MORROW RAPs NATIONAL.
CONTROL OF COAL MINES
Association Official Reports Enough
Soft Coal at Present and at
Lowered Prices.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., November
II (SpeciaD.-Federal control Of the
bituminous mines Of the country is
not warranted by the present situa-
ton. as limited by Senator Calder of
the Senate committee on reconstruc-
ton last week. ]. D. A. Morrow of the
National Coal Association of Wash
ington declared in an address here to-
day before the Eastern Ice Manufac-
turers' Association.
Mr.. Morrow urged patience on the
enterprises throughout the country,
which. he said, have not yet recov-
cred from the economic effect of the
war. The coal industry. he said, had
been unable, up to q short time ago,
to catch up with the necessary output
Of coal to meet the nations require
ments because Of inadequate railway
facilities.
The dihiculty with the railroads, he
said. il that they have not nearly the
requisite number of freight cars to
meet the demands of the various in
dustries. The several systems are
building cars as rapidly as possible
to meet the deficiency. During his
talk Mr.. Morrow told Of the efforts
Of the bituminous coal industry to
eliminate abuses that had developed
in the handling of coal during the
shortage crisis.
Through efforts Of the National Coal
Association. he said. output at the
soft coal mines had now reached the
point of production at which the i'm
mediate wants of the nation are being
met. while with 1t prices at the mines
have appreciably fallen.

and a great amount of material. have
crossed the East Prussian border into
Lithuania in the past three weeks.
according to information reaching the
French foreign Office from its mill
tary advisers on the ground.
The foreign Office is greatly con-
presses the opinion that it is prob
able there will be a renewal of the
monarchic coup d etat.
Representations have been made to
the Berlin government which dis
avows all responsibility. saying the
invaders are groups of individuals
over which the German government
can exercise no control.
The French government is taking
the stand that such a large assem-
bling of troops can hardly be for the
purpose of assisting Lithuania. and
is considering what measures may be
taken to bring the matter to the at
of nations at Geneva.
