WASHINGTON, Nov. Japan
will not necessarily insist upon COM

gram Of naval construction now
building, provided that a proper un-

Furthermore Japan has not forti-

she is certain of the peaceful atti-

Japan"
These and similat opinions were ex-
pressed by Vice Admiral Kato, chief naval

Indianapolis presents a rather com
plex and puzzling picture to the per
son who tries to view it as whole,
Essentially it is an industrial city,
having more than 1,1O0 manufactur.
Ing plants ranging from packing
houses and automobiles concerns, to
foundry and tool and machine works
and furniture factories. -four and
grist mills, etc. The variety Of ar
ticles manufactured is large, totalling
nearly 500.
Most OF these industries have been dull.
the auto plants, foundrles and machine
shops particularly. Some are quite active,
the furniture and -four mills leading in
this respect. Why furniture should be
in demand today Is not clear, yet furni-
- factories are busy.
Despite the depression in its principal
Industries Indianapolis is in pretty fair
shape. It has had a lot OF construction
work this year, more propOrtionately than
any other city east Of the Mississippi II
has not had a failure OF size. It has an
industrial exhibit recently about which
many prominent men had grave doubts at
the start, but which turned out 70 be a
decided success and 4 business getter.
INTERURBAS TRADE AND
TRAFFIC BIG ITEM.
Not until q person looks beneath the
surface can he understand the sustaining
influences in Indianapolis. Possibly the
chief OF these Is the remarkable volume OF
interurban trade and traffic. Only one
city in America has a greater network of
trolley, motor truck lines and that is Los
Angeles There are trolley lines every
where and auto truck services too. That
explains the great number Of wholesale

COAL RESERVE
ADEQUATE FOR 2
MONTHS AT BEST
Public Utilities and Railroads
Better Supplied Than
Householder.
YEARS PRODUCTION LOW

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The Nation
has n reserve supply of coal sufficient to
last from three weeks to two months, If
production is halted by big strike, flg-
ures obtained today from Government
sources and the National Coal Associa-
tion showed.
with the first touches of winter al
ready here the coal reserve situation as
by the National Coal Asso-
citation follows:
l. Household consumers have not
stocked their bins heavily but there
is available in retail yards, the coun-
try over, sufficient supply to last on
an average Of three weeks. Taken
together the stocks in bins and yards
will average approximately a six
weeks to two months supply.
2. Public utilities have reserves suf-
ficient TO last from two to four
months on the average.
3. The railroads have approximate
ly a six weeks supply with another
weeks supply on wheels.
4. Industries have been buying
slowly and have only small reserve
supplies.
RAILROADS AND UTILITIES
ARE BEST EQUIPPED.
Taken as a whole" the association
said, the public utilities and the rail-
road systems are vastly better equipped
with coal reserves than are other con-
sumers. But the household user IS be-
lieyed to be in position TO augment his
stocks now without great difficulty both
from supplies in retail yards and because
the public utilities and the railroads ale
so well supplied"
Coal production during the last few
weeks has been speeded up considerably
Government figures show The total pro-
duction thus far this year, however. Is
stiu at a lower point than during any
year since 1900 but Government officials
do not look on this with alarm because
OF the business depression.
Reserves In retail yards Of some Of the
principal cities as reported to the as
ISOLATION follow:
New York City-ManhattAn and the
Bronx. Three weeks supply, bituminous
and anthracite.
Fort Wayne, ILd-Thirty days blum
inous and anthracite.
1ndianapoIis-Thlrty days both an
thracite and h!tuminous.
Minneapolis-Two to three weeks sup
ply.

WALKOUT MAY
RESULT SOON
Full Strike Hinges on Opera
tors Construction of Check
Off Injunction.
INDIANA IN PROTEST

Strike Of bituminous coal miners, tying
up mines in sixteen States apparently
hinged today upon whether all mine op-
orators construe the Federal check-of in
Junction as applying to them.
II they do, strike may materialize on
or about Nov. 10, the next pay day at
the mines.
At any rate Indiana is threatened with
an authorized walkout at that time. OPP
orators in this State say they will obey
the injunction In preference to needing
yelled threats Of a strike sent out lsf
night by officers of the United MIN
Workers directing their subordinates t.
consider abolition Of the check-onr as
violation Of contract.
Is, 1000 INDIANA MINERS
QUIT IN PROTEST.
There are about 10000 miners In In
diana. Approximately 2sOGO Of them
were on strike today, protesting against
the injunction which temporarily re-
strained operators from deducting union
dues from the miners wage
Officers Of the union will resist the in
Junction Of Federal Judge Anderson with
every legal means at their disposal, one
Of them said.
1t is understood the miners hold that
the injunction affects only the Indiana
operators named as defendants. If their
position is sustained IN an appeal to the
United States Circuit Court OF Appeals
at Chicago, the possibility Of q strike
tying up all bituminOus fields viii be
considerably lessened.
NATIONAL TREASURY
LOOKS TO DISTRICTS.
There is understood to be less than
81, 100000 in the national treasury, but
uinon officers say that the Individual
districts affected would finance the strike
and that benefits would not be paid
until the strike was Eve or six weeks
old.
Judge A. B. Anderson was studying
the kilograms sent out by union officers
last night. His injunction specifically re-
strained further efforts of the union to
organize the open shop fields in West
Virginia and practice of the operators in
carrying on the check-on system. 1t will
be for him to determine whether the
telegram and it's results would be in
violation Of the injunction.
The international officials remained ST
lent and even refused to comment upon
the order John L. Lewis, president OF
the union, sent to the seventeen districts

ing on streets where city street cars run,

dismissed charges filed against bus
drivers.
Judge Solon J. Carter Of Superior
Court, room 3, today had under advise
ment preparatory to announcing a deci-
sion, the petition Of jitney owners asking

straining the city officials and police off

cent city ordinance regulating j'tneys.

cision tomorrow.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 2.-Possi-

CITIZENS FIGHT
COAL YARD AT
FAIR ENTRANCE
Bitter Opposition Shown To-
ward FOrtieth and Winthrop
Avenue Project.

Citizens residing in the neighborhood
Of Fortieth street and Winthrop avenue,
caring the esta blishment Of a coal yard
at that point, are seeking legal means to
block such a move considering Il q dam
age to their residential district. Lead
ers in the movement declared today that
they had sought protection from the
board Of public works, the board Of pub
lie safety. the board Of park commits
sioners and the city building depart
ment without avail and now are discuss
Ing an injunction suit and an appeal to
the city plan commission as a last re-
sort.
No building permit for a coal yard at
the point has been issued, according to
Building Commissioner Walter b. Stern,
but the protesting residents assert they
have information that there will be es
tablished upon ground between Winthrop
avenue and the Monon railroad, at Fortt-
eth street, owned by the Marion County
Construction Company, a coal yard which
they say they have reason to believe the
Banner Coal Company will operate for
five years.
WHAT BUILDING
RECORDS SHOW.
Records in the building commissioners
office show that on Sept. % there was
issued to the Marion County Construc~
tion Company permits to erect at the
contested point a material shed 30x20
feet and an SxS foot office building. Sub
sequently another permit for the office
building was taken out, increasing It's
size to 12x20 feet. The objecting resi-
dents say that those whom they believe
to be interested in establishing the coal
yard first asked the building commits
sioner for n permit to establish a tenn
porary building in which to store ce
ment and then came back with a request
for permanent building with the ar
gument that it would be better looking
Construction work upon the two permits
granted is in progress, the residents say
The petition which the residents say
was presented to the board of public
works board Of public safety and build
ing department without result, reads as
follows:
