DECLARES COAL
|SHORTAGEOVER
Wentz Says Price Drop Due
As Result Of Increased
Mine Output. }

All danger of a coal shortage is
passed. Coal prices may be expected
to decline steadily IL the present
output Is continued, D. B. wentz, Of
Philadelphia, president of the Ma
tional Coal Association, said yes
terday.
The country" said Mr.. wentz.
has been saved from the DISASTROUS
possibility of a soft-coal shortage
this winter The bituminous coal
industry as a whole has consistently
endeavored to keep prices within
bounds throughout the shortage, and
the bulk of the operators have SOLD
at reasonable prices.
Had II not been for unfortunate
and inscriptions speculation in
some quarters there. would have
been no excessive prices in the mar
ket. This speculation, however, has
now been almost entirely eradi-
Gated"
The statement authorized by the
coal association also calls attention
to the definite price decline of rs to
so per cent which has taken place in
several fields, and attributes the de-
crease to the greatly advanced pro-
duction for the past two months.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Cheaper coal

ney Michels. who planned to open an
investigation tomorrow of dealers

forced to reduce prices to the level

APPEALS MADE
FOR REDCROSS
Picturesque Gathering Here
Attracts Veterans of
Many Fights.
PURPOSES DESCRIBED
Needs for Active Workers
As Well as Finances,
Told by Speakers.

4 plea for assistance in person,
as well as by re-enrollment, consti-
tuted the basis of addresses at the
public meeting for the American
yesterday afternoon.
District Commissioner Mabel T.
Boardman. DIR. Livingston Farrand.
chairman of the central committee
of the Red Cross; Mrs. Captain Anna
l.. Fisher, of the Arabian army, Red
Cross executive in Damascus. and
Henry B. F. mcfarland. former
president of the Board Of Commits
sioners. were the speakers.
A picturesque audience had
crowded into the theater when DR..
David r. Covell. rector of Trinity
Church. rendered the invocation.
White caps intermingling with the
blue and khaki gave evidence that
many with world war service were
again in line.
Predicts Rig Response.
Roll Call Manager Roland s. Rob-
bins predicted that the people. APP
preciating the vast peace service be-
ing rendered. would enroll in greater
numbers than ever before. Mr.. Mac
Farland then introduced the prin-
cipal speakers.
The purpose of the Red Cross, as
everyone should know" said DIR,
Farrand, "is primarily for service to
the suffering. and for dealing with
disaster. Membership in it is the en-
thusiastic rendition of the spirit OF
real democracy. 1t is international
in Its scope. as seen in the war, par
ticularly in that time. but for every
purpose it is also specifically local
in its application. 1t Is not my inten-
ton to ask for money subscriptions
Tor my personal attachment means
more than the symbolic dollars,
What the Red Cross needs most in
It's present state is workers.
Miss Boardhnan accentuated the
request for women to carry out the
active and contemplated projects of
the organization.
Praises Junior Workers.
One hope rests with the Junior
hed cross, which is now almost
world wide in its scope. with a
membership exceeding 10000. Those
OF that body who take the training
and continue with the work will be
the Red Cross folks of the future,
who will be first on hand in future
troubles as past workers have been
in the influenza epidemic. the war,
and lesser disasters, as the recent
New York bomb outrage. We wfn
and must continue our canteen. mo-
tor, and home service, and add to
these as exigencies of the times
demand"
The final address of the day was
an intimate and amusing talk by
Mrs Fisher, Nwho. served several
years with the French. Siberian, and
Armenian commissions. Mrs. Fisher
told of her experiences with the
Moslems of Damascus when she
started the first systematic orphan
age for the Arabians in that city.
Rt. Rev. Msgr. Cornelius F.
Thomas, rector of st. Patrick's
Church, gave the benediction. The
Marine band and the Musurgia
quartet furnished music
