IL from the mines,
They point out that the production
of anthracite coal at the mines has
been as high as 1t has ever been in
the history of the country. and that
the production this year may reach a
high-water mark.
So far this year more than 1000, 900
tons of anthracite coal have been pro-
duced from the mines and this coal
has been kept moving steadily, as
there have been plenty of cars to
move II.
officials of the Interstate Commerce
Commission also stated that there Is
no good reason why there should be a
shortage of anthracite coal in the Dis
trict OF Columbia or anywhere else
with the production at the mines as
high as It Is.
"If there is a shortage of anthracite
coal In Washington II Is because the
Washington coal dealers are not or
dering II from the distributors. or else
they will not pay the price that the
coal is bringing at the mines, in the
hope that the price of coal may drop"
declared an official OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
PLENTY OF COAL At MINES.
There is plenty OF coal at the
mines and enough equipment to move
II, so there Is no reason for a short
age OF anthracite coal in the District
of Columbia" declared A. @. Good
helm, OF the Railroad Administration.
Interstate Commerce officials stated
that the recent order issued by the
Commission diverting coal to the
Northwest and New England states,
where the situation is acute, does not
apply to anthracite coal ss has been

that victory has been won by the

Miss Paul said. They can expect

1t was won by the thousands OF
women who sacrificed health and
careers, who suffered physical vio-

to imprisonment, in the long, weary
struggle to secure that freedom
