HIGHER PRICE
FOR COAL DUE
TO CONTRACTS


Washington, Jan. 20. Attorney
General Palmer said today he had
no information that btu
minous coal operators had added
to the price Of coal the IA per cent
increase to miners, authorized by
President Wilson pending final set
tlement Of the wage controversy.
1T is true" said Mr.. Palmer,
that In somessections Of the coup-
try larger price Is being charged
for coal than that fixed by the fuel
administration. This makes It APP
pear as II the operators had added
the II per cent increase in wages
to the price Of coal.
Where the price is greater than
the fuel administration price, it Is
caused by the fact that the opera
tor alleges that the coal was
bought ON contract before Oct. 81,
1913, which contract coal was ex-
pressly exempted from the govern
ment price by an order issued by
DR.. Garfield on Nov. II" !"
BituminQus coal operators were
asked today by the presideut,s
strike settlement commission. to
submit . statement showing what
percentage Of the coal now beinE
sold carries the IA per cent In
crease recently given the miners.

Germany Resents Demand for
Other Subjects.

Paris, Jan. 20.-Belief that the
efforts Of the allies to get former
Emperor William out of Holland
would prove unsuccessful was ex-
pressed today by Baron Kurt Won
Lersner, Germany's chief represen-
tative here.
II am absolutely sure the Dutch
government will never surrender
the former German emperor for
trial ON charges that are not pro-
vided for in any constitution, any
laws or any treaties regarding ex-
traditions" he said.
Stands By Others, Too.
With regard to the expected de-
mand for the extradition Of Ger
man subjects for trial for acts
committed during the war, he de-
clared himself certain that public
sentiment in every country was
against such a demand.
1T is contrary to any law or
any precedent" he said. "The feel
ing of the whole world IN favor Of
peace is stronger than the feeling
anywhere for revenge. / hope
strongly that the allied statesmen
will find ! solution Of this ques-
tion that viii leave the world In
tranquility"

STORES READY

Cooperative Union Agents Sure Bol.
shevists viii Not Benefit BY
Lifting Blockade.

Paris, Monday, Jan. 19.-Elabor-
ate plans for the resumption of
commercial relations between the
Russian people and allied nations
have been worked out and It is ex-
pected the bolsheviki will permit
the free interchange of manufac-
tured goods and raw materials. It
will be q comparatively simple
matter to, distribute goods among
the Russian people under the
agreement announced last Friday
by the supreme council, it Is said
by Russians who assisted in the
negotiations that preceded the an
nouncement. Surplus stocks Of
wheat, fax and lumber await ex-
port from Russia, and all that is
needed is ocean tonnage to carry
these products to the markets Of
the world.
Give Out Details.
|; Details Of the plan to be follow
ted .Meras Eiven the Associated Press
to-day By Alexander NJ. Berken-
helm and Constantine Krovopous-
koff, respectively president and
Der of the foreign board of the
Russian Cooperative union, through
which trade will be carried on.
1T Dlust be understood the agree
ment has no political character
whatsoever" said M Berkenheim.
1T is merely an economic, finan-
cial and humanitarian arrangement.
Russian cooperative unions, organ
lied SO years ago. now number 500
branches and have 5000, 900 men,
bers. These societies operate
throughout Russia, whether under
bolsheviki rule or controlled by
other governments.
Have Immense Stores.
"This plan is very simple. We
have in Russia great stocks Of
wheat, cereals. cattle and fax,
which, owing to the complete sup
preston Of expectation established
the record crop Of 1919 are now
larger than Russia ever disposed Of
previous to the war.
Three problems must be met in
order to arrive at an exchange Of
goods. First, Transformation of raw
material outside of Russia; second,
the mode Of payment to the Rus
sian producer, and third, distribu-
tion Of imported goods to Russian
consumers.
| I'VE require in return farming
and agricultural implements, cloth.
shoes, locomotives. motors. auto
mobiles and medical supplies. Ship
tonnage must be furnished by the
allies. as Russia's shipping has
completely disappeared. Ships may
enter Black, Baltic and White sea
ports loaded with the goods needed
by Russia and may return with our
exports"
Not Under Bolsheviki-
Our stores are not under the
control of the bolsheviki. When the
Moscow government nationalized
all stores and closed them. our
stores continued business undis-
turbed. Although the Moscow gov
ernment considered a somewhat re-
dictionary organization and elabor-
ated plans to close our stores, they
we're never put into effect. We feel
sure our headquarters in Moscow
can reach q satisfactory agreement
with the soviet authorities for an
impartial distribution"

The past week has been one of gen.

"The past week was characterized
by much wet cloudy weather and by
temperatures generally considerably
below the seasonal averages. Rains
were Of frequent occurrence and cop
ious in amount. The first snow of
the season, mostly light and melting
as it fell, was reported. Heavy to kill
ing frost occurred in practically all the
important agricultural districts. Sum-
shine was deficient. The weather in
the main was quite disagreeable.
Most crops have reached maturity
and are no longer affected by the
weather, except as it interferes with
harvesting. However, pastures, mea-
dows, and ranges are growing slowly
and are generally favorably affected
by the abundant moisture; the cold
frosty nights are not so favorable; fall
sown wheat and rye are getting fine
start. The first killing frosts of All
tumn were delayed until practically al
the staple crops had matured beyond
frost damage, although alfalfa and the
apple crop are still subject to injury
by low temperatures.
"The inclement weather interfered
seriously with all branches of season

too wet to work in many localities
