UPPER POTOMAC
DECIDE CHECk-OFF

Quite a little interest is being
taken in the meeting OF the Upper
Potomac Coal Association at Cum
berland, Md, today. when 1t VIII
be decided whether the operators
will allow the miners the checK-oH
provision.
When the war broke out the min
ers In the Georges Creek and up
per Potomac fields were recogniz-
ed under the so-called Washington
agreement as outlined by DR.. II. a.
GARFIELD, fuel administrator. I'm
der this arrangement the miners
were recognized, have their district
officers and lacked only the check
of. Several weeks ago the miners
made a demand for the check on
with the threat that they would quit
on November is unless 1t was
granted
Al hrst there was disposition
on the part OF the operators to
grant the concession because the
miners had all the other privileges
Of an organized field. However.
since then the coal market has soft
ened and some OF the operators en-
terrain the idea that the check-off
should not be granted. Just what
decision will be arrived at today
ut the session is matter OF con-
lecture.
The Consolidation Coal Company
and the S. D. Brady Coal interests
are the only Fatrmont operators
that have operations in the Upper
Potomac field.

The Manley hotel has been sold to the Bethlehem

that the former hotel building in the very heart Of
the city will be turned into office building In the
immediate future. II has been known for some time
that the local hotel building on the market but
the purchas. yesterday by the coal company for
Office quarters came as . surprise. While the con
verting Of tho Manley into Office building will
relieve the urgent demand for office space to some
extent it will aggrayate the already very serious
problem Of hotel facilities in this city. Taking off
40 or more available at the Manley will in
large measure f1set the advantage gained by the
addition to The Fairmont. Even with the new
rooms at The Farmont and the Manley in operation,

FoREHANDED REPUBLICANS.

W1HEN congress meets on December 8 it will
w have less than three months in which to con-
slider and pass upon estimates Of appropriations which
will probably total close to $6.000,0 600. The
foresight Of the house leaders in the Hast session in
combining in one committee jurisdiction over all the
general appropriation bills will then be appreciated
The time is so short in which the measures must be
passed that were they to be considered by several diff
feren committees as heretofore there would scarcely
be opportunity sufficient to determine the relative
urgency Of the appropriations in each. to compare
their totals with the amount Of estimated revenue.
Under the system as it is will be possible to treat
all money bills in their relation 10 each other and to
