SPA CONFERENCE
FACING DEADLOCK
ON COAL QUESTION
Continued from First Page.)

fringed upon in decisions regarding
this feature Of adjusting reparation
payments. These experts should also
fix the maximum sum to be paid to
the allies by Germany.
Material Should BE Specified.
Material which Germany is to deliver
to the allies under the peace treaty for
reconstruction of devastated regions
should be specified by the reparations
commission, the statement declared,
and It's value should be credited to Ger
many.
1t was said the Berlin government
had thus far received only lists Of
claims from the allies for purposes of
observation. These lists had been
closely examined, and suggestion was
made that negotiations between Ger
many and the reparation commission
should begin in the near future to
decide which deliveries can definitely
be demanded, and which, in view Of
Germany's economic position. cannot
be executed.
Proposals were made that Germany
create dual organization of her en-
tire industry and labor for the purpose
of effecting these deliveries. In cases
where special engineering material or
similar products were to be turned
over, distribution should be carried
out through the trade associations of
EACH particular INDUSTRY, Out where
they were so-called catalogue goods
deliveries would be made by clearing
houses in various parts of the German
republic. The various states in the
republic would parcel out deliveries
through special contract boards, which
have been formed, or are being con-
stituted, in Prussia. Bavaria. Saxony
Wurttemburg, Baden, Hesse, Thuringia
and the Hanseatic towns. All associa-
tions and boards would be compelled
by the law from the execution Of the
peace treaty to produce the output de-
manded.
Twof0Id Organization Urged.
accommodation was made that
each allied and associated power ere
ate a twofold organization for the
examination and reception of deliv-
cries, respectively. The former would
be necessary because the lists sub
mitted to Germany contained a large
number OF claims which were subse
Quently settled by direct orders from
the persons affected and paid /. by
the allies. The task Of the second or
ganization would be to take final de-
liveries of goods and assume respon-
sibility for any defiencies.
All organizations concerned must be
developed on basis of absolute pari-
ty between employer and employed,
and special measures must be taken
to prevent abuses.
Examination Of this plan, the state
ment said, should be intrusted to
commission Of experts. and Germany
was ready to Immediately present its
lists Of members OF such body. Sub

COAL FAMINE DUE
TO CITIZENS FEAR
Dealers in District SWamped
by Orders, Fuel Expert
Declares.

| "Of course, the retailers cannot get
| enough coal to supply the demands of
| householders who are swamping them
with orders. The consuming public
has become panic stricken at the cry
| of famine which has been made by
governmental agencies. There is no
coal famine There would be an
| equitable and normal supply of coal
coming into the yards of dealers II
the public had not become afraid it
would not be supplied"
This statement was made today by
George H. Cushing, managing di-
rector of the American Wholesale
Coal Association. Mr.. Gushing. who
has been denying the existence of a
serious coal shortage. when asked by
a Star reporter how it is that Wash
ington consumers, when they try to
place an order with local coal deal
ers, are told the dealers cannot get
coal.
Reason for Local Shortage.
whenever 1 say there is no coal
shortage, l mean shortage in pro-
duction," Mr.. Cushing said. Ger
tainly there is difficulty in obtaining
coal by the local dealers. There is
bound to be when so per cent of the
year coal oiueIS were PioCeu III
April, May and June. Coal dealers
cannot do twelve months business in
two or three.
THE public has become panic-strick-
en- at the cry OF famine. Since No
vember l. 1919, some governmental
agency has been continually predict
ing a coal famine. Eight govern
mental agencies-to say nothing Of
the Department of Justice-have been
preaching famine. 1t is no wonder
the people believed the only sane
thing to do was to place their orders
for coal. They believed these agen-
cies and as result coal dealers are
simply swamped with orders. and the
distribution system has been severely
taxed.
Mr.. Cushing said that within a ra-
dius of one-ha1f mile from the British
embassy at least so per cent of homes
have had their next winters coal put
in. In normal times. he said, these
homes would not have bothered put
ting in coal until August or Septem-
Der.
Future Prices Uncertain.
Regarding the increased prices asked
by coal dealers. Mr.. Gushing said no
one can predict what coal prices will
be in the next week or the next
month. With no wage agreement be-
tween the anthracite miners and op-
orators forthcoming. prices will re-
main unstable until the conference at
Scranton is finished. Then the price
of coal will be set.
Until that time the coal dealers are
not going to take chance and lose
money. They are adding what they
consider to be a fair price. and one
which will nearly meet the price re-
sulting from the conference.

