Exporting Large Amount.

railroad managers.
Highly Speculative Market.
In the face OF these facts, which are
memorable. we still have the highly ex-
citahle and the highly speculative coal
market Buyers are bidding against
each other for each available car OF
coal. as II the available supply Of coal
was about to be exhausted for all time.
Those who have coal for sale arc he'd
tating to accept any offer for It. lest By
making decision q few minutes too
early they lose money.
What say about supply and demand
Is true. What I say about tho spirit Of
the market IL also true The two things
are hard to reconcile. do not believe
the coal men arc vicious in spreading q
false alarm. I do not believe buyers arc
unbalanced whom they bid wildly for
coal. believe that both arc miain-
formed in part and overinnuenced by
yesterdays facts
However. there 10 This general truth

Takes Issue with Senator.
Mr. Cushing takes sharp issue with .
statement recently made In the Senate
by Senator Frelinghuysen Of New Jer-
sey that Europe would call upon Amer
lea this year to supply her with 100. ooo.-
600 to l50.0o0.0o0 tons Of coal Senator
Freiinghuysen. he says. gave tho i'm
preston that this was something We
were really going to do at once.
Tho facts are" contends Mr. Cush-
ing. shat We have only dock Ca
pacity to transship for export 49,
100000 tons q year. We will proba-
bly, export in 1890 not to exceed
100000 tons. Yet, due to Senator
Frelinghuysen'a statement, the psy-
chology Of the coal trade 10 keyed
to the need of multiplying our actual
exports by eight or twelve. The
effect on tho coal trades thought 10
obvious,
III We should try to export $780,
100000 tons It would be equivalent
to taking out OF the market for 1890
the whole production Of Pennsyl-
vania. except 25.ooo.ooo tons. Or 1t
would DO equivalent to taking out Of
the home market for 1920 the whole
production Of virginia, West Virginia
and Ohio. Such a sudden and violent
shrinkage Of home production for
homo use would naturally throw any
coal market into highly speculative
chaos. It 10 not to be wondered 1T
that such q statement made on the
floor Of tho Senate by the chairman
of the coal investigating committee
would bring q first-class market ex-
plosion."
The object of these comforting
words of assurance is to allay specu-
lative fever and induce to action

w YITH recent amendments ia
the war risk insurance act
" in effect and points Of
doubt having been cleared
up by rulings Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. the government within the
present month will begin sending
permanent life insurance policies to
all service men and ex-service men
who have converted their wartime
insurance into one of the permanent
forms provided for in the amended
law.
Although conversions to a perma
nent form Of Insurance have been
possible for more than a year, they
have been made largely on the faith
that the former service men had in
the government. No policies have
been. issued. and the men now car
ryIng insurance have certiicate
showing they are insured, but it does
not define their rights and privileges
under the law.
Now Being Printed.
Since the passage of the Sweet bill
three months ago making very I'm
portant changes in the war risk act
the government actuaries. who in
men in America, have been drawing
up a permanent policy form, and these
are now being turned out by the gov
eminent printing Office. These poll.
cies. which cover several large pages
define all the benefits the insured and
his beneficiaries have under the law
and show in what way advantage
may be taken of the cash value. loar
value and paid-up value of the service
mans investment with the govern
ment.
When the original war risk in
surance act was passed by Congress
in 1917, it was not the expectation
that the government would go into
the insurance business on perma-
nent basis Insurance was sold to
the majority of the service mon with
the understanding that after the wal
they would have five years in which
to convert their temporary policies
into some permanent policy with an
old line company. under liberal terms
arranged by the government But
with the close of hostilities it ap-
peared to Congress that the interests
Of the men would best be conserved
by continuation of the government
service, and the original act was
amended to make that possible.
The principal reason for this change
was the almost unanimous accept
ance of government insurance by the
soldiers. Members Of Congress and
officials of the Treasury Department
who framed the original act hoped
that at least Is per cent Of the serv-
ice men would take out government
insurance. But when mobilization
started there were almost 80 per cent
of the men who asked for insurance,
and that demand swamped the new
bureau with a tidal wave Of business
that it has taken two years to
straighten out.
The nineteen leading life insurance
companies of America now carry pol
icies totaling less than $1s.000.ooo. 600.
Within two years after the war risk
bureau was organised It had written

