lay rails up to the coal veins and the district up with those veins but could at this time force delivery of coal by the operators He ntmated that under certain circumstances, such a failure of fuel supply affecting the commisson author ity could be obtained for mining of coal.
 MAKES PROPOSITION
 Regarding the delivery of coal to this district Mr. Browne made definite proposition and that in the opinion of the members Is far probably based a knowledge of the fuel situation it exists in Fairbanks and the creeks Regarding the delivery of coal for experimental purposes which up to this time has been hay in outlook and uncertain he said that coal in sze able quantities. from 50 to 500 tons shipped from the Lgnite mnes and presumably the other veins which the Healey River Coal Corp has leases to Nenana shipped there by means of commission teams and labor to the North Nenana- Fairbanks dvision would be dev cred to either Fairbanks Gilmore for transporta on charge of $25O per on The shipping charge from the mines to Nenana being $1O0 that from North Nena- to either of the destinations mentioned additional O0 the commission charge for handling the coal the Panama river by teams including unloading and loading would be fifty cents per which, stat ed by Mr. Browne, would be less than the actual of the labor involved The commission he stated stands tc lose money the proposition but is willing to do ,. order to stimulate both coal and gold production.
