Draft of Counter Proposal Con-

OF foreign affairs Friday, the
correspondent of The Associated
Press was informed that the
new German proposition with
regard to reparations, brought
to Paris from Berlin by Charles
Laurent, the French Ambassa-
der to Germany, for settlement
is very much the same as that
presented at the Spa conference,
and that it probably will be re-

building of the devastated regions Of
France by a German syndicate over
which France would have no control

but at present there was no indication

According to information obtained in
German circles the French minister Of

length and finally accepted the condi-
ton that laborers furnished by Ger,
many should be housed in barracks and
marched to and from their work by

up to the Germans, labor leaders in
Germany refused to permit Germans to

would not agree to fix definite price
in the contracts for German products
which were to be sold to France.

REQUIRING RAILWAYS
To CARE FOR MINES
Transportation Companies and
Colleries Working Together
Meet Need.

Washington, Oct. S.-Action
to satisfy demands for domestic
coal in various states was taken
Friday night by the Interstate
Commerce commission in an or
der requiring railroads east Of
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado
and New Mexico to furnish coal
cars to mines in preference to
any other use.
Former orders of this character appii-
ed only to the east of the Mississippi
river. The present order, the commits
sion said. would run until further notice
but be relaxed as the situation war
ranted.
The commission also ordered all out
standing permits for use Of coal cars for
other freight cancelled bu announced
that arrangements to continue the move
ment of certain essentials, such as sugar
beets to factory. would be made.
Working in conjunction with coal op
perators and railroads, a program has
been formulated, the committee said,
which is expected substantially to meet
domestic coal needs. 1t is planned TO
transport approximately ., 100 cars daily
for this purpose in Indiana. Ohio. Mich-
igan, eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennes
see, western Pennsylvania, and West
Virginia Attention is also given to needs
of domestic consumers in other states,
the commission added.
AS public utilities and institutions
have accumulated some stocks of coal
under the commissions priority order
that order has been superseded by new
regulation. which the commission an
nounced. will care for special cases Of
real emergency After October IA, pref
erential car supply for public institutions
will be afforded upon the approval Of the
commission.
Despite an increase in coal production
which up to September p exceeded that
of last year by 81 100000 tons, the com
mission said there has not been suf-
ficient production of the sizes of coal
for domestic purposes to satisfy all
present demands
The existing order for the preferen-
tial movement of 1000 cars of coal daily
for the northwest was. mot changed
A statement issued by the natsonal
coal association said the increased car
had already started, and would
supply immediate needs. After the lake
movement was completed, the statement
said, there would be available ample coal
for domestic winter storage.