business people at this time. when

1t happens that in Washington
| there is a source OF information which
can be tapped for answers to the
questions for light upon this dark
81, bject. The American Wholesale
Coal Association maintains headquar-
tiers here in the charge Of one of the
recognized statistical experts of the
country. George H. Cushing.
Mr.. Cushing estimates that the de-
mand for bituminous coal next winter
will aggregate about 5s5.o00.0o0 tons
for domestic uses He holds there is
no reason to doubt that the bitumi-
nous mines can produce that amount
of COAL since In 1918 they actually
produced 100000 tons in excess of
that figure. The potential capacity
of the mines which produced the $780,
| 100000 tons is estimated to be. II
they should be operated constantly.
647.000.o00 tons. The figures show
, that they have a proved excess ca
pacfty of 100000 tons and a poten-
tial excess of .112.oOo.o0o tons above
the estimated demand for 1920.
Railroad Capacity.
The next question Is. "Can the rail-
roads carry that coal?" This he an
swers in the affirmative
There are some people" Mr.. Cush-
Ing says. who contend that the roads
cannot carry the coal. I am not that
kind Of a pessimist. do not and can
not believe that when everything else in
the country is going ahead vigorously
the railroads alone will be found falling
behind cannot believe that the rail-
roads. crowded as they were in 1918
| with war supplies, troops and the COM
merce of the country and interfered

ment Of troops and from the annoyance
Of conflicting orders from Washington.
| Il have faith. in word, in the eff
cheney Of private and competitive con-
troll of the carriers. as opposed to public
and non-competitive control"
Nj. Cushing has .sones 1T length into
the details Of the car supply, their car
rytng capacity and the demands to be
put upon them. drawing the conclusion
that they are adequate for the task
| ahead. He points out that the quantity
Of coal consumed by Pittsburgh comes
from the mines in the vicinity. and the
same with Cincinnati and Chicago,
while the coal moving to tidewater trav-
els but relatively short distance and
! the coal moved over the lakes comes
from nearby mines in western Penn
sylvania and West Virginia
IF. under the circumstances" says
Mr.. Cushing. there is any shortage OF
coal due to the shortage of cars, the
fault will lie with extremely bad rail-
road management. It all depends upon

ance and wanderlust comes in re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other

in Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February Of the next year {;

Denver, Aug. 16.-Branding the
strike of more than 1,1OO members Of
the Tramway Employees Union on the
morning of Aug. l as directly In con-
tempt of q court injunction and re-
straining order of May %, Judge
Greeley w. Whitford, sitting in the
fourth division of the District Court,
sentenced the seven members of the
unions executive committee to serve
ninety days in the county Jail, and to
pay the costs of court proceedings
OccasiOned by the strikers action.
Judge Whitford, Immediately after
passing judgment, denied motion Of
defendants counsel for new trial,
denied likewise a motion for stay of
execution of sentence, and the seven
men, escorted by Undersheriff Tom
Clarke and ]. w. ROnaldsOn, were
taken to the county Jail, where they
began serving their sentences. The
defendants were given twenty days in
which to file exceptions to the courts
ruling.
The seven union leaders sent to Jail
are: Henry Silberg, president of the
union; J. A. Parker, j. f. Barnett, A.
Coffeen, ]. E. McKiddie, L. ]. Siegrls
and S. II. Schoeflin, all members OF
the executive committee. Surrounded
by group of relatives, friends and
sympathizers, following the adjourn
ment of court, the men bid all

wh1sked away in automobiles to

"There are mitigating circum-
stances in connection with this action
which the court cannot and will not
overlook" said Judge Whitford in
pronouncing sentence. "TO impose
small fine, however, would not be in
keeping with a dignified administra-
ton of the law. A few days in Jail
would not, either, command respect.
"It has been matter of serious
consideration us to what the court
ought to do in this matter. The judg-
ment must not seem vindictive or
spiteful. But the court must admin
lister the laws of the people without
fear or favor, and must see that every

enjOining the tramway company from
cutting your wages, but 1t also en-
joined the company from ceasing to

order was confiscatOry, but the court
held it was their duty to operate and
so ordered it.
"lf orders of the court cannot be
enforced, then rights of person and
property must always be in jeopardy.
