AMERICAN COAL GAINS.
Inquiries Received Here as Result
of British Strike.

NEW YORK, April 9-The British
miners strike is driving foreign coal
business to the United States. Charles
A. Owen. president of the Tidewater
Coal Exchange, announced tonight
american wholesalers during the
last week have received many inquir-
les for quotations from foreign buy
ers and are seriously contending for
Europe's future business" he said.
The possibility of the continuance of
high prices for English coal, because
of the wage demands Of the strikers,
opens the field of competition to
American producers.
THE demand for bunker coal al
ready has increased, because foreign
ships are loading for return voyages.
American coal sellers have not raised
their coal prices materially and are
willing to contract for foreign deliv-
cries at reasonable prices"

MERCHANTS ORGANIZE
TO OPPOSE SALES TAX
Headquarters Opened Here for
Campaign Against Senator
Smoot'S Proposal

The committee of manufacturers
and merchants on federal taxation
has established headquarters here to
prosecute the fight against the sales
tax bill proposed by Senator Smoot
and Representative Fordney. Walter
W. Liggett is temporary manager of
the bureau. Frederick F. Ingram of
Detroit will soon take charge Of the
headquarters.
The committee Of manufacturers
and merchants on federal taxation
has membership Of more than 25.-
900 of the most substantial and rep-
utable business firms from all parts
of the United States" said Mr. Lig-
gett, and we are adding to our en-
rollment at the rate of 200 firms a
day. We most emplaticalIy oppose
the gross sales tax because it is un-
just, unscientific. expensive to COL
lect, and will injure instead of bene-
filing industry.
The gross sales tax ultimately viii
be paid by the consumer. and every
handler of goods will add the tax to
his costs, with an extra charge for
collection. The result will be to dis
courage buying, just as the increased
railroad rates discouraged travel and
harmed instead of helping the trans
portation companies.
Ihe commltee OF manufacturers
and merchants on federal taxation
favors the Ralston- Nolan bill as a
substitute for oppressive taxes on in
dustry. The Ralston-Nolan bill pro-
vides for ] per cent tax on land
values. after deducting all improve
ments and allowing an exemption of
$4,000. This tax would raise ap-
proximately one billion dollars an
nually, could not be shifted to the
consumer and would be paid prin-
cipally by the owners of idle lands
and undeveloped natural resources.
In other words. it taxes idleness in
stead of industry. and the inevita Bile
result would be to encourage fresh
production instead of handicapping
existing business"

in Gulf, But No Trace
of Flyers.

! BY the Associated Press.
! PENSACOLA. Fla. April 9.-The
finding of the naval balloon A-5604,
missing from the all station here with
! five men since March 30. has not ex-
rlained the mystery of the balloons
! flight over the gulf nor the fate of
the missing men. naval officials said
tonight.
The wreck of the balloon was found
floating in the gulf about fifty miles
due south of Panama City and twenty
six and one-half miles southwest of
Cape San Bias at o'clock Friday
night. but it was o'clock this morn
ing before Capt. Ecker of the fishing
City with the balloon aboard his
vessel. The basket was about eighteen
feet under the surface. according to
Cant. Ecker The fishing schooner
sighted the balloon about mile dis
tant. but took it first for another
SMACK in distress. On closer approach
however. caps. Ecker recognized me
dereiict as the missing balloon and i'm
mediately FASTENED to tax" il aboard.
Naval officials are unable to under
stand why Chief WILKINSON. who wa
an old and accomplished free and
diris ible balloon pilot. did not cut
loose the basket and climb with his
Conranions into the load ring in order
to gain altitude in an effort to stay
in the air long enough to drift ashore.
The Navy Department late yesterday
Received confirmation of the finding of
the missing Navy balloon A-560i by
the fishing boat Electra off Cape San
Bias Friday night. The gas bag and
basket were intact, the messages said.
but no ace of the crew of five men
was fouud
The finding of the big balloon at sea
shattered the last hope held by naval
officers here that the crew might be
found alive. The general supposition
was that the balloon had been in the
water for two weeks and that the five
men were drowned. A seaplane has
been sent to Panama City. Fla. to take
take possession of the balloon.
