Commission to Get Coal Moving.
Neutrality-suspicious. from coal short
age-both actual and threatened-for
New England and the northwest is in
sight. The Interstate Commerce COM
mission indicated it vas prepared to
issue an order for priority Of move-
ment in the shipment of coal to New
England states while railroads. under
a recent order of the commission, be-
gan to move coal to lake ports for
trans-shipment tO the northwest.
The order providing relief for New
England which the commission plan
ned to issue was expected to forbid
movement Of coal to tidewater unless
consigned to New England.
This practically would mean an en-
barge of expectation, coal men said.
Summer coal shipments to the north
west have been less than half enough
to insure an adequate supply during
the coming winter, the Interstate Com
merce commission was Informed. Rail-
roads will attempt to dump 1000 car
loads daily at lake ports.

Spain Urged to Cut Exports.

An editorial protest against the ex-
portation of shoes, leather, foodstuffs,
cotton and linen is published by I'm
parcial. Madrid. The newspaper gives
statistics to show that while the *
portation of shoes and leather from
January to July, 1918, amounted to
100000 pesetas, during the same
period in 1919 expectation Of these ar
ticles reached a value Of 72,O00.OO0

The increase in Rome dates from the
second half of 1919 when the sharks

Workers Denied Right to Strike.
The soviets have the whip hand u
their controversy with the workers;
they are the government and the "Red"
army backs their DEGREES. There is a
final court of settlement for all dis
agreements between the soviets and
the workers. 1t is the "wall"-and the
firing squad. The right of strike is
denied the workers. Many Of those
who have dared to strike have paid
for it with their lives The workers
are without recourse when commanded
by the soviet. Whether OF not they
were the slaves of the machines be-
fore communism came, it is certain
that they are now the slaves of the
soviets. Even as slaves Of the ma
chimes and the capitalists who owned
the machines. they had the right to
strike for their rights. The sOviets de-

made %exorbitant demands upon the

they are the complaints Of bolshevik

Belgium Buckles to Her Task.

Belgium Is manfully graphing with
the great problem of domestic recon-
struction. Like practically every other
country she is faced with a tremen-
dous shortage of houses, besides her
own great devastated areas which
must in some way be rehabilitated.
Every day, however. the work must be-
come easier, and with a people SO re-
markedly determined to secure unity
amongst themselves and the maximum
of effort, a comparatively short time
ought to see Belgium well on the way
to complete rehabilitation.

President Of the illinois Miners
Union Telegraphs Advice to Many
Locals to Go Back to
Their Jobs.

MISUNDERSTANDING of Il gen
eral strike Of bituminous coal miners
through the central competitive field
was revealed in a statement given out
here by John l.. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
regarding the strike now in progress
in the Illinois field.
Any settlement of the Illinois strike
which would modify the basic inter-
state agreement under which the min
ers of the central field are now work.
ing would result in action by the
national officers to enforce an imme-
date shutdown of all the bituminous
mines, involving Il strike of 10000
men, Mr.. Lewis said, until similar
notifications, together with other i'm
provements, are arranged for in the
other coal producing states.
Mr.. Lewis would not discuss the
calling of a general strike. which was
Indicated. He said he was awaiting
further word regarding the attempts
made to settle the Illinois strike.
Observation-Disclosures Wilson is
considering sending a telegram to
officials of the striking workers in
the Illinois coal fields, it was learned
Saturday.
Just what recommendations or re-
quests the president will make in the
telegram, if sent. it could not be ascer
c%ertained, but it was expected he
would make a strong appeal for the
men to return to work and remain on
the Job pending adjustment of their
controversy by the department of la
Dor conciliators.
Local union officials ask that the
wages of the men, mostly day laborers
employed at the mines, be raised ap-
proXimately 50 per day.

Harry Fishwick, of the Illinois miners

%ciliators on the ground, waiting to

wick believes a considerable number
of miners will give heed to his order

TURKS REJOICE OVER VICTORY

Constantinople, June 3O.(By the
Associated Press) ).-There is great
exlutation among the Turks in Con-
stantinople because of the alleged
victory of Nationalists over the
Greeks in the vicinity of Pergama,
where Mustapha Kemal Pasha's
forces are reported to have outflank-
ed the Greeks and to be moving
northwards toward Panderma go
miles southwest of Constantinople,
on the Sea of Marmora), taking
several thousand prisoners.
There has been no official Greek
communique for two days and the
Turkish papers are not permitted to
print news unfavorable to the Greeks,
but the Turks generally credit the re-
ports of Mustapha Kemal's success.
The sultan has communicated with
their heic apparent, who in turn, has
conferred with the. Sublime Porte,
asking that protest be lodged with the
entente against suppression of news
favorable to Turkey. The director of
the allied censorship has replied that
the Nationalists have no direct COM
munication with Constantinople and
that therefore reports reaching the
city are unreliable.
The alleged Natlonalists victory
has been widely hearilded through
posters at Brusa and other Anatolian
cities where the assertion is made
that the Greek casualties at Pergama
numbered 10000. These figures are
regarded in Constantinople as ludi-
crous, although Greek silence is Great
ing the impression that the initial
Greek success has been checked.
The Nationalists frankly admit that
thy were surprised by the Greek ad-
vance. The Greek battleship Kilkis,
formerly the Mississippi, and all
Greek merchant ships at Constaniople
have sailed towards the Dardanelles.
The Greeks are recruiting men of all
nationalities, including Turks, in Con-
stantinople. Many Armenians are al
so enlisting. =
