STATISTlCIAN SEES
 MORE COAL ON WAY
Conditions Improving, Labor Increas-
 ing and Output Growing

Frank V. Evans, statistician, relying oil the reports received up to Wednes- day of the coal production of the preced- ing week, has reason to believe that the output will show decided increase when all the figures are tabulated.
 Mine after mine has reported a larger coal production, longer hours worked and better car service. The increase in production is marked at the mines where there have been no labor troubles. Those where there have ben troubles also make better reports.
 Altogether there is evidence of health fer situation in the coal mining field than there has been in several months.
 Especially notable in the individual mine reports is that bearing on hours worked. Miners seem to be showing a disposition to put in more time.
 Indications point to an upward move- ment from now on.

 This campaign is going to be financed by truly popular fund Mir. Upham said. Arizona is going to con tribute it's share, in propor proportion. just exactly as New York or Chicago will do. The idea of popular fund has appealed strongly to the rank and file of the party"
 The Ohio situation was discussed by Senator Harding with George H. Clark, chairman of the state advisory commit tee, who declared that even with the democrats making the state one of their principal battlegrounds there was no doubt of republican success.
 "Ohio is republican" said Mir. Clark in formal statement. she will eX- ceed her record in her plurality for Harding and Coolidge

 Senator Harding's talk on Chinese conditions with which Dr. Hiram Lowry, president emeritus of Pekin University, who brought the greetings and good wishes of the Chinese Presi- dent. The nominee asked many ques- tions about the attitude of the Chinese people, and pr. Lowry told him they all were looking to the United States for their example of representative government.
 Another caller was Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa, former Secretary of the Treas ury, who is understood to have re- ported on conditions in the west, and also to have talked over fiscal policies with Senator Harding.
 "I was greatly pleased,' said Mir. Shaw after the conference, ito find Sen ator Harding thinking, not so much of how he can get the office to which he aspires, what he can do with it when he gets it. The man who has vision in private affairs, is sometimes called financer. The man who has clear vision in public affairs is entitled to be called statesman. Senator Harding has vision in public affairs and clearly sees far beyond election day."

COAL MINING HAS
 CAUGHT ITS STRIDE
Output at Mines Shows Big Increase-Mine Situa-
 ton Is Clearing

Alabama coal mining has caught it's stride again, and output is equal to the heaviest of any period of the year.
 The production during the week end ing July A was 327,9 tons compared with 2S3,oOO in the week ending July r and 242,000 in the week ending July 10.
 Last weeks production was an in crease of 34,000 tons over the preced- ing week and an increase of 19,OO0 tons over the next preceding week.
 The production in the week ending January 31 was 330, ,000 tons and that of the week ending February IA was 320,000 tons. That of the week end ing March 6 was 30S00O tons. It ap- pears that the production has gotten back to the maximum of output that preceded the domestic mine strikes They began early in May.
 The increase in output is credited to three causes:
 l. More cars at the mines.
 ?. Diminution of the strike owing to the reopening of domestic mines where there were, or are, strikes, and their increasing production.
 3. Longer hours put in by the miners at large mines, where there are, and have been, no strikes.
 The mine situation is altogether bet ter than it has been in several weeks and the trend appears to be upward.
