New York, Oct. 13.-There will be no serious coal shortage in any part of the country this year. proiding ordinary care is exercised by con sumers, it was predicted here today at the conference of the National two thirds of the bitumnous coal producers of the United States.
 The coal operations, however, de- clared that in order to keep the markets supplied steady work at the the mines and a sufficient supply of railway cars also would be required. It was stated that some bituminous operators were getting only about 25 to 30 per cent of the open top cars needed.
 A special committee which has been working with various cooperative agencies to prevent winter fuel shortage reported that the interstate commerce commission, railways, big coal dealers and other were cooperat ing to increase production and inn prove transportation and distribution facilities. In order that the northwest may be protected, an emergency order, similar to that provided for New England deliveries last year has been applied, it was made known at the conference.
 Supply Order Sections
 When the northeast is supplied, the operators and the railways will then be in position to supply other sec tions of the country before the ex- treme cold weather begins, it was stated The most serons shortage now is in the middle west, the opera tors said but domestic consumers, through systematic distribution, are getting enough coal to meet their demands.
 The committees report stated that by an order of the interstate com merce commission, 80,00O coal cars, being used for the transportation of automobiles, sand, gravel and other commodities has been released last Friday for transportation of coal. With these cars, it was stated, the railways will furnish sufficient cars to handle 100000 tons of coal week.

 Future Trading

Smith Center, Kan, Oct. 13.-One ounce more of bread in the loaf at the old price, is what the consumer is now offered for the $909, 1000 loss "the Chicago wheat gamblers" have caused the American wheat raiser in the last two months by gambling in futures" United States Senator Arthur Capper, declared in an address here tonight.
 "Years ago." he continued, "the people of the United States demanded the suspension of the Louisiana lot tery, but today, under the cloak of business responsibility, we are per mitting the biggest gambling hell Tn the world to be operated on the Chi cago Board of Trade. By compari- son Europe's suicide club at Monte Carlo is as innocent and innocous as a church bazaar.
 Several weeks ago began work on a measure to abolish this wanton and injurious form of robbery and shall shoot this bill in on the first day of the next congress and will undertake to put this den of thieves out of business"
 Sell Crop Six Times.
 Since July, 15, when trading in fu- lures was resumed by the exchanges, the Kansas senator declared that grain spectators have sold, Cor over- sold" this years crop five or six times. Only about one per cent o1 the trading in futures is bona fide transaction for actual delivery, he asserted.
 Because the spectators are forcing down the price of wheat, Senator Capper asserted, "the farmer who sold his hogs and cattle at heavy loss while meat still sells for wal prices, is again made the goat, ant the wheat raiser whose crop thi! year costs him more for wages ane equipment than any other he eve produced, sees the farm price of hi' crop cut virtually in two with no req benefit to anybody except the brok craze firms who collect the commis sions."
