reconstruction and reorganization of our

ministration was devoting itself to the
chimcra Of a world reorganization. The
Republican congress. that had been
elected in the autumn of 1913, attempted

Us on the right track once more. 1t de-

domestic difficulties in its engrossment

COAL MACNATES
MEET To TALK
LOWER PRICES
Expect 1000 Operators
to Take Part in
Gathering.

Cleveland. Oct 25-Hundreds of BIZ
luminous coal operators from various
producing fields arrived Monday night
for a general meeting here Tuesday at
which a communication from Attorney
General Palmer. urging action toward
a lowering of prices for soft coal will
be considered The meeting is expected
to be one of the most important IN the
history Of the industry.
1t is anticipating that upwards of a
thousand of the 1000 soft coal pro-
ducers will participate and discuss the
situation.
Colonel n b. wentz, president Of the
National Coal association, called the
meeting at the request of Attorney
General Palmer so that the latter s
proposal might be put before all repre-
sentatives of soft coal operators
1t was explained that the National
Coal association. whose membership
embraces $500 operators with more
than three fourths of the aggregate soft
coal output, which this year is expected
to reach nearly 55o,000.0o0 tons. can
not, because of the nature of its charter,
take action relating to price fixing.
Because of this, Colonel Nentz de-
cided to put the matter before the
general body of coal operators, but as
Individual representatives of the various
fields.
While it is not thought that the opera
tors will attempt to fix any maximum
price. it is understood that the majority
of those here might support resotu-
ton favoring fair and reasonable prices
and only reasonable profit to the
operators
Operators said that with the recent
production of soft COAL now aggregaung
nearly 12.00O,oo0 tons a week, high
prices. wherever they have prevailed,
are ranidly coming down.

THE torture and death of Terence

sacred service to liberty everywhere.
Not in half century has one man, by
the simple offer Of his life, done 50 much
to arouse the moral conscience Of men
and women everywhere who love liber-

the prestige Of the British government
beyond the power Of the combined wealth
and economic influences of England to
repair it. The death of this hero, after
many days of torture and agony has
exposed the pretence Great Britain wants
