COAL AWARD DELAYED,

The anthracite coal commission is
now in the final stages Of its ef-
. fort to bring in a unanimous award
with reference to the wage demands
Of the United Mine Workers and to
avert split which would leave the
situation just exactly where it was
when the President appointed the
body to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the miners and the operators.
The commission had virtually
agreed to disagree" when pressure
was brought to bear from the White
House and other sources, according
TO report. DR.. w. o. THOMPSON,
chairman of the commission, has
made certain concessions in his
views to both the employer and the
employe member. and the prospect
is now bright for an award which
all three members will sign.
The commission refused to predict
when it will be sent to the Presi-
dent, except to say probably this
week."

Peace In Russia Would Strengthen
European Economics and Finance

General Wrangel and opposing the
restoration OF peace. is commit
ting economic and financial suicide.
They look for a great depreciation
in the value Of francs and severe
economic suffering in the great
French towns.
The British and French policies
have the same end in view, but are
using different means to attain
them. From the British standpoint
Bolshevism in Russia is only posi-
BILE Is long as the Russian people
are suffering from starvation, and
economic life is impaired by the
breakdown Of production and trans
portation. The restoration of peace
accompanied by conditions under
which the entente would supply the
necessary goods to renew the pro-
duCtive power. would greatly i'm
prove the economic conditions
and enable a constitutional govern
ment to be created. This would
increase production in Russia.
The resumption Of Russia's for
eign trade is necessary to the well
beins of the whole of Europe. esre-
cially France and Great Britain.
tdtt III lNuSSld "OulQ tluS improve
the political conditions and greatly
help to strengthen the economic ana
financial situation. The French aC-
tion in supporting General Wrangel
involves a still further curtailment
of food supplies for northern Rus
sia in the hope of destroying the
BOlshevik government through
greater suffering of the Russian
people. The threat of miners in
Great Britain to strike for increased
pay is regarded with anxiety, as
the government is not expected to
assent
The proposals for a meeting of
the British prime minister with
Senior Giolitti at Lucerne is not ex-
pected to have any great political
Importance.
Great Britains trade balance with
the United States in sterling is as
large as ever. On the other hand,
Britain continues to give credit,
lending four hundred million
pounds sterling a year to the con-
tinent and obtaining a credit for
about the same amount from the
United States.

the affairs of some of the oil com

on the New York Stock Exchange.
NJ NiCan Petroleum and the ran
American Petroleum issues have
been subject to rather vide fluctua-
tions due to the controversy which
has arisen between certain outside

Eventually it is feyt that the situa-

London. Aug. 2l.-The develop
ment in Poland and Russia is being
watched here with very great anxi-
ETY.. The British people. while de-
string peace. feel they are pledged
to maintain Polish independence.
The peace conference at MInsk has
so far relieved the British anxieties,
as the Russian government has
guaranteed independence to Poland
and merely desires to prevent an
invasion Of Russia and Ukraine by
the Polish army.
PoIands successful defense Of
Warsaw is expected to help the
peace negotiations. provided the
Polish government is willing to
agree 70 reasonable conditions. To
appreciate the British attitude, it
is essential to realize that Great
Britain put out its entire strength
in the recent war. The defense OF
BelEium and France was not onlv
military, but also economic and
financial. These countries need
time to reCuperate. To enter into
another war now. unless in the de-
fense Of sacred principles. would be
sheer madness. The British people
consider that France. - supporting

In the bond trade at the close OF
the week it was stated that there

for the most part throughout the
week, brought about principally
through the unhappy results OF the
Sinclair Consolidated OIL Cornora-
tion $4,000. 600 note issue syndicate
which involved a considerable part

that this development had acted as

opinion was expressed that IL would
probably be a week or so before the
securities markets again resume the
stride Of fortnight ago. Those
who are familiar with the Sinclair
situation. however. strongly main
tain that these notes are a perfect
ly safe investment and are unusual
ly attractive at the lower levels
which have been established since
the closing OF the note syndicate on
August a. The notes sustained a
quick drop Of about ten points. az
which level they have since re-
mstned. and the yield TO the In
Nestor at that price is a highly at
