SHORTAGE IN COAL IN MANY PARTS 0F
 NATION REPORTED
Dozen Departments Including the White House, Urged
 to Act
ILLINOIS WANTS TO
 PREVENT STRIKE
Many Sections Seek Priority in Ship ment-RumOr Palmer Has Been Asked to Act is
 Denied

Washington, July 23.-Coal short age represented already in existence in some sections of the country and threatened in many others, claimed the attention today of nearly half a dozen government departments and agencies.
 The interstate commerce commits sion was urged to order priority in the Tidewater movement of coal to New England, and Illinois operators renewed their appeal to the white house for governmental intervention in the mine laborers' strike which is reported to have closed down half their mines. Relief for New England was promised through early action of the commission and the appeal of the Illinois operators was answer ed by the dispatch of three govern ment labor conciliators to the strike districts.
 Attorney General Palmer after con- ferring with coal men announced that he had called an informal meeting of score of mine operators, coal ex- porters and representatives of man. ufacturing interests to be held in New York Tuesday. Discussion of the coal situation, MT. Palmer said would be thorough, adding, Git will be our duty to go over the general situation with view of obtaining the advice of business in respect to existing conditions in the coal in dustry.
 Rumors were current that Presi- | dent Wilson had asked MT. Palmer to take hand in the situation, but these were denied at the department ] of justice. It was said Mir. Palmer would attend the conference in New York to get '"picture" of the fuel shortage, so the government would be in a position to take necessary steps, Eff any are required"
 The president still may employ his war powers in remedying menacing conditions and it was indicated these powers might be called into use in laying a ban on export should the priority orders of the interstate commerce commission fail to bring satisfactory results. This phase will be taken sp at the New York meeting along with discussion of prices, tran sportation problems and production.

TRUNK MURDER IS
 NEW PUZZLE FOR NEW YORK POLICE
Woman's Body May Have Been Cut by Sur
 geOn

New York, July 23-The police tonight continued their search for clues in connection with the finding here today of the body of an uni identified woman in trunk shipped by express from Detroit. Examina- tion of the body, according to an announcement late today, revealed that all of the vital organs except the brain had been removed from the body so skillfully, 1t was said, as to give rise to the belief that the removal had been accomplished by a surgeon. The trunk was found at the American Express company's warehouse where it had been sent because it was unclaimed.
 An inconspicous mark on the trunk indicated that it had been shipped from Detroit on June 10.
 Believing the trunk contained per- ishable goods, David Damaresk, an express clerk opened the trunk, which bulged at the sides, and dis covered the body.
 Distorted almost out of all re- semblance to human form by the violence with which it had been forced into the small container, the body lay under. covering of cloth ing and tron newspapers. Besides articles of women's wear which were blood stained and soiled there was a workman's jumper of denim cloth.
 Re-examination of the trunk led to discovery of tag bearing the name "A. A. Tatum, Detroit, Mich" On the records of the express com pany, however, the senders' name was carried "Tieturn." The address of the sender was given as 105 Har- per street, Detroit.
 Detroit, July 23.-A young couple giving the name of MT. and Mrs. E. Leroy occupied an apartment at 105 Harper street, the address found by New York congressman in a trunk containing the body of young woman, according to statement giv- en to the police by Mrs, Lottie Brooks manager of the apartment house.
 The apartment was rented to them June 7. They left week later with out giving notice. Mrs. Brooks stat ed that she had seen only the man leave, taking with him two heavy trunks. He explained, she said, that his wife had left the night before
 He gave her forwarding address near 'Cheboygan, Mich. Police to- night were Investigating the address.

Railroad Officers. Union Leaders to
 Testify on Strike

Chicago, July 23.-Sixty railroad of ficers and union leaders today were subpoenaed to apepar before the fed eral grand jury next Wednesday in connection with an investigation of the unauthorized walkout of railroad workers here in April.
 The subpoenas were issued at the request of Charles F. Clyne, United States district attorney, and Major J. E. Lercy Hume, special assistant attorney general, who since arrival here several days ago has conferred with leaders of the recognized railroad d brotherhoods.
 Among those for whom subpoenas were issued were John Grunau, presi- dent of the Chicago Yardmen's asso- citation, and H. E. Bedding, bead of the United Enginemen's association. These two organizations were formed at the time of the April walkouts.
 Grunau and 27 of his associates were arrested when charged with vio- lation of the Lever act "with conspir- acy to interfere with the interstate shipments of the necessities of life" and have been put on bail. Their hearings have been continued several times.
 At the time the subpoenas were be- ing issued delegation headed by Red- ding called upon Maclay Hoyne, states attorney, and protested against the alleged action of railroads in hiring young, inexperienced men and boys as switchmen. Bedding said the rail- roads were filling places of srikers with boys ranging in age from 13 to 16 years, and that accidents had increased recently because of incom- petence.
 "The only law under which can proceed is the child labor statute, J the states attorney said. eff that is being violated, proper action will be taken. Meanwhile I am asking the compliments to produce proof of what they charge"
 There was an exodus of general chairmen of the rail brotherhoods and other union officers today, following the acceptance of the railway labor boards wage award under protest by all but the telegraphers. Eight of the rail labor organizations will sub init the award to a referendum of the men, the result of which is ex- pected about September 1.
 The later board today heard argu- ments of the American Railway Ex- press company in reply to the de- mands of 10000 employees for increas- ed wages and better working condi- tions. The men asked the board for a $35 month increase.
