=, Although decision in respect to race

cision of the covenant at the Paris
peace conference the Dominion dele
gates intend to make strenuous efforts
to induce the assembly of the league
to reject definitely the japanese pro-
posal for race equality among all the
nations in the league. The Japanese
amendment in Paris was simply
shelved. having been neither adopted

ceedingS unanimous approval was nee

Japan alone could and did prevent its
defeat.
~ BY the terms of the covenant any

TAKE STEPS. TO END
DC. COAL SHORTAGE
Relief of Anthracite Situation
Promised by Bureau Di-
rector in Philadelphia.

Any present anthracite coal short
age in the District of Columbia is
expected to be entirely made up by
the end of the 1s20-21 coal year. ac-
cording to a letter received by F.
g. Robbins, director Of the bureau
of service Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. from Edward w. Parker.
director of the anthracite bureau in
Philadelphia.
Active steps have already been
taken to relieve the situation in
Washington, Mr.. Parker said. adding
that 1.-THE District does not present
any exception 10 the general rule"
On receipt of a telegram sent by Mr..
Robbins October Is questioning Mr..
here, Mr.. Parker wrote to each an
thracite operator who ships to the
District Of Columbia, calling his at
tention to the situation as reported
by his bureau and suggesting that
special effort be made to furnish re-
lief.
Operators Asked for Statements.
MIR. Robbins later wrote Mr.. Park er
concerning the situation and MT.
Parker got into telephone communi-
cation with each of the anthracite
them for statements of shipments
made during october.
Replies have been received from
only a few of the companies" Mr..
Parker's letters says, land are not
sufficiently complete to quote the fig
ments in October showed marked
Improvement and that II the returns
yet to be received show similar tend
ency the shortage will be entirely
made up before the end Of the coal
year.
fast the necessary shipments may be
thracite operators are making every
effort possible to distribute the available
tonnage equitably, and unfortunately,
the District of Columbia is not the
only territory importuning for i'm
mediate relief. Reports from the
northwest and Canada and from New
England. however, are to the effect
that those regions, which must be
given some precedence. are now fairly
we'll taken care Of and the adjacent
and moro southerly districts can now
be given moro attention.
Total ShiDments to d. C.
shipments to the District Of Co
lumbia as reported to this bureau Tor
the coal year ls1s-1s were ss4;s41
were 577.11s tons. This is an average
Of 565,779 tons for those two years.
For six months Of tho year. or say
from April to September 80, the
average would consequently be 2S2.-
$50 tons. Shipments for the present
year from April / to September 80
have amounted to 22e.243 tons, which
does not differ materially from re-
ceipts as reported to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
About half the shortage in the Dis
trict Of Columbia is due to the
lessened production which arose from
the vacations Of the miners during
September, as, except for the miners'
strike during September. shipments
would probably have amounted to
between SO, 900 and $4,000 tons. where
a. they were only about $1,000 tons.

Logging company. Logan is the owner
OF grist mill located on the banks Of

the mill having been in operation for
the past fifty years. For some twenty
years the Spaulding Logging company
has ben slicing logs down the river,

contention greatly interfering with the
operation of his mill. In March, 1918,
the public service commission issued
an order granting to the logging COM
pany franchise for the use of splash
dams in its logging operations on the
river, whereupon Logan brought suit
TO prevent the use Of the splash dams
as depriving him of his ripdSian
rights. The lower court uheld Logan
and enjoined the logging company
from any increase or decrease in the
