SAYS SHOWDOWN NEEDED


 New York. November 25.-A show down on profits made by bituminous operators is needed for the American people to form a just opinion on the coal situation, William c. McAdoo, for mer Secretary of the Treasury. declared late today.
 Mir. McAdoos statement was made after he had been read an Associated Press dispatch from Washington, giv- ing the substance of the open telegram addressed to him by the operators, crit cising him for injecting himself in tho wage controversy" MT. McAdoo had not received the telegram itself.
 The question is whether or not the coal operators are making excessive profits" said his statement. Their in- come tax returns filed under oath will give an understanding of the truth and the facts. If they are making excessive profits, as they were clearly making in 1917, then any increase of wages that may be made to the miners should not be passed on to the public in the form of increasing prices for htuminous coal. showdown will enable ths American people to form just opn. ion"

 terests, Is Report /

As a preliminary step in the campaign which leaders term fighting fire with fire" the appointment of L. B. Musgrave of Jasper as state chairman of the prohi- bition law enforcement campaign in Ala hama was announced in Birmingham last night. John F. Frye, president of the Traders National bank, will be treasurer.
 The announcement was made by Ed ward oung Clark, divisional campaign director of the southeast in the prohihi- . ton law enforcement campaign. This campaign will hegin immediately and will cuim;nate in the week of January 15-S. when Alabama will be asked to contribute an additional sum to the $40O0 appro- priated by the government for the work in this state.
 The wisky interests have propaganda machine that is equalled only by that of the German nation," said Mir. Clark last night. We propose to fight fire with fire. An instance of their work is the widespread belief that the prohibition law enforcement leaders intend now to turn their guns on the cigarette and then on coffee. This is pure bunk.

NATION FACING CRISIS

Washington November 25-With
 less than 40 per cent of the normal out
 put of bituminous coal being produced,
 the nation is facing it's most serious
 period since the strike of soft coal
 miners was ordered. according to re-
 ports received today by the railroad
 administra tion. In scores of cities the
 number of industries in operation is
 rapidly falling, while the nations coal
 bin continues to diminish. Officials held out only a ray of hope for increased production. While last weeks production showed an increase over the previous week and indications were for a production of about 50 per cent of normal this week. officials said they could not expect suf- | ficient production to check the drain on the national supply until all differ | ences between the miners and opera | tors are ironed out by the conference | here
 Meanwhile, temperatures in the l northern half of the nation have dropped and the Cry for coal for house. l hold purposes grows louder. | So far, the supplies have been dealt 1 out rather literally to meet this de- mand it was said, but further release of coal must be limited if the nation l is not to face a .tie-up of industry and transportation Before a normal produc l tion is again reached.
 Ranks of the soft coal miners, while showing some losses in men returning | to work, generally still hold firm, re- | ports showed.
 | In some districts 1t was said men | have gone back to their jobs in large numbers, but in many mining areas the union ties have continued to keep the mines closed.
 Reviewing the coal supply. the rail- road administration reported that 22.- 00Q,00 tons were held under it's distrib- uting system on November 2. the sec ond day of the walkout Since then these stocks. together with current production, have been drawn on to sup, ply fuel for the railroads, public util- ties essential industries and public welfare institutions, as well as for household uses.
 The railroad administrations central
 coal committee still is holding the
 thousands of cars of export coal assem-
 bled- at Atlantic tidewater ports. Of
 ficials declared that contrary to re-
 ports conditions were normal at the
 ports where this reserve supply of coal
 is held and that no car congestion was
 being permitted.

 In connection with Dr. Garfield's statement before the joint wage scale committees yesterday that the opera tors could not expect the profits all lowed during the war, 1t was recalled tonight that Rembrandt Peale. opera tor, and John White, miner representa- tive, coal experts of the fuel admins tration, in their final report to pr. Garfield, concurred in a statement that it would have been possible for the op- orators to pay an increase in wages out of the established coal price with out raising the price to the consumer.
 MT. Peale and MT. White pointed out that operators generally had been paying bonuses and other forms of in- creased compensation above the estab- lished wage scale in order to get miners to turn out coal to meet the big demand.