WILL ENFORCE HEDGE LAW

Maj. Gessford. superintendent of po-
lice. has directed members of his force
to enforce the police regulation rela
tive to the planting and care of
hedges. Planting of hedges is per-
mitted only on permit from the enzi-
neer department. and the regulation
provides that they shall not exceed
three feet in height nor projct more
than six inches over the sidewalk
Complaints have been made to the
police that many hedges about the
District have become overgrown and
unsightly.

not in effect. Also the railroads
themselves realized that from their
point OF view 1t was imperative for
the republicans to win that year.
Men who remember the campaign say
that the roads made rates as low al
81 round trip from Denver to Can
ton and return and rates similarly
low from other points In the country.
In consequence, thousands upon thou
sands Of citizens focked to McKinley's q
nome. Other expenses were low in
those days compared to present prices
for board and lodging.
Movies to Have Part.
In reply to these arguments against
a front porch campaign are urged the
multiplicity of automobiles, whose
owners are expected to drive to
Marion; the greater facilities to which
the speeches of the nominee may be
transmitted to all parts of the coun-
try. and the important part which the
moving pictures will play in the cam
paign.
Mr.. Hayes left here to go to New
York. where he will remain for a week
or more.
Pledges of support for the republican
ticket by the negro voters of the
country are coming in. Col. r. S. Alb
bott. of the Chicago Defender. has
written that the Illinois negroes ara
entirely satisfied with the ticket. John
w. Thompson, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the New York
State Republican Council,an organiza-
ton of negro voters, representing
300,0 900 negro man and woman voters.
has pledged their support The or
ganfzation plans to send a delegation
to Marion later. Rev. N. T. Lane, pas
tor of colored Baptist church in
Kansas City. has sent word the negro
voters Of Jackson county. Mo-, will
support Harding to a man.
Senator Attends Church Service,
Senator Harding attended Trinity
Baptist Church yesterday, the first
Sunday he has spent in Marion since
his nomination. With him were Mrs.
Harding. his father. DIR. George T,
Harding. and Will Hays. After the
services. at the suggestion Of Rev. DR..
T. H. McAfee. the pastor. the nominee
and Mrs. Harding and Mr.. Hays shook
hands all around with the congrega-
ton. The collection boxes containing
the offering of the congregation had
been left beside the pulpit. When Mr..
Hays took his stand close by, the
boxes were removed. Some one jok-
ingly suggested to Mr.. Hays perhaps
there was fear the funds might find
their way to the republican commit
tees strong box.
A Harding book is being prepared
by Frederick Schortemeier. secretary
Indiana. 1t will contain some two
hundred pages and will be a bound
volume, entitled "The Rededication OF
America" Extracts from Harding'a
speeches. and his speech of accept
ance will be included in the volume.

cations under article 236, paragraphs
i and 4 and appendix 4. part 3 of the
peace treaty, to deliver materials for
the immediate restoration of terri
tories affected by the war. materials,

The note says that the reparations
commission has not yet established
what is to be delivered in the way of
cattle, tools and raw materials, or
stored. but that Germany is ready to
make these deliveries to the extent
which her resources will permit.
The German government proposes

Spain Urged to Cut Exports.

An editorial protest against the ex-
portation of shoes, leather, foodstuffs,
cotton and linen is published by I'm
parcial, Madrid. The newspaper gives
statistics to show that while the ex-
portation of shoes and leather from
January to July, 1918, amounted to
100000 pesetas, during the same
period in 1910 expectation Of these ar
ticles reached value Of 100000
pesetas. The expectation Of other raw
materials also increased greatly. The
impartial says this has been the cause
Of the large increases in the cost OF
living.

CIemenceau Drops War Duties.

Premier Clemenceau declared in an
interview that he could not continue
to represent the department Of war
in the chamber of deputies, adding
that "after the effort of the last year
I would be loath to start again on a
task with a fear that my strength fail
me before it could be completed"
Everything is not finished with our
victory" he continued. eve must still

and the committee of factory workers
is an ordinary occurrence" according
to the bolshevik newspaper "Ekon-
omicheskaya Zhizn" of April, 1919.
Workers Denied Right to Strike.
The soviets have the whip hand IN
their controversy With the workers !;
they are the government and the RED"
army backs their DEGREES There is q
final court Of settlement for all dis
agreements between the soviets and
the workers. 1t is the 'wall"-and the
firing squad. The right of strike Is
denied the workers. Many Of those
who have dared to strike have paid
for it with their lives. The workers
are without recourse when commanded
by the soviet. Whether or not they
were the slaves of the machines be-
fore communism came, it is certain
that they are now the slaves Of the
soviets. Even as slaves of the ma
chimes and the capitalists who owned
the machines, they had the right to
strike for their rights. The soviets de-
prived them Of this right.
The bolshevik Sosnovsky, reporting
on the condition in the Tper province,
in the "Izvestia" Of the provincial So
Wet March 8, 1919, wrote: "The local
communist soviet workers behaved
themselves, with rare exceptions, in a
disgusting manner. Misuse Of power
is going on constantly"
The conduct Of the soviet commits
saries is a general scandal in Russia.
Their conduct is described in No. II,
January Is, 1919, Of the "Izevestia" OF
the provincial soyiets: "The commits
saries were going through the Tar
itzin county in sumptuous carriages,
driven by three and often by six
horses. A great array Of adjutants
and a large suite accompanied these
commissaries, and an imposing num-
Der of trunks followed along. They
made exorbitant demands upon the
toiling population, coupled with as
saults and brutality; their way OF
squandering money right and left is
particularly characteristic In some
houses the commissaries gambled away
and spent on intoxicants large sums.
The Woodworking population looked
upon these orgies as complete democrat
ization and failure of duty to the
world revolution"
These pen pictures Of life in Russia
under the soviet regime are not fur
nished by the enemies of bolshevism;
they are the complaints of bolshevik
leaders. Do we need a greater warn
ing Of the menace of bolshevism?
